Event info!

Sarah took one last look around before propping the door to the game apartment open. She had decided instead of hosting it in her own apartment to instead find an empty flat. The room was definitely decked out for games. Tables and chairs dotted the room. A table against the wall held the various games she'd clearly grabbed from the stores. And there were also plenty of decorations of various polyhedral dice as well as little meeples. In the kitchen, the table was laden with food - standard party fare. Pizza. Chips and dip (of all types). Veggies and dip. Cookies. Clearly, she'd been thinking about this for a long time.

Hopefully all the other teenagers would actually show up!

[OOC: Obviously mingle as you will. Sarah will have a thread at the top for anyone who wants to talk to her.]

[Sarah smiles into the camera.]

Hello...

Uh... Nico and I are inviting all the teenagers to a game night on day 420. No! Day 421. Sorry. The days are messed up. So day 421 is game night. In the clocktower estates. Room [insert room here]. We'll have lots of board games, but if there's something you really like, please bring it. There will be food and drinks.

It should be lots of fun!

[She gives one more smile and waves before clicking off the feed.]

[EVENT INFO]

(OOC: Event Info)

Careful where you step. Sarah was busy decorating the oodles of pumpkins and other gourds. Decorating and then leaving them places for people to find. She chose to paint rather than carve, and there were plenty of fascinating pumpkins around the dome.

If you happened to run into Sarah herself, she was fairly covered in paint herself. Her face was streaked and spattered and her hands were fairly multicolored. But she seemed to be having fun.

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.

(( OOC: Happy Halloween - sort of! EVENT INFO ))

[Carl knows fully that he has been stricken with the rhyming bug today, but really what is the harm of it. It's weird yes, but its far less dangerous than what he's seen. He's more curious how far this will go than anything else]

Today is a very strange day.
I'm sure everyone is waiting for it go away.
Some people will probably call it lame.
I suppose the wardens can take the blame.

[Not the best. Guess even the prison causing this doesn't make him good at it]

((ooc: EVENT INFO ))

[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)

[Open Video]

[Those checking the network will be greeted by the sight of an awkward-looking teenager with bright red hair who is doing his best to force a smile onto his face to cover up that he really, really wants to freak out right now.]

Um, hi. I'm Archie. Archie Andrews.

[Have a friendly wave people of Marina.]

I've seem to have gotten lost. Funny thing is I'm not even sure how I got here. Wherever here is. [Somebody missed out on the usual greeting message.] This definitely trumps the the time I started a fire in the ice cream freezer. [The point being he has a habit of not knowing how he does the things that he do.]

Anyway, I really need to get back to Riverdale so I can fix things with Betty and her uncle. Or try to. [He's a terrible fixer.] And I'm sure Ronnie and everyone else will be worried about me too if I'm not home soon.

[He nervously tugs on the collar of his Riverdale High letterman jacket.] So I just really need to get home. [Though he's gotten the feeling that's not going to be happening anytime soon.]

[Open Action]

[Once Archie has finished addressing the network, he began to pace back and forth somewhere in Sector 2 with his hand buried in his hair muttering to himself that this can't be happening over and over again. The freak out had officially begun.]

The Doctor had slept the most he's had in a long, long time. The last two days have been something of a blur to him after being bit by Martha. If it weren't for the photograph he currently was staring at of himself after the ordeal, he'd consider it to have been a dream or a hallucination. Maybe he'd even consider being drugged after attempting to climb up onto the floating island with Kitty Pryde.

He sighs, sitting in the back of the Cat's Eye Café sipping at a cup of tea. It was his fourth cup, as they conceded and just gave him a teapot to continue helping himself as he flipped through a small notebook he starting carrying around with him. He's already filled quite a few pages with notes and sketches, dividing it in by locations and what he's found out for each one.

So far, he hadn't come up with any ideas or answers about this place, only knowing plenty of information was being kept from him. Normally, he'd spend most of his time searching up and down, looking for doors he shouldn't be looking for, but without his sonic screwdriver and being asleep for most of the last 2 days his progress hasn't been of any significance.

