Day 231 || Video | Action | Mingle!
[ Peggy's face appears on screen and she's looking as composed as ever in full make-up and carefully coiffed hair. ]

I apologize for the intrusion, but it has recently come to my attention that a similar event to today has happened at least once before. If the pattern continues, a good many of you will return to your home -- [ she hoped ] -- in the morning. My question falls to those left behind; have you ever witnessed the disappearance of a fellow inmate? It's quite curious, don't you think, that no one has spoken of it before?

[ she paused and then returned to business, leaving the suppositions behind. ]

In that regard, I have a proposal. If you're of a mind to stay up until the morning announcement, please consider joining me in the amphitheater in Sector 4 around midnight. With a little bit of effort and care, I'm sure we can provide suitable entertainment for the remainder of the evening. Who knows, we may even have a little bit of dancing.

(( OOC Notes!: (1) Open Mingle for the evening onward to anyone who'd like to make use of it! Just keeping mind that Peggy will be playing 1940's style dance music (re: jazz and swing among others.

(2) Peggy can be found at the library in the morning and the winery for lunch if you'd like to hit up an action thread before set-up at the amphitheater.

(3) If you would like to hit up one of my other characters, do so here! Just put their name in the subject header. They are... Bak Chang from D.Grayman and Hei from Darker than BLACK. ))

[ amphitheater set-up ]

[ She prevailed upon an acquaintance to help set up the table complete with record player and speakers. There are snacks available of course (finger foods, to be exact) and drink. A modest collection of wine carefully stored away in coolers. She would have gathered more, but the wardens had a restriction. In addition to the food, there are blankets for those who wish to make use of the steps and a few tables lining the perimeter that she had borrowed from the education center.

She had promised comfortable arrangements for the outside venue, and she delivered. She was inherently good at logistics.

Even so, she's enjoying the evening and not thinking about who may or may not be in the dome. She's hoping, but she's not waiting. To do so would be to flirt with disappointment. No, she will enjoy this evening out and make do in the morning when all is gone. It was simply the pragmatic thing to do.

However, she could always use a distraction. ]

[ other action of course available! ]

[After his own activities for the day, Duo showed up at the party to have some fun and enjoy the crowd if one arrived. He was also hoping that this particular party would be one that anyone he might recognize would show up to. Though, most people he knew would be fairly familiar with the network to use it, he wasn't sure that all of them actually would, so he was a little nervous about possibly missing anyone.]

	[ Peggy is making the rounds as any good hostess should, checking up on the guests and making sure they are comfortable. She pauses near Duo and gives him a friendly nod and a smile. ] Hello, I don't believe we've met. [ although there was something that seemed familiar ] I'm Peggy Carer.

	Duo Maxwell. Nice to meet ya. [He smiled a bit.] I've seen you around, so I'm guessing you're not one of today's newbies, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-08-17 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Maxwell? [ she's all surprise ] I don't suppose your brother used to reside here, did he? [ and if that doesn't answer his question, well... coincidences do happen. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-08-19 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Huh? Brother...? [His voice trailed off a bit. No, he didn't have a brother, but if she recognized the name, it might be...] I did have another me here for a while. Short hair, a little older... [A little taller...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-08-25 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ her eyes lit up ] Yes, and I believe he had a rather concerning addiction to coffee and a predilection for staying up all night. I was sorry to see him go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-08-27 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I was, too. He kinda was like a brother... as weird as it was having another me around. [He shrugged, trying not to dwell on it.] But it's all good. If he's a lot like me, he wouldn't do well being cooped up too long. I'm gettin' restless myself as it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-09-01 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ she smiled quickly before letting the lines of her face fall into the more usual patterns. ] Yes, I'm finding myself a victim of that as well. It's not easy adapting to idleness after leading such an active life. I'm to assume you've had one as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-09-02 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Something like that. [He chuckled a little dryly, maybe a little forced.] It's like it doesn't stop sometimes. But you get used to it after a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pure_confidence 2013-09-02 09:53 am UTC (link)
	The sedentary life or the random loss of friends and family? [ there's irony in her voice because unfortunately, it looked as though both required equal parts adaptation. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-09-12 09:39 am UTC (link)
	Both. [He shrugged.] I'm used to a bit more action, and I don't appreciate my friends disappearing without notice. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Peggy's suggestion had Piper curious if a certain mutual acquaintance of theirs might show up, and she went to find out. She was keeping a practical mind, that the chance was there, but it wasn't a guarantee, as to avoid being completely disappointed. She was also on the look-out for anyone else she might know from home.] (Reply to this)

	[ Hello, there Sam. ] And I believe that's my point exactly. One would think that some sign of their passing would remain behind for us to see, wouldn't you? Especially if this dimensional stabilizer is as unstable as it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Video] turnsonadime 2013-08-16 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Hiya!] Yeah, makes sense. Though, all this sciency-mumbo-jumbo an' alternate reality stuff is kinda over my head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Video] pure_confidence 2013-08-17 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ in truth, it's over hers as well ] That's no reason why we shouldn't try to figure out the finer points of this kind of technology. Even if they are just blind guesses. [ c’mon Sam. Help a good woman out here, hmmm? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Video] turnsonadime 2013-08-21 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, I agree. I'll leave it to you though, I wouldn't know the first thing about it. [Doesn't mean he can't share what he knows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I'm afraid we're two of a kind. I haven't been able to make much progress. I'm still figuring out what exactly a computer is. (Reply to this) (Parent)

For Hei and anyone else!

