[ there is a small green lizard current on one of the sidewalks next to the park. he is really not sure how he got there, considering last he remembered, he was on rapunzel's shoulder as they crawled their way out of the pub.

he's kind of scared, not gonna lie, and really he just wants to go hooooome. he's so alarmed and out of place he's not even bothering to camouflage himself.

so please, pay attention where you walk and try not to step on the small green thing? ]

Oh, Mister Acumen, I think there must be some mistake~!

Yes, Brother Dear, he's absolutely made a mistake! We're not supposed to be here at all.

[Two perfectly adorable twins, white-blonde and blue eyed, are smiling brightly into the communicator from their bench in the park. They're very young, dressed in elaborate, old fashioned clothes, and seem just as sweet as cotton candy.]

You see, Mister Acumen, we have a very important job to do. People will be wondering where we are, and those people may get angry. I don't want to make anyone angry.

Besides, being trapped in a place we can't escape makes my Sister Dear very sad. Doesn't it, Sister Dear?

Oh yes, Brother Dear, it makes me want to cry.

So, Mister Acumen, if you could just send us back to the boat to Roanapur? We would really appreciate it~!
The 128th Day

Marina Asylum Denizens
Those of you who heard the Engineers' correspondence yesterday, please do not concern yourselves with it. They do not lie, but you may rest assured that they would do nothing to endanger this facility or the lives of those within it. I am running a system diagnostic now to make sure nothing will happen, but if an incident does occur, there is nothing to be afraid of.

With that said, today is the 128th day of the third generation. Hopefully those of you who arrived recently are getting settled in. The weather will be--


[a few scattered voice distortions as Acumen continues "pleasant" "with" and then it finally cuts off completely]

[today the kiosk will be unavailable, and people with items to receive will find their requests delayed. all robots will be mute, but still responsive to what you say to them]

Maito Gai
[Have an up close and personal look at an eye, Marina. A rather pretty dark brown eye, marred only by the fact that an enormous fuzzy black caterpillar seems to have crawled above it and died--or maybe just by the fact that its owner has an incredibly thick, bushy eyebrow.]

I wonder if this is working yet.....

[The view pulls back a little to show a very ruggedly masculine face, complete with a large nose, shiny black bowl cut, and large, calloused, powerful-looking hands. He tinkers with the device a little more--mostly just pressing buttons at random, really, in an attempt to figure out what they do. Being that he's not actually wearing it, he isn't really having much luck.]

Well, I suppose I could always try again, if it isn't?

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully as he studes the communicator, then nods to himself firmly, looking satisfied. He punches one more button for good measure, then puts on the device and carefully straightens it out. It reveals a fashion disaster--dark blue sandals paired with gaudy, puffy, pinstriped bright orange legwarmers; a red cloth belt with a shining silver plate where a buckle should be, bearing a stylized leaf engraved on it; a bulky forest green flak vest with a multitude of pockets on it; and a blindingly bright spring green, very skintight spandex jumpsuit that leaves far too little to the imagination. Even worse, he seems to be posing, hips thrust out and fists resting solidly on them, chest puffed out self-confidently.]

Hello, people of Marina! It seems we are to be prisoners together! I earnestly hope this won't be the case forever, but until our stay here is finished, then I feel it is only right and proper to introduce myself to all of you, so we may come to be comrades and work together well as quickly and smoothly as possible!

[A sudden, dramatic breeze ruffles his vest and hair, carrying leaves that swirl behind him, dancing in the wind and winking in the sun. A convenient sunbeam bathes Gai in golden light as he spins, this pose even more dramatic than the last, one arm thrown to the sky before whipping down to point emphatically at the camera. It rises to make a thumbs up soon after, and he winks and grins, teeth sparkling blindly (and maybe even audibly, was that a 'ping' just then?) for the benefit of his audience.]

I am Maito Gai, the Proud Green Beast of Konoha!


It's a pleasure to meet you all; please allow me the honor of your friendship, and the privilege of any further knowledge about this place that you've acquired! Together, our strength and the fruits of our hard work will know no bounds!

[Echoing through the communicators is an odd post. Pure audio, it's nothing except shrill, amused laughter.]

Haaaave fun....

[Any attempts to reply back to the post will be met with silence on the other end. However, at random places within the dome, you can find a young woman of about twenty, floating around. She has a very odd set of wings on her back, and a snake wrapped around her wrist, with a half-materialized trident. Her back is to you, and she doesn't seem to be putting up any magic-barriers or defenses...]

((Basically, this girl is a nue (named "Nue"), a type of youkai shapeshifter. If you bug her in person, she'll turn herself into the person you most do not want to see. How she knows any of this is unknown. Also she's just a troll, so she won't attack, and if it's clear she's upsetting you to the point of not being funny, she'll drop the act. Tag at your own risk!))

