[Anyone who's outside can clearly hear the masked man singing, his voice is somewhat sad and reminicent. He's holding a rose with a black ribbon tied around the stem and keeps it close to him as if letting it go would be the death of him.

He brings his hand up to adjust his mask slightly and with out realizing it hits a button which activates the video feed, making the song audible to anyone paying attention.

At the end of the song, he leans against a tree and slowly sinks down until he's sitting on the ground with his head in his hands making it look almost as if he's crying.]

(OOC: The song he's singing is called No One Would Listen, it was deleted from the movie for time restraints and I thought it would be a good one to have him sing here. Here's a link to it :)

No One Would Listen)

[It's late. Or early, if you prefer. Nice and quiet in the shelter, not a creature was stirring... except for Komui and his tools in one of the common rooms. What, the library was creepy at night! Luckily, he's long finished the part where he needs drills and is just testing the --]

WEEEOOOWEEEOOOWEEEOOO!

[-- motion detector. Whoops.]

((OOC: Said device? Is a self-defense machine. So attack it and it may attack back!))

[Mystic Maya was hurt. badly.]

[Pearl woke up at around six or seven to find herself in the hospital, wearing a hospital gown but not...sick or injured or anything, as far as she could tell.]

[but someone had hurt Mystic Maya, and her cousin wouldn't tell her who, how, or why. laughed it off and said she'd fallen.]

[...and told her she shouldn't channel Dahlia again.]

Could someone tell me what happened last night? I think...I think I hurt someone important to me.

[Ryu flicks the video on, sighing.]

That was... a strange day. I still don't understand most of the things I've seen, but... I guess I'll have to get used to it.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment or two.]

I guess I'm stuck in here for the night. I... think.

[Not really up for sleeping at the moment. There are some things that have been bugging him, to be honest. Buuuuuuut there's nothing he can do about it here... His plans just won't work in this setting. It's all wrong. But at least this way... Things won't change.

Right?

Nevermind that, right now anyway. Kaoru's snagged a book and has taken it upon himself to read in the common room. Literature is something he enjoys. This book isn't by an author that he's familiar with, but that seems to be the case with the selection entirely. He's not going to complain. Yet, anyway. If it gets boring... Well then that will change.]
