Criminals, I regret that there must be something of this nature, but as some of you are aware, inmate Ryohei Sasagawa has died. A small ceremony will be held for him shortly in Sector 4. You are encouraged to attend if you are so inclined.

Those of you who are still restrained can request escort to the memorial by a remote unit.


[feel free to socialize amongst yourselves. a remote unit will say a short, non-denomenational memorial about ryohei, and some nice instrumental music is playing from somewhere. ryohei's body is not present, but the remote unit is carrying a small tasteful urn]

[Effective immediately, filters don't work.

If your character has the ability to create hacked transmissions via a computer, those still work. Of course, those characters are still imprisoned~ ♥ But through the headsets? Nope. It'll seem like it works on your end. You won't notice anything different.

Until everyone hears what you just said.

HAVE FUN!]

Someone has to promote a little... community integration. ♥

[he's very, very angry, and his leg hurts, but he's been listening instead of reacting, and he's pretty sure the fastest way to prolong the problem is to vent. he'll take care of the AI in his own time.]

[nunnally is safe. everyone is safe. most of his preparations were overcautious (but you can never be overcautious). and this might be an opportunity.]

[lelouch stands patiently in line at the cafeteria for his irritatingly generic breakfast, gaze searching over the sea of heads. he recognizes almost everyone here, from photos if not from personal association. he catches suzaku's eye and nods him over, and then keeps looking.]

[this might be an opportunity.]

[Conrad opens his eyes to a pile of rubble inside a room with no ceiling. There's a painful welt on the crown of his head -- that strange robot who kept calling him Wesley hit him with that platter --]

[It all came back in a rush: the rumble of the storm, the sound of wood snapping and the roar of the wind, realizing that Yuuri was using his magic. Conrad tried his best to get away, to get to Yuuri, but the tuxedo-wearing robot's reflexes were faster. By the looks of the shelter, Yuuri had expended quite a bit of power.]

Yuuri? [His voice is tense, but even. Please, answer.]

Hi everyone! Sorry to interrupt anything you might be doing, but I was wondering if everyone could just look around and see if there is a Conrad near them and then have him call me?

Oh, and if you can hear this, Conrad, just let me know!

THANKS!

[Conrad wakes up to a very twitchy-looking robot, wearing a tuxedo, shaking him.]

Westley? Westley?

I'm going to give you a choice.

[There is a Carmen Sandiego in Rolo's room. Not for long, though. There's a bright flash of light, and then she's gone. It was very frustrating, waiting for them. She really had thought that Lelouch would have gotten here faster. Still, even if she had henchmen, she wanted a good look at the two.]

[She'd been sitting on the bed, and where she was, there are a bunch of photographs. They all look like they've been poorly exposed, horribly blurry. It's nearly impossible to tell what they're of.]

[But there are words pasted to the photographs, clipped from various books and pasted together.]

[Sometimes, I forget.]

[A memorial to what we've lost.]

[I don't mind it, really.]

[In the end, I'll place it.]

[Because losing you, isn't something I can bear.]

(( Backdated to after Lulu and Suzu finish with the clock tower. ))

[A very strange looking person is standing in the middle of sector three, looking disgruntled as new arrivals tend to do. He's examining the communicator, pressing various buttons before activity the feature that posts on the network.]

Alright, so who's going to explain to me just what the hell's going on here? Where am I and why the hell is this place such a freakin' dump? You know what? Someone just point me to the guy in charge down here. I wanna have a few words with 'em about some of these crimes I'm being charged for, the pirate thing is bullshit. ...Heh. Though I gotta say, you have me pegged down for the rest of em.

Good morning, criminals! Thus dawns the twenty-second day of the third generation.

Inmate Dahlia Hawthorne has exppressed interest in the rehabilitation standards. For those of you interested in rehabilitation, guidelines and methods of evaluation are available. Some inmates have already reasonably progressed in this fashion!

It is, of course, perfectly acceptable for you to go on without rehabilitation. It is strictly for your own benefit, after all.

So, I've noticed that when I got here most people would call Senti "it," but now lots of people say "he," but almost no one says "she." I wonder why that is... Anyway! I thought I'd take a survey to see what is the most popular.

Senti, you can play too!

Oh, and Senti is what I call Sentience in case you didn't know.

( SENTIENCE POLL HEEEEEERE )

[ At precisely 6:06 PM, there is a reasonable amount of liquor back in the club. ]

[ As well as one very, very groggy Nina Einstein. ]

[ She has been informed by Carmen not to tell anyone what they were up to. And that Carmen will indeed know if Nina talks. And well, Euphemia is very nice leverage, considering. ]

--

[Voice//Heavily Encrypted//Private to Euphemia]

I would be careful with what you say to Lelouch.

I have returned her for now, but if you don't play along, anything could happen.

This is a little strange, Carmen. Not your usual modus operandi at all.


[ //ENCRYPTED// filter to Vash, Conrad, Saix ]

You were willing to help my sister, Euphemia, in searching for Carmen. I'd like to hear it from you, and to know if I can trust you to be on standby.

There may be a complication.


[ //ENCRYPTED// filter to Nunnally, Euphie, Suzaku ]

If she contacts any of you, I trust that you'll let me know immediately. Is there any change in status?

Nunnally, where are you?

Ah... Suzaku? Lelouch? Hey there!

I understand Carmen Sandiego kidnapped a friend of Miss Euphemia's, and I'm sure that makes her a friend of you two as well.

I'd like to help recover this person, if you gentlemen wouldn't mind. I have a bit of a vested interest in Carmen myself.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! ...Or if you guys find anything about Carmen, would you let me know? I'd be happy to do the same.

[It's impossible to tell where Nina is. There are no windows, just some dust lights. The computers Carmen stole have been ripped apart, and there is metal and circuitry lying around, as well as welding materials, when Nina comes to.]

[Carmen is sitting at a wooden table, her face shadowed, going through information on a laptop, looking impatient.]

[Nina's wrists are tied, but not tight. She doesn't want to harm the girl. She needs her, after all.]

[ The audio feed clicks on to a rather confused silence. (Yes, that is possible.) After a few seconds, a quiet, tired voice peeps up. ]

...Euphie?

[ It sounds confused, weary, and apologetic all at once. ]

Euphie, are you there? I don't... I don't really know what happened. But- but I think -

[ What she thinks is irrelevant - her voice is suddenly muffled. There's the small, muted sounds of a tiny struggle - and then silence.

The feed clicks off. ]

That is a bit disorienting...

((ooc: Yes. Joshua is back... But he doesn't remember leaving))

[Various supplies go missing from the processing plant.]

[Three computers go missing.]

[Two books go missing from the library. The Adventures of Tom Sawmill and Pippi Shortstocking.]

[The alcohol shipment is diverted again.]

Oh, Agatha. It really is a pity. And I thought you were of some value.

Good morning, criminals! I hope that you are all recovered from last night's unfortunate incident. This system has made sure to tend to the injuries of those of you who suffered more severe damage and had not received prior treatment from other criminals. It is extremely reassuring to know how you all come together in a crisis.

Anyone missing a pet can rest assured that their animal is safe and can be retrieved at your convenience from the pet cafe in Sector 2.

On another note, this system can now locate criminal Agatha's lifesigns within the dome. She is currently being pursued, but appears to have a prohibited device that is making it difficult for the sentinels to capture her. Therefore now seems like an excellent time to remind everyone that this system would be extremely grateful to any criminal who captures her.

I would also like to speak to inmate Cielo.
