[Orihime managed to sleep through the morning announcement, but she didn't sleep through the robots who came to her door at apparently the middle of the night at 7AM with armfuls of candy and insisted on doing her hair. She turns on the video, still in her pajamas. The robots are still carrying in wheelbarrows of candy into her living room, and her hair has been artfully styled with flowers in it.]

This is the best morning ever! [beams] --What's going on?

[Edward's tinny voice can be heard in the background, fussing over the bigger robots and crying "No messes!!"]


((ooc: tagging in the morning! Chad, feel free to action-tag the chaos.))

[Ashton was up early today. The announcement had thrown off his sleep schedule completely, and  he felt restless. After a simple breakfast of bread and cheese -- it was all he had left in his cupboards -- he found his way to the training hall in Sector 6. He had been neglecting his training ever since he arrived, because of the simple fact that he didn't know this hall existed; much less that there were practice weapons available. They were far flimsier than he was used to, but he'd make due.

With a wooden sword in each hand, his headband replaced with a bandanna that kept the hair from his eyes, and his clothes rather plain -- a loose grey t-shirt and black jogging pants, Ashton got to work.

It wouldn't be until he was pouring with sweat, or exhausted, that he would stop. He knew it was pointless to work until that point, but he had to do something. He had to stop feeling so useless. Defenseless. Weak. When his blood was pumping, all of that seemed to fade away. All that he could hear was the hiss of the air as it was cut and the occasional grunts he let out as a result of his efforts.

...of course, he has the sinking feeling he was forgetting something that was supposed to happen today, but he didn't even know the day's number, so he tried not to think too hard about that.]

(( ooc: Open, but please be aware of my upcoming hiatus notice, too. Thank you~! ))

[Having heard that the new warden was encouraging the best kind of human interaction (aside from sharing a bottle of red from an especially good year), Cross is going to make the most of it. He's out bright and -- okay, maybe dark and early, but it's the right atmosphere, anyway -- looking for a lucky lady.]

[He settles himself on a bench in the park, for now, keeping an eye out for any sweet young things that happen by. After a smoke, he'll strike out again.]

((OOC: Cross is on the prowl~ Feel free to run into him wherever at any point of the day, since he'll be wandering until he finds a bedmate or three -- or just be doing something else; he's happy to interrupt. Post is most certainly wide open, but be aware that if the character is female and attractive and anywhere close to the age of consent, she will be hit on. Hard. &hearts

ETA warning: The thread with Ashura gets quite steamy~))

Isn' t this just lovely... I'm starting to wonder if anyone learns anything around here. How many times has our warden, past and present, been tampered with now? Perhaps those creators had best work on one that won't get tweaked by one of those that are meant to be kept in check.

Seems like Acumen isn't actually better than Sentience at all. Ironically enough I find myself missing the days were it actually was Sentience in charge. Silly me.~

Should any of you actually feel the need to procreate, please do so far from me. I think I'll be holing myself up at home or at the arcade. Haven't decided which, but I would appreciate it all the same. Thank you!

[This actually means that yes, Joshua will be sneaking to the arcade despite the night time going around and sleeping on a pool table. Because he can and he likes being an inconvenience from time to time. Feel free to catch him on the way there or finding him inside. He'll leave to find something to eat eventually, but for now he's not in the best of moods.

Then after a minute:]

Does this mean school's canceled for today?

[Awoke in the early morning as he often does and was rather disturbed by the lack of morning announcements. After a while, he left his home to walk around the dome. He figured maybe someone he would run into would know what was going on...

After a while though, it becomes night time in the dome...and the morning announcements occur.]

My, it's dark... [This worries him. Seeing as he doesn't know his way around the dome in the first place!]

Does this sort of thing happen often, fellow inmates?

[ Rosa awoke later than she usually would have, perhaps because of the lack of light to wake her up- and she missed the 'announcement'. So, she's quite confused. No, really confused. And she wants to know what happened. The clock says it's around 7AM, so... shouldn't it be bright outside? Fumbling with her communicator, she manages to slip it on and turn on voice. ]

Why is it so dark?! This can't be normal.