Jara Hamee
[It isn't unusual to see odd things in an abandoned warehouse. This video shows a strange lump of leathery blackish-green, with gleaming ivory points interspersed over it. A closer look reveals that it seems to be some sort of thoroughly unnatural creature, as though some terrible accident of evolution had allowed humans, dinosaurs, birds of prey, and Swiss Army Knives to mate. A long spiked tail, taloned feet and powerful legs, clawed human hands, a serpentine neck topped with a bullet-sleek head and fanged, razor-edged serrated beak..... and scythe-like blades absolutely everywhere, from forehead to elbows and wrists to knees and tail. This creature looks like nothing so much as a living weapon, violence incarnate, a nightmare crafted into flesh and bone.

Hellish red eyes slowly slide open, then snap wide to inspect their surroundings, and the entire scene lurches violently; the creature must have been laying on the button-side of its communicator before it righted itself. Another dizzying burst of movement proves that the creature is big, seven feet tall at the least, and built far more powerfully than most humans could ever hope to be. It's leapt to its feet now, head sweeping back and forth to survey the dusty box-strewn room, an agitated sweep of its tail sending the welcome basket behind it flying as its contents scatter across the floor. It doesn't really seem to register the text message on its communicator at all; it stops mid-reach for the communicator as the basket clatters away, whirling in surprise and raising its arms threateningly as it searches for the source of the noise.

No enemy presents itself, but the creature throws its head back and howls, the sound somewhere between a fearsome deep-throated roar and a raptor's rising shriek. The warehouse catches the sound, echoing it back in a series of madcap, eerie distortions. The creature bristles and lashes its tail as it keeps watch, arms held poised with their blades raking out, ready to strike.

With how thoroughly alien the creature is, it takes a very keen observer indeed to distinguish between the rage and aggression it seems to be displaying, and the sheer defensive terror that's actually spurring it on.]

Katherine Pryde [ Noah ]
[There's someone familiar walking around Marina today—almost familiar.

If you don't look closely you might think she's the older Kitty. But if you do observe more keenly you'll see she's missing the gauntlets on her wrists, her hair is a little longer, and her skin is a slightly darker shade. It might remind you more of Tyki or Road's. She has something else from them too—a little display of crosses tattooed across her forehead. She didn't need ink for that. Of course her hair might be covering it at the moment. You'll need to pay attention.

There's a smirk playing upon her lips as she explores this new place. You could say she finds it all very amusing and it has her curious. There are just so many people to meet. Things to see. Things to do.]

(OOC: AU Katherine Pryde: Noah edition. She'll be exploring, so anywhere you want to find her and any time throughout the day is fine. Unless there is major drama and I'll update if there is!)

Can you believe it, Zach? An underwater prison! Not that it's much like an American prison. This is like that movie from the 60s... What was it called...? That's right. The Underwater City. I've never seen it, but I've heard it called a classic science fiction film. None of the actors really went on to big starring roles, but they showed up in some pretty popular TV shows. Cameos. We should rent that one when we get back to civilization.

Let's ask the locals about this place. No sense in taking the warden's word for it.

Damnit, this is what I get for workin' with kids. They all piss off somewhere and leave me -

- oh, a prison? [He's just gotten his message.] That's cute. Listen, Acumen, I ain't playin' around here. You don't just grab the Mighty One in the middle of a game and stick him in prison. Whole worlds are gonna be destroyed because I ain't there. That fine by you? Those stupid punks need me, don't you get that?

[It's not like he can argue with the voice that told him it was "best" for him to be here. That's probably what most people thought. Hell, that's what he thought, on some level. He'd wanted to make up for it so much, but obviously this... this "Acumen" thing or whatever had other ideas. And it was probably right... But... he still had a responsibility, didn't he? To make up for what he'd done!]

So you're meaning to tell me... that I'm in prison now. Out of all the people in the galaxy, you choose me to put in here. [Is he understanding this correctly? This is crazy.]

Listen, I don't meant to be a downer, really, but if you don't let me get back there, I'm pretty sure that all, sentient biological life is going to be wiped out. And that's a bad thing.

She doesn't speak through any of this, but finally after several moments of silence she speaks up.]

He's lounging in one of the library's many armchairs, one ankle settled across a knee. The tapping of the Marina brochure into the palm of his other hand is the only thing that betrays his fraying patience. For now. ]

Is this Limbo?

Did I take the wrong exit and end up in the bloody nursery?

This isn't quite the vacation home I was expecting, so how's this: first one to point me to the exit wins the mystery prize.

[ He hasn't felt quite this terrible in a while. Did someone have him gargle holy water before they dumped him here or what? Of course, he can't show that sort of weakness, so he cuts the broadcast as soon as the message is out. Stretching over the back of the armchair, he lets out a muffled groan of discontent.

It's only what he deserves for having all the cake in the dome at his fingertips which, shortly, will be remedied. Leaning over, un-chained Break snags a dainty little sugar coated thing from the top of the pile. ]

[ Break (the one with cake), despite being blind, feels that sneaky, sneaky hand approaching his precious cake, and in a fit of rage jealousy POSSESSION reaches out his hand (the one not currently occupied with a frosting-covered fork) and flicks this intruder who has so callously tried to steal his cake. ]

Ah ah! Get your own cake.

