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.

[ helen wakes up definitely not where she was. unlike some, she doesn't immediately sit up or gasp or yell. she is trying to figure out where she is and how she got there -- and if there's any great threat to her if she decides to get up. so she listens for a while, her eyes shut to give the semblance of sleep before she slowly opens them and lets her eyes take in everything she can see from her bottom bunk vantage point.

nothing too dangerous seems to be here, but it's definitely not the bed she'd spent a night in earlier.

a few minutes pass before she finally sits up -- she'll just ignore the change of clothes again as she looks around. definitely a bottom bunk and definitely not where she wants to be. she doesn't call out, simply looking around the room for anyone she knows or anything that might be a threat.



later, she can be found wandering. no, she hasn't stood in line for rations. yes, she might need to be shoved there. it's not that she doesn't trust it. okay, it's that, too. but she figures she's had it easy compared to a lot of other people. let them go first while she figures out as much about this place as she can. so she's going to wander, eyes sharp as she looks for the few people she's actually met and a certain vampire she wants to keep track of. ]

[Tieria was across from Helen when she sat up. He looked a bit rattled, but was doing quite the job of covering up the majority of what he was thinking and feeling at the moment.

He gave her a quick nod.]


I see you have been transferred as well.

[ this sluggish feeling isn't the way she likes to wake up, either. her eyes take in the speaker before she replies. ]

Not quite what I had in mind on my third day here.

[ it's no secret that she's new. may as well play it up.

The current wardens of this location claim it will be temporary. We can only hope.

[Because, he felt very awkward about the whole thing.]

You are not harmed in anyway?

Indeed. Only time will tell if that is good or bad.

[ she's withholding judgment for the moment, even if she's not fond of the situation itself. ]

Not that I can tell. Yourself?

Same.

[Though, that was accompanied by a frown. He wasn't sure how to mention the fact that he felt like all his senses had been dulled without raising some unwanted questions.]

It does appear that this particular prison might be stricter than the last...

[He wondered what that would do to them tomorrow.]

[ she wouldn't ask. what species someone is isn't her concern at the moment unless they're going to use that to hurt other people. ]

That's certainly a good sign. [ she's being entirely sarcastic, even if her voice hasn't changed much. ] The only thing left to do is see what can be seen. How much time are we going to have at all and what are the expectations--

[ she breaks off with a weary sigh. having the brainpower to actually think about things like this means she tends to worry incessantly. ]

[No worries, Helen. Tieria was keeping up with that train of thought quite easily.]

The expectations of the new Wardens? The announcement I heard mentioned mandatory activities not being required today. I can only imagine what that means for tomorrow.

[And how many times people might be tasered into submission.]

Save your energy, pick your battles. I can't imagine this will be a good thing.

[Rebekah wakes up on the other side of the bunk and immediately she feels sluggish and unlike her normal self. This is not the apartment she lives in in the prison and when she tries to zoom from her top bunk she finds...she can't speed up at all. It's then that she notices the anklet -- the one that would render her basically human.

This just keeps getting better. and by that she means worse. She slowly climbs down the ladder, noticing a familiar face as she does so.

I've heard of prison changes before, but this is my first experience actually being involved in one.

[ the anklet and the slight sluggishness are alarming, to say the least. however, the person on the ladder from the top bunk is familiar and welcome. they may not know each other very well yet, but helen liked their short conversation the other day. that counts for a lot.

she hasn't managed to stand yet, preferring to let her senses take in everything before she does. ]


If all of my days are as action-packed as the last ones have been, I won't have to worry about being bored here. [ not that this is entirely a good thing. ]

Are you all right? [ she offers rebekah a frown, not because she's noticed anything strange about the other woman. this is simply how she works. she likes to be sure everyone's okay before attending to herself. ]

[At least it was someone she had gotten along with the one time they talked. It's not much, but it's something.

Rebekah will take it.
]

That's the goal, keep us as busy as possible. [Her tone is dry at best. She could do with some boredom, personally.

At the question, she shakes her head a little.
]

They're tampering with us again. [Her senses are cut off. Her speed, her strength -- her healing too she's sure. It leaves her with a vulnerability she doesn't like.]

[ it certainly is a good thing. better than other options. ]

I'll be the first to admit I don't particularly like being idle, but this is verging on overkill. [ for once in her life, helen agrees. she'd like a day off from all of this, honestly. one day to settle in. ]

Tampering? You mean the reason we're all a bit sluggish? [ she's assuming rebekah is as human as she is, as she's not one to judge someone's species until she's told. she simply treats everyone as an equal, no matter what they are. ]

I'm not a fan of boredom either but I'd almost prefer it to this.

[A break would be nice, at least.]

