[The following handwritten note is left at the apartment while Setsuna is out for his morning jog as a result of yesterday's 'disagreement' over Tieria's 'disappearance' that morning:]

Setsuna -

I am to return to the hospital for a follow up on my injury today. I will return here when I am done.

- Tieria

[Once he makes sure it's in a place Setsuna will easily see it, Tieria's on his way to the hospital. He's still limping, and it'll probably take him a little longer than usual to get there, so feel free to spot him and annoy him while he's en route.]

[Morning - Hospital Grounds | Action | Open]*

[The man who once called himself the leader of Innovades sat quietly on a bench under a tree in the hospital's courtyard, as a "nurse" bot hovered nearby. He was clad in light, button-up pajamas, small blanket neatly folded by his side, communicator currently switched off. He cannot recall how long he had been knocked out, but he had been aware, as his conscious and unconscious mingled in the haze of his mind. He heard their voices -- the words were superfluous but their tones: doubt, question, challenge.

Is this what they call "karma"?, he mused. A new life, yes, but one where the consequences of his actions in the previous one came all the way in a full circle to him. No amount of stock VEDA knowledge, nor Alejandro's training in diplomacy prepared him for this.

About to lose himself to his thoughts, movement had suddenly caught his attention from the corner of his eye and whoever it was, will find a slightly startled Ribbons...]


[Noontime - Ribbons' room | Voice | Private to Jennifer Shibuya]

[Later in the day, Ribbons had been ushered back to his room to fully recover upon recommendation of the bots. There were important calls he had to place, specially when he had set an appointment that he was unfortunately, unable to entertain.]

Hello, Miss Shibuya? Good afternoon...

[While he managed to maintain an uplifted tone, there was a minute croak in his voice that would betray his disposition.]

I... apologize I had not been able to entertain you for tea, these past two days. May I have the pleasure of inviting you once more?


[Afternoon - Ribbons' room | Voice | Private to Euphemia Li Brittania]

Good afternoon, Princess Euphie. I realize it has been a while since we last spoke. I have a few questions regarding the upcoming classes. If you would please spare a few moments of your time?


(( *ooc: he's back up, as mun is back from hiatus! :D Feel free to pester and harass if you're by the area~ ))
 

[Lyle probably should have set this to voice since video shows how tired he is. It's obvious that he either didn't sleep, or didn't sleep well. In the background there are the sounds of Frederick moving around the room.]

Neil, since you were saying that you overheard Anew was here yesterday, perhaps today the three of us would be able to meet. I know she'd like to meet you... and you won't let me live it down until I introduce you two.

"Attendance is not mandatory, though highly encouraged."

In other words, it would look good for you if you comply. On that note, I wonder how many are actually going to be turning up.

[Giggles]

I suppose whatever makes you feel more at home, hmm?~

[To those who are wandering around the asylum early morning: you will notice that there are flyers. Everywhere. Each printed paper is stapled, excessively so, to the surface it is attached to. On surfaces that do not accept the puncture of a tiny staple, like metal, they are taped. It seems a certain psychotic somebody learned how to use the printer!

Even more so, he has a plan. This 'plan' can be illustrated by looking at the poster.

( Here is the poster. )

Clever? You decide. React as necessary if you feel so. You know you want to.]

So. On the whole, prison blows. I'll leave the 'what' to your imagination. You're a yappy crowd.


Yeah, that's all I've got.

[paaaaaaaaaaaaause]

Oh. Wait.

Anybody have a harmonica? That'd complete the experience.

[The video comes on, showing Orihime sitting on her bed, cross-legged, with her still-damp hair piled on her head in a neat bun. She is surrounded by various stuffed animals, and her yellow Haro, and beams at the camera.]

Ta-daaa! Orihime's Amazing Plushie Emporium! I just wanted everyone to know that if you asked me for a stuffed animal, I got them all done. [holding up two cute dogs] For Rayflo-san... [and a stuffed cat and a catnip mouse] For Cielo-san... and I made a matching one for Kururugi-kun, but I already gave it to him at his birthday party.

[and a Chappy doll, and she giggles] And one for Kuchiki-san, too.

[brightly] The others I just made for decoration. [there's a little pig, and a little tiger, and a little bear] I'm working on C.C.-san's sundress and I have to fix Heiwajima-san's shirt... But then I can make anyone else something if they want.

[ Now that he has the dictionaries, he's gotten himself situated at one of the picnic tables in the park. The table itself is covered with sheets of paper with funny, blocky writing on them, in various stages of completion. There's also an inkwell with a fountain pen, positioned beneath a little paper tent so it doesn't dry out in the sun. One of the dictionaries -- with more kooky writing in it -- is opened to a section, all waiting to be used.

And amid all of this, Lavi should be working on his translations. Everything's ready, perfectly placed to begin!

But he's fast asleep, head resting on one arm, the other dangling at his side. ]

[His morning chat with penis flaunting little Gir had left Wolfram in a bad mood. He doesn't cares if Gir has a cat for brains or whatever, his attitude was annoying and downright reprehensible. Hopefully Acumen will scold him for scarring so much innocent eyes including his.

Since he doesn't has any plans for the day, he opts to go to his apartment. Maybe he will find Josak there and they could hang out or do something together. The spy is always a good source of distraction and entertainment.

It doesn't takes him long to reach his destination. As soon as he opens the door of their shared apartment:] Josak, are you here?

[Unfortunately, Tear hadn't shown up for training. It wasn't all that concerning, but a bit disappointing. Still, it wasn't going to stop Conrad from his daily regimen of sword practice. Today he's decided to forgo the dojo and practice in the park, liking the thought of fresh air.]

[Not wanting to be of concern to passersby, Conrad's real sword is still sheathed at his hip. He's using one of the wooden practice blades from the dojo to execute his impressive series of exercises. He brought along a few spares too, just in case, but any company is welcome.]

Um... hi, everyone! I hope I'm doing this right...

[Saya clears her throat; she sounds a little nervous, but determined to ask this. She needs advice!]

For anyone who has brothers or sisters -- or anyone who has any ideas, really -- what does it take to be a good sibling? What kind of things should you... do? Um, together?

[A bit of rustling due to nervous fidgeting. Hopefully Diva didn't hate her after she ran off the other day.] Anyway, thanks.

[ //open// late morning ]
[After the party, Allen drifts off to the pet cafe. He's just standing outside, looking through the window at the animals playing inside and smiling sentimentally to himself. It is completely sappy. Feel free to come bother him...!]


[ //closed// afternoon ]
[...until later in the afternoon. When he finally pries himself up and sets off in the opposite direction, to the house where he knows Road is staying. He'll try the obvious and knock, to see if she's there.]
