Action

[ After the morning greeting, and going through the introduction message a few times, Quatre is... well. Confused. This makes absolutely no sense, not in the least because he has no memories whatsoever of being snatched from where he was.

The only way he can think of to figure out how to get back is to find out more about where he is.

So he sets out exploring.

He goes into a store for clothes and doesn't see anything like a cashier's, at some point. So he carefully folds and leaves his orange jumpsuit on the floor, as an attempt for recompense, and walks out far more comfortably with trousers, button-down, and a vest. He will ask anyone he actually meets about how to pay back. Because that seems only fair to him. ]

Audio

[ Much later in the day, he decides to explore the communication options of the device attached to his head. It is clear it is meant for communication, but there has been nothing incoming during the day, so he wonders.

Just in case, he does not give his name, nor does he show his face. ]

Good evening. I am a new person here, and I was wondering if any of you know how they got the information they have about crimes committed? Whose jurisdiction are they under, too, since definitions vary.

[It was still fairly early in the morning. This really was the best time to do something like this. Any other time would have been terrible when there were a lot of people moving around the dome. This was bad enough when the bots were out, but today Trowa was not going to be doing anything too exuberant. He had someone who was not used to this tagging along.

Trowa was doing his normal morning routine of parkour. Given his athletic ability, he could easily use some of the taller buildings around the dome and usually he did. He was usually up and down and over a lot of the obstacles.

However, he had been talking about this habit to Duo and his friend had expressed interest in it. So today Trowa was going to show him the basics of parkour. No going over tall buildings, but shorter ones and benches were always an option.

So while he waits for Duo to arrive, he stretches, preparing for the run, wearing his gloves so he didn't cut up his hands]

( Of course Lelouch knew his sister was responsible for the welcome baskets... )

voice; public

[ Such a pleasant teen boy in your ear this morning, Marina! His voice is smooth and cultured~. ]

Good morning. I'm given to understand that the welcome baskets my sister [ subtle emphasis; a preemptive defense of his inheritance of the project! ] spearheaded were previously disseminated via courier, but I'm afraid that's all I know about who else worked on them...

Is there anyone else I ought to speak with before I assume her duties? [ So gracious. ]


voice; private to yuuki

And on that note -- I know you've been looking for more regular clients... [ Would you like to add flowers to the baskets, Yuuki? ]


action/apartment mingle;

[ Housemates will find Lelouch at the kitchen table, with an empty woven basket and a notepad. He has the latest of half a dozen lists on it. Ideas about what a welcome basket should contain.

Naturally he also made breakfast, so help yourself. ]

[Library]
Something had to be done. Martha knew she would probably never wear a bikini again. And she doubted she'd ever end up blue-banded with someone here. Especially now. But the scars were still there. She'd spent more time than she would like to admit staring at them in the mirror that morning. Her fingers danced over the dots while she lay in bed. Yes, something definitely had to be done. Which is why she was in the library searching for books on scars and tattoos.

[Bean Crushers]
Martha sat at a table in the corner with two thick books in front of her. She was carefully going over the pages of one, occasionally holding up a digital camera and taking a picture of whatever was on the page. Her coffee sat forgotten. Anyone curious to take a glance would notice the pages were primarily pictures of tattoos.

[video - closed to Obi]

Hey, I saw you wanted to help out over at the Post Office. This is good timing, 'cuz today's new arrival day, so we'll have extra stuff to send out tomorrow. Wanna meet up at the Post Office?

=====

[action - open]

[Duo was hanging around the arcade most of today after having made sure he had a decent amount of welcome baskets stocked up in the back of the post office for tomorrow's deliveries. He'd found it was easier to catch the new arrivals the day after their arrival.

If anyone wants to catch up with him, he'll be around!]

=====

[action - closed to Kirk]

[As Duo was headed back to his apartment, he spotted someone relatively new. One thing about doing the Post Office and delivering welcome baskets was that he was able to meet everyone at least once. He waved at Kirk.]

Hey... how's it been going?

[Today was another 'visitor glitch day', it seemed, but that wasn't going to stop Duo from delivering the welcome baskets to yesterday's regular arrivals. He also was carrying a few extra in case the day's visitors wanted one. It couldn't hurt, right? In the meantime, he clicked on his communicator.]

Hey, all, I'm Duo Maxwell, your friendly neighborhood delivery guy. I've got some Welcome Baskets with a few niceties and supplies for anyone who just arrived yesterday, and those of you who arrived today. Though, today's arrivals are likely not going to stick around in the dome, and I'll answer questions about that, too, if you've got'em, but I have enough extra, so I'm willing to hand them out if you want one.

They've got some useful items that can come in handy during the occasional glitch here in the dome, and they've got some also useful, but not as necessary items like cookies and stuff if you want a snack.

I'll be around. Or, I can bring it to you.

Later!

[Click!]

• Welcome Baskets for Day 389 Arrivals (and previous if players want to backtag any that were missed)


• Extra Welcome Baskets for 4th Wall Visitors (which is essentially the same as the regular ones)

{OOC: Okay, so I know I missed an arrival set or two due to real life stuff, so sorry about that. Previous arrivals who didn't get a specific welcome basket delivery can feel free to either handwave receiving one, or you can backdate a thread here if you'd like to thread it out.

Also, as we have a lot of "new arrivals" due to the 4th Wall, Duo's carrying extras for anyone who looks like they might need one. He's open to sharing, so feel free to claim one if you want to thread something out with me. ^_^

Additionally, for those who did arrive in game yesterday, Duo will be looking for you. He has a basket for you! We can either thread that out here or handwave that he got it to your character. Up to you! I'm flexible!