The Doctor was growing bored, which was never a good thing, sticking the photo as a bookmark and closing the notebook. He sits there with his chin placed in the palm of his hand as he looked out at the crowd while his fingers of his free hand lightly traced where he had been bitten 2 days ago. Eventually he needed to talk to Martha.

[He's already changed out of the orange prison jumpsuit they put him in. It's weird that everything here is free but Hikari's got himself a blue hoody and a pair of shorts, along with some shoes he could just slip on by the time he finally addresses the network.]

This is weird. Talking to everyone like this. [Hikari's used to regular phones.] Guess I should start by introducing myself. Name's Hikari Sakishima and I'm from Shioshishio. [Muttered quieter:] As if anyone's gonna know what that is.

I have a question. Has anyone ever swum down to the bottom of the "ocean" floor and explored it for a way out?

[Probably not a good idea to be talking about over these things the warden provided him with but... what are they going to do? Throw him in prison.]

I mean, there's gotta be some thing all the way out there except the barrier so I was wondering if anyone knew.

[He gets that they're supposed to be some virtual versions of themselves but is there anyone who can do what he does?]

It may not look like it 'cause of my age but I've got important things to be doing back home.

[Video]

[Nathan doesn't look exactly like Nathan today. He looks like a kid who occasionally sees the sun, eats regular meals, and even sleeps. Weird, right?]

Is anyone else normal today?

[That's it. That's all he needs to know.]


[Action]

[This is not a Nathan who skulks and stares and wanders aimlessly. This Nathan is actually going places. The pet store, the arcade, the library, the Daffodil Dive... he can even be found out in one of the parks enjoying the sunshine and doodling in a sketchbook.

He's still shy—odds are good that he won't approach anyone he doesn't already know—but he's not unfriendly.]

[Option 1; Action]

[This... is a disaster.

Slumped on the ground in defeat, Yuuki can't believe her luck at all. On the day she sets out to attend a school. An actual school for the first time, with other people her age, with other vampires and even humans alike, she gets kidnapped. How can this be her luck!? Dismayed, she stares at the device she's slipped off her ear, as though the words 'just kidding' will be written on it somewhere. Of course there's no such thing. For a moment, she can't help but wonder if her father is the one responsible. He had been the one most nervous regarding her introduction to society, and about attending school. In fact, she's only allowed to attend because her brother is going to join her.

After this, though, she has to wonder if her parents might just go back on their word and make her go home.

Which only leaves her one option....!]

I have to find a way out of here myself...

[Before her brother, mother, or father even know something has happened.]

[Option 2, Video]

[Luckily, this weird communication device is pretty easy to use. She's fiddled with it a little, and decides to try and test it out.]

Hello...? People can hear me, right? [Can they see her, too?]

It's a pleasure to meet everyone. [Friendly, and with a smile] I'm new here, and I was wondering if people could answer a few questions for me. First- has anyone heard of Kurosu Academy?

[Option 3; Pick your own adventure]

[Find Yuuki anywhere! Stopping to get snacks, exploring the school, lingering outside of the Blood Shack, or anywhere else public you might think of. She has no memories of Marina. Her event info can be found here! She also has a Permissions Post which is always up regarding her vamprism and abilities! Feel free to fill that out so that I don't step on any toes. ♥]

[Closed Video to Carl]

Two questions. How do you feel about bowling, and do you know anything about baseball?
[Okay, so she still feels a little awkward about the whole kissing thing, but Chuck had suggested activities. Bowling was an easy one, and now that she had stupidly joined the baseball team, perhaps they could practice throwing a ball or something.]

Open Action

Since getting back to the dome, Sarah had doubled down on her mural. She hadn't left the apartment much, though today it was rather necessary when she realized she was out of a very specific blue she needed to mix the proper color. She left the apartment unaware of the various paint smudges on her forehead and near her ears. There was a particularly lovely splotch on her chin when she stopped to think about something. Sarah never was a neat artist.

[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.]
