MarinaNova Asylum

[ it's lunchtime and elena is inviting herself into damon's apartment like she owns the place. doesn't she? she had a run this morning, did some strength training at the gym, and now she's showered and clean and has been up for hours. she is quite sure damon has not. one quick look around the quiet kitchen and living room areas assures her this much. (unless he pulled an all-nighter at some bar. she's not here to check up on him or that or anything else. nope.)

so she goes searching for his bedroom. of course he's one person living in a huge apartment (because of course he needs all the space) so it takes her longer than it should. she finally does pass a darkened room and halts to peek past the ajar door. she wouldn't be so sure it was his room if not for the huge, undone bed - since when does damon leave anything so messy or not sleep in something so huge? of course there's a stack of books next to him too. so sue her for taking a moment to find and look over him tangled in his sheets. and another moment. great, she's a voyeur now. and - not nervous (no) - just affected. by what, she's not thinking about. she's just going to pull in a breath and walk in - all confidence and stride. she sits on the edge of the bed closest to him and puts down the bag of sandwiches she brought next to his books.

she's just going to look at him some more. no, not gaze romantically, just wait. he's a light sleeper.

no, wait. she can't do that. ] Wake up. I brought lunch.

Good morning, inmates. Today is day [ 179 ] of the first generation. The weather scheduled for today is [ warm with scattered clouds ].

The following inmates have been found guilty of breaking the [ facility rules ]. Full details of their punishment will be transmitted to their devices shortly.

Cain: Hacking.

There are currently [ no ] pending requests.

Have a nice day and good luck with your continued rehabilitation.

(OOC: Kiosk requests will be handled by Conscienti unless otherwise requested! )

[Axel's been spending a lot of time in the library lately, mostly to find something decent to read so that he can pass the time, but today he's broken out some pencils and started to doodle random things on a blank piece of notebook paper.

In the middle of his sketching he picks up one of the pages and flicks on the communicator to show it off. You know, just because?]

Which one strikes fear into your heart? This one? Or this one?

[... Ok, so that second one isn't really that detailed, but you get the idea I'm too lazy to draw that. Anyway, his point is, the latter would be totally more effective at keeping people out of trouble. Or something like that, you know?]

Yo, DF. Or anyone, really. Think our lovely wardens would let my babies come to the dome? You can't tell me they don't look menacingly precious.

[If you wish to talk to him face to face, then he'll be at the library doodling away~]

The thing about friends arriving from different time lines, sometimes information that certain people chose not to share comes up, particularly when that certain someone isn't known for holding her tongue anyway. Cordelia didn't know she was doing anything wrong. She didn't know that she was spilling the beans on something Angel had neglected to be bean-spill-y about, something that could really have used some spillage.

As a result, Buffy is angry and hurt and somehow surprised. Angel knows she cares about Spike. He knows that they had a relationship that ended, but remained a friendship. He has to suspect that Spike and that shiny amulet he brought her is the reason she and the girls survived that battle with the First Evil. He also has to know that Buffy feels responsible for Spike's death in part. Sure, wars have casualties and no one was guaranteed to make it out alive in that battle, but that doesn't mean the deaths of her friends were something she took lightly. Buffy comforted him when he talked a little about the deaths of his friends in his own battle.

Right or wrong, she's feeling like Angel omitted the whole 'hey, Spike's alive' because he's a jealous twelve year old boy. He did show up in Sunnydale, go all Dawson on her and then they had the whole cookie dough speech so maybe he thought that gave him the right to decide things like that for her.

Whatever. It didn't. It's probably pretty clear by the way she storms in his house that she's angry.

"So were you ever going to tell me?"

[The plan was to make chili so Richie figured after lunchtime would be cool. It would be ready in time for dinner then. He is still a bit unsure, but hey, Zatanna invited him so it's all cool. He needs to get out more. He can already hear Virgil's voice in his head calling him an super-brain hermit or something.

He would never live that down if Vee or the girls were around.

So he knocks on the door easily, running a hand through his hair while he waits.]

[the video shows Jane, dressed in a tshirt, jeans, and a flannel shirt, since she's discovered the clothing store. She's glad to get rid of the orange jumpsuit. But her fashion isn't the thing on display today. She's perched on a table, papers strewn around, and a notebook in her lap]

Okay, so I got my notebook. It's the one I had at home, which brings up a few questions, but that's not what this is for, not completely. Reid, you said you wanted to look at some of my research? Oh! Touma Hashiba. When would be a good time to meet to discuss your notes?

[she pauses for a moment, then hurries on, as if something just occurred to her]

Oh! Question. Anyone have tips on living with others of the opposite gender? I've managed to land myself in a frat house, with all the connotations thereof. Back home I only had Darcy, and she was a very good roommate.

[ It's (the MarinaNova equivalent of) 10:30 a.m as the broadcast comes into play, and Kohran is seen holding a straw hat. With a bright smile as always~ ]

Good day, Marina! I hope you're all getting settled from the move and, for those who have recently arrived, I hope you're doing alright.

I'm Kohran Li and I'm glad to announce that the Theater Workshops will be resuming their sessions! For new people, this takes place every odd-numbered day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the Amphitheater in Sector 4. We're looking into putting up a small production, so anyone interested in learning the basics of acting, stage and prop management and costume-making, come and join us!

For those who joined in the old dome, consider yourselves signed up~!

[ She then pops the hat onto her head with a wink~ ]

Don't delay! We're not having a session today but! In the next one*, we will have none other than Ms Sheryl Nome to share what it takes to be a top-class performer! Get in touch with me through the network, or drop by the Ampitheater, I'll be here throughout the day. Have a good one, all!


(( *OOC: "Next session" falls on 4th Wall day when people go crazy, so consider that session postponed for Day 183 |Da Otherwise, this post is to gather IC interest. You can also have your character sign up ooc-ly over at Kohran's journal! ))

Good morning, my fellow inmates! [ one should not be this cheerful so early in the morning, but she somehow manages. ] My name is Quinn Fabray, and I have a proposition for you.

When I was in high school, I had the opportunity to be a part of something that made my teenage years feel a little less like hell. I made friends I wouldn't have otherwise made, and became part of a family that cared for and supported one another through the good times and bad. I wouldn't be who I am today without having been a part of that, and I'd like to give everyone the opportunity to be a part of that here.

After speaking with Euphemia, I'd like to propose a Glee Club. Traditionally, it's a show choir, where you sing and dance competitively, but being in Glee Club is more than that. It's about the freedom of expression and being a part of something that you enjoy, that gives you a reason to get up in the morning. So, if you love music, singing, or dancing - or if you just want to be a part of something, please sign up outside the theater or see me. I welcome and encourage everyone to be a part of Glee Club.

[ there's sign up sheets taped to the amphitheater doors in sector 4. for all your action-y purposes, quinn can be found sitting on the stage, going through sheet music. ]

( ooc → official sign ups HERE! makes it easier to keep track of. ♥ )