Also, for all our new players, and a reminder to current players, you can submit mail from your characters to other characters by posting on the Post Office post. That's a lot of post. Either way, you can deliver stuff there, both normally and anonymously, and you can volunteer to help Duo with the Post Office work if your character's looking for extra rehab points!}

[The video feed turns on to reveal Wally sitting in a booth at what appears to be a restaurant. It probably looks like that since The Rusty Spoon happens to be just that. On the table in front of him, there's an assortment of food laid out that one usually associates with breakfast: pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, french toast, and eggs among them. People might think it would be impossible for a single person to eat all of it, but not everyone has been blessed or cursed— depending on how someone wanted to look at it—with the super-fast metabolism that he has.]

Okay, maybe it's just me, but there seems to be a lot more people here today than there was yesterday. [Which is strange since today isn't a newbie day.] And I'm guessin' the wardens going all quiet on us too isn't just a big coincidence.

[He jabs a pancake with his fork and stuffs it into his mouth. Watching him devour an entire pancake probably isn't a pretty sight, but on the bright side, at least he waits until he swallows before he speaks again.]

So has something like this happened before? Because if it has, I would really like to know what I'm dealing with here. [Is it temporary? Are the people staying? Should he be preparing for the end of the dome as they know it?]

((ooc: If anyone prefers action, feel free to encounter him at the restaurant while he eats.))

[Today's mail deliveries were coming. Duo was also aware it was newbie day, so he'd be out and about tomorrow after the fuss died down to deliver Welcome Baskets... provided nothing strange happened and forced him to do it a day later.

Being a wizard with no prior memories of Marina had sort of put a damper on the last delivery set.]

• Letter for Felix Gaeta, Jack Harkness, Spencer Reid, The Doctor from Martha Jones

[Mild mumbling about "muggle technology" before Duo's face comes into view.]

Alright. If any of you have seen a black stick with a dragon design on it, I need it back. Now.

[The change in who Euphie is today comes down to one little sentence. Instead of being accidentally geassed (compelled) to "kill all the Japanese" it was to "kiss everyone you see." It's much better than being murderous and she's made peace with it, but it does have it's own troubles—chapped lips, embarrassing encounters, and of course, consent since she can't actually let someone choose not to kiss her. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! YOU WILL BE KISSED!

But once the peck is in place it doesn't have to be renewed until she sees them again. It's just very stressful to see someone on the network and then have to track them down or run into a large crowd. But the prison has been a pretty easy going place for this one little quirk of hers...as far as she knows. So, she doesn't mind going out for a day of enjoyment and chores stopping by the store, spending time on the beach, playing with the animals at the pet cafe, or taking care of business at the educational center and all points in between!]

[Nico looks like hell - though it might be hard to tell. He's got all the lights off on his end. Someone with good night vision might be able to see that his eyes are red and glassy. His voice, though, is raw and scratched, and he's going to make this quick.]

Yuuri's gone. He'd been here a long time, and I know he has a lot of friends here, s-so I wanted to let everyone know...

[That's it. That's all he can get through before his throat closes up and his eyes well up again. He cuts off the feed.]

(OOC: PLEASURE PRISON EVENT)

So, between bouts of soaking others with water, Duo had some deliveries to make.

• To Jack Harkness & Ianto Jones from Martha Jones

| HEATWAVE EVENT INFO |

Sleeping late? Yeah... Duo didn't notice much difference. He slept late pretty often. He was definitely more of a night owl than an early bird.

Scenarios

1. Maxwell's Church


2. Operation Meteor


3. Endless Waltz


4. Player's Choice

Event Planning Thread if you want to work something out before tagging!

[Now that things had calmed down, Duo had some mail to deliver. So, he was out and about today, having fared decently well the day before, surprisingly, and was now on his way to deliver things.]

• Letter for Martha from Ianto

(OOC: EVENT INFO | RAFFLE THREAD)

[They had gotten a lot of newbies the day before, so Duo was using a cart to help with the baskets. They weren't easy to carry when you had more than four of them.

To get to the newbies, he had a list of names, so he was calling them up on their communicators to find out where they were so he could bring the baskets to them. The call likely consisted of an introduction of some sort (Hey, I'm Duo.) and an explaination (I have a basket for ya.) and a request for the current location of the recipient (Where can I meet ya to drop this off?).]

Today's Deliveries

• Welcome baskets for Day 363 New Arrivals

{OOC: This is perfectly welcome to be handwaved for anyone who doesn't want to thread out a welcome basket delivery. Threads can either start with the communicator call, or with Duo meeting up with the character in person to give them the basket. Feel free to reply to the basket thread or start a new top level here in the post. I'm flexible! This is also Duo's open action post for today for anyone else who might want to have a run-in with him.}

[So, despite today's shenanigans, Duo had a delivery to make. So he was out and around dropping off a few things. Namely, a gift basket for a certain Defense Force chief.

Consider this Duo's open post for Mistletoe bot stuff, too. ^_^]

Deliveries

• Gift basket for Kitty Pryde from Spencer Reid

[Yuuri gets his disc set up to play and goes to shut his door for a little privacy. You never know what's on these things. Of course, his pet dragon triggering the video to play on the network might make it a little moot. Everyone can see clips of his future with a boy with long blond hair and glasses. Who needs context, right? Oh, and that girl at the beginning? That's Yuuri in a wig and dress.]

Ehh? Momo, what are you doing over there? [Yuuri walks back over just in time to be too late to stop it.] Did something just play?

(OOC: Feel free to open action in the apartment if you have a reason to be there or out and about later.)
