[ Someone has been sitting on cold sand for a very long time, gaze lost at the distance.

After his encounter with Conrad, when he walked out of the dojo the prince was blinded with anger and sadness, but now that enough time has passed... he doesn't knows how to feel. Ire and disappointment are gone to be replaced by a sensation of emptiness and a strange urge to see someone that undoubtedly will make him feel better. All he wants is to feel just a tinge of warmth and comfort.

Also, he has questions. Many of them.

With that in mind, Wolfram touches some buttons on his communicator and after a few clicks he begins the private message: ]

[ Voice - Private to Axel]
I know it is late... but If you are not busy, please meet me at the beach.

[It doesn't feel like noon, it feels like -- it must be much later than it is. God. But the important thing is that he's back at his apartment, no one is dead, and things are calming down. Hopefully he can get a few minutes to sit down, elevate his throbbing ankle, bandage up the weirdly itchy arm Mugen tore into, and pet his damn dog.

[...but first]


[voice / filtered to DF, Fou, Naoya]

We stopped Kanda from going after Road. He's sleeping now. [thanks to some sedative!] So there won't be an incident breaking out. I'm sorry if anyone was concerned. [he doesn't imagine the entire prison was up in arms, but -- the people he wants to know this are on the DF, so. that was simple enough]

[after a beat, switching to private to Alma]

Alma -- Kanda's safe. He's at our apartment, if you want to see him later.

[...click]


((ooc: feel free to drop by if you have reason to be there, just note if you want to tag Kanda when he wakes up instead of Allen))

[As the video feed rolled, it found Kairi laying on her bed in some marginally warmer clothing consisting of a green sweater and some sweats from what could be seen of her legs shifting behind her. As if she were swimming idly. She held a pencil to her mouth, nipping the eraser lightly, while her other hand cradled her head. And a book could be seen stretched out before her. She stared at the feed thoughtfully a moment before removing the eraser from her mouth.]

So, I was wondering. What's the best thing that you've had happen to you here? I'm sure we all have homes and people we miss from back home. But is there anyone or anything you would miss if you went back?

[A pause later and her eyes widened just a bit in realization.]

Oh, and Hikaru, Kaoru. I was wondering. Would you guys like to go hunt for seashells tomorrow? Don't feel bad if you don't want to. I know it's cold. I just had an idea...

[And afterward, Kairi would be idling the evening away in her room... By idling, she might be a little caught up trying to study and get back on task with everything she missed at school. Fortunately for her, the teachers have been lenient but then considering how disappearances worked, well. Either way, her door was propped in case anyone wanted to distract her.]

[ A young woman is skating around the dome, not nearly dressed well enough for speeding in chillier weather, even if it doesn't look as though Subaru minds. There is a low whine that accompanies the engines on her skates, and she's gliding along casually, paying special attention to the main roads. There has to be some pattern to the layout that could clue her in to possible escape routes.

She's restless, excited, and surprised to be off of the chains after only one day here. Even more surprising is just how tiring it is to use her abilities. She can't yet tell if it's a result of whatever force was keeping them suppressed yesterday, and that she'll recover, or if it's some kind of permanent AMF field...

It doesn't stop her from using Wing Road -- a wide ribbon of bright blue light, inscribed with Belkan runes -- to create ramps up to the tops of taller buildings so she can get a better view of things. It just means she feels weighed down after she does so. The map only did so much good, after all. She needs to see things with her own eyes. The situation might just look less hopeless that way. ]

This place is strange...

(ooc: Subaru can be found skating along any main roads any time today, from the afternoon until late evening~)

[ their cramped place at the shelter is doing wonders for Rei's mood. Today she feels...anxious. Tense. She's been pacing in the morning, cleaning in the early afternoon, only stopping to listen to what was going on the network. She's vaguely aware of what went down with Kanda, but she doesn't know him well -- so she stays silent. besides, she has had other thoughts to occupy her time. Taking care of Chibi-Usa...thinking about their situation...which is why she walks into Minako's room, head bowed, face frowning -- ]

We need to talk.

((ooc: open to Artemis and Minako and Chibi-Usa too. I'm assuming that they're all in the same room since they're still staying at the shelter!))
