[ VIDEO - FILTERED AWAY FROM JACK HARKNESS, IANTO JONES, KITTY PRYDE THE OLDER ]

[ Reid has spent some time carefully setting up the encryption, knowing fully well that his attempts to keep this discussion away from from the people that might take it the wrong way may result in them taking it the wrong way, should they ever find out. This is the best way he can think of to discuss this though, as a community and after yesterdays events he feels a stronger need to rally than ever before. 

He's in full on Serious Mode when he clicks on the feed, voice even and confident, perhaps more so than most are used to seeing him. ]

Good afternoon. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Spencer Reid. I'm a member of the Behaviour Analysis Unit of the FBI back home — law enforcement. I used to be part of the Investigative Team- [ Pretty much co-founded it back on day 150. ] - but quit the Force some time ago... and that leads us to what I want to discuss.

As some of you might know, the Defence Force has been controversial for longer than we've been in this prison. I feel, and I doubt I'm alone in this feeling, that it has outgrown its original purpose. There aren't that many of us left, certainly not enough to warrant an internal police force like this. Concerns have been brought up in the past that the Force acts without taking into account the wishes of the rest of the population, with regards to escape plans as well as punishments of our fellow inmates.

This is why I'm addressing you — I want to hear your opinions on the current state of the Defence Force. What is your impression? And, in a broader sense, what do you feel we as a community should do to better protect and care for each other?

Oh, and - please be discreet. I'm not looking to cause trouble with the current leaders of the Force, but I also don't wish to provoke them with this discussion. For the time being, please keep this between us.

Chekov - a word?

Hey, uhm... Alex? Can I talk to you?

It's pretty obvious the wardens are up to something or want us to think they are. They've been dropping hints about tomorrow for the last few morning broadcasts. The things Veridical said today are pretty much on target for that.

Gather round, kids. Time for a history lesson since I've been here for most of it.

Back on Day 100 we were still back in Marina Asylum with different wardens and surroundings. They threw a masquerade ball. I picked out a simple red dress and spent the rest of the day thinking I was a goddess and a crazy one at that. [Named Glory.]

On Day 200 we had a summer festival thing. Games, rides, food stands, a dance, the works. There was a projection of scenes from home. Everyone's home I think. [She doesn't mention the ferris wheel because it still comes with too many feelings when it comes to Reid. She really hopes there's no ferris wheel this time.]

Day 300 was more of a harvest festival. Same kind of thing as Day 200 but more fall themed. They did the projections again and there was a dance on the beach. [There was another ferris wheel that day and by then she and Reid had broken up. Which means it's been more than 100 days already. Sometimes it feels like years. Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Letting go and moving on are both their own kinds of journeys.]

Tomorrow is Day 400. I'm guessing there's a dance. From the look of the costumes in stock and the decorations that have started going up I think we're looking at a Halloween theme. Might pick up past things or be completely different. It feels like we had a couple of Halloweens back when I first arrived.

So...that's what I know for what it's worth. You can always call the Defense Force if something comes up. Dispatch will get someone to you. Hopefully, the worst of it is stepping on someone's toes. Might even be fun. [She might even have a date?]

[If you're out and about you might run into Kitty pretty much anywhere, but definitely surveying the costumes in the shops.]

(OOC: Links are NOT IC.)

[ It's a few hours after daypost when a, to some, familiar voice comes over the network. Voice only, this time, very deliberately so. There's been a need for adjustment. ]

Heeeey, so... look who got picked up for a sequel! Yeah yeah, I know... I shouldn't be surprised, what with all this charm and charisma. There's still about a million things I'd rather do than be here, including pulling out every single pube on my balls with a tweezer - no offence, of course. It's not you, it's me. Where was I...

Right! Big guns. Things that go boom. Will settle for something long and sharp, if you know what I'm saying. Any progress on that? It's been like... a while since I asked.

[ Locked to Spider-Man. ]

[ Usually he'd go to Weasel for this sort of thing but of course he's nowhere to be seen so- ]

Hey, Spidey. You around? I have a problem.

[Action ]

[ This is pretty much the worst case scenario and despite the reconciliation with Vanessa, Wade is feeling way too exposed here. He knows what he looks like and maybe she can get drunk enough to love an incestuous pizza face but he has a feeling he won't get as lucky with a dome full of strangers. He needs his suit, but until then he needs a temporary concealment. Back to his roots, to hoodies and balaclavas, one problem at the time.

He stealths through the dome to the best of his abilities, which isn't a lot all things considered. You can't sneak in a bright orange jumpsuit, but he gives it a damn good try, aiming for the nearest clothing store where he can cover the hell up. ]

[If you're outside today it will be hard to miss all the whimsical, high-flying kites. Might as well get some of your own or spend some time getting them out of trees.]

(OOC: EVENT INFO)

I'm usually not a fan of bottle episodes but I guess I can make an exception just this one time. You got the scenery right at least, so much better than, say, a basement. You got a Gilligan's Island thing going on here, except I don't have to choose if I want to jerk off to Ginger or the Professor. Lots of extras out there, I've noticed. Guess someone did the work for a big budget, huh? If you catch my drift.

So. I only have one question. Where do you keep the really big guns? I have an itch that only a semi-automatic can scratch.

Oh, and while I'm at it – any X-men out there or is this another instance of you not making the cut?

((ooc: as some of you may know, Deadpool has the superpower of the 4th wall break. If you don't want me to 4th wall your character (i.e. treat them as fictional) tell me in the comment and I'll lay off it! ))

[Kitty appears on the video with bruises from a failed strangling fading on her neck. Things got rough a couple of days ago.]

