[He isn't late to the party, he was just... seriously confused. And has been wandering aimlessly around and wondering aloud (though the communicator was off the only time) about where he's ended up. But now he's figured out how to turn it on, so he's decided to use it!]

Wow, this place is so weird. It's a... a prison, right?






I DIDN'T DO IT, OKAY? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!! AREN'T I SUPPOSED TO GET A TRIAL LIKE BEFORE? I'VE GOT BUDS IN HIGH PLACES, Y'KNOW!!

[Guess who has set up shop in the middle of Marina in a convenient location near you? She's just sparkling brightly and possibly staring your way as she waits for customers. There's writing on her magnificent sign, though a portion of it has been scribbled out and rewritten. She's learned that certain tactics don't work so perhaps THIS will help clarify and people will be more liable to come to her as needed. With all of the sudden new arrivals surely there are some that are in need of a healed heart.]

[Jun has managed to fall asleep with his head in Allen's lap. The two boys are camped out at a picnic table at the beach, on the edge of the park. Trying not to wake Jun, Allen has decided to entertain himself with a game of solitaire and the other boy's MP3 player.

[...he has listened to Clear the Area on repeat for the last -- oh -- forty-five minutes, and by now is singing along quietly in a light tenor.]

Please clear the area / When you find your way back down, in one piece / Then I'll just be waiting here, right here...


((ooc: Come give him funny looks. Both Allen and Jun are likely to thread here.))

[The food at the shelter had been getting a little bit boring - and it felt a bit confined after having the whole city of Tokyo to wander. So after a quick glance at the map, the Pizza Shop in Sector five it was. He'd try the Ramen Shop another day. It had been a while since he ate at a restaurant anyways.]

[Needless to say, the dome was a bit... different looking when Fuuma exited than when he entered. The fog, the ... was it really ash falling? Not to mention the annoying hole in the road that made him go the long way back. He probably could have jumped over it, or just teleported, but now he was curious as to what was going on. So walking it was. That was of course when a pack of raptors came charging at him through the mist, with one lunging straight for him. It was surprising, but all it took was putting a hand out in front of him to send it flying back with telepathy, bowling over the other raptors as it went. The angry, shrill noises of the lizards getting back to their feet can probably be heard in the background when he speaks.]

Do monsters commonly attack people here? It wasn't mentioned in the welcome pamphlet.

[He doesn't sound irritated, or worried at all. More amused, in fact. Fuuma finally had a good excuse to see how much of his power he'd gotten back. If anyone else in the sector wanted an easy way back to the shelter, or elsewhere, the raptor being sent flying into a wall and splattering upon impact is a clue who might be able to help.]

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! )

...Acumen? ...Hellooooooo? LET'S MAKE BABI--

--OOOOOOO~ I CAN SEE ALLLLL OF YOU! YOU'S ALL GONNA BE LIKE ANTS!

[Giggle while GIR proceeds to mess about with certain things in his new surroundings, gleefully asking what 'this does' or 'that does' in the process.

GIR eventually decides that he rather likes the dome in nighttime, so for now all you'll be seeing is darkness. But of course breakfast time doesn't have to suffer because of this! There's a gasp because now GIR has some ideas!

Should you be worried? That is entirely up to you.]

DOLPHINS!



((ooc: Ok, guys, today's the day to meet your new Vermin Overlord! First off, you can always refer to this post for a day-to-day schedule of what's happening. This morning Orihime and Ribbons will be given special attention! GIR will be sending robots to Orihime's house to pamper her senseless and give her candy and as for Ribbons, congratulations, you will be sent a huge shipment of tacos with bacon in them.

Comment as you would any other day post and have fun~))

KYAAAAA~!!

[Running at full speed which admittedly isn't all that fast, Kobato can be seen sprinting down one of the many streets of the dome, holding her hat as she goes. Looking frazzled with a red mark on her face from where she slept on the floor after rolling off her futon she closes her eyes and pushes herself to run faster]

It...It's my first day of school and I'm already late! [skdfls ;O;] How did this happen!?

[Gasping for breath she slows to a walk before bending over and leaning on her legs. Just a short pause to breathe.]

[OOC: Guess who stayed up too late last night? Also, she's probably running in the wrong direction, all worked up from being late. Feel free to stop or correct her! She can be running or paused. ♥]

[You know what time it is? SUKIYAKI TIME.

