[Although Reira's feeling a little more at ease after speaking with a few people, she's still nervous about exploring - this means she hasn't eaten, nor has she gone on a search for more clothes. She's shivering a little in her green sundress, sitting in the common room at the shelter and wondering what to do next.

She hums a song to herself under her breath as she plays with her lighter - anyone from Earth in the last 30 years or so would easily recognise it as Eric Clapton's 'Layla'. It soothes her when she's feeling nervous or uncomfortable, both of which she is feeling now.

She things about flicking on the video again and looking for someone to talk with, then changes her mind and stretches out on the couch, pillowing her head on one arm. She's so hungry.]

Shin...

I... have a weird request. I know how it's going to sound but -- Where can I get some women's clothes? There's a girl staying with me that needs some. I'm not too good at this so... if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

( Cut for length, shonen retardation + chess, and wince-inducing violence with eyes. )


[[ Blue = Battler, Red = Beatrice. Both Beato and Battler will be responding to comments. If you specifically WANT one, the other, or both, just mention in the subject line! ]]

U-um. [video clicks on, and a small girl with red-rimmed eyes appears, hiccups, and fiddles with the communicator some more.] I..don't really know how to work this...

I'm not really sure what all of those words meant. But I know what “murder” is, and I've never done anything like that.

There's still a lot I don't know about the world outside of Kurain village, but...isn't there supposed to be a trial first? I...know a really good defense lawyer, so...

I want to go home.

[Not being allowed to leave the room while Riku is still sleeping, and having not been able to get too much information out of Kairi as she's only been here a few days, Sora resorts to playing around with his communicator]

Hey! Hi, hello. I just want people to know that I'm okay... I'm pretty much back to normal... except sleeping is hard [SLEEP!? That's the last thing his body is interested in right now] And I want to thank everyone, and anyone who helped Riku get put me back together. And for taking care of me, and Riku and Kairi while I was gone.

Oh! Oh! And what have I missed? Axel said I missed Christmas! [SO SAD!] What else happened while I was all souless and stuff?

With all that free time I found myself in acquisition of as everyone else slept and the library is poor, I made a list! Mostly for Sentience, and-- that lawyer. (He waves a hand dismissively; he doesn't care in the slightest.) Never did get his name. But, I thought I'd let everyone have a look. Why hide crimes? We're all criminals here.

( Laws of Time--! And also the Master being self-centred. )

You see, kiddies. (His expression is a mockery of solemnity, as if he's trying to explain something very, very basic to very, very simple people.) The Laws of Time are Important (hear that capital letter--!). They're not to be broken. If the Laws of Time are broken, then very bad things happen. We don't want those very bad things to happen now, do we? It could result in, oh, the destruction of planets. The wiping out of entire peoples. And we're here to learn how to be good. To stop that from happening.

Why, Sentience! You're almost as bad as me! (And he laughs before going to turn off the feed, but then--)

Oh, no, wait! Question! Lying. How many Brownie points do I lose for it? We might have to re-do introductions, Marina.

((ooc: Bored Master is really bored and seeking attention.))

Josak, are you busy this morning?

This is basically a lot like Conrad's hospital post. Only people that know her / that know that she's injured can access action, but feel free to access voice! Also, for action, I'm perfectly fine with Gino / one of the defense teamers coming in to talk to her as long as they don't - uh - try to break her head open? And lmao, as much as I don't want to, exorcists can't visit her - I'm sure the bots would not take strangling as a good visitor's excuse people. But Allen can come. So it's all good.

She's still restricted to the bed, meaning she can't walk just yet and her arms are still extremely sore. Not fully recovered atm. Also lots and lots of bandages.


Huh. There's so many new people...I wonder what'll happen once Sentience runs out of room.

[soft laugh] Maybe it'll start executing us~ I mean, there's already a graveyard and all, so it's a possibility - isn't it?

[Because the kitchen is practically her second home in this place, Lenalee's there bright and early this morning after her earlier activities, this time cooking for Komui and making a big pot of coffee. There's a kitten laying down next to her communicator, pawing at it curiously. She takes the device and puts it on when she notices after the cat meows a bit and offers up a smile.]

See, Aidou? I went to the Pet Cafe first thing and got Anita. She's even cuter the second day.

Mm, I noticed a lot of people saying something about what happened yesterday evening, but I'm alright. Sorry if I worried anyone. [Kind of waving it off, no big deal~ could have been worse. Turns back to the food and pot of coffee and oh, if only communicators had delicious Smell-o-vision.]

Mm, I always end up making way too much... so, anyone's free to stop by and have some of both food or coffee if you catch me before I leave.

[he draws up to the front door, thinking. it's been an extremely hectic morning, but in a way that's helped him; cleared his mind, got his brain going, and best of all, shaken C.C. -- it might be unkind of him to think so of what had very nearly been a disaster and had clearly ruffled her, but one good effect of the morning's incidents had been shaking her determination to accompany him to his chess match with a man obviously upset to have lost his sister and fiancee, while dressed as a cheerleader, to encourage them in their intellectual overcompensation.

[...that was the phrasing he recalled her using.

[Lelouch straightens his back and readies to knock at the door.]

[Russel leaves his seekrit lab where he's working on that project, and is headed toward the kitchen to get himself something to eat. He's reviewing his notes, coded, of course. Only one other person was capable of reading them. Sure, he was dragging his feet on this project. Truth be told, he could have been done in hours. But he had his own conscience to reckon with. Until the engineers were more than just an obnoxious voice, he was going to stall that woman out. He had all the cards. What could she possibly do?]
