Day 222 — Mandatory activity mingle
[ It's a wonderful, stormy day here in Squall Asylum and vacation time is officially over! Your gracious overlords have worked out a light itinerary for you today and they expect you to keep it.

Get in line to pick up your food rations for the day. Eat breakfast if you have time for it, or perhaps you'd rather skip this one time and save yourself the discomfort during the two hours of exercise that follow. Jogging, jumping jacks or perhaps impromptu team sports, whatever you end up doing you bet you'll come out exercised in the end!

Should you not want to participate... well. We have ways to make you join in. Anyone reluctant to get their heart rate up will get a helpful electric prod by one of the bots until they comply. Tough cookies.

Luckily you'll get a chance to wash off that sweat (hope you're not shy, the wash room can get crowded) before it's time for the silent game for an hour, followed by lunch. The day is not over yet though! There's still time for a couple of hours of hard labor tending to the crops, doing laundry or perhaps breaking bricks in the yard. To make sure none of the inmates are broken this is also the time for mandatory physical checkups — bots will guide you to the hospital. No ifs or buts. The violation of personal privacy is for your own good, we promise.

Isn't it nice, being in prison? ]

((ooc: This mingle takes place during all of day 222. A bullet-point for of the itinerary can be found here, where we also encourage you to direct any questions. Event info is here if you need it. ))

[ Concern is the dominant and obvious response as Data turns to her, studying her condition with a tight frown. His own condition seems a secondary concern to hers - both because he isn't capable of feeling physical strain, and because it's his natural inclination to put concern for others before concern for himself, particularly those he cares for. The joke gets a slight, sympathetic quirk of the corner of his mouth, uneasy as it is. ]

I cannot say that I found them to be particularly congenial hosts.

[ The offhand response, however, is not the important matter at hand. ]

Have you been injured?

[ of course he wouldn't, and she shouldn't -- she does not, in all actuality, but when seven's feathers are ruffled and she's struggling to regain control of herself and her situation, she tends to play the borg card. were voyager in possession of an actual counselor instead of a morale officer who means well and a holographic doctor, the behavior would've been recognized as a clear defense mechanism and a way of reaffirming her power over people and things. being borg is power along with knowledge and perfection, and to feel powerful is to feel safe.

seven doesn't feel safe right now. she feels the complete opposite of safe. ]

No, but I was forced to regenerate within the confines of that building they dare to call a hospital.

[ Even if Data isn't properly equipped to pull off a full psychoanalysis of her behavior, their situation speaks for itself, and it is apparent enough that she's far from comfortable with it. He places a hand lightly over hers, nodding with a slight frown. He was hardly pleased that they separated her from the rest of the population. ]

And it would seem that those who do not require the hospital's services are not permitted to enter.

[ He would know. ]

	You attempted to pursue. [ a statement, not a question. it's an easy assumption to make, and she doubts that she is wrong. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I attempted to, yes. [ A slight shake of his head, with a small frown. ] Perhaps if my systems had not been altered, I would have been able to find a way into the structure. Under present circumstances, however... that was not possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he attempted to. that means a lot to her, that he tried, even if his attempts were futile. she manages a small smile, full of affection, and places a hand on his cheek, rising up on her toes to press a kiss to his lips. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's a little surprised by the action, at the moment, but that doesn't make it unpleasant by any means. Of course, he returns it, even though he's left slightly puzzled. To him, it seems obvious that he would make an effort to reach her, and he failed to do so. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
