MarinaNova Asylum

[ Action; Open ]
[ He spent the night at the clinic. It seemed like the only option, going home in that state in the dark would've definitely gotten him killed and even now when everything is back to normal it seems like a great feat of strength just to get up and go outside. Scratched and bruised, like many others after Raptor Day, Aidan might not stick out too much on this walk of shame. Sure, he's a little whiter than usual, but who can even tell what with his pale complexion? It was a rough day.

He makes his way slowly through the dome, partially because what's left of his hand hurts like a beast today and partially because he has no idea where he's going. To Euphie's? Rebecca's? Either seem equally bad. Someone should distract him on the way so he doesn't have to choose. ]


[ Audio; Rebecca Crane ]
Hey, uh... you okay? Sorry I didn't check in until now.


[ Audio; Euphemia li Britannia ]
Euphie. [ Shit. ] Did you stay safe yesterday?


[ Audio; Shallan Davar ]
Thanks... y'know. For lookin' out for me.

Closed to Apartment Dwellers
[He doesn’t remember how he got back to the apartment. Maybe the shadows dumped him here. He doesn’t remember travelling, but he doesn’t remember walking either. He remembers realizing the incredible shrinking room was gone at some point. That he wasn’t disappearing anymore. That he couldn’t hold anything down. Yuuri wasn’t there. He left. He just walked away.

It doesn’t matter. He’s here, and he doesn’t have the energy or inclination to be anywhere other than curled up on his bed, staring at the wall and willing it stay right where it fucking is.]

Open Video
[Until about mid-day when he realizes something is wrong. Bolting up, he searches frantically around the room before dropping back onto his bed. Shit.]

Hey. So, it seems I’ve misplaced my sword? It’s pure black iron, hard to miss. If you find it, don’t mess with it! Just tell me where it is, and I’ll come get it.

Open Out and About
[He’s not really sure where he dropped his sword. Maybe he really was by the clinic? But he had been popping in and out of everywhere. The … incident happened, maybe, around Sector 4? He’s not sure. So he’s scouring the whole dome, focused and irritated.]

[The video turns on after a great deal of confusion for the dragon. He has found a sheet to cover himself with, but mainly his eyes...he doesn't want to deal with most of this at the moment but he needs to figure somethings out.]

...I can't find Ao.

[Not big on words it's all too clear this conversation might be a little difficult.]

I'm not sure...what's happening.

[He is blunt and to the point, he wouldn't deny that some of the crimes listed might be true...but they were all in order to protect himself or others. Still to be here was confusing.

He doesn't really say much else and turns off the video, it's clear that he wants some help but isn't good at expressing it.]

[ She could use her magic again. She was so happy about that, it made her immensely relieved. But also determined to help, because as she might not like to fight even if she is fully capable, she does like to be of use, and what better way then to offer her other abilities as the Sky Dragon Slayer? ]

H-hi... [ She's not used to making calls.. She's talked to some people but that was on their posts. They don't exactly have these sort of things in Fiore. She swallows, and tries again. ] Hi! I'm Wendy Marvell, a mage from the Fairy Tail guild! [ Yes, good, keep going, she encourages herself. ] I'm a mage that use air magic, and through it I can use healing spells. So if anyone needs any help being healed, I will happily help out! I don't want people to be hurt, so, um... [ She falters for a few moments. ] So that's why I want to help!

I'm.. also looking for my friends. I haven't seen them and I don't know entirely how to use this contact device yet so maybe they're not here but, I was hoping that anyone might have seen my friend Carla or any of the other members from my Guild.. Like Natsu-san, Erza-san, Lucy-san, Happy or Gajeel-san.. Carla is an Exceed, she looks like a cat and is white. Natsu-san has pink hair and he is the fire dragon slayer so he uses fire magic like I use air magic. Erza-san has long red hair and is really strong [ mumble: ] She can be scary when she's mad.. [ Ah! ] She's sort of a knight and she's really strong, the strongest person I know! Lucy-san is blond and she uses Celestial Spirit Magic. Happy is often together with Natsu-san and he's a blue exceed. Gajeel-san has black hair and a lot of piercings and he laughs "gihi" [ when she imitates his laughter she also tries to imitate one of his grins that are common on his face when he laughs like that ] and he's often together with a black exceed called Panther Lily and a woman named Levy. Gajeel-san is the iron dragon slayer so he eats a lot of metal. [ She loves every member of Fairy Tail, they're her beloved family (not that she doesn't have an even wider family with Lamia Scale and Pegasus and the other dragon slayers) and her love for them is conveyed in her voice. ] I'd be really happy if you let me know if you have seen them or let them know I'm looking for them if you meet them. Any other member of the guild too, or the other dragon slayers like Sting-san and Rogue-san and even maybe Cobra-san even if he's scary..

