[In one of the computer labs, Feldt's having a little bit of fun. She did tell Duo that she'd make plans for a Haro for him. They were rather simple robots and drawing up a set of plans for them? Easy for her. Feel free to stop by and say hello!]

[For once, he didn't miss the morning announcement. It roused him from his sleep on his second floor patio, sprawled out on the cushioned chair he uses to stargaze in. Looked like someone had give him a blanket, too. How long was he out? 6 hours? 12? It felt like forever, but for the first time in several days he actually felt halfway rested.]

[Lockon sat upright, sighing and looking out over the nearby landscape.] What a day... [Fully dressed, still, he climbed out of the chair with some effort, stretching his tired muscles out before walking through the partially open sliding glass door into his room. A quick look to the bed eased some of his concerns; Lacus still lay there, but she looked far more peaceful than yesterday morning, when the sleep overtook her.

After a moment of checking on her, he made his way carefully downstairs to look in on the two Meisters. Lyle had been taking good care of Setsuna; whether or not the younger man would appreciate that kind of care outside of this dire circumstance was something that troubled Lockon. This morning would bring many troubles, he had a feeling.

But at least, for now, things seemed calm in the living room, so he slipped silently into the kitchen to get some water.]

(( OOC: Action is open to anyone who wants to visit and/or current occupants of Lockon's house, who are (by my last count): Lacus, Lyle, and Setsuna. Also, if you want to use this post for any calls to Lockon - as I'm still not posting at top speed - feel free! <3 ))

[Duo is wandering. His restraint is off, and no threat of murder, sleeping sickness, or anything along those lines is going to keep him still. He's been itching to move for a while now, and he can, so he is. Feel free to find him. He's exploring everywhere he can.]

[OOC: Since it isn't needed for a bunch of people to take one person to the hospital, first come gets it. Also, if someone wants to jump in, just threadjack. It'll be easier than having more than one thread for now. I don't want to get more than four people, though, otherwise posting order gets whacky and it'll take too long to finish. ^_^;]

[Tieria has managed to get out of Neil's house in the confusion, since almost everyone there is affected in some way. Neil and Lacus are also exhibiting symptoms of the sleeping epidemic, Setsuna is injured... and Tieria is feeling a bit like a burden to Lyle now that he has so many to take care of. Determined to not be a burden, he's headed off with the intention of getting back to the apartment.

He doesn't make it before he finally succumbs completely to the exhaustion, passing out half-way back to the apartment.]

[Voice | Open | FROM REI'S COMMUNICATOR]

I require immediate assistance. Tieria Erde-san has collapsed. Anyone who can assist me in transporting him to the hospital, please respond.

[Her voice may sound a little different than usual, but not enough for anyone to pinpoint what's causing it.]

...Ooooooo! [The voice is a bit garbled, and then there's hysterical giggling followed by the video turning on and off and on and off while GIR fiddles with the shiny new trinket on his face. Finally he leaves it on and is clearly pleased with this discovery.]

...I'M ON T.V.! I'M ON T.V.!!

[More giggling and clanking since he's busy running around in a circle and then everything abruptly stops.] Maaaaaster? Master? Oh, Maaaaster. Where'd you go? IT'S TIME TO MAKE BISCUITS! Let's make biscuits~

...[Gasp] THERE'S BABY MONGOOSE! [The video shows various pets outside the pet cafe and immediately GIR runs up to them, not caring about the ball and chain attached to his robo-foot, arms flailing before he decides to snatch a kitten...and store it in his head.] Aw. It likes me.

Ooooh! There are so many big words and numbers that poor little old me just can't understand.

[Whistles anyway~]

For a prison it looks more like a city. Should I be impressed? Maybe I would be if the welcoming party was actually welcoming. Not that I expected it to be. It is prison.Look! I even got my own special little ball and chain. Isn't it precious?~

[Someone has been spending some time with the computers. She's been attempting to get outside of the system. She hasn't been trying that hard, at least, not yet.]

There has to be some way to access other systems....

[She yawns]

Tieria, have you tried getting outside of the system?

[Lockon was waiting at the clothing store, as promised. He had just finished calling both Lacus and Feldt, to make sure they did not have any plans for that time. Today he can introduce the two, which he was excited for, and also they could pick out some new clothes for Feldt, who was never much for shopping.]

[He gave a small yawn, leaning against the outside of the building, near the doorway. Last night's sleep didn't feel as restful, but he just blamed that on his sudden leap back into his exercise routine.]

( Warning: Vampires do bite. )

{OOC: Yeah so...Aidou's starting to be controlled by his instincts, which are telling him that something is wrong with him and he needs to do something to save himself. For a vampire...that means he's wanting blood. Fair warning to anyone who doesn't want the possibility of their character being bitten.

ETA: Okay, so logically, Aidou won't be attacking dozens of people because Zero would stop him. So no more new characters being thrown in here unless you've asked for permission from me. Thanks!}

[loud yawn, some moans and stretching, someone's definitely just waking up]

Hoo... I feel like I slept for days... [He sits up... SHOCK] What the hell? This isn't my -...

Crap. I was supposed to meet Trowa and Quatre... we were gonna destroy the Gundams. [He frowns, grabbing at the communicator now. He activates it, getting the message.] Oh, no way... you're shittin' me, right? Underwater prison? Different world? Oooohh no. You better not have done anything to my Gundam! It's mine to destroy, yanno.

[glares for a moment, and then groans, putting his head in his hand] Hilde's gonna kill me. She hates when I get in trouble... even more if I actually get arrested!

[In the park there are several benches set up almost like pews in a church, white and decorated with flowers at the edges and along the backs. Instead of two sedate columns with rows of benches pointing towards some dais, the benches are in rows facing each other, and in the center of the aisle between them is a long table with a substantive buffet of brunch food: colorful red eggs, fruit salads, muffins and rolls, glazed ham...

[The buffet table is extremely distracting. Allen is dressed in his full black-and-red uniform with a cloak and the Rose Cross worn over it; he keeps glancing at the buffet table as he stands right -- temptingly -- in front of it so that everyone can see him, with occasional glances down at his book to make sure he remembers his lines.]


Thus we give thanks and glory unto you, Father, and glory to the Christos, and glory to the blessed Virgin who bore him...


[He is trying not to rush, but he is mentally censoring out optional parts of the ritual to more quickly get to the eating part.]


((ooc: Event post! Feel free to post a comment here establishing what your character is doing during or after the ceremony, and other people will thread with you, or you can comment to someone else's comment~!))

[The voice that comes over the system is very quiet and hesitant, almost afraid.]

Hello? Is anyone there? My name is Feldt Grace. Can someone tell me what is going on here?

I don't understand what's going on. How could I have been captured? Are the others here too?

Lockon? Setsuna? Allelujah? Miss Sumeragi?

[Feldt is also wandering around the halls as she talks, trying to find out the layout.]
