Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

	[ elena's long left the rations line in favor of seeking out everyone she knows. food and drink really has no priority over that. she spots sam by the kiosk and approaches him - more like bee-lines. relief washes over her, and concern - and she feels a little better knowing that at least maybe they can figure this out together. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elena! [Do you hear that massive flood of relief in his voice? Do you? Also, were you expecting him to go into an immediate hug? Because he wasn't and yet, look at this! Hugged by a moose!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sam. [ her voice is lower, his name spoken on a grateful sigh, but the relief is abundant. she wasn't exactly going in for a hug either, yet the moment she's close enough, she reaches for him.

she clings to his shoulders, closes her eyes for a blissful moment. she doesn't feel alone. ] Hey. [ it's concern that hasn't her pulling back some, one of her hands squeezing his shoulder as her feet hit the ground. ] You okay?

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. [He should pull back.] I'm just glad you're safe. [In just a second.] Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ it takes her a moment (she's said she's fine all morning, but the truth is slightly more complicated - nothing's ever really fine and definitely not here - but she'll be fine) before she nods decisively, reassuringly. plays with his collar with her fingers for a short moment. ] I'm glad you're safe too.

[ there's a pause; elena's eyes dart behind sam, to the kiosk. ] Have you talked to the wardens?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 01:23 am UTC (link)
	[Sorry, there was collar playing and his brain shut off for a second. It's on again and he even manages to do some of that pulling away so there can be more looking at each other and talking like two separate people and not one giant Samlena monster.] Yes. Savvy anyway. This one was even less helpful than the ones we normally have. I wasn't able to find out much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ right. pulling away. no more collar-playing or smoothing. elena's hands linger at his shoulders and move down his arms instead before eventually dropping completely. they even make enough space for elena's perked brow at the name 'savvy.' she wasn't exactly too concerned with the warden's eccentric name this morning, even though she was listening as well as she could, having been woken by it. it comes back to her now. ]

Great. Something tells me this place is a little less comfortable than the last one. [ no more cushy prison-living. ]

	I picked up on that too. [Not mocking her, just acting in on the joke. In as much as any of this is a joke.] Complete with bunkbeds and communal showers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-05-28 02:20 am UTC (link)
	[ communal showers. right. does elena's gaze linger on sam a split second longer than natural? she manages nodding and tucks some hair behind her ear. ] I just wonder how long we'll be here. [ and what'll happen, how they'll be treated and end up treating each other. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Not long. [He hopes.] I wonder how many of these places there are. [And if Dean isn't "lost in the dimensional stabilizer" but actually in another prison. Really, the whole thing has his mind spinning with questions and very few answers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-05-28 03:29 am UTC (link)
	[ she hopes too. she hopes ric and jenna are okay, that they're not lost in some dimensional stabilizer, that if they're at a prison they're not at one like this or worse. it's just as possible they're not. she hopes they're together. she nods. ] Maybe this is our chance to start figuring that out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 06:20 am UTC (link)
	That's what I was thinking. I didn't get anywhere asking questions, but there's supposed to be another warden. I haven't found a library or a hall of answers here yet, but that doesn't mean there aren't clues.

[ she nods, even though questioning the other warden will probably be futile. all of this might be. still. ] Is there a map? [ there was always one downloaded of marinanova on their communicators. now she takes hers out to adjust over her ear. ] Otherwise there doesn't seem to be anywhere to start. We could just explore. [ ofc, either or is irresistible to elena. ]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	There is. If you hit the map button things are different now, but there's not much on it. I'm up for seeing it for myself though. I'm guessing if I suggested I scout it out first while you stay somewhere safer you'd ignore me, right? [He's not sure anywhere counts as "somewhere safe" anyway, so he's not that worried about it this time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she's pressing the 'map' button as he gives her the answer, and she takes those few seconds the scan over it. it's not much, and nothing exactly promising. then again, they wouldn't put it on a map.

he gets a look for his hypothetical suggestion. the answer is yes, you would be ignored, sam. which is why she's instead wrapping her fingers around his wrist and tugging him along from the mess area towards the exercise/recreation yard. ] I want to see outside. [ her fingers drop a little lower to twine with his. ]

[Nothing marked exit, that's for sure.] So do I. [Are they holding hands? They seem to be holding hands. This is really strange. And nice. Nicely strange? Strangely nice? Dean would be teasing him so much if he was here, but right now Sam can't help but smile at it. He should probably look less happy what with being in a more prison-y version of prison.]

I wonder if it's very... different. [Yes, that was him catching sight of the dome with the storm raging on the other side and everything eerily calm within. We're not under the sea anymore, Toto.]

[ elena might be smiling too, if they weren't in the middle of the nowhere they don't know. yet. it's a comfort, and also both nicely strange and strangely nice; she likes the feel of their hands fitting together. she keeps his hand as they emerge outside, even when she stops at the fuller picture of what's surrounding them.

she saw of the storm clouds before, but this is a little more striking. (pun intended???)

she walks a few paces, her lips parted, still holding his hand between them as she turns to face him. ] So they weren't kidding about the storm. [ they really have no idea where they are - and they didn't before, but it's still just as worrying to her as it was the first time. ]

[He's just looking out across it. That's a hell of a storm. When she speaks, his eyes move back to her. There are around a hundred other inmates here with them, but somehow, standing out here in this wide expanse under the storm in this smaller dome he feels like they're alone.]

I guess not.

It's going to be okay. [He's not even sure why he feels like she needs the reassurance or maybe he wants to hear the words too.]

[ she appreciates it. there's a realistic part of her that doubts everything will be okay, but she knows, at the very most, they're better equipped now to deal with this - she is. that's what she tells herself and believes. her expression softens and she nods, turns more towards him. it's as much reassurance to herself as it is to him. ]

We could find the edge or - [ something catches her eye in the distance; it looks like some kind of farm, but it's the enclosure that matters to her. ] maybe we could get over that fence?

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	[He looks over that way. It's like she's a diving rod for trouble.] Maybe we should find the edge. [So he might have to try to lead her away from it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-05-28 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ she knows what he's doing - trying to keep her from doing something risky. she suspects so, at the very least. she pauses, pulls in a breath, and looks to the side to weather through it. ] Okay. [ she looks back. ] It's the only place closed off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	I noticed. And they used a fence. In Marina when they don't want us getting into something there's usually a wall complete with shielding. [So that's...interesting. Okay, so he's curious about the place too and he'd rather be with her if she was going on, but better yet he'd rather check it out first.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

matter
2013-05-28 08:51 pm UTC (link)

[ she nods, less about his observation about marina, and more about how he's agreeing is a bit of an odd sock. she hesitates only for a moment - she doesn't want to put him or them both in a dangerous situation either, but how else are they going to learn anything?

she readjusts her hold in his hand, gently squeezes his fingers. ] Let's just see if we can get over or past it. [ it's as much a question and compromise as it is a suggestion. ]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-28 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	[So much for his brilliant delay tactic. He frowns and looks at her.] Elena, we don't know anything about this prison or these wardens or what is over there. It could be dangerous. [This is the face a man who doesn't want to put you in harm's way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ this is the face of a woman who is used to and a mite tired of men and women and vampires and hybrids who don't want to put her in harm's way, as if it's not only her choice but theirs. it's a feeling tempered by knowing he cares, and being able to relate to that protective streak. her lips purse and she lets out an exhale through her nose. (she's still determined.) ] Fine, but one of us can find a way to get a better look later. [ this is a compromising but resolved face. she lets go of his hand to walk past him, towards some end to the dome - plan b instead. ]