[ She trails off. ]

So um yes... I'm Wendy Marvell of Fairy Tail and if you need any help please tell me. [ Aah, she said it twice, that was so embarrassing..! ] S-so, ah, bye...!

[Max, given his choice about things, would leave well-enough alone, avoid the network and the other inmates entirely, and keep himself from getting dragged into anything at all, because he knows it's bound to happen. Always does.

Of course, if Max had his way about things, he wouldn't be here at all, despite his profound conviction that it's probably what he deserves. A cop-turned-vigilante? It's been a long time since there's been anything resembling real civilization in the wasteland, but he can remember clear enough what it was like, before everything.

Regardless, he doesn't have his way of things, and he can begrudgingly move along to get along, and can even (he hopes) keep himself out of everything by limiting contact as much as possible. And this - this network - it's impersonal. It keeps him separated even while seeking an answer to a question, so that's better than nothing.

But it takes him a long while after arriving to get around to using it. He's still in prison-orange (he's got nothing else), and he's still dirty from the desert; oil and blood and dirt smeared on his face, a half-healed crossbow bolt wound on his forehead, and numerous scars visible through his badly shorn hair. His leathers are missing. His supplies are missing, right down to his canteen. It's not the lowest he's been in recent memory, though it comes pretty close. Most importantly, however:]

Where can I find a leg brace.

[His voice is low, rough, accent declaring he is, indeed, from Australia - or what's left of it, though softened over time as borders have blurred. The kind of voice that says it's not used very often. And that's all he offers in way of greeting. He's not giving his name, and he doesn't want to know anyone else's.]

[He doesn't come from a world with a lot of modern technology but he's sure visited enough to get used to it. That's why when trying to figure out the communication device, Kurogane figures it out fairly quickly.]

Another new world, huh? [Have one unsurprised new inmate, MarinaNova.] Never thought there'd be one that seems to only be a prison.

Oi, listen up. I'm looking for a couple of people. One goes by the name of Fai - tall, blond, probably has an idiotic grin on his face. Another is the kid who calls himself Syaoran - brown hair, serious but helpful. Then there's Mokona - a weird creature who looks like a meatbun with rabbit ears and talks.

[Kurogane doesn't ask about Sakura, he knows where she is... well, one of her anyway.]

I also wouldn't complain if anyone had any information about this world that they were willing to share.

[He might think he's a little young to find himself in prison but Adrien is the type to make the best of a bad situation. He's used to living in a prison. His father, Gabriel Agreste, didn't like letting him out of his sight and his home had pretty much been nothing more than a prison since his mom went missing.

There was one thing that had stood out to him in the announcements that he really wanted to check out. This place had a school. Maybe there were other kids his age locked up here that he could meet. After spending years being homeschooled, Adrien didn't take for granted the opportunity that getting to attend school and actually make friends could make in a person's life. He'd gotten to experience it for the first time just recently and that's where he was drawn to in this place. That's what he wanted to learn about.

Adrien flipped the switch on his communicator to record a video and introduce himself. The best way to make friends was to put yourself out there and Adrien was determined to do that.]

Hi! I'm Adrien and I just arrived here.[He actually waved at the camera in greeting to everyone that would watch this.] I just wanted some information on the school here. I get that this is jail and all, so I was curious about how it all worked.

[The smile he flashed the camera is perfection. For some reason the camera loves him--it might have something to do with the fact that he's a fashion model and used to this.]

If someone was willing to give me a tour, I would be so grateful. Especially if they could show me where I can get some new threads. I see not everyone is stuck with prisoner orange.

[Technology in any form is beyond foreign in its entirety to Jae-Ha, so naturally, it's taken a fair amount of time to get a good enough idea on how to use the communicator. His very first thought when the announcement began was just that he must be hearing voices. Not for the first time.

He's also done some exploring here and there, still as curious. From the looks of it he's currently in a park.]

Greetings, Marina. I must say that this place is incredibly deceptive in all of how fascinating things are in every direction I look.

[It may or may not be easy to tell that he's forcing these pleasantries, his tone clipped.]

However, I've never in my whole life seen nor heard of anything more disgusting than this set-up we all have been forcibly dragged into. Its cruelty is only amplified a hundred-fold by how pretty it seems at first glance. The length of our chains are great, as we're allowed about all over this dome. Yet in the end, they truly are no different than ones which hardly allow us to take even a step.