By which we mean, the video clicks on to the sizzle of a sukiyaki pot, and a very cranky Kiyokazu who doesn't like letting other people cook for him. Even robots. Trouble is, it's too much for one person.]

Oi, Kobato. Get over here, and bring that growly-voiced friend, or whatever. There's too much.

[There's a long, long pause.]

Those twins from before. And anyone, too. There's a lot; don't let it get wasted.

[He's not apologizing! He just hates wasting food. :T Ingredients cost money.]

[Entering the library, Hei paused, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dim light within. He was there for some reading material, since his talk with Tear a few nights ago had 'impressed Li' with the need to stay indoors at night. With little to currently interest him outside the astronomy section, Hei stepped inside.]

((One of these days, Hei/Li will actually use the network. Really! He'll be browsing books if you want to interrupt him otherwise he might think you're interesting enough to interrupt instead ♥))

[Kiyokazu is at the dolphin observation deck in Sector 4. He does not look pleased as he turns on the video.]

A prison...underneath the ocean. What kind of joke is this? Tch, what a lousy sense of humor.

Besides which...incarcerating people without trial for a crime they might someday commit sounds like the plot of a bad sci-fi novel. There's no court of law in the world who'd uphold such nonsense.

[Really, really not pleased.]

[Jun had gone to the library to find those books he'd asked Acumen to add.

Unfortunately, because he'd gotten up early and then hadn't sleep much after he'd woken up in the middle of the night, his slogging through arcane tomes has now become napping on arcane tomes.

Someone may want to wake him up before his MP3 player runs out of batteries. Or just wonder how he can sleep with the volume up that high.]

[The video feed comes on and you can see Kitty. There's blood splashed on her face. It's not hers. If you are nearby you might see her walking directly over a gaping hole in the ground. It's not that she doesn't see it, but this is where air walking comes in handy.]

I have a suggestion for everyone. STAY INSIDE. Consider that your public service announcement in case you hadn't already figured it out.

( OOC: Cut for mild violence in which Kitty takes out several raptors quickly, but don't worry, there are more! )

(OOC: To the best of my understanding you'll just see her slashing around on video. You can't see the monsters unless you're there and you have some level of darkness. You can see the blood!)

[She's at the convenience store looking around for something and humming to herself. It's hot today, but at least inside it's nice and cool! Plus, this place is her natural habitat! You can find just about anything at a convenience store, and learn just about anything too! Somehow though she can't seem to find what she's looking for.

But but! The day really is hot. She wants to prove that she hasn't lost her touch, and knows just what to do on hot days, and make herself incredibly useful! Surely today if she starts out on the right foot, Ioryogi-san will be proud of her. So she needs to try her very best! That's why she's just going to turn on her communicator, gather everyone's attention, and ask a very important question!]

Excuse me! _{I don't mean to bother anyone but...}

Does anyone know where I can get some nice cold Beer-san?

[Feels good to be out of the hospital again, and he gets to give Lavi and Jun an ~*~experience~*~, so Allen is in a good mood. He brings literally a cart of food out to the park, along with a blanket, and plates and cutlery for those who need those things. He pauses as he catches sight of the giant flowering tree, and marvels at it a little. What a beautiful tree-- When did this get here? He doesn't remember it...

[Well. He'll spread the blanket and set up for when the others get here. He feels confident Ammy will find them.]


((ooc: so Allen is just going to post a new action log every other day forever, guys. uh, EVENT STYLE LOG, so everyone can chat with everyone and we don't have to wait turns. people can come up and pester them at their picnic if you want! but don't expect Allen or Ammy to sacrifice food for all of you :| ))

[Just a little past midnight, the sky in Sector 1 explodes, a roiling sphere of black and red flame billowing out in eerie rings, crackling with dark electricity. The thunderous sound and the shaking of the ground can be noted all over the dome. Several buildings near the graveyard crack or outright crumble under the pressure of the explosion, but it buffets the dome walls to no effect. The flare of fire fades after a few long seconds, and leaves behind only still silence.

[The graveyard is in ruins, and the nearby buildings are not in much better shape. There are small scattered fires, and debris everywhere.

[Allen Walker is lying on the ground here, clothing torn and skin bloodied. He is unconscious. No one else is around...]


((ooc: This is OPEN. Comment here to arrive on the scene and thread amongst yourselves. Allen will not be directly responding to anyone who doesn't actually attack him, and he may in fact NOT still be there when you arrive, so please focus on each other, NOT on him. More combat may break out, so be warned that the situation may change rapidly if you tag.))

