I've never even been away from them this long before.

So tell me, just what the hell am I supposed to do now? [She's supposed to be with her brothers, so they could do what they'd been created for, together. The idea of doing anything else, even after they'd succeeded, had never even occurred to her. Now she's in this dump with nothing to focus on, and she's starting to panic]

I mean, god, what's the fucking point of this place? It should just kill us and get it done with, or not bother at all. This is so pointless and annoying and I hate it. It's so unfair! [Screams out the last part in frustration, then calms down a little. Deep breaths]

Oh yeah. Lacus or Suzaku, right? [or whoever; she doesn't care] I want to join the Defence Force. [they have guns, right? she's sure she'd feel better if she got to shoot a few things]

((ooc: Loitering around Sector 3. Also, juuust a little note: she is this close to snapping, so if [action], there's a fairly good chance of getting a punch in the face if someone says the wrong thing... ♥?))

[The day was nice enough, but Luffy couldn't find a way out of the crazy prison city without food. He walked everywhere he could, but by that afternoon he had already found out that the only cool things around him were the robots--and those guys tasered him too much on his first day for him to enjoy gawking at them anymore.] Man, I'm hungry...

[Stomach rumbling--he raised his head to stare vacantly at a sign down the street. He was in Sector 5--though, he remembered being in another Sector the last time he thought about it. Hunger did crazy things to his mind, but that smell did even more things to it. Rearing his right arm back, Luffy prepared himself for a hard punch to the open air.]

GOMU GOMU NOOOOO--

[Sector 5 rang out with the sound of a limb stretching at high speed as Luffy thrust his arm down a city block to grab the door frame of the pizzeria. Luffy's voice rang out immediately and without hesitation, he speared toward the doorway while calling out his 'attack'.]

ROCKET!

[Pity unto those unfortunate enough to be in the way of the high speed rubber projectile.]

[Action]
[In one of the newcomers' rooms, there comes a scream. Luffy, rolling around in his bed, nursing a few extra burns from the drones' tasers, couldn't get to sleep. His repeated attempts to escape hadn't tired him out until the very end and even if the bed was comfortable at that time, Luffy was completely worn out. Impatience, anger and hunger kept him from a sound sleep fairly easily. He breathed in after a long string of complaints, raised his voice to a whine.]

That food earlier didn't do the trick... I'm definitely hungry now and I don't have Hancock's special lunchboxes... I gotta find who stole them and beat them up!

[His stomach growls and he lurches forward before throwing himself back against the bed, breathing inward--sharp and deep. Those close and those sleeping may be woken up from a sound slumber as Luffy screams.]

[Video]
MMMMMMMEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Ace..

[For anyone that's heard Luffy talk over the network before, they might notice that his voice seems uncharacteristically quiet and troubled. It's for good reason, though, as he's never experienced the feeling of two separate sets of memories trying to make themselves at home in his mind. It's disorienting, knowing that he's familiar with this prison and that he's never been here before.

But that doesn't matter.

He hasn't seen Ace around the prison lately, and normally that wouldn't be a cause for concern; Ace could take care of himself. But now... Luffy's adrenaline is pumping as these new memories flood into his consciousness. What if his brother was still in danger..?]

Oi! Oi, has anyone seen Ace?! I need to find him!!

I’m alive... My wounds--huh, I must have slept a few days.

[He always sleeps to heal himself, after all. It's Zoro magic. There is a pause, some shuffling, and the melodious tinkle of his earrings as he gets up and moves around.]

It’s really dark.. Hm? WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SWORDS?!?!

Shit..!! [Thump – he walked into a side of the clocktower.] Who put the wall there?

[If there was an obstacle that way, of course that means he’ll just turn around and walk--right off the edge.]

UWAAHAHAAA--!! WHERE DID YOU SEND ME, YOU BASTARD!!

[Hear a delightful WHUMP! when the swordsman meets the ground. Zoro is the indestructible cockroach of the One Piece world, and he’s fallen higher distances canonly, so he’s fiiiine. A little woozy and scratched, but that’s not going to keep him from scowling and getting back up. He hasn’t even noticed the communicator (which thankfully is still in one piece haha one piece) on his head.]

What the hell’s goin’ on!

[As soon as he'd heard there was food available, Luffy was THERE. Well. Maybe it took him half an hour to get there, what with all the wrong turns he'd taken, but he was there nonetheless! It didn't matter that he could have gotten food in the shelter just as easily. The teenage pirate is currently pounding down bowl after bowl of ramen at a rate that might make the weak-stomached queasy..]



{ooc: Threadjack each other liberally? :D}

Good morning, criminals! Today we will be experiencing our first light snowfall. You need not expect any accumulation.

However, today we will also be opening our new ramen stand! Enjoy the cool weather and the hot ramen, along with the biggest bowl of ramen -- in the world! This is not a significant feat, as no ramen has ever been made on this world outside of this facility, and all of that ramen has been the same size as a standard bowl, but a sufficiently impressive size has been engineered for the grand opening. In fact, it is large enough that every criminal could have a bowl for every meal today and some would still be going to waste. Which will be regrettable.