[As someone who was shackled to the floor and walls of a small stone room for twelve years, he would know.]

While I can only pray they aren't in such a terrible place as well, if anyone can let me know if there is a Yona present, or Hak, Kija, Shin-Ah, Zeno, or Yoon, I would appreciate it.

[he pauses after that]

Until then, I wouldn't mind being given some kind of tour around this place. There's a great deal of things I couldn't have ever have imagined. Having a pretty girl or two by my side would especially ease my frustrations, even if a little bit.

[There is a man with an English accent waving at the camera as the video clicks on. He looks friendly but worried as the ridges on his forehead seem to indicate.]

Hello! I hope someone is able to hear and understand me! This communicator seems to have an inbuilt translation programme as I was able to understand our graceful hosts just fine, but … you never know, right? [He catches himself before he goes on rambling.]

Anyway. I’m the Doctor. I just came here and am now wondering if anyone is able to help me out? The introduction was rather informative already, but some experience reports would be appreciated. How long have all of you been here? What planets are you from? Which time period?

[Some of the worry seems to leave his face as he talks, it being replaced with a small but friendly smile. It disappears again quickly however as he remembers something he should ask as well.]

Oh, and have any of you seen or heard of someone named Clara Oswald? A human, bossy, brunette and short teacher? [He indicates her supposed height with his hand.] If someone could point me in her general direction I would really appreciate it.

Doctor, over and out! [With another small smile, he ends the message.]

[Early Morning]

[Not that she's really fond of rain, but the overcast sky definitely makes the daylight a little easier on the eyes. While she hasn't had a chance to get an umbrella yet, she does have on a raincoat and boots. Out on the street, she doesn't particularly seem to be trying to avoid the puddles, though, when she purposefully steps in one experimentally. It's been quite a while since she's gotten to experience a rainy day, and it kind of feels nice. Lifting a hand up she lets the light rain fall upon her.]

. . . This can't really be a simulation, can it? [It's just that... everything feels so real, even if she knows the defense force wouldn't lie.]

Rainy smell, mother would have said on a day like this. [Only unlike her she doesn't have an umbrella at the moment, or someone to share it with. Join her in the rain?]

[Convenience Store ]

[Frowning heavily, Yuuki stares at the small container of pills within her hand, standing within one of the aisles of the convenience store. In reality, it hasn't been that long since she's last had to have one of these things. But it feels like it. And blood tablets have never been her idea of a good meal. The taste is terrible, the immediate flash of unknown presences within her mind unwanted, and it's never been a very good experience. But- there's little choice in the matter.

Ever since the incident with Spike the day before, she's noticed the increase in thirst. The smell of blood hardly helped, and going for a few days without anything has her senses a little overly aware. She's thirsty, she knows. But she's unwilling to drink the unknown blood within the blood packs, and this is the best she can do. Opening the container there, she shakes one out into her hand, before swallowing it whole there. She makes a face, but forces it down.

It isn't pleasant, and is hardly the most sating thing, but it should do the trick for now.]

[Private to Kitty]

Can I talk to you? I have a couple questions.

Wendy doesn't really know what is going on. She doesn't understand and she is upset because of it. She wants to curl up and hide, when she hears the voices explain where she is and why she's there. But she can't do that, she won't forgive herself if she were to give up just like that! She is a member of Fairy Tail, and the Sky Dragon Slayer! She needs to do something, rather than just huddle up and cry.

So she wipes the tears that had been emerging at the corner of her eyes, and stands up abruptly. It seems as if she is unable to use her magic right now but she couldn't use it while she was in Edolas, either, and she had managed then!

Sure, she had not been all alone, but this wasn't her first time in a new and unfamiliar place! She could figure something out for sure! "Yes!" She nodded firmly, a fist of determination formed in front of her. But what should she do...? "I can't do like Natsu-san and just barge into places shouting..." she thinks aloud. "Erza-san would demand answers, Gray-san would..." weird people out by his stripping habits so he wouldn't get a chance to ask questions... "And Lucy-san..." She contemplates in silence. Then sighs, figuring that there's only one thing she really can do for now. "I guess my best option is to look around and ask people for answers when I find them.." Ahh, she wishes Carla was with her right now, she really wishes that the Exceed was with her, things were always better with her around.

She seemed to be in an area meant for shopping? There are definitely stores there, and as she drifts from the curb she had originally found herself in, she sees a store with a very odd name. 'Plush rump' is not the most common name of a shop, as far as she knows. But her attention is caught by another store name, and it makes her stop in her way. "Magical Emporium..?" She is a mage, of course it would catch her attention.