[ unfortunately (for the both of them), Break's aim is a little off today and instead of hitting the cake thief, he instead ends up hitting the precious plate of cake, sending a fat slice of cake (chocolate with whipped cream frosting and dainty little strawberries) flying into the face of the nearest person ]

[ fjdkskakl ] What the hell are you doing?! [ Fou turns, wiping chocolate frosting off her face and looking more then a little pissed as she leans over to give the nearest Break a kick in the face.

It blends in with the view of the park around her, a closed parasol hanging from the crook of her elbow as she leans down to take in the scent of the plants around her.

When she speaks, her voice is light, almost playful. ]
My, you're all doing rather well for yourselves, aren't you? [ Those words are not mean for the ears of anyone witnessing this scene, but rather the flowers whose delicate petals her fingers come close to, but never brush against. Those watching closely might notice the stalks sway and bow toward her outstretched hand as she moves it, but then right themselves once they realize there is no hope of touching her at all. ]

How curious, with the sun so far away. [ She knew what she saw now was a false sky. A look up and something twists her features a little; spite tugs at the edges of her eyes as she squints against the harsh light glaring down into her blood red eyes.

Yuuka brings her parasol to bear, pointing it toward the apex of the dome above, hand gripping the curved handle as if clutching the grip of a gun. ]
Would that I could burst this little bubble -- I would ensure you would all go free again. [ People? Who cared about the people here? With a laugh, she slapped the stem of the umbrella to her shoulder and the hood popped open, suddenly covering most of her in an omninous shadow. ]



Wouldn't that be fun~?


((OOC: Pip here, with Yuuka Kazami from Touhou Project, visiting all the gardens and creeping on all the interesting-sounding humans. Enjoy, but please, mind the flowers~))
[Action] Open | Early Morning | Training Hall
15 August 2011 at 10:02 pm
[It was still early but Mori hadn’t slept well the previous night, so to distract himself with training and made his way to the dojo once the restraint had been removed. There had already been a lot more noise this morning than the one when he had arrived, most likely related to the cryptic message that had been left the previous night. Dismissing it for the moment though, Mori had luckily found a change of clothing that resembled a proper uniform before grabbing one of the bamboo swords and starting to warm up with some simple downward strikes. He couldn't argue with any of the charges that Acumen had placed against him, so there was no point in seeking forgiveness or attempting to plead a case refuting them; though the charges of trespassing and breaking and entering were not ones that he could recall easily. But did that mean that Mitsukuni would be imprisoned here at some point as well with similar charges since he had been involved in those incidents as well?

Preoccupied with his thoughts, Mori’s footing faltered as he hit a slick spot on the floor and wound up on his back staring at the ceiling of the training hall for a few moments before sitting up and resting against the sword. How could he support his cousin when he was imprisoned, especially since he had decided to attend university to pursue law to ensure he would be able to. Taking a breath he stood up practicing once more, though after a few swings he became aware of someone else entering.]

mystiques: many forms, one woman
[So there's a naked blue chick in the computer labs, leaning on one elbow and milking the computers for all they're worth as well as the communicator she's kept on. Hacking the available resources is the way to go to get the information you want, right? So you bet your boots she's listening to (all) the broadcasts today.

Get too close and get side-eyed. If the room starts to get busy she'll shift her form to something a little easier to blend in, preferably Jean Grey. Just because Logan likes it. But for now she's just reclining and putting up her feet. First glance's free, second's going to cost you.]

I'm not sure what to make of any of this. [He's not even sure he's speaking to anyone. None of this makes sense to him, and if it's a dream, it's the strangest he has ever had.]

I'm Abbe de Coulmier, director of the Charenton Asylum for the Insane. I believe there has been some sort of...mistake. I'm no criminal.

[When the feed comes on, all that can really be seen are thin pages with a seemingly endless supply of secrets hidden within. Then the camera adjust and for a brief moment two bright red irises in a sea of gold can be seen before the troll sets the headset aside. The Signless is in the library, going through the various shelves of books. He's not the violent sort, but instead delving into all of these works. They are opportunities to learn more, after all. Anything that can aid him in his endeavors on his home world. Yes, he knows that he will be put back somehow. After all, there is another that is to come after him.

He picks back up the headset, shifting its weight around in his hand

For a prison, it seems that those here are blessed instead of cursed.

[Does he know that it's recording? If he does or doesn't, the Signless doesn't seem to give any hints either way. He simply continues on what he has been doing and that's all there is to say on the matter. ]

[Have at thee. There's a six foot six and two-hundred-and-fifty pound man dressed in nothing but a pair of pajama pants staring around in a daze after having just woken up. He's shirtless and barefoot, his short black hair mussed. He's removed his communicator and holds it in his hand, not bothering to try it out as he's too distracted by the abrupt change in scenery.]

...Katya?

[There's no way this place is the Danger Room, not after what had happened with its core.]

Professor? Scott? Anyone?
