MarinaNova Asylum

[Later in the day, once the latest wave of new arrivals had a chance to settle in, a giant INVITATION will be sent over the dome network. Giving the time and location of a massive Rave Party. Everybody was invited. Except the Wardens, because screw them.]

[Upon arriving, party-goers will be treated to a spectacular sight:]



[The whole of the indoors will be decorated, wall to wall, in these breathtaking glow-in-the-dark displays. The only other sources of light being the occasional octopus-shaped lamp sitting on the wall tables. Besides that, there will be boxes of Glow Jewelry already cracked and waiting to be worn.]

[The music playing from the speakers in every corner of the room carries a heavy bass beat to it. Perfect for cutting loose and making casual conversation all but impossible. You'd have to go outside for that.]

[Oh, yeah, and one more thing?]

[BYOB]

Okay. Here's the deal, Marina. I'm bored.

And I'm not just talking bored-bored, either. I'm talking my boredom's boredom's run out of emergency supplies here. Yeah, the games are kind of fun and all...but not all of us get our kicks out of shooting things or doing flips and stuff. Plus, I'm betting they're gonna be a sometimes thing at most, and a one-time thing most likely.

...man, I never thought I'd miss bad tv. Good tv, I'm sure we all miss, but I'm even starting to miss those telenovelas my dad used to watch when he thought nobody was looking.

[...yes, that was a hint of strong Italian accent that just popped out there for a moment. Followed by a flash of nostalgia passing over her eyes before she remembered that, oh yeah, she had some kind of point to make, didn't she?]

My point is this: we need more fun things to do around here, and M'gann and I had an idea: a party. Not like those fancy shindigs down at the bars and stuff. For one--there's a lot of us here not old enough to drink. For another, I'm talking lights out, glow-in-the dark jewelry, and rocking out to music so loud you can feel it. I mean, really, all we need is a place, a time, and some semi-decent music to set this sort of thing up.

And before V gets its metallic panties in an even bigger twist than they are now...yes, that's all I'm suggesting. Just a rave party. Nothing more.

Who's in?

[action]

[The communicator feels strange, but not uncomfortable. It takes him forever to figure out what the buttons and switch are meant to do. Reading and technology may be two of his biggest weaknesses. He makes sure the audio and video are off before setting out. It might get him attention - and then maybe help - if he were to use it, but he isn't comfortable broadcasting his helplessness to strangers in a strange place.

There is supposed to be a beach here, and a graveyard. He isn't sure which to seek out first. He hovers between Sectors 1 and 5, weighing his options and plucking at the orange jumpsuit he woke up in.]

Why orange? There are millions of colors in the world, and I end up with orange.

[It's Kaoru's first experience with the mistletoe bots, and he can't help but to have his own fun with them! He had been watching how they operate all day, so he thinks he's got the hang of it.

He's set up a brightly colored Kissing Booth, sure to get the attention of others. Perhaps there are others out there who find this as fun as he does! What better way to meet new people than an opportunity such as this?

That is what he thinks, at least!

Sure, kisses are dependent on the appearance of bots, but waiting on one to appear could make for great conversations!]

Come get kisses! This is one opportunity where the bots can't catch you by surprise!

[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

Citizens of Marina, I have a serious question for you.

Who would win in a fight? [She holds her adorned hands up one at a time.] Lobster claw oven mitt or shark oven mitt?

I know the shark seems obvious, but the lobster wants it more. Also, I think the wardens might have been drinking when they stocked the store. So, let me know if you're aware of a good AA program for AIs.

[Kitty will be milling around Bull's Eye if you'd like to find her there or on her way home.]

[The video starts with Yuuri playing on a recorder. He's no Mozart (who is widely known for his recorder-playing skills) but he's not painful to listen to at least. After just a moment, he stops and smiles out at the people. (That's you.)]

Hi! I just wanted to get your attention and there's music stuff everywhere, so that was easy. Anyway, I thought instead of just having practice today we could have a game. I know we've lost some players and it's short notice, but I thought it might be fun. [And they could all use some fun and something to take their minds off attacks so...BASEBALL!] So, come play if you want to play even if you haven't been on a team before and come watch if you want to watch. I'll bring some snacks. You should probably bring some snacks too since I don't know what everyone likes. About two hours? See you there!

[In two hours the baseball field will be ready for a game. There's a table for snacks. Nothing too elaborate—punch, water, pretzels, cracker jacks of course. Sadly, no hot dogs unless you brought your own. People are welcome to join a team for the day or sign up to stay on one! They'll also find lots of musical instruments because it's just one of those days. Nothing like a stand full of people with cymbals?]

(OOC: We aren't really going to play out a full baseball game, but feel free to respond to Yuuri's video broadcast here or tag yourself in to a mingle which can be before, after, or during the game. RNG says The Flying Knights will win this time!)

I'll say this. I don't believe for a second the whole velociraptor thing was a complete accident on the wardens part unless they are on a seperate network. They'd have seen it coming, and of all the things in sector six, one single kind of inmate or...inmate food, is kinda specific, y'know?

All that aside I figured it might help to have a little alert system for myself.

[A little playful growl as Duo is jerked a bit, he turns the camera feed to the side to show this little cutey off.]

Don't have a name for her yet but she's my new partner in crime. Think she might turn out to be a good guard dog too.

Anyway, this is Duo, signing off.

Good morning, inmates. Today is day [ 252 ] of the first generation. The weather scheduled for today is [ sunny with scattered clouds ].

In an effort to promote [ creativity and harmony ], we have provided you with [ musical instruments ]. They will be available throughout the day in both indoor and outdoor establishments. Please take this opportunity to widen your creative horizons.

Requests for inmates [ Spencer Reid and Rebecca Crane] are now available at the kiosk.

Have a nice day.

[ And like always, we end this message with a jaunty tune! You're welcome. ]

(OOC: Kiosk requests will be handled by Conscienti unless otherwise requested! Mail submissions go here! )

[A video of Kaoru with his hands on his cheeks, seemingly panicked! If you knew Hikaru, then perhaps Kaoru's face is familiar — really familiar — to you!]

How… how did you know?! [He asks in such a dramatic tone and holds himself!] How did you know that orange is my color? I am very grateful for whoever it was that decided on the color. I approve wholeheartedly! [Gives two thumbs up!] Sure it’s a little plain — and that’s putting it lightly — but as I understand it, I’m in prison, so I can’t be too choosy! Not that I have much of a choice, anyway. All I can do is be grateful that I wasn’t forced to wear something with colors that clash!

[Priorities, of course! He takes a moment to pose proudly in his orange jumpsuit. All he can do is make the best of this situation, after all.]

I’m no stranger to jumpsuits, but the last time I wore one was a costume… No matter! I will prove to the entire prison that these jumpsuits can be fashionable as you make them!