I should perhaps assure you all that the ramen store will be completely safe, and no interference with the event will be permitted.

[Hey, if you're paying attention, you miiight just hear someone taking a deeeeeep deep breath over the communicator. But unless you've got quick reflexes and yank your headset off right at that moment, you're probably going to be deafened in one ear, sorry]

OOOOIIII! AAAAACE!!!

[Never mind that his brother is sitting a mere fifteen feet away from him in the same room. Everyone else was yelling for people, right?]

[Having spent the time after the Baseball practice exploring the dome further, 'Vadum found himself once more at the training hall located in sector 6. Surveying the hall once more, the Sangheili warrior brushed a large hand over the selection of training swords. Selecting one of the larger ones available he stepped out onto the floor, giving a thoughtful click of his mandibles as he got a feel for the bamboo sword, different in design to the energy swords he was used to.

Settling himself into a combat stance, he moved skillfully through a series of attacks and stances with the unfamiliar practice weapon, adapting to the differences further with each stance. After a while he allowed himself a pause, examining the weapon for any sign of weakness from his powerful movements, allowing his thoughts to drift now on the happenings of this morning and the previous days.

After a moment of thought he clicks on the communicator]

Are there any here who are able in close combat that may wish to test their skills?

[Ryohei, all decked out in his sharp black suit and tie and hot orange dress shirt, is helping himself to a drink at the bar. A series of drinks, if you want to be technical.

It's about this time that he realizes he hasn't fully tested out the headset he was given, oh-so similar yet different from the one he was used to wearing in his world.]

Hm. Hm. I wonder if it works well.

[Deeeep breath.]

TESTING TO THE EXTREEEEEEME!!!

Can anyone extremely hear me??

[Leaning up against one of the walls in the educational center, 'Vadum pondered on recent events, a book acquired from the facility looking rather small in his large hands as he idly scanned through it.

His thoughts drifting to the fate of those back in his 'time', a shake of his head given lightly as he returned his attention to the book,  'Military tactics']

This bites..

[Even the usually cheerful pirate isn't his happy self today; while being in chains wasn't something new for him, having his fire taken away again was seriously eating at his mind. When had this place figured out about sea stone (which could take away his powers) and why the hell did it suddenly get pissed off and chain everyone up? Clearly, he should start paying better attention to the radiowaves.

Right now, however, he was more concerned with taking care of his younger brother. The idiot might do something stupid(er than normal) with his powers gone as well. He kept a close eye on Luffy up until they were ushered into the showers. Then Ace lost sight of him.]

OOOII! LUFFY!! DON'T PICK UP THE SOAP!!

[Which is why Ace immediately had his hands cupped over his mouth as he shouts his warning through the bathing room. Sorry about your ringing ears, everyone.]

[ The tiny ten-year-old might have been a bit of an introvert, but in such a new place, there was no way he was going to just stay in one spot the whole time. He might prefer to be left alone, but it didn't cancel out his curiosity. So, Ritsuka had wandered from the room in Sector Zero he had awoken in and decided to wander around; explore really. Maybe he would find some books. Preferably of the psychology and philosophy variation?

A medical patch on his cheek, beneath a violet colored eye covered a small abrasion. A little wrist and arm, wounded by the brutal heat of an iron, was swathed securely with gauze and even that was hidden under the sleeve of his attire. Little knuckles wrapped up in various band-aids, and a plethora of bruises and more bandages covered bits of him even under his clothes.

The child had a tendency to turn the other way if he saw someone, or make it a point to walk as far away from them as possible; eyes glued on the floor, kitten ears against his hair, and tail swaying with discontent. He had been through Sector Zero, and slow yet uninterestedly through Sector One, and now, he made his way towards the second. His gaze shifting up uncomfortably from the ground should either human ears or the feline ones catch any noise of another living creature. ]





(OoC: i hope this is okay.. ritsuka really doesn't socialize much, so, um... i thought, this'd be another way to maybe meet some people? if you/your character wants to interact with him, that is? um, -nervouuuswhoa.- if it isn't, i can delete it? .. 'kay. ^^; )

So... just out of curiosity...

Are there any pirates or ninja here?

Because if there are, I can probably die happy.

[a brash sounding female voice clicks on, clearly pretty pissed off about something] --This has gotta be the old man’s fault. Who else would think it’s funny to toss me into a weird place like this? Where the hell’d he get such a dumb idea from in the first place?! Another Chinese guidebook he picked up at the grocery store?! That old man ain’t got a nick of common sense in his damned skull… And splashin’ me with water first thing, too… Talk about a low blow, geez…

OKAY, POP. JOKE’S OVER, YOU’VE HAD YOUR FUN, RIGHT? LEMME OUTTA HERE ALREADY! SINCE WHEN DO PRISONS TEACH YA MARTIAL ARTS TECHNIQUES, ANYWAY?! CAN WE JUST MOVE ON NOW? WE’RE GONNA MISS KASUMI’S DINNER!!