So, it's Day 389 which also means it's been a year since I got here. And since the only other one who made that length of time is gone now, I guess I'm the reigning champ of sticking around. Celebrate or mourn it with me at Lyrical I guess. Funny hats are a plus. [She doesn't really know how to feel about it, but she figures it will be better to be not alone.]

Everyone's invited. [That was for Reid. Just in case he forgot, but if newbies want to party too then she doesn't really mind. She'll be set up on a small, comfy couch nursing a drink and listening to the music she requested from the music station. She isn't actually wearing a funny hat...yet?]

[Private to Chekov]

Hey.

Well, it sounds like something funky's going on today - but aren't we used to that? Something's always going down in this wacky place but even so I guess I better warn ya to all keep safe, alright? While we'd love to see you pay us a visit in the clinic, we don't want to see you hurt! That'd just make for a real sour day all together, wouldn't it. Now, keep safe and stick together and feel free to ask questions if you're new, confused or slightly disoriented. In the latter case, feel free to come see me too and I'll give you a check up. Free of charge! The name's Dr. Karev, but you can just call me Alex. We can give you a nice cot to rest in, monitor you and get some remedies for any memory loss or any other malady you might be suffering!

Plus, we have lollipops. Pretty cool, am I right?

[Private to Chuck]

Hey lovely, can I ask a favor?


[Open Action - Clinic & Coffee]

[So Karev's living up the alternate reality dream as if he stepped into Marina the day he arrived as his canon counterpart, who looks something like this. Cheerful, chief resident, he's all about pep talks and horn rimmed glasses, polo shirts and smiling faces as he struts around the clinic keeping it in order today. Still, the itch to practice medicine happens under the surface but he's trying to be the good guy doctor this place needs.

When not at the clinic, he'll be refueling on coffee every so often or catching a bite to eat.]

Hello, fellow prisoner types.

[It's Kitty but it's also not Kitty. Her hair is long and held back in a pony tail. She's still older than the other resident Kitty though. And her style is unique from both of them.]

I've been here a little while and haven't done the whole, hi, I'm here thing. So, let's get it out of the way. Hi, I'm Kat. Kat Pryde if you want it Bond-style. I already know the ropes of the place so don't worry about giving me all the details. But introductions are good. [She's also wondering if anyone has heard of her. I mean, she was on Jimmy Kimmel's show not long ago talking about one of her company's prototypes and giving a shout out for mutant rights. She's kind of used to being recognized. Not sure how that plays here though.]

Also, and this might be jumping several guns at once, but I'm thinking there should be an inventor's club thing if there isn't one already. I have tech skills we have some raw materials. Who's with me? I might also be interested in a teaching position. I know, I know, I look like a kid, and I am, but I'm also a CEO with some teaching guest lecturing credits under my belt. [The smile is just a little smug which is also covering up some of the "oh em gee" of being in this place. Her life has never exactly been normal, but it's never been this either. It's kind of exciting too though.]

Right, so, hit me up. I'm around.

[Or maybe you'll run into her as she goes about her day collecting supplies in the various stores or getting a coffee.]

(OOC: AU Details)

[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.]

[How one girl can be so oblivious to the fact she was recording the whole time she was walking through the dome in understandable, when one takes into account she's a demigod. Hazel had put on the communicator and accidentally flipped the video switch before she started walking.]

Frank! Piper? Where are you guys?

[She found herself standing in the middle of the park, looking around.]

Nico?

[ Chuck isn't shy about enjoying herself on a normal day, so this vacation has been a nice break but nothing out of the ordinary. Good food, exploring the waterfall and forest trails, relaxing in the softest bed she's ever slept in... all that is fine and dandy but if this really is their last day in paradise, she should do something different. Something she may have wanted to do — might've even done on her honeymoon — but that isn't entirely socially acceptable.

She makes her way to the lagoon sometime during the afternoon, wearing a sundress and a smile, her hair tied up into a messy bun. If anyone wants to come across her skinny dipping... well. The more the merrier? ]

(OOC: PLEASURE PRISON EVENT)

[Video | Open]
[The video starts with a close up of this lady right here.]



Prison, let me introduce you to Chicago. Chicago, prison. Prison, Chicago.

[Kitty turns the video back on herself and smiles.] So, I have a dog and I will let you pet her if you come help me paint the apartment. I have plenty of brushes and rollers. There's also a bunch of pizza. [Which she'll actually have to cook since the robots aren't playing nice with anyone today. It's something she has her eye and her team on, but she's going to keep living life for now.] And drinks.

Stay for an hour. Stay until it's done. Whatever you're up for. Good times ahead. [And she's more into having the company than making people work. Definitely some big changes going on. The one she doesn't mention is that she and Reid broke up again a few days ago.]

[Action | Open]
[Step right up! The door and windows are open in her sector 4 apartment. There's plastic covering quite a bit of it and paint swatches up for the appropriate rooms. Dark blue in her bedroom, gold for the kitchen, a brighter blue in the living room, aqua in the bathroom, gold again in her office and Nathan's room—even though he's not going to be living there anymore is pure black as requested. There are coolers in the kitchen with an assortment of refreshments, some alcoholic. She'll throw pizzas in every now and again. Who knows what will be playing when you walk in a little Alice Cooper or KISS or some AC/DC. This is a judge-free zone, guys. Oh, and Chicago will probably greet you at the door.]
