[Rayflo is currently sitting with a long stemmed rose in his hand. A rose with golden petals. He holds it close to his nose as if smelling it and then pulls it away to look deep into the camera with eyes a similar hue. He has plans for this afternoon. Not he only needs is the right hook.]

The golden apple a gift to thee,
Thy smile a sweet treasure.
To gaze upon it again for free,
A wish I dare not pray for.
One night is all I ask of thee,
To prove myself true in thy eyes.
Become my princess for this eve,
And I your knight beneath the sky.

[He gives a smile that's soft, a flash of bright white teeth, and one didn't know better they would say he was sparkling.]

Fair maiden, an answer of yea or nay is all I seek.

[And to make sure she knows just who he is talking to, he holds up his other hand which holds what should be a familiar-looking golden apple made of porcelain.]

[Anyone who enters the library may walk through the shelves to one of the secluded tables that is covered in a messy pile of papers and notebooks. Amongst the them is a blond head that may be slightly drooling onto a notepad.

Someone hasn't slept in three days and finally crashed.]

( Take a Trip Down the Tunnel~ )

[Voice]

I read in one of the books at the library that "May you live in interesting times" is a curse. Anyone want to guess whose bad side they got on this week?

[Tsukasa looks a little nervous as he turns on his communicator.]

Um... so I made some cookies last night... and I made too many. They're chocolate chip and white chocolate macadamia nut. Does anyone want some?

[Upon entering the classroom you will find Charley seated at the small desk in front of the room. Desks have been arranged in neat rows and on every other desk a copy of the Holy Bible rests on the table top.

The lecture today will be a brief discussion on the origins of the Christian religion and an explanation of their beliefs and important figures. For anyone who already knows the basics of this particular religion may be bored but he's mainly doing this for the people who no nothing about it. The day's assignment is to write a brief paragraph or two on what you hope to gain from this class and what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of religion as a whole.

The assignment is to be completed during class so there's no need to fret about homework or anything. He just wants to know a bit about the views of his students.]



[ooc: All posts are assumed to be set during class unless you write in the header that it's before or after class.]

[The meeting hall of the educational center has been prepared. There is a large, oval table with enough comfortable chairs for everyone in the center of the room. There is also a smaller table ready for food and drink to be served and an open area for the musical performance later.

Euphie hopes this will be an inviting atmosphere for people to share their thoughts on the school.]


(OOC: Event-style commenting. Wait for headers. Memo for reference.)

[The feed clicks on to show Charley looking as serious as ever.]

Good morning. For anyone who doesn't know I am Charley Chrishunds and I will be teaching the class on religion. I'm having a bit of a late start but the first class will be held tomorrow afternoon. I welcome anyone to come.

[He clears his throat.]

Now for the real point of this broadcast. I've been trying to figure out how to best go about teaching religion, but because there are so many different ones I'm asking anyone who may be interested what religion they would like to learn more about. Whether it be one from your world, or one you heard about from someone else. Whatever the case I would appreciate the input. Thank you for your time.

[The feed clicks off.]

[Josak is in Sector 5 today, looking at the empty shops and houses that could be used as a boutique. He's even dressed in one of his more practical designs for the occasion. One should always look their best when out shopping after all. Using a house could make the boutique complicated to decorate, but having a parlor and sitting rooms would be nice. He has a general idea of what he wants and when he finds it, he'll know.]

Oh, Jennifer.~ If you're not too busy today, I would love some help in my search for the perfect shop.

You know, if someone told me that I'd end up in a underwater prison controlled by a dumb robot with a bunch of weird freaks and stupid stuff happening -- I'd call them crazy.

And just look where I am now. I wonder how long it'll take before they have to wrap me up in a straitjacket.

[Private To Naoya]

I need to talk to you.

[Dressed in her school uniform, Kairi seemed to be out and about. Already walking down a street. More than likely set out for the library if anyone knew her well enough. The strap of her bag can be seen as well, cutting firmer into her shoulder than usual. As if to confirm that she might have her work really cut out for her. Despite that, she was addressing anyone who happened to see her with a curious expression.]

There really were a lot of new faces the other day. But I've heard that there were familiar ones, too! Did anyone get a chance to see any friends of theirs? Did you get the chance to have a good time together?

Also, I was thinking of going out, well, "shopping" after school. Would anyone be interested in going? [Because she could still get pretty lost around there. But for some reason, she was really in the mood to go out and just nose around. Blame Selphie's shopping sprees.]

[It could possibly be a familiar sight to find someone sleeping on one of the couches in the shelter common rooms. But this woman happens to resting in a thin, short, silk nightgown. She wakes slowly, reaching up to run her hands through her hair...and finds the communicator.

The video cuts on to someone who looks very familiar to some. But the face is softer and there is no goatee. Tousled dark hair falls into her face as gold eyes stare out with a frown.]

Where's Cheryl?

{OOC: This is Rayfell from Vassalord. Not to be confused with her near identical bastard not-twin, Johnny Rayflo. Still a vampire though and waking up sick and disoriented may make her a bit hungry.}

Cherry.~ [Rayflo looks amused, but there is a little stress there around the eyes.]

I'm bored. We should play a game together. [Translation: I'm hungry and wanting a distraction. Keep me busy.]

We should play hide and seek. It was fun last time, but it's been weeks since then.

[Rayflo's currently stretched out on a thick branch in a tree in the park. Why a tree? Because he can. And because he's trying not to stalk his little girl at school again.]

Do a little daaaaance.

[Suddenly, more demanding,] OBEY. [GIR laughs while he orders some angry bots to escort every single one of you to one of the parks. Fighting back will only result in punishment...and believe him, you don't want to know what GIR has cooked up for you then.