[Against a tree in the park of Sector 4, there sat a small little girl all alone. A pure white dress and ribbon under a large purple fur-lined coat, she is just watching the people past by.]

[In truth, Barry is thinking. His beloved and beloved's beloved is here with him, however, how to pry Addy away from Charles. If one disappears, things would have gone splendid for him. If Addy was the one left, then he'll find a way to keep him. Chains, rope, even barbed wire in order to keep him still. Though, screams are a melody to him.]

[However, Acumen and the robots were a problem. If they were powered off, then he could do it all before they turn back on. But, no time to rush things. Time is an essence. Therefore, he will continue to sit and watch, study before actions.]

[ooc: Loli mode time! Barry is just going to be running around as a cute little girl for a day and maybe the next day. No harm intended, just to mess with people's minds for now. /andplanningsomethingwithhimactually]

Hello...

Uhm, Miwako isn't really sure what to say to all of this. It's a lot to take in all at once. But I guess the first thing to say would be to thank the welcoming committee for the lovely basket~! That's so thoughtful! It's adorable!

Miwako was never aware that what she was doing was a crime, you know! I wonder why it is. Will Arashi be coming here, too, then? Since he's a criminal along with Miwako...

Oh, but that means so is Caroline.

And if Caroline's a criminal, that means George is a criminal, too! Oh-- that would mean George is a criminal mastermind, probably! Especially because he's bisexual - maybe a super villain? But George is a gentleman, so he could never really be a criminal - that's not proper!

And George and Isabella are so close, and Isabella is a proper lady, so he could never be a criminal, either; and Caroline and George were both honors students, so that would be like saying Hiro was a criminal, too, since Hiro and Caroline went to the same school, but Hiro definitely isn't. He might still be a virgin, though; I'm not sure.

I think, then, because of all of this, that Miwako's real crime was speeding! That would make more sense. They could have just given me a ticket instead, though... Even if this is a very nice prison that even gives you welcome baskets with scented hand lotion, Miwako doesn't really want to go to jail. Especially not on another planet. But maybe if this is the Glitter Planet...--

In any case, my name is Sakurada Miwako~! It's nice to meet all of you! Miwako is already done crying, since it says in the brochure that we can't get out, so we might as well just make friends while we're here. I think that Arashi will be really mad at the replacement Miwako, though. Poor Ara...

[Anyone outside may notice an Ammy in the gardens, digging away at the ground. After a moment, she places the Guardian Tree Sapling she requested from Acumen into the hole and covers the bottom of it up a little. Then she backs up and sits to watch.

Happen to watch the tree as well and you'll quickly notice that you can actually see the tree getting taller. It's growing that fast.

Ammy huffs contentedly and settles to wait. It may take a day or three, but she'll watch over the Sapling all the same]

[Greed cracks open an eye, and spits out a mouthful of rocks and gravel. That damn fool just had to go and pass out! Standing, he shakes his leg and rolls his shoulders, working the kinks out. Except there was a chain wrapped around his ankle and his stomach was rebelling in a fit of hunger. Fuck.]

Shit. Where the hell did that ass of a prince take me?

[looks around and notices that message, explaining everything.]

Aw, damn. I could've made the monsters into my pet! [Smiling a little wolfishly, pissed at the fact dear old daddy boy had to go and interfere just because he got into a pissing match with Wrath, Greed takes a step forward and falls flat on his face. Damn prince and his hunger pangs! Passes out.]

((ooc: Greeling's up for multiple faintings throughout the day just about anywhere in the shelter assuming he can get away from those damn guard bots with a shackle around his leg. He likes his food.))

((ooc: new post given recent events. She's not wearing her communicator, so if anyone was calling for her, they'll have to find her here. And she'll only understand Japanese.))

[Risa is like a wildcat in a cage. She paces in and out of the room she shares with Takami, up and down the hallways, around the kitchen, through the common room - it's driving her utterly crazy being here. Axel told her to get inside, and she's going to follow through with that promise, but gosh! Everyone is sick! It's terrible, not being able to do anything. She's even taken off her communicator so that she won't be tempted to run outside.

Is anyone else trapped in the shelter, unable to do anything? Is anyone else feeling helpless and lost as the entire prison seems to fall apart? She feels so lonely.]