[Saya blinks awake in the middle of the park, the grass warm and welcoming around her. Her gaze darts erratically to and fro as she tries to remember. Was she asleep? A hard shake of her head dispels the fog somewhat, only enough to tell her that something is very wrong.]

[Slowly, it comes back to her. That strange other prison where storms raged on outside. Feeling her long sleep coming on. Saying goodbye.]

[This isn't right. Saya shouldn't remember any of them, or herself. She shouldn't remember anything. If Hei kept his promise, she shouldn't be alive. Was this place tricking her, cheating her out of the death and rest she longed for?]

[Nothing makes sense, but Saya forces herself to stand and walk. Whenever she was most confused, most wounded, putting one foot in front of the other was all she could do.]

[ there's a thud as a bag fell to the ground, eggs crunching as they broke in their styrofoam containers. ]

Saya?

[ his whole body screamed impossible as he stood there, staring, incredulous, and he couldn't stop the stumbling step he took towards her. But he did stop, jolting to stiff awareness as he remembered, assumed, this was not the Saya he knew.

She may not be the blank-eyed nymph whom he had first given a name to all those months ago, but there was no guarantee she hadn't been changed. It could be Saya, but one who didn't remember Hei. It could be Saya, but not his. he wasn't at all certain, which he hoped for. ]

yes, yes!

[Hearing her name makes Saya pause, her back painfully straight. Of course she knows the voice, even though she shouldn't know it. None of this makes any sense.]

[The best thing might be to pretend she doesn't know Hei. Spare him the suffering that always comes with being in Saya's life. Surely, that would be the smartest thing to do.]

[It occurs to her only after she's turned and run headlong into his arms.]

	[ he caught her, sweeping her up in a bear hug as he clung, breathing her name, and trembling. It may be a kindness, but he had was used to a world where kindness was a stab in the back. Whatever didn't kill him, would heal. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crimson_blade 2013-08-10 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	[A long moment is spent just clutching him almost too tightly, but she can't rightly consider the moments wasted despite how she tries to know better.] What's happening? [She doesn't let go yet, or pull back an inch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-08-17 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	[ he shook his head against her hair, fingertips tight against her nape. ] The warden's warned us this morning. They're repairing the stabilizer. [ which made the ache in his chest grow, knowing she was here for a day and no more. He wasn't sure which would be the kindness, knowing she would leave to rest, or knowing she couldn't stay. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crimson_blade 2013-08-22 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	...Oh. [She does pull back now, to look at his face. Even if she knows he'll be putting on a good one for her, that it's just a mask, seeing it will somehow help.] It's only temporary, then. [Saya's not sure whether to be happy or sad or what. It's a gift, it's a curse... but it's not so different from normal. Always knowing she'll have to say goodbye.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-08-22 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ It's only through sheer will that he loosens his grip and attempts to put space between them. Just enough to breath, to look, to memorize anew each strand of hair and the shape of her face. ] We'll have to make the most of it. [ stolen time, borrowed time. He would not sleep until she was gone. They'll have to fight him for her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crimson_blade 2013-08-29 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	[Normally this is where a passionate kiss would go, but somewhere between panic and confusion Saya only manages to look up at him and ask with bewilderment:] You're not talking about chores, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-08-31 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ he quirked a smile then, relief and ache settling into his bones all at once. ] No, no chores. The laundry can wait until tomorrow. [ because today he had Saya, his Saya. In all her quirky hesitancy and pouting demands. He would regret, needing to let her go again. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crimson_blade 2013-09-02 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Good. [And now she'll stretch up to give him that kiss. Soft and chaste, which he'll know is her way of showing pure affection, untainted by her more... intense feelings. Hei is no longer hers to claim, and so she wants to treat him more obligingly. Whether she ultimately will remains to be seen.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He won't wait. Holding her in place, arms folding even more tightly around her, he leaned into the chaste kiss, plying her lips for less pureness for only a second before changing his mind, shifting back and grabbing her hand. ]

Let's go home.

[ and regardless of the groceries still lying on the pavement, he began to walk, tugging her with him. There was sudden urgency in him and unless she wished to risk the rough prick of a tree against her back, they had best hurry.

Doubts could come later. Visiting can come later. He would not waste his day on frivolities. ]
