[ So this Bihari cuisine. Of course he has to try it. And he's instantly drawn in just from the smell of it, he loves this kind of food.

Once he tries it he's even more in love. ]

So tasty~! [ And tasty food makes him happy. ]

I wonder how these are made. [ He can probably figure it out, and today he only has one class to attend so unless anything comes up at the post office, he should have time to pick up on some stuff, but sadly not all of it. ] It's such a shame this will only be available today. I wonder if they'd be willing to teach me.

It seems my vision has decided to play a prank on me by being blurry on the one eye and monochrome on the other. But that's unimportant, I can bear with a headache or two.

[ Even if said headache or two is pretty damn bad. ]

What's important is that when I went to the pet cafe to play with the cats, it sounds as if the cats are barking. Is that only me?

[ It is only him. Probably because he takes personal offense at barking and dogs because they're too much like those damn one-track-mind cultists. ]

It's annoying, playing with cats should be soothing, not annoying.

(Event Info)

Having found little to interest her in tattoos to cover up her newest scars, Martha had turned to Jack's suggestion at getting them removed. And knowing she had little to no rehabilitation points, she was willing to take whatever the wardens would give her regarding work to earn more.

Which was why she was now rolling a ginormous pumpkin through sector zero to place somewhere. It was also why she was placing hay bales in various places and hanging orange lights. None of the decorations were as impressive as she would have expected from the wardens for a big anniversary bash, but there was definitely plenty.

"Excuse me!" she called over the pumpkin.

((ooc: EVENT INFO ))

Video | Open

I think we could all use a distraction.

[Or maybe that's just her thinking about how it's been awhile since the wardens have launched something at them. The kites barely seem to count. Is something big coming? are they just counting down the days until 400? Another anniversary festival or something...worth waiting for? In probably all the wrong ways.]

So, let's play a game. It's called I Never. It's usually a drinking game, but I'll leave the type of beverage up to you. All ages. [As if anyone stops the kids from drinking booze here anyway.]

I'll say "I never went to prison." If you have gone to prison—and spoiler alert, you have—then you drink. If you're not using video then figure something else out or stop being so difficult. The objective is to find things out about each other while not getting too drunk or hydrated yourself, so normally you'd pick a true statement for yourself so you don't have to drink. But that's really up to you. [She might drink a lot just because she's done a lot of things.]

I'll start us off, I never shoplifted...from a store that hadn't already been abandoned.

(OOC: It's not a mingle, but you can feel free to threadjack others!)


Action | Closed to Chekov
[Not long after the video goes up there's a knock at his door. On the other side is Kitty, looking a more put together than usual and carrying a couple of bags. One has liquor. The other has food. What do?]

Video
[The video opens facing a seemingly random direction before turning back to a blond teenager, turning the communicator like he's not sure what to do with it. To the untrained observer, they might think that this kid needs to be in the medical wing: pale to the point of being nearly white, sunken cheeks, and dark shading around the eyes.

However, he didn't seem to have the problem of the orange jumpsuits, currently wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a patch of dark brown fabric at the shoulder.

After a few minutes of examining the device he grumbles to himself, frowning]

I don't have time for this. I have to get back to Paedar. You open one stupid door in an abandoned city and this is what you get.

[He looked around nervously]

I'm sure Qin would know what happened... Of course he's not here when I need him to be.


Action
[Erebos has found himself in front of the eating establishments in Sector 2, moving to stand in front of different ones as he surveyed them. Was he hungry? Not particularly, but as he yet to find a way out of the place he had found himself in. He might as well get a lay of the land and some of the other places seemed... too bright for his taste.

Besides Paedar would want him to eat....

In theory, he might attract less attention in a restaurant.

In practice, he hadn't actually gone inside any of them. He was just staring at them]

[Welcome newbies and today-only newbies alike, while you're getting accustomed to the sights and sounds here's a few more. Rebecca opens a channel on the communicator with a bright sunny view of herself on the beach, water in the background and bright blue eyes focused on the lens. While she talks she'll swing the view around, letting snippets of the set up of a volleyball net be seen as well as a few tables worth of baked goods (thank you Chuck) and a sexy redhead boyfriend working grill.]

