( How Easily One Becomes a Mad Scientist )
[There's the sound of glass breaking as the windows of one of the thought-to-be abandoned buildings in Sector 2 blow out, a thick purple smoke that looks more like a fog bursting forth and saturating the area. It settles around the building for only a second before spreading out, a lavender mist that blankets the streets of the prison in the wee early hours of the morning.

Some may feel sick upon breathing it in. Or maybe they feel tired, fatigued and hurry home to sleep. Others may not notice anything until later. By the time the morning announcements come it will have faded completely. It would be like a strange dream until it's too late.]

{OOC: People can have reactions to the gas or explosion in this post! Event-style, threadjacking approved! Some people will have negative feelings or reactions, and if you're undergoing a mutation, there may even be stress and pain on your body if you want the gas' affects to begin now. All affects of the gas are up to you. But no one will have completed any kind of transformation/experience full effect of the gas until Morning Announcements or later! Oh, and people who see or some to ground zero won't find Richie as he'll have gotten out of Dodge.}

[He wakes up in time for the morning announcement, but when he sits up, the brush of his left hand over the sheets startles him. It feels strange. And when he looks at his left hand, it's-- gone.

[--Not gone, but different, normal. It's skin and blood and bone. And he's been staring at it for ten minutes. When he flexes his left hand, it responds, and he can feel it responding, muscle flexing, and...

[It's normal. His Innocence is-- Oh God.]



Komui! [he's scrambled to throw his shirt on, hide his arm, and heads out into the hallway. his voice is a little panicky there, and he isn't putting the filter on] S-- Supervisor Komui are you-- Can you hear me?

[Guilford wasn't at the ceremony last night, and she'd hoped to see him. He was a link to Cornelia in a way that no one else was. She had called to talk to him, but he never responded. And then again this morning he didn't answer. It wasn't like him, so she checked the list. She just stared at it with sad eyes for a few minutes before turning the voice feed on. She isn't sure who she wants to tell so she just says it openly.]

Guilford has left.


(OOC: Details on her shielding power. You can find her in or near the shelter, and you can look, but you can't touch!)

[All it took was to wake up this morning wanting a cigarette, and Cross discovered exactly how the so-called explosion in Sector 2 had effected him. It wasn't every day he could light a smoke with his finger. He quite approves.]

[And so is on the lookout for something interesting on which to utilize this new talent. He walks among the more populated areas of the dome -- for once, he's all too willing to run into that pest Link -- idly flicking his fingers as he walks and igniting a little flame each time.]


((OOC: Cross can be run into at any non-remote area. Obviously his super power is fire, but he probably won't burn you unless absolutely necessary. Or you're Howard Link. :P))

[There's a panicked shout from a room in the shelter, and Jun turns on his communicator, pointing the camera down at his chest, revealing a hard, dark, metallic chest plate with protrusions sprouting from his chest. His voice is shaky when he speaks.]

Did... did anyone else wake up... different today?

[Please let him not have been the only one. D8 ]

Good morning inmates. It is the 81st day of the third generation.

As some may have already noticed, several hours ago there was a small explosion in Sector 2. Remote units have commenced a cleanup of the area, and any classes in or close to the Education Center labs will not be held in their designated rooms because of this. Direct all class inquires and concerns to your teachers.

Construction of the playground in Sector 6 is finished, and now open for inmate use.

Inmate Tavros Nitram, your request is at the entrance to Sector 0.

[Remy woke up that morning with the chain gone (he'd never gotten back to Kitty on that...) but with a familiar, terrible feeling in his chest.

When he caused sparks to fly off the doorknob to the room he'd been staying in the moment he touched it, he knew he was in trouble.]

Merde...

[The smart thing to do would probably have been to stay in his room, but he needed groceries and a chance to walk around, possibly work off some of the excess energy.

He'll try to avoid people, but feel free to run into him. Physical contact will result in a fairly strong static shock.]

( In which Zelda is Sheik but wait not really... )

[Sheik, or rather, Zelda makes her way back across the street to the shelter, but changes her plan at the last moment, turning instead to head towards the athletic complex. It seems like a place where one might find Sheik normally, so she wouldn't attract as much attention there. If only she can get there without being noticed.]

((OOC: Details. Feel free to encounter sheik!Zelda anywhere between Sectors 0, 5, 6 because she fails at being stealthy, though not actually in the shelter. She should be around there all day.))

--king dammit! [Her voice, while still quite raspy, carries no small amount of venomous annoyance, and manages to reach quite a pitch.]

[Saki's already destroyed three lighters, one pair of shoes, and now a mug; a full mug, and the hot liquid it held before deciding it wanted to be shaped like a rectangle and not a mug is now all over her shoes. In her surprise, she had fallen backwards and managed to bump her head against the shelter kitchen's countertop.]

What is going on today. [Quieter, but still very, very annoyed.]

[Well, that explosion woke her up well and she just couldn't fall back asleep. However, she feels funny. Her hands and fingers feel numb and soft, a slight tingling feeling. Maybe it will wear off in a minute....]

[But, hey, a new day! Spend some time with Ciel and her Angelic Layer doll is finished! She needs to share that with Lelouch as well, and find some other things to do. She is getting better at putting her hair up by herself and getting ready, putting on her communicator and turning it on to hear any other messages from the network. Though, right when she reached to put away a cute bunny that she dressed up herself, things got freaky. White clear strings just laced out of her fingers, grabbing onto the plush doll. And the bunny moved.]

[Sorry, network, but have a screaming wake up call.]

Um, everyone! Something really strange happened to me this morning! Look!

[She put the camera onto the rabbit, moving one hand up and the other down, going into some pattern. The bunny is walking and twirling around. But, hey, she is staring to smile a little.]

Ah...This might not be bad at all!

[Uther wasn't entirely pleased with the gas floating around earlier, but at least it hadn't seemed to cause any harm to anyone. He didn't think too much more about it until he went down to the kitchen. He still wished he could find a way to get a few servants around here, but although he might gripe about things, he couldn't sit back and refuse to do anything, either.

Those thoughts left his mind completely, though, when he went to get a snack from the cooling machine-device...refrigerator...but it floated toward him before he could touch it.

[What the...?] He jumped back, frightened. He reached again tentatively, nervously, and it started again. Not smoothly this time, but a more jumpy, uneven kind of movement. He scrambled out of the kitchen rather quickly.}

This is NOT happening!!! I CANNOT have...NOOOOO!

[Hiling woke up, not feeling particularly rested at all. She vaguely recalled a loud crash and seeing some sort of mist outside her window before she went to bed... or maybe it was a dream. Heading down the stairs toward the kitchen, she thought she might feel better if she had some breakfast. Hopefully Ribbons would be in a better mood than last night.]
