Good evening, my fellow deviants!

Is there anyone around here easily amused by menial tasks? For some reason, I have a surplus of those.

Naturally, the only compensation would be your own satisfaction. It seems Acumen doesn't believe in offering research budgets.

[Thanks to Rayflo and his 'servant' Buffy has been free from her ball and chain since the first day. She's been taking advantage of it too, exploring and getting the lay of the land. She's found her way to the dojo. If anyone should wander in she's busy working the punching bag over. She pauses, grabs a bottle of water and sits cross legged on the floor to address the rest of the City and take a break]

I guess if they make sure the criminals kick butt they figure we'll police ourselves?

[it's good that Orihime is alive, but she's useless. Lelouch is very aware of the fact that his plans revolved around her being able to repeat what she did the first time Euphemia was in this state. he can't wait. so it's time for a backup plan]


[VOICE / encrypted private to CHIBIUSA]
Chibiusa...? Are you available?


[VOICE / SO VERY OPEN]
Does anyone here play chess? I've found that a game or two really helps to clear the mind. Perhaps a match in the park, if there's anyone willing and interested.

--With apologies to PM and WV. [as it occurs to him belatedly. should've filtered, but he was distracted]


[and he can be found in the park just outside his house, with a custom-made chess set arranged over a board, playing both sides and brooding until he has company]

AHHAHA AND BECAUSE I'M FAIL AND DIDN'T CLARIFY: Izaya messed with the computers in the education center and got them to send an email to everyone's communicators. THANKS MOD D8 ♥]

The things I have learned in Marina: They should include this in those brochures.

One, costume parties. Don't go to them. If you must drag yourself over there, try wearing your own clothes. 'Wearing your own clothes to a costume party, Damon?' I know, I know. Genius.

Two, the quickest way to draw attention to yourself is to talk about vampires. Try it out! Cry wolf if you want to. Just remember, it's a sensitive topic. There's a guy somewhere around here that takes them very seriously. A little too seriously.

Three, you can't walk from one end of the dome to another without meeting a defense patrol member. They're everywhere. Thank you - defense force - for protecting the lives of the crimi- sorry, citizens of Marina. I, for one, commend you. Try not to screw up anytime soon.

[Private to Caroline]

And you can get the extended version of my wonderful advice if you call now. At this number. And when I mean now, I mean now.

( Setting Up )

Umm...G-Good afternoon, everyone. [She brushes some hair behind her ear, then her hands disappear, out of sight.] Waking up here, in Marina, ummm...can be a little confusing and possibly scary, b-but it's all right! We were all new here once, so don't feel like y-you're alone. The Welcoming Committee wants you to know we're here for you and we want you to feel comfortable here--e-even if this isn't where you would choose to be. If you found s-something wrong with your welcome basket, please let us know? We could always use suggestions for improving it, o-or more committee members?

[Oh right, the real point of her announcement.]

So umm...there will be a light lunch and treats at the E-Education Center at five o'clock, if you would like to meet some of your fellow residents? Anyone can come, even if you've been here a long time. I--um, We just want you to feel comfortable and maybe make friends. No one has to be alone here.

{OOC: Feel free to volunteer to finish getting the room ready if you want, or just come to enjoy the food. Mingle, mingle! There is a video thread if you only want to speak to Miranda. Also, any Welcoming Committee members who want to say they helped plan/set up the luncheon, go right ahead!}

[Izaya's a cunning, skeevy motherfucker. His voice reeks audibly of a bash-worthy smirk.]

Ahhhh~. I'm so flattered, I got sent to prison? How unexpected! I blacked out and suddenly woke up outside of Ikebukuro. So creepy~~. Aya, I wonder what I'm gonna doo-oo ♪.

[he ends on a sing-songy tone, fu-fu-fu!]


[OOC FYI: BECAUSE I'M FULL OF FAIL AND I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE ANY RP ACTIVITY TIL TODAY. ORZ. -PUNCHES SELF-]

[strained voice post, filtered from Euphie]

As I'd like to hope I don't need to tell anyone after that post, stay away from Euphemia if you are Japanese! She is a teenage girl with long pink hair, and she's under a spell -- a curse that forces her to attack and kill anyone she knows or believes to be Japanese. She's currently in the shelter and is heading for Sector 4, so if you're in that area, avoid her at all costs! She can and will attack anyone who gets in her way.

I need the defense force to take her into custody immediately, she is a danger to herself and others in this state, but her condition can be fixed! We just need to stop, disarm, and restrain her before she hurts someone, or engages someone who will hurt her.

--Please.

"Welcome Caroline Forbes" - Seriously? You can't make this up with candles and a photo frame. Luxury Soy candles maybe. I have rights. There's nothing in the Constitution that makes it okay to kidnap minors and accuse them of crimes that you have no proof of. I would know - I passed Civics with an A! Hello? Innocent until proven guilty? Keyword: proven - which someone conveniently forgot. Nice going, really. I think you've broken a few laws yourself with this dumb mistake.

[...faltering a little.]

You can't keep me here, okay!? It's totally not fair. God I could - totally go for a bunny right now. People are waiting for me back home! Very important people. So I'd really like it if you could just drop me back in front of my house and not stick me here - under this ocean!