Hey guys. If you're looking for something to do or want some free food, come by the beach in sector one. My name's Rebecca to make introductions short and we're having a fun get together that's open ended, mostly so I can work on my tan. [She winks. There's more to it than that but she can elaborate later to the people honestly interested. And with a hopeful bite of her lip:] If you remember me from any time before, let's catch up too? We've got some drinks and when it starts to get dark I'm going to try and dig a fire pit. No wardens are around to tell me not to light things on fire so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

[OOC: Rebecca's network replies will have their own thread down below, and you're totally invited to make whatever you'd like of the post in your own comments as well. It's something of a beach party/ mingle with food (pies and the like, courtesy of Chuck), drinks, beach sports and tanning and Becca digging a fire pit later on for people interested. The beach has barbeques (also one manned by Aidan), huts and cabanas and a few harmless fish in the water as well.]

[Miranda may have only recently arrived, but even in a prison she hadn't believed they could forsake their duties as Holy Guardian Rainbow Spirit Exorcists! In a place such as this, souls had to be suffering after they passed on.

Not that they had found one, as of yet, but Miranda couldn't give up. If there was a lonely, hurting soul somewhere, then it could be turned into a Poltergeist and Miranda and Lyle couldn't let that happen.

So here they were, dressed out in their Holy Cloths, wishing she had her Rainbow Spirit Staff, ready for any situation they might find, in the graveyard, search everywhere they could for potential souls that would need saving.]

I still don't sense anything, but when have you ever heard of not a single spirit in a graveyard? It's very um--peculiar.

[She was worried they would have to split up to keep looking. Miranda would do it if she had to, but she'd much rather them stay together for now.]

{OOC: Magical Girl meets Exorcist AU! Miranda and Lyle are Holy Guardians, tasked with seeking out spirits who may turn into Poltergeists that can wreak havoc on people and feed on their souls, exorcising them before they lose themselves completely. If their is a Poltergeist, they of course have to fight save it in their magical girl uniforms Holy Cloths! There is a closed thread for Miranda and Lyle, but people can run into them in the graveyard or around the prison. Put in your header which of them you want to thread with or both!}

[Video]
[Now this machine is completely different from either of the communicators that she had been given before. More complex in design, but thankfully simpler, at least in her opinion. Much few buttons to navigate. The person coming onto the video is pale, long dark hair—sorely in need of a good washing—falling about her face, left eye covered by an eyepatch looks a bit worse for wear, if usable. She’s smiling, unsure, but hoping she comes across as genial.]

Ah…hello? I don’t know how many people there are here already, but um…it’s nice to meet you all. My name is Miranda and…I’m not quite sure how these crimes are possible. I haven’t quite had the time to be a criminal and some of these ah…incidents were not intentional in the least. But as I doubt there is much I can do to change the mind of the wardens…do they um…allow us to do things...on our own?

[It’s been so long since she had a good bath and even longer since she had any kind of privacy, but if this place is anything like where she’s been before, she doesn’t expect that. She's trying to sound calm and easy, but her voice wavers just a bit.] If so, I-I would be very grateful if someone would direct me to the nearest washroom...an-and the stairs if you don't mind. I can't seem to find any and the door won't open.

[Someone maybe woke up floating on the island.]

[Action]
[She wants to learn her new surroundings, so completely different from where she's been recently that it's a bit overwhelming at first. She stands and looks and doesn't know which way to go in. But once she's moving it's like she has to see everything. She is moving all over the dome, stopping at the various places that she has access to. There's a beach, a library, a museum, and even a store full of animals! And she will be definitely taking advantage of the hot springs. The spa seems a little too...fancy for her, but hot water and a good soak help her feel a lot better about the situation.

It's when she sees the graveyard that she takes a pause, standing at the end of the area, but not entering. Considering how vast this place is, she's not surprised as she should be--not anymore--to see one, but it makes this place all the more...real. This isn't a dream. It's not another experiment by Val or the scientists. If it was, there would be so many more gravestones, she would think.]
