[He feels out of sync. Aidou's trying to hide it, but things have just been...different since he returned to Marina. The horrible headaches and the dizziness from the transfer and the memories returning are gone, but he still feels out of place.

He had been gone a year. He had been gone two days. It looks as if nothing has changed and yet he returns to find they have a new computer in charge and so many new people.

It is as if he had lived another life for over a month and then everything went back to normal. Now that he's in marina once more, he's not sure how he should feel...how he's supposed to connect with everyone here again.

So Aidou sits at the edge of the park on a bench watching as Akatsuki stretches out in the grass. At least his kitten doesn't seem to have an trouble adapting to the changes. He looks up and notices for the first time that the dome doesn't look as he remembers it.]

When did someone put stars in here?

Tyki, if you're late then I'm going to hit you.

[Anissina's mysterious directions led Komui to... a room in the shelter. He blinked at the door, and reread the directions on his communicator to be sure it was correct. He'd expected somewhere far more interesting.]

[But nonetheless, he wasn't about to let her think he'd chickened out. So he knocks softly twice and then gives a hard, final rap on the door, as directed. Really, if she was so concerned about intruders she should develop better defenses for the door. He should suggest that to her.]

[ there are probably better ways to spend No Communicator Day than eating pizza. but C.C. did that, mostly, after helping wrangle the air freshener things. she'd considered going home at one point, but sensed both her contractees in the same place, or very near by. so, she stayed at the pizza place longer. coming out, she notices a familiar face standing outside of one of the apartment buildings, and she approaches, tilting her head to one side ]

[The stars were quickly becoming Kyouya's favorite part of this place. He'd stayed locked in his room and in the library most of the day, not really feeling like saying something he'd regret but now he's laying on the beach and thinking about random things. He briefly wondered if maybe he should've talked to Reira about their date but shrugged it off. Too late now.

He closed his eyes and sighed, on the verge of falling asleep. Bother him?]

[Murata, it is late and there is a young king standing outside your door.]

Muuuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

Mur~a~ta~

[Have your first knock. Oh, and someone miiiiight be a little bit drunk.]

You didn't come play with us. It was yooooooour idea! We waited forever!

[Since he managed to sleep through most of the day, he had no need to sleep, even that late. A smile kept on his face, he could be heard asking one question on his communicator, his tone rife with amusement.]

I can see why a murderer should gain a weight to bear for his sins, but this is simply an inconvenience.

[There's a long pause and he contains a chuckle in a rather half-assed attempt.]

Though, I wonder... What kinds of sinners are my fellow inmates? Are they ruthless murderers below their fragile exteriors? Have they stolen? Conspired? What have they done--what will they do, that put them in the same place as myself? Do they think they're good and honorable for what they've done? Are they proud about it? Do they not believe their actions to be crimes?

...I suppose it's enough to wonder, for now. I hope I have enough time to find out even a little of it, at least

[He hadn't realized it was so late when he woke, but up, but he was just too hungry. He hadn't fed since before his game with Joshua, which was probably a silly thing to do given how he was going all over the prison that night. Really, he shouldn't feel this tired, but he wonders if Sentience had done something bringing him here.

So he makes his way to the kitchens to get some blood--the bitemarks hadn't even gone away yet, so he knows he needs a healing boost now. Anyone who enters will find Rayflo sitting on a stool, stirring a spoon in a mug of red liquid with one hand and holding a cigarette in the other. His shirt isn't completely buttoned and various, bloodied bitemarks can be seen on his neck and chest, one particularly near his heart.

He'll try to get back before Cherry notices he's missing.]
