R R I - REHABILITATION & REINTEGRATION INITIATIVE

Characters: Alice and OPEN

Setting: Laundry Room, around noon

When Alice read the notice that the basement was accessible, she was excited for all of five seconds before she realized there was one minor flaw in her plan to wash her clothes. She only had the one set of clothes, plus the t-shirt Rusty was letting her borrow, and she wasn't willing to go naked until her clothes finished. That realization put a bit of a damper on things, and she had almost decided that she simply wasn't going to head into the basement at all. Still, the idea of not having to wash her clothes in her sink again called to her and eventually she decided that, if nothing else, she would at least wash her two shirts.

Stripping out of the t-shirt she was wearing, she pulled her hoodie on so she wouldn't be indecent and, picking up the two t-shirts, ventured out to the elevator. She hurried passed the bar before finding her way to the laundry room. She heaved a sigh of relief at finding it empty, although it was obvious by the way one of the dryers was going that someone had already been there. Dropping her shirts into a washer, she added the detergent and turned the machine on. With nothing to do but wait, she hopped up onto the washer she was using. Sure, there were chairs, but she had a better view of the door this way. Lazily knocking the heels of her tennis shoes against the washer, she tucked one hand into the pocket of her hoodie, fingers curling around the knife she had stashed there. She knew she was being paranoid, but considering the laundry room was right next to a bar, and there were probably other inmates in there right now getting drunk, she didn't really care.

Characters: Alice

Setting: Garden, then outside Room 34

( But With Plants! )

Characters: Alice
Setting: Block B


After reading the message on her computer, Alice left her room, searching for something she could leave in front of a door. She wasn't terribly interested in a bar - actually, the idea of a bar in a prison sort of scared her - but she didn't want to be the reason other people couldn't use it. The last thing she wanted was to make someone angry like that. And being able to use the laundry room would be very nice. Much better than washing her clothes in the bathroom sink. The problem was, she wasn't sure what to leave. What was appropriate to leave in front of a stranger's door?

Wandering into the greenhouse, she had an idea when she saw the pots there. A plant wouldn't offend anyone, right? Taking one of the pots, she grabbed a small hand shovel and went outside to the garden. She felt a little bad taking something from the garden, but there was quite a bit there. Wandering over to the herbs, she found a small, but healthy looking mint plant. It was kind of pretty, she thought, and at least it would smell good. Carefully digging it up and replanting it in the pot, she added more dirt, making sure the little plant would be okay in its new pot before picking it up and looking around.

She had met a couple of people now, but she didn't know where any of them lived. And maybe it was supposed to be random. Finding a door that didn't have anything in front of it yet, she set the mint plant in front of Room 34 before scurrying away to the kitchen. She would see about adding some seeds to make up for the plant she took later.

Characters: Hunter and Alice
Setting: Block B kitchen

Last time he'd been in there getting something to eat it hadn't worked out well, but he was hoping that this time there'd at least be no one around, or maybe someone worth talking to. Either way, he had gotten his soup made, and was sitting down to quietly eat it.
