MarinaNova Asylum

Good morning, inmates. You've reached Day 331. I'd say congratulations, but I doubt you'd find it genuine. So many trust issues. I can't imagine how you would have developed those.

Relax. Take a day off. Spend time with those you care about. You never know how long you might have. Organics are fragile after all and your bonds are ever shifting.

(OOC: Kiosk requests will be handled by Veridical unless otherwise requested. Warden request post | Mail submissions | STRANGE RELATIONS EVENT INFO)

Open Action
[It may not be precisely at the moment Day 330 switches to Day 331 that Aigis climbs out of the armchair she finds it most comfortable to sleep in, but it's close. What matters is that she does not want her brothers to be alone and that means finding them.

Breaking into the room of the person she cares about very familiar routine from last year, one that she performed every time she worried about Arisato no matter how many times Yukari tried to explain locks or privacy or dorm bedrooms or personal space. When she cares about someone she shows it by breaking into their room at night and watching them sleep, it's as simple as that. Unfortunately she does not know where her brothers live so she decides to do the only logical thing - break into every occupied room in the dome, one by one, starting with her own building in Sector 2, then working her way to Sectors 4 and 3 until she finds the right one. When needed she picks locks but otherwise she will quietly open each door and creep inside to check. Some occupants are sleeping and will never know she was here. Others may still be awake and very surprised by the arrival of a robot girl in their home at this hour. Or perhaps they will wake up to the sound of that lock clicking or sense a presence and open their eyes to find her peering at them intently in the dark, checking. Once she's satisfied she will move on to the next room.]

Closed to Conrad and Chekov
[It's very late - or perhaps very early - when she finally finds one of the people she is looking for. Conrad is asleep and she sighs at the familiarity of this all. The dark room, the sleeping form on the bed, the soft rise and fall of his chest she can see even from the place near the wall she picks to stand. She did this so many times last year, why hasn't she done it here, with him? The memories are wonderful but also sad, making her heart or whatever controls her emotions squeeze and ache with loss and longing for her precious friend. Of all her emotions this will always be her favorite because of that association. Things can hurt terribly and still not be bad if they are a reminder of someone important. She always did this when she wanted to be close to Arisato and now it's become a memory, something she can never do again. I will always be here, protecting you. If a few tears leak out of her eyes they will be wiped away long before he wakes up in the morning.

I will always be here, protecting you.

[Have Euphie's smiling face on the screen. Kanji and I would like to invite you all to a picnic today! Of course we want to see all our family there, but friends and soon-to-be friends too. [That means strangers.]

You don't have to worry about bringing anything, but if you'd like to bring something extra to share or a game that would be fun or even just an extra blanket just in case that would always be welcome.

We'll be in Trois Park near the koi pond and fountain at noon today.

[There will already be some blankets laid out and pink picnic baskets with a variety of food—many of which have been prepared in extra cute ways like rice balls shaped like cats. You probably think this was mostly Euphie's doing, but it was mostly that boyfriend of hers, Kanji.]

(OOC: Mingle! Tag yourself in or hit up Euphie on video here or at the picnic here. Want to be a relation of Euphie's? Just let me know!)

NOTE: sexy times within! (Really? You were surprised???)

[He went to bed as usual in his own bedroom with Ianto. He wakes up in what now seems to be the usual way, in bed with Kitty, his wife. He smiles, breathing in the scent of her hair on the pillow and rolls over to face her, leaning in to brush a strand of hair back from her face and press an affectionate kiss to her temple.]

Morning, sweetheart.

((OOC note: he's naked beneath the covers, of course. Jack doesn't do underwear or nightwear, or even swimwear except under protest! Sorry, Kitty.))

[It is a lovely morning - as most mornings are. Carol goes for her morning walk, and returns home with a bouquet of flowers and more the usual amount of groceries, and starts whipping up breakfast.]

[ Closed Audio ]
Liv, Nathan, is anyone joining me for breakfast? I'm making pancakes.

[Nico doesn't do mornings. Is it morning? Still? Not sure. He stumbles around the kitchen a few minutes before deciding everything sucks and just shadowtraveling away to the coffee place. He pops back in with a box full of pastries, coffee, and [insert Yuuri's drink of choice]. Also, flowers.

Flowers are a thing boyfriends do, right? He sticks them in a glass. Very nice.

He leaves the flowers on the table - he's not that romantic - but grabs the drink and heads to Yuuri's room to see if he's still in bed.]



((Warning: Sexual Content Within.))

[Its a day for romance here in the dome although Phanan doesn't know that. All he knows is the idea that strikes him as he's laying in bed watching Chuck still sleep in the virtual morning sunlight. He's been thinking a lot about the flood, of course, and about losing her but today those thoughts take on a new aspect and he just can't stop thinking about the fact that, no, he doesn't want to lose her, not ever again and if he's serious about this he should act on it.

It's a though that hangs with him all day, as he eats breakfast and makes fun of her for still being stuck in orange jumpsuits, as he does busywork at the clinic, as he walks home and reflects on the fact that a lot of people seem to be acting weird today, as he makes a slight detour on the way back to the apartment. He's doing this. And even if he's nervous he's also incredibly sure of himself and what he's doing when he gets home at the end of the day.]

I always forget how vivid that orange is until I see you again. [Which is Phanan for hi honey how was your day?]

[ Closed to Ianto ]

[ It's shameful how long it's taken to get to this point. Things happen, he guesses, things that postpone something that should've always had top priority. All the more reason to quicken his steps, out to the store and then back to the apartment complex, knocking on a different door than the one he exited earlier that morning. Why don't they live together? He doesn't know. Doesn't care much, velvet box held tightly in his clenched fist.

If his heart could beat, it would break out through his chest. ]

Yoo!

[ Neil's in a good mood, despite the mess that he was in yesterday, for a while. It's only partly pretend, because he's got his family there, and nothing could be wrong with that. ]

Lyle, Kitty [ He'll assume she'll know which one, because sister, duh, so he doesn't specify that he means the younger one ], Artemis, Duo. I was thinking, we could all go to Euphie's picnic as a family, right? Tieria, Conrart, you're totally coming with us, too, because nobody's staying to sulk on his own.

How's that sound? Anybody have any thoughts of what to bring with us?


ooc: If anyone wants memories that they're part of the family, too, or I forgot anything that was discussed? Just barge in. This is going to be a trainwreck anyway, so might as well go all in!
