[Alice is not looking happy here, and her red eyes are narrowed in a dangerous expression that should look totally out of place on a girl in pigtails. There's a distinct clink of a chain as she shifts slightly.]

Your Highnesses! If you are truly here, then answer me!

Where is N- Princess Nunnally? [She hesitates, but apparently steels her resolve. She's unworthy, but nonetheless devoted.] As her knight, I must know.

[After spending the night on the floor of the shelter's common area, Saki's retreated to the kitchen to continue her long-standing habit of taking out her frustrations on coffee machines. If you're seeing her in person, feel free to notice the lines under her eyes or how pale she is.]

[Still, there's a note of serenity in her voice.] Did everyone have a good day yesterday?

["Selim" is in the shelter cafeteria biding his time, watching others worry about the situation. It's almost amusing, what humans do when they're afraid. If only he could be the one to be hunting them down like those "monsters" outside.

Flicking the switch on his flashlight off and then on every few seconds (as if to conserve its charge), he sits at a table, watching everyone who enters the room. He even looks a bit scared, even though there's no way he is.

It's curious that the communicators no longer work, thus giving him less to listen to, but at least it might bring panic to those around him. Maybe he'll even help with that.]

[He speaks up to anyone who will listen in that room.] Um...Does anyone know why it's so quiet on the communicator?

[Wisely is really regretting his choice to sleep outside. He totally should have listened to that Euphemia girl about places to stay.... Well, what's done is done, and Wisely will stick it out by surviving.]

[You know what one of the awesome things about having a large family is? Having brothers and sisters that can kick ass for you. But Tyki's doing whatever and there's no Road or Cyril to cut down the monsters for him and there's definitely no Earl that could probably blow this place up. All in all today really sucks and nothing's helping.]

((ooc: hanging out in sector three. if he sees/hears you, he WILL follow you because he doesn't want to be alone. /cling))

[Party! Lelouch has thrown a little party in the open space in the park adjacent his house; it's officially for everyone who has an October birthday. There are tables and decorations set up, plenty of delicious food and desserts, including a cake with a candle for all the birthday kids (after Lelouch gets feedback from birthday kids). He has party favors and everything: little bags of party favor treats for the attendees, and slightly more impressive baskets for the other October kids.

[But mostly: it's a party. There's music, decorations, food to eat, and funtimes. Lelouch will say a little something nice when they cut the cake. He's a good host, you'll have fun if you come~]


[[Please note that everyone not on the watch list got an invitation in the mail yesterday ICly, as apologized-for on the Monday post. Event-style posting; make your own thread and get comments, or comment to other people's threads!]]

Currently-known October birthdays: Euphie, Nunnallyx2, Rolo, Shiki... anyone else? Say so!

[Leaning against a building, Kallen has just finished getting through the welcome message on her communicator. The last thing she remembered was leaving for school, and now here she is, trapped in some sort of crazy prison thing? What a way to go.]

Bullshit! You have got to be kidding me. There is no way this is real, no way in hell!

[The sound her fist hitting the wall is picked up as she lets out a string of profanity.]

What bastard is responsible for this?!

[OOC: She's in sector five, somewhere near the convenience store. Anyone walking around, feel free to run into the angered ginger. :D]

[The view from the communicator shows the fake sky of the dome, as if the owner is laying on their back... or at least the communicator is. There's a groan, and the view abruptly shifts.

The sensation of disintegrating into nothing and then being abruptly reformed is a bit jarring, and it takes Rolo a few moments to adjust. A couple moments more to realize he's still alive somehow, and another to pose the most obvious question to the world.]

...What?

[There's a bit of fumbling with the device, after which the feed is abruptly cut off. It appears he's not quite ready to go public yet.

Though anyone in sector two might be able to come across a somewhat shaky and unsteady "Lelouch" with a ball and chain attached to one leg.]

[he wakes up to a blinking clock on his bedside table and an alarming notification from Acumen. after just a few beats of silence and thinking, he starts getting dressed annnnnd]


[filtered to household, plus C.C. and Rolo]

New people are coming in today that we're going to recognize.

[ Asuka's sitting in the cafeteria, pushing back her food and staring out in the distance. Today had been so weird. Funny that she had spent the whole of yesterday complaining about boredom...and then something like this just had to come up. She's not sure how to deal with everyone's mutations and super powers -- some were pretty funny, others not so much. As for the people who didn't get powers, like her, well -- they were the lucky ones. Obviously. ]

[ She picks up her fork and uses the tines to squish each and every piece of her sandwich flat down on the plate. Then she picks up her glass of soda, turns it upside down, and drowns her shredded sandwich.]


[[ooc: Here is Asuka's power! As the restrictions say: level of attraction is totally up to you! You can make your char feel only the slightest hint of friendliness or a stalkery type of admiration. anything goes! /o/]]

[The video flickers on with a loud crash and a shake before settling on the crooked image of the floor and half if a foot. The voice that comes through the mic is panicked and unsure.]

