Listening to music the other day made me wonder... are there any other musicians here? What instruments do you play? I know the piano and violin myself. I haven't been here for very long so I'm not sure if there are any instruments available, but if possible, maybe it would be fun to all get together and play something sometime.

[ it's a half-sleepy voice on the system here, with the slur of one who's spent a little too much time out of sleep's embrace.

he knows he's really pushing it if he can think on poetic junk like that. ]

This place 's still as charming as ever.

[ a pause, as if considering this next bit. ]

I can't remember where m' room is. We still allowed to pick 'n choose, or is Ac'men-san makin' us ask persimmon now? [ another pause. ] Permission.


(ooc: open to action for those around the shelter area.)

[Day three of being restrained, and day two of dealing with this black eye which won't heal thanks to his regeneration being blocked along with his AT Field. He looks pleasant enough when his face appears over the network, but there's a slight undercurrent of irritation in his voice, and sure enough, his right eye is still swollen shut and black with bruising. If you saw him yesterday, you'll notice it doesn't look at all improved.]

Does anyone know how to treat a black eye? It's rather painful, and it won't be healing until tomorrow, so I've still got a day to live with it.

[If anyone asks about that, he'll explain - the Second Child knows now, after all, so there's really no harm in anyone else knowing. But he isn't in the mood for going into S2 Engines and Angels with the whole prison right now.]

[Harry finally got out of the restraints! Guess what this means? No, guess.

... That's right, he's wandering around the dome, seeing the sights and all that. The dome is very strange, as far as he's concerned (not as strange as Hogwarts though - hi, moving staircases!) but seeing as he's stuck here, he may as well familiarize himself with how it works, where things are, and all that.

Of course, the dome IS pretty big, so he'll only be sticking to a few spots for now...]

[ooc: Harry is going to be wandering around in Sectors 1, 6, and 5. Please say where you'll be running into him in the subject line. Thank you! :D]

[Voice/Action]
[Zero is in the kitchen of sector 0 working on a late breakfast/early lunch. It's been a long morning and he needs time to destress and think a little. Something is going on and he's wanting to touch base with two people who would be just about as knowledgeable about the subject.]

[He's making a large batch of Ginger Pork, since he's wanting to keep his hands busy and his mind off the problem. He'd actually started pulling out the ingredients prior to realizing what he was making. When he finally realized, there was a thread of disgust with himself for the way his body just acted on instinct.]

[Especially since this sort of thing had happened before. In the end he just gave in and started doing the prepwork. It was pointless to fight it. His head was obviously trying to tell him something and the slicing of the pork and vegetables was cathartic. So he just kept cutting. He didn't worry too much about the amount he made, there was no such thing as 'too much food' when you lived in Sector 0 for some reason.]

[If you are hungry, Zero will feed you.]

[Midori's down in the shelter dining area, eating a very theoretical breakfast. Still a bit sick, the sight of it makes her feel queasy -- and slightly green -- so she simply makes a show of picking at it. By now the entire pancake has been torn apart, her fork scraping at the plate and leaving traces in the thin film of syrup.]

I hope I didn't miss anything exciting. [Completely earnestly, if a bit less energetic than normal. Touma was...]

[The video clicks on with Alma grinning brightly.]

Q, I found a rabbit! [he holds up his hands and what he's holding looks...kind of what Alma remembers the rabbit Q showed him looking like.] They have them in the pet cafe! There's so many animals here, it's amazing! Are there really this many animals in the world?

[And just then Alma gets knocked over by a short, but hefty orange and black that rolls into him. The wind is knocked out of him, but Alma is too busy laughing because animals are awesome! The large puppy--he thinks it's a puppy--licks him on the face when he sits up. The "rabbit" managed to get itself to safety by jumping onto the puppy's back where it's trying to keep itself seated.]

Wow. I didn't know dogs could be orange!

Hey, man, guess what. Creepy kid that Asuka doesn't like told me in the future, people turn into goo.

[Blinks at the camera and she appears a bit upset]

The club here doesn't have a nightly act, I've noticed.

[Sighs]

Darlings, this needs to be remedied. Tell me, what sort of entertainment would you like to see? Personally I'm a singer myself and should be able to contribute to that, but I simply can't work alone~

[ Himawari is holding a giant book titled 'ASTROLOGY AND YOU'. She seems very intent on whatever line she's reading, before she finally puts it down with a cheerful smile. ]

I used to read my horoscope every day in the newspaper back home. I know that a lot of people don't believe in astrology and sign reading, but I think it's a fun hobby! If not sometimes accurate!

[ Flips to the Sagittarius page. BEAM SPARKLE BEAM ] My birthday's on November 27, so that makes me a Sagittarius! How about you? I can read your sign for you too if anyone would like me to.

[Diva was bored again. Not because she lacked things to do, but rather because Conrad was a touch to obedient. Just because she had told him to wait, didn't mean he was supposed to. Not after he had fed and left her wanting, waiting, starving.

It had been too long since she had fed.

So she sat on top of the tower, listening, tracking his heart through the dome as he roved. Would he notice her up there? Would he hear her singing softly?

Every beat that he made her wait, Diva held it against him.

He needed to be taught a lesson~ ♥]
