MarinaNova Asylum

( burn the signs, burn the saints. )

[Rebekah had been out, entertaining herself for the day, when Caroline's broadcast went up. Well, after that conversation she doesn't waste any time going back to the apartment she shares with her brother. In fact, she may have even used her vamp speed to get there sooner, lest he get the chance to see the conversation and prepare for her arrival.

She flings the door open, her rage boiling under surface as she stalks inside. Bad enough that he apparently saves Caroline over her in the future but then he's been lying to her this whole time, playing her like a fool just like he always does. He always lies. He lied about their mother for a thousand years, she shouldn't be surprised. And in a way, she isn't, but that doesn't mean she isn't upset either.

She's downright furious. Tears sting her eyes past her rage and she finally calls out, trying to grab his attention.]

Nik? Come out you rat bastard we need to talk. [And she's already making her way towards his bedroom, not content to wait for him to decide to come out. Not this time, not right now.]

[ Evening, MarinaNova! Ferris Bueller is all up on your network, smiling brightly at you all. Happen to notice where he is? It's the arcade, this time. ]

You know, I'm a pretty strong believer in joy shared being amplified. If you enjoy doing something, you should share that enjoyment; it's infectious, people are happy when they see other people happy - that goes from your happiness, to inspire others' happiness, and then theirs comes right back to you. Therefore if you're having fun, other people will have fun with you, and in turn you'll all be having a better time. It's true for most people, at least, and I'll grant you that it can depend on the activity. But here is a perfect example.

[ And he gestures widely, to the facility's version of DDR, where he and his victim companion, one Xander Harris, are just about to tear it up. ]

I've gotten acquainted with this machine since I wound up here, and I can tell you, from a completely unbiased perspective, it's fun to play, it's fun to watch other people play, and it's definitely most fun when you've got a number of people to trade off those activities. The secret is, you just can't care if you look ridiculous - to that end, I'm completely ready and willing to look ridiculous alongside anyone. Starting with my friend here.

[ And he steps up onto the machine, trusting - perhaps hoping - that Xander will follow. He's getting up there somehow, but it'd be easiest if he just followed Ferris. ]

So you know, you can consider that an invitation.

[ And here Xander speaks up, ]

You're not going to record us doing this, are you?

[ Brows arched, Ferris glances to Xander, then looks back toward the camera and, with one last grin, he mercifully cuts off the feed. ]


[ ooc: open to action at the arcade!!! ]
