[Out and About]

[Duo was doing his thing, finding newbies, and delivering baskets. He was willing to stop and chat to anyone he passed by. In the baskets, as well as in his pocket, he had some pamphlets about the Post Office left over from PM's stay. Though, he knew he was going to have to make up some new ones, soon.]

[Deliveries]

Welcome Baskets for all Newbies

{OOC: Any newbies who want to thread out receiving their baskets, please feel free! It's not a requirement, but it's good for AC if anyone needs a thread. ^_^ We can start however you want, with Duo contacting the new arrivals via the communicator, or with them meeting up in person. I'm open to either!}

	Sender: MarinaNova Welcoming Committee Recipients: Day 258's new arrivals Text of the mailer, and/or image URL(s): A large, sturdy, white wicker basket with a handle, filled with various treats. (Reply to this)

	[Curt is walking around, being new. He looks more wide-eyed and interested in everything than disoriented or scared. He keeps poking his nose into all of the buildings and just sort of staring at things. Hey, it's a guy with baskets. Stare.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[The obvious newness caught Duo's attention. He offered up one of his best smiles and headed over.] Hey. You're new here, aren't you? [Because new guys being new could be pretty conspicuous.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wildcurt 2014-02-26 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I am. New, confused, all of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-02-26 06:49 am UTC (link)
	Well, then. You're in luck. [He handed him a basket.] This... is a welcome basket. It's got snacks, some basic supplies, and information. It's like a "Quick Start" kit for the prison. A lotta the questions you might have can probably be found in there. But, I can probably answer 'em, too, if you got any. I've been around for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wildcurt 2014-02-27 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Cool, thanks. [Curt starts poking through the basket.] I don't know if I have questions. Like, the important bits of information I keep finding out tend to be stuff it wouldn't have occured to me to ask about. Unless you know where I can get my hands on a decent guitar.

	devine_braid 2014-02-28 05:48 am UTC (link)
	You can ask the Wardens... if you want yours specifically from home, you'll need rehab points, but you can get a general one. I dunno if there's a music store or anything. But there's also some instruments at the school. Might be a guitar there you can use. Just, I don't think you can take that one home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wildcurt 2014-03-01 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	Guess I might want to try for some rehab points--although somehow I have a feeling I'll probably just get into trouble here. At least I can probably practice for now. Anyway...I'm Curt. I guess I'll see you around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-03-12 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Sure thing. I'm Duo. I'll see ya. [He gave a pleasant wave before heading on his way... giving a parting shout over his shoulder.] Good luck! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	And the puppy named Trouble came running to greet the braided Duo, where as his double was staying behind just to see how long it took his double to figure out where he was. Gotta keep the kid sharp, after all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

This was like a cliché in the making here. He recognized the dog, though, and was glad the dog recognized him and wasn't going to do the typical 'attack the postman' maneuver today.

"Hey, dog... where's your buddy?" He paused, keeping what baskets he had out of reach (there was chocolate in there, after all), and leaned down with a free hand to rub the dog's head. "He didn't let you get loose, did he?"

	stillshinigami 2014-03-05 03:28 am UTC (link)
	The little dog yaps happily at Duo. Just another 'buddy' to play with. Play play play? Duo starts walking out over to his double once he was sure that he wasn't looking around for him. He catches his eye and waves. "Man, you're not paying attention to your surroundings. Next time I'm bringing a water gun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do that, and you can repack the wet baskets," he snarked back. "So... whadja end up naming her?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Cassiel eyes the basket for a long moment, then transfers his steady look to Duo.] Thank you. What is the purpose of it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-02-25 06:44 am UTC (link)
	To help you settle in. There's like snacks and information and some basic supplies to get you started out. [Duo smiled back at Cassiel pleasantly. He was used to long steady looks like that, so he wasn't bothered by it in the least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wherever Cassiel is, Elua probably isn't far behind, and vice versa. So it was really no surprise that before long, definitely befoe Duo has left, a smiling dark skinned man wandered up, drying off his long hair with a towel.]

Cassiel, did you meet someone new? I told you it wasn't that hard.