...It's not still nighttime, is it? [ if it is - then she might've just woken some people up... ]

[Tieria was asleep. As it was the first day since he'd been injured that he didn't have anything pressing to actually do, he'd decided to let himself sleep in. Of course, the lack of getting up on Setsuna's part, added to the lack of a timely morning announcement did register with him while he was still somewhat asleep.

He stirred a little, opening his eyes. It was still dark. He was fairly sure he wasn't awake at an odd time. He picked up his communicator off the table to check.]

[OOC: action thread in apartment with Setsuna is closed... feel free to use this post if you're looking to contact Tieria via the comm, tho'.]

[a few moments later...]
Voice post locked to Celestial Being (meaning Meisters and Anew)

[OOC: already established that Neil's probably going to sleep through this one because his communicator is off. Even more amusing, Tieria's getting a return call from Neil's communicator later in the day with an unexpected situation in the background. Yay for awkward! XD]

[Now, you see... The twins don't like waking up at ungodly hours of the day. This means not really before eight or nine o'clock. The feed kicks on as Kaoru moves around, to hit the alarm clock. The ferrets look a bit perturbed at the movement, as Kaoru has to move over a nice big lump in the bed to reach it. It's clear that Kaoru is not awake at all and has a pretty disgruntled look on his face. He peers at the clock, blinks then down at the lump. Pokes it.]

Time to get up, Hikaru...

[Without warning, he yanks the blankets away from his brother. HOW MEAN. He starts rubbing his eyes to get the tiredness out then notices... It's... Still dark?]

Is the clock wrong or something? Maaaan... But this thing says it's morning...

[Back to whining.]

I don't wanna get up if it's still dark out!

[Rei is as close as she's ever come to being cranky, really. First she got no sleep after her talk with Neil, and then she woke up to - well, chaos is the only way to put it. It's still dark out when she goes for her LCL treatment, still dark when she has breakfast with Tsukasa, and it's still dark a couple of hours later when she goes to stock up on some groceries.

And that brings us to this exact moment, when she enters the convenience store and finds that anything of any use to her has been removed, apparently replaced with the worst trash anyone could imagine. She edges closer to the hot dog cart and eyeballs a weiner cautiously - does that even count as meat? It smells horrible. And what on earth is 'Poop' cola?

She's scowling darkly, hands on her hips, when she glances outside and sees that it's begun to rain. Exactly what she needed.

Anyone want to meet a rare bitchy!Rei?]

Cenaþ glæm

[ the room suddenly fills with a soft white glow, and there's a ball of swirling white light hovering just above Merlin's outstretched hand. He smiles, pleased at having mastered something he'd first performed while unconscious, and sets the ball to float over his head ]

[ he hasn't really had a full night's sleep, but now that he's awake, he's hungry, and there had been little food to eat yesterday. He leaves his room and makes for the kitchen area, more confident now he has his own personal light source. He'll just take his chances of running into Uther, and make something up, if he did. No one else seemed to care about magic use, here, anyway ]

[ hopeful that the stores had been restocked, he is both happy and puzzled when he opens the door of the cold-box (he's sure it had another name, but can't remember it) to see a very limited range of items; but hundreds of them, all packed in haphazardly. He picks up something that looks like it might be meat and bread, and sniffs at it. His nose scrunches, definitely not meat and bread, at least not as he knows it ]

Ugh, what is this stuff?

In case any of you were wondering, my class is not canceled.

Any students who do not report to math class will be marked absent, and points will be taken off of your grade.

[Early Morning | Action]

[Bless Innovade technology, it was quite possible to set one's own body to wake up at regular times. However, the inner body clocks conflicted with what their eyes could see. Ribbons for one, was quite certain it was morning, but the skies remained dark -- perhaps Miss Lacus' celestial display was malfunctioning?

The next thing that registered in his senses was the smell -- of meat, spices, cheese and most of all, the meaty salty aroma of BACON.

Ribbons slowly crept from his room to go downstairs, where the scent of the food suddenly became stronger. What could possibly -- ?!

He drags a curtain aside, only to find the driveway and the doorstep with crates upon CRATES UPON CRATES PILED UPON CRATES OF TACOS. WITH BACON.]

H-Hiling...?

[... and then there was the "morning announcement". If a face meeting palm could be heard all over the prison, then the time is now.]


