MarinaNova Asylum

[The view from on top that floating island is quite spectacular, don't you think? Not that Tyki's giving a really thorough pan of the sights, but the camera does catch an eyeful before it adjusts on him. Slightly unshaven, glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose and yesterday's shirt still wrinkled as it was. His back is against the free standing door, and he salutes the feed with two fingers, the others wrapped around the neck of a bottle.]

This place toys with you. Day after day. Yet you're all still having fun, making the best of your misery.

Is it denial or distraction? [Mostly rhetoric. He takes a long sip from the bottle, pushing his glasses farther up his nose.] I wonder how many of you have actually embraced reality.

... And if any of you can get up here, you're free to have a drink with me. [He scoffs, since that's highly unlikely and he chose this place for it's inaccessibility.]

( open action; the winery - evening )

[Robin looks very, very serious. As if he's about to give Marina some really bad news.]

The time has come to reveal my biggest, deepest, darkest secret. I just hope you'll still want to be friends with me once you know.

[He takes a deep breath.]

I'm a mathlete. [With mock-drama:] I know, I know! But I can't help what I am.

Just try to resist the urge to shove me into lockers and steal my lunch money.


[Private to Sector 4 team awesome]

[This time, he does look actually somewhat serious.]

I think Robin and Batgirl are gone. I haven't heard from them in awhile.

[ Action ]
[ Arms full, Touma is heading home from the gift shop at the museum back to the apartment he shares with Sasha in the Streamline complexes. One can encounter him on the path from Sector 5, through the middle of the dome, and then into Sector 2.

His haul for the day? Several varieties of multi-player board and card games to fill in the empty hours on days when he doesn't feel like leaving the house (which is rather often). But he looks downright approachable today. Maybe even pleasant. He won't even mind if you stop him for a chat or ask what he's up to. ]


[ Voice ]
Well, that exhibit sure beats the others so far... [ ESPECIALLY the "stimulating" first one. But we don't talk about that. ]

So... who all picked up games at the shop? Saw a few that weren't at the arcade before. [ Touma actually sounds interested about something. Stop the presses! ]