[He grins, turning to Duo. It should be extremely obvious by now that Elua isn't actually wearing anything, and by the wetness of his hair and the fact that they're on the beach, it should be obvious what he was doing.]

Good day to you. I'm Elua, and I see you've already met Cassiel. How are you?

[Duo smiled a bit, deftly avoiding looking too far down. Hey, if he wanted to let it all hang out, he wasn't going to say anything. Last he checked, it wasn't completely against the rules... maybe. Duo wasn't all completely up on the rules, being the somewhat free spirit he was.]

Hey. I'm Duo.

[He handed a basket over to Elua, too.]

I'm kinduva the delivery guy around here, so, on behalf of the Marina Asylum Welcoming Committee... a gift. Welcome to prison. [He actually smirked a bit at that because of how odd it sounded. It was kind of funny.]

	[He turns slightly when Elua approaches, his blank face relaxing into something that may be more pleasant.] He gave me a basket. I couldn't avoid the acquaintance. [He holds up the basket to show Elua, totally unfazed by his nudity, then turns back to Duo.] A kinder welcome than is usually found in prison. Thank you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Elua grins at receiving his own basket]

Thank you, how kind of you.

[Chuckle]

Well, perhaps more people should give you things so you may make more acquaintances.

[he nods in agreement]

I must admit, this is much more pleasant than any other prison I have been in.

[Because really, good food, beaches, welcoming baskets? And his flowers are back, blooming behind him in the sand, footprint shaped miniature gardens trailing behind him.]

	devine_braid 2014-02-28 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah. We try. I mean, there's no point in being mean right off the bat, right? We're all stuck in the same boat, so to speeaaak... [His voice tailed off as he noticed the flowers... still trying not to stare at the nudity...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byhisside 2014-03-01 06:10 am UTC (link)
	You have room to walk at least. [Elua does like to be able to move. Cassiel shifts to stand a little closer to him, looking at his basket as well.] A boat that will not carry us away from here, but yes, we are trapped on it together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flowersteps 2014-03-01 06:17 am UTC (link)
	Yes, walking in the same small circle every day grows old very quickly. [He nods] And so it makes the most sense to try and get along with everyone else until someone figures out a way to get the boat home. [He tilts his head as he notices that Duo is a bit distracted] Is something the matter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-03-01 07:46 am UTC (link)
	Those... those uh, flowers. They weren't there before... [Any conversations about boats and prisons were now in the back of his mind. He wasn't used to special powers, even having been in the prison for a while. His world didn't have them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flowersteps 2014-03-05 06:19 am UTC (link)
	Hm? [Elua turns around and looks down at the tiny garden full of flowers] Oh, you noticed. They're very pretty, aren't they? [He bends down to pick a few, holding them out to Duo, a small bundle of yellow coreopsis, orange roses, water willow.] Here, would you like some? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

2014-03-12 04:11 am UTC (link)

[WOAH... Duo didn't need to see a naked guy bend over from behind. He really didn't.]

Woah, dude... yanno... I um... [He stared at the flowers in hand now.

He cleared his throat.]

Well, first... will those disappear?

And, uh... most people here wear clothes. I dunno if you're a nudist or something, but some people might get a little... uncomfortable around a naked person. [He was trying really hard to be nice about it, since he didn't know Elua's beliefs on clothing.] Just a thought. [He shrugged, like it was no big deal.]

[You know you liked it, Duo.]

[Elua shakes his head]

No, though they will die if you don't keep them in water.

[He looks down, he's sort of forgotten that he's not wearing anything and he looks sheepish]

My apologies, I saw Cassiel after I went for a swim and wanted to see what he was doing. I'll go and get some clothes on, for your own comfort. Please excuse me.

[So he's going to go off and get at least some pants. Exit stage left. With some more butt. Sorry, Duo.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2014-03-19 02:49 am UTC (link)
	Uh, sure. [Duo was torn between, "Hey, do what you want," and, "Awkwaaaaard," all at once. He was pretty free-spirited himself, but that was taking it to a new level.] Heh... [He looked back at Cassiel and flashed a quick grin, burying that awkward under happy.] Anyway. Welcome to Marina! I'll see ya 'round. [He gave a quick wave before he was on his way once again.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