[Morning | Voice]

[A few moments later, Ribbons placed an open call, clearing his throat.]

Good morning, fellow inmates.

Is... ah... anyone in the mood for tacos? I most specially would like to invite those with voracious appetites.

[He doesn't sound as confident as he did the day before, but... he's trying, in the midst of visualizing what will happen if the whole lot is not consumed/cleaned very soon...]


(( OOC: Ribbons and Hiling are pretty much stuck in their house/lot as it were so feel free to drop by~ |Db ))

[After the insanity awkward discoveries this morning, Chad grabbed his guitar and decided to make his way to the Education Center for class. If there will still be class. He doesn't know, but doesn't want to make a bad impression should he skip on the first day.

He gets there early, and doesn't wait in the music hall itself, but in a room close to it. He checks the strings on his guitar, and wipes his dust cloth over it, wishing he had some oil. He'll have to get some later.

Anyone who comes by may hear this being played. He's just warming up.]

[Sakura's just stepped out of the house for one second to peer outside the door.]

...I really can't see anything. Does everyone have flashlights? I should get some too for Itachi-san.

[she takes another step outside to peer outside. How long would it take for her to walk to the store? She could get a folder and some flashlights - and her train of thought is cut off with a squeak....What - what was that? She can see something. Oh God, what if it's a - ghosts weren't real - there weren't any in Marina right?! At least if there were, they'd be friendly ghosts. Like - really nice people that are see-through and not at all like the floating, creepy people that haunted youandpossessedyouandscaredyouandkill-]

.....Hoe?

[and then she feels the hand on her shoulder. insert hysterical screaming]

HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Whoa! Sakura-

GO AWAYYYY!

ooc: This is what happens when Shiba creeps up on lolis everyone. Shiba is blue |D AND HE WANTS A WALKING BUDDY

[Roxas is illuminated by the sphere of light he's holding in his hands, and skating on his ATs around the streets of the dark dome.]

Where's the best place to put up a big light? I don't think I can illuminate the whole dome, but I should be able to brighten up a sector for a while, or something like that.

Maybe by the school?

[ After making sure Sakura was safe, Kamui has made his way to the Dolphin Observation Deck, and situated himself on the highest possible point -- a lamp post nearby. The angle still gives him a view of the water below; there's a comforting feeling, looking down on a large quantity of water in the semi-dark. Familiarity helps with the hunger gnawing at him, even though there is no one ever slated to come out of those depths -- the dolphins don't count. He's as hungry now as he was then, but there are no sick and dying people to help along this time. With the insane robot now in charge, he's concerned (and kicking himself for no longer hoarding packets). He rests his hand on his knee, and then his chin on that.

Subaru... ]

[This is the most serious voice you will ever hear ever Sakamoto speak in. His voice is lower and almost unrecognizable unless you are Japanese and can pick up his accent.]

Fellow inmates, I fear I must inform you of another great tragedy.

[There is a long dramatic pause, as if to honor someone who died.]

There appears to be no alcohol left on the premises.

...Is it seriously raining fruit punch?






[Sigh] This is a ridiculous place.

(OOC: Adult content in final thread.)

[This is...an odd day. After staring out the window for a minute or two at the...red colored rain--that had better be something other than blood--Axel wanders over to Xion's room and knocks. Since Roxas is out being a little flashlight for the greater good again, he figures he should ask if she wants to go out, too.]

Hey, did you hear about those tacos? [...That might have been the weirdest thing he ever asked.]

Cooking class is still scheduled for today, it's just taking place at my house in sector 4 because I still have food. [GIR's tacos don't count as food.] Bring an umbrella, unless you want to show up sticky.

[Before she switches off her voice feed, you can hear her mumbling under her breath about "stupid robots" and "my plants, dammit!"]

What ridiculousness. [Sano's a bit annoyed with having listened in to GIR's conversation, and is now skating across buildings, despite the rain. He can't move fast enough not to get wet, but he can move fast enough that it's not a problem for his AT.]

Even disregarding the fixation on making babies, this entire affair reeks of juvenile behavior, and perhaps dementia. Is Acumen really so incapable as to allow this nonsense?

[ooc: Sano is out rolling through town. Feel free to see him bouncing off buildings and generally having no respect for the laws of physics, should you wish!]