While you walk you may notice that dawn has suddenly become night again, the lighting is still working though it's all very...vibrantly colored and disco-y--maybe a strobe light here and there--and that the once peaceful silence has turned into blaring techno.

GIR starts to sniffle happily.]

Y-you're all so beautiful.



( OOC info under the cut! )

[Day 71: the first day of the Marina Asylum Postal Service! And it is a busy one, much to a parcel mistress' delight. The Peregrine Mendicant can be seen skittering energetically around the dome, with a bag full of letters that she is eager to deliver.]

LETTER RECIPIENTS

• Allen: a letter from Spike.
  
• Fletcher: a letter from the Peregrine Mendicant.
  
• The Peregrine Mendicant: a card from Ribbons.
  
  MASS MAILERS

  • However, PM has been given extra invites to distribute to any nice people she encounters.
  
  PACKAGE RECIPIENTS
  
• Alessa Gillespie, Charley J. Chrishunds, and Johnny Rayflo: packages from a "secret admirer" named Rayflo! If no one was home to receive them, they may either pick them up at the office, or receive them during tomorrow’s route.

--

[Now that her route is complete, she can take a moment at the post office to catch her breath. That light-headed feeling isn't oxygen deprivation due to exercise, it is the THRILLING RUSH OF CIVILIZATION.]

A satisfying first day! Thank you for making this possible, Marina!

[If you do not feel inclined to thread things out and you were not one of the mass-mailer recipients, please respond OOCly or with a brief IC reaction so we all know you've seen it/received it! Mail submissions for Day 72 go here!]

[Alessa has been put to bed--with cuddling and storytime and all the things little girls deserve--and the maids have been returned for the night. It's so quiet now, with all the commotion of the day over.

But Rayflo still has plans. He can't keep letting his son go on feeling neglected, can he? He needs to show Chris that he's just as important as he's always been, even with the new addition.

They're a family after all.

So he waits. Cherry will have to come to bed eventually.]

{OOC: Warning: Contains situations that can be considered sexual. Okay, they may as well be sexual. There will be biting and anyone with a strong nose/sense of smell in the area will probably smell the blood. Closed to only members of the household Alessa, Daddy is only playing with your big brother, promise.}

[If you're in the Education Center this afternoon, you might see a strange sight.]

[Wadded-up balls of paper keep periodically flying towards the large trash can. Were you to look to see where they come from, it should be easy to spot the source.]

[Tsukasa is doodling, and keeps failing at what he's trying to doodle. Obviously this is very frustrating, hence the constant discarding of paper.]

[It's not even noon, and there is some loud noises echoing around the block in the residential area of Sector 4. Not so loud as to bother the entire neighborhood, but enough to cause a disturbance for someone walking by or who is already awake.

These are the sounds of construction. Machines and motors. Someone walking by may see or two women dressed as maids with carry bags of cement, tiles, and tools.]

Make sure the one end is twelve feet deep, girls, four on the other.

[Someone who knows the neighborhood may realize whose house the noise is originating from.

Please feel free to call Rayflo and complain, but you probably won't kill his good mood. He's getting a swimming pool in his backyard after all.]

[After some hours at the clothing store, Rayflo thinks it's time to take Alessa to the house. So he lets her try on another dress while he contacts Cherry. Showing up with a little girl to live with them--no matter how cute she may be--won't go over well.]

[Private to Cherry]

Ah, Cherry~ [a bit of a pause, Rayflo has a smile on his face, but it's obvious he's about to say something Chris may not like]

I was out this morning and I met this adorable little girl. But she was all alone in the cemetery. The cemetery, Cherry. She looked hurt, so I decided to check on her, but she wasn't hurt too badly--but she thinks I didn't notice the bruises and cuts on her wrists and ankles--and she was scared. I calmed her down--I just have that way with kids--and took her to the clothing store so she could get some new clothes because hers were covered in blood.

We picked out some of the cutest dresses and even got her a little bonnet to go with one of them! You'll just have to see everything we got when we get home, but I'll need you to air out one of the guest rooms before we get there, maybe the one right down the hall from our room?

[And yes, somewhere in all that rambling is an important piece of information. Hope you like having a new sister, Cherry.]

*The tall man with the long pale hair and the heavy cloak watches his robotic guards with trepidation. When he isn't making sure his guards are behaving themselves, he walks along, dragging quite the ball and chain, the chain snaking its way into the depths of a cavalier style boot. Castlevania held such fiendish metallic creatures, powered by steam and wielding hidden axes that hacked away at anything in their paths. It made him wish he still had a weapon, any weapon, hanging from his belt.

He holds the communicator in his hand. He hasn't thrown it away, but he's still not sure what to make of such a relic just yet. If you watch him taking in his surroundings, you'll notice his eyes are yellow, like an owl's or a wolf's. He seems human and yet...

Will you approach this silent and wary man?*


(OOC: Alucard has an excellent sense of smell and will be able to tell if you're human or otherwise, FYI.)

[Aidou already has the main dish of beef stroganoff ready while he finishes preparing the glaze for the cinnamon-spiced honey rolls that will be dessert. They shouldn't take too long to cook in the oven, and the garlic bread has already been set to cool on the stove. If he's going to be paying Charley back for finding Akatsuki, he's going to do it right.

When will he get there?]

{OOC: This is open to anyone who lives in the Kuran House, Charley Chrishunds, and Johnny Rayflo who is kind of crashing the party. If you're character has been invited by another character to dinner tonight, let me know! If you want, just reply to the main post that you show up for dinner and proceed to talk to anyone and threadjack as you like! Kind of like an event post.}