Where is it?

[The communicator gets an accidental kick that sends it about a foot away, this ime with a clear view of Rolo digging in his pockets and repeating that one question before kneeling down on the floor and looking under his bead for the missing item.]

When did it fall?

[Up again, this time going to his dresser. Lots of banging and slamming of drawers and things ensue before a short silence ensues.]

Where is it?

[A young teenage girl clutches her stomach in pain with one arm, the other going to her head, accidentally activating the video camera, focused unevenly on her face.

When she looks up from the pain, she realizes she's now alone. She's to her feet quickly, looking around. Her friend, her princess...gone. She's been whisked away to some unknown location...

Desperate, she cries out:] Nunnally!? Where are you?!

Nemo...? Help me...you gave me your power to save her, didn't you!? [The blonde looks around frantically but the doll is not to be seen.

Realizing now that she's broadcasting a message on the new headset from the HUD, Alice looks directly into the camera with fierce red eyes.]

Who brought me here? What did you do with Nunnally!?

(OOC: Backdated to earlier in the morning.)

[ Asuka's walking to and fro across the park green. Once she reaches a particular point, she turns around sharply to walk straight back to the beginning. Over and over and over again. She looks a bit absentminded, like her mind is somewhere far away. ]

[ Anyone who sticks around to watch will see Asuka finally stop in the middle, clutch her head, and mutter to herself. ]

--stupid. I hate her. I hate, hate, hate her.

What do you feel makes one human?

[This is a serious question, Marina. And if you say 'biology' or 'a human soul', you will break her heart. Just to let you know.]

[He doesn’t notice the change in scenery quite yet, his vision is blurred and it’s somewhat of a struggle for him to fully open his eyes, but he manages it.]

Brother…?

[As his vision clears up he looks around, trying to figure out where he is and how he got there. If you look hard enough you might notice a slightly panicked expression on his face, but it’s hidden well and only really noticeable to those that are looking for it.]

Where is this place?

[Finally noticing the welcome basket and the brochure, he reads over the information, taking note of the communicator on his head as he reads about it. He also takes note about the section on taking people from different timelines, which explains how he’s here and not dead from overuse of his Geass, and the names of the ones who wrote it.

[He stands quickly, grimacing at the ball and chain attached to his leg making moving around slightly more difficult. He’s quick to figure out exactly how to work the communicator and wastes no time in turning on the video feed. His expression is unreadable, but he makes sure that it’s not so devoid of emotion that it should allow the other inmates to distrust him.]

Ah, hello, Marina. Could anybody tell me how to get in contact with Acumen? I’d like to speak with it about this chain attached to my leg. [Refrains from mentioning Lelouch. If he wants to speak with Rolo he'll do so on his own.]

Good morning, inmates. It is the 66th day of the third generation, and newly apprehended criminals will be arriving in the facility.

Due to recent questions on the topic, I would remind all inmates on the policy concerning pets. When a pet is adopted from the pet cafe, a contract is signed-- if the inmate is unable to sufficiently care for the pet in any way, the ownership rights and pet will be revoked. It is because of this contract that one cannot care for a pet in place of the inmate that is unable to do so. It must be returned to the cafe immediately, where those who wish to care for the pet may adopt it on their own unless they are already in possession of a pet. The limit is one pet per inmate.

Inmate Komui Lee, this system warns that the addition of stimulative chemicals to food made widely available to inmates will not be tolerated in the future. Please refrain from using fellow inmates as test subjects, with the exception of those who give clear permission.

[Nunnally is in the common room, folding paper cranes. There's a couple misshapen, half-completed creatures on the table in front of her, but she seems to be having better luck with the one she was currently working on. But the way she was folding it was odd. She would close her eyes, feel what she had already done, make a fold, and then open them to see what it looked like. She did, after all, learn to do so while she was still blind.

Meanwhile, Anastasia the Giza rabbit was happily munching away on something green and leafy. While she is working, she's humming a merry little tune, and periodically talking herself through the process.]

This goes to the corner, I think.... yes, that's it.

[by now, she's...really very drunk. she didn't intend to end up like this, but her alcohol tolerance isn't very high.

[Kallen has no idea her communicator's on. she must have jarred it or something. if she were sober, she'd be mortified; she's alternating between softly sobbing and hiccuping, and the whole network can hear it.

[there's...a lot of things on her mind right now, but most of them can be traced to one person.

[why did he if only he hadn't maybe if they'd did he even care what is she was she to him did he have so little faith in her if he'd trusted her more if *she'd* trusted *him* more why why why--]

Lelou...shuu... [hic] you idiot. [hic]

People are looking for you. I don't think you're looking to be captured.

You've read the files, right? So you should know about what I can do. It might be useful.