Not only that, but abilities seem to be cut off as well.

[Normally, she's not so open about being a vampire but right now doesn't seem like the time to hold back information.]

[ helen's eyebrows rise just a fraction of an inch at that admission. she's surprised to hear it and very curious, but that isn't a question she's about to ask. it isn't her business what anyone else is. if rebekah wants to tell her, she'll listen, but she won't push for answers. ]

That's disheartening, to say the least. [ makes her think of nikola and hope it isn't affecting him too badly. ] One would hope they'll let those return soon or I would imagine ones with abilities normally might start to feel the strain without them.

[ she understands how abilities work. not having them would be like not having an arm suddenly. it's disconcerting and she's now giving rebekah a look of concern. not because she's afraid. she isn't by a long shot. she's concerned that her acquaintance might be having a more difficult time than she's letting on. ]

When one arrives to Marina the anklet only stays on for the first day -- but whether the same rules apply here or not is anybody's guess really.

[And unnerving to say the least. Rebekah not only feels sluggish, weak and slow, but also disconnected. Everything feels dull in comparison to the sharp smells, sights, and noises she's used to. The lack of heightened senses may be what she notices most.]

I wouldn't be surprised if they're different.

[ she finally stands, reaching out one hand to gently and reassuringly rest it on rebekah's shoulder if allowed. a small smile accompanies that, determination glinting in her eyes. whatever the woman's abilities are, helen sees no reason not to reach out to help. ]

At the very least, we may as well see what's going on outside these walls. Can't hurt to familiarize ourselves with this new environment.

It's not until mid-afternoon that Nikola finally runs into Helen, and it's utterly aggravating that it took him this long to locate her, though not for lack of trying. This compound is new, unfamiliar, and without the use of heightened Abnormal abilities... well, even Johnny would have a hell of a time cornering her. Luckily for him, the universe has decided to cut him some slack as he rounds a corner, nearly colliding with the woman in question.

He catches her by the shoulders to steady them both from the near impact, clucks his tongue at her. "Klutz."

She certainly isn't expecting to run into anyone and her hands reach up to grasp his arms to hold onto so he doesn't knock them over. Of course he would blame it on her. She would expect nothing less.

"Good afternoon to you, too," she responds, ignoring the implications of what he's saying. "Elena said she ran into you in the rations line. How are you feeling?" It's a mixed bag of comments, though the way she says it would merely suggest to an outsider that she thinks he might be ill. He should know she's asking about his vampirism. How badly are his "abilities" repressed and how is that affecting him?

There's also the tiny inquiry as to whether or not Elena knows his secret.

"Quite sated, despite the poor quality," is the answer he provides her with, knowing fully well that she'll understand what he means by that — along with this. "But if you're offering something with a bit more flavor, I wouldn't say no."

Nikola suspects he knows what she's asking in the underlying and unsaid, but opts not to address it.

She eyes him for a moment as she lets silence permeate the air in the wake of his words. There are so many things she could say to that.

"Only if you really need it. I might be able to spare something that fits your taste."

They both know well that she'll force him to feed if she has to, but only as a last resort. It's much easier for him to deal and feed on what's available than be force-fed from a still-living human.

He flashes her a grin, the kind that often serves as a prelude for more witty, inappropriate banter, but the notion of continuing along that train of thought is banished almost as soon as it's indulged.

"If you must know, yes. Clever girl, that one. I suspect she knows a lot more about our particular line of work than she lets on."

Or rather, Helen's line of work. Nikola was more of a consultant that got paid in wine.

She's fully expecting something along their normal line of witty banter and finds herself almost disappointed when a quip doesn't follow. That grin of his usually means terrible things are following and it's got her guard up -- in the way that it usually is around him, which is quite different from the guard she has around anyone else.

"Ah... Interesting. I may have to keep a closer eye on her in that case." She's curious about what Elena does know, especially if Nikola thinks it's along the lines of her work. "I've met quite a few fascinating people in my three days here and she's certainly one of them."

Those quips don't follow, because Nikola isn't in the mood to be so lighthearted. No, he's gone from what was practically a resort and not minding so much being there, to being shoved into a place where people are expected to cohabit in close quarters without means of proper privacy, which crosses all sorts of lines and boundaries he is very much not okay with. Being uprooted once was tolerable — this is not. And that mind of his is already working on doing something about it.

"You do that," he says, seeming almost distracted by something else entirely.

She would have commented on his lack of quipping at her if she hadn't noticed how distracted he's looking. Knowing him as well as she does, she's well aware that this means something is up. His mind is somewhere else and that can't bode well.

"Nikola..."

She draws out his name on a warning, knowing full well that a distracted Nikola means trouble for her.
