MarinaNova Asylum

VIDEO -- open to all

[He'd considered not even making this a video, but he really... doesn't feel like spelling out who he is and who he's reaching out to. It's a little dark where he is; he doesn't want it obvious that he's been crying (he... hasn't been crying at all. Nope).

When Yoon finally speaks, it's in a very quiet voice at first.]

I'm sure at least most of you know about Yona... [He attempts to sound as tough as possible. As strong as he can manage. Anyone who knows him even a little will know this is a huge act, and that he's fighting the urge to cry even with the next words out of his mouth.] She never belonged in a place like this, anyway. She's strong -- stronger than most people I know, so she'll be fine. Thunder Beast was probably waiting for her; he'll take care of her. [A very, very short pause.] There's a chance she could be back, isn't there? Her or Thunder Beast or... both...

[After holding a blink, which is really just an opportunity to keep the tears in check, he manages to steady his voice. Which is pretty serious as he says the next part.]

...I need to talk to you guys. [Another pause as he sighs. His head kind of hurts from all the crying, and it probably doesn't help he'd been doing a lot more reading than even he's used to.] You know who you are. I'll be home for the rest of the day...

ACTION -- closed to castmates

And he meant it.

He wasn't planning to leave home for anything that didn't include an emergency of some kind. He needed a little more time to get himself together, even if being home wasn't actually helping, considering... everywhere he looked, he was just reminded of--

--and he quickly forces himself to resume his focus on the book in his lap. It was something he'd been so sure would distract him, considering it was a book about infectious diseases (bad ones, including some that resulted in a person's body part literally rotting off slowly). He should probably have been grossed out from the start, but some part of him was actually fascinated by most of the things that people could get from simple, everyday life activities.

Besides, it wasn't as bad as the book he'd read before -- that one had covered parasites, and it had quietly encouraged him to wash his hands that much more often. It was kind of amazing how there weren't more people falling over with sickness, considering all the possibilities... Not that he was disappointed that there weren't, or something like that. Just the opposite.

So, that was how he could be found. With the door unlocked, it was going to be possible for just about anyone to wander in. He was sitting on the couch right in front of the door, so it would be impossible to miss him.

audio;
[While he's not worse for wear, Zero can't be bothered with a video right now. He'd much rather keep his eyes closed. If he sounds tired, it's because he is.]

. . .Is it really only day 397?

[He slept right through the morning announcement. Despite clearly remembering just the day before, it also feels like much longer than a day has passed. More like twenty years, with all the memories that that much time can contain.]

closed action to house-mates;
[At some point Zero makes his way to the kitchen to make the strongest cup of coffee he can. And to seek out painkillers if possible, since his head is killing him. If a house of vampires would even need them around? Feel free to find him amid this.

. . .Granted, at some point he'll be back in his bed, bundled up in blankets.]



[OOC: Zero has been canon updated! And as mentioned, by a whole 20 years. Making him 39y/o, now. :') ]

video;
[The feed opens to a rather pleased looking Kazuki.]

Hi, guys. I recently opened a café here, so I thought I'd tell everyone. It's in Sector Three, called Rakuen, and specializes in Japanese cuisine— particularly comfort foods, such as curry rice. [Promoting the dish he's pretty well known for back home? Subtly, yes.]

Ah- I guess I should mention right now that I don't have sushi, here. That can be found at Raw, which is nearby.

Anyway, please do come by if you'd like. I'd be happy to serve.

private to Yuuki;
Hey! It's been a while. If you want to stop by, I can make you some okonomiyaki, like I had offered to.

action;
[In the mean time, Kazuki is working about. The first thing one may notice about Rakuen is how warm and homely it seems. The design isn't exactly like either one on Tatsumiya or Watatsumiya Island, but still satisfying. The large front window lets in plenty of light, and the seating, floors, and fixtures are mostly wooden. Along the walls are a number of themed pictures of the ocean, fish, and blue skies with fluffy clouds.

On the counter is a small stack of menus which he hand wrote. Along with the mentioned food, there's of course also coffee and tea, a couple of floats and parfaits, as well as a few other basic sweets.]

[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

[Yes he is aware of the fact that he's never posted anything on the network until today but this is just getting ridiculous. Meaning Soushi is making an exception.]

It's amazing how much our gracious wardens seem to experience technical "glitches". One might start think that these aren't actually glitches at all. [Dry sarcasm, he has it today.]

Perhaps whoever created this prison and the system that supposedly runs it should look into updating their software. Maybe we would experience less problems.

[Honestly, Soushi has the theory that the wardens are doing it all on purpose.]

I suppose if anyone has questions, I can answer them as a regular resident of the dome.

[He's going to man the network instead of going out today. This is a good idea.]

( Closed Action for Kazuki )

[It might not be too difficult to spot this guy...

Between the lingering expression of anger resting on his face -- as well as the way his jawline is completely tense -- it might be clear to some that he's new to this place. Of course, if those aren't telling signs, there's always the weird thing attached to his ankle (but mostly the fact that he's still wearing the hideous outfit he woke up in). Yoon is, without a doubt, frustrated and completely worried about the idiots people he'd last been with. On top of the fact that they're notorious for drawing attention to themselves, there's... the matter of him... actually caring a lot about their safety.

Damn it... are they even here?!

He can honestly be found all over the place. Due to the fact that he's trying to cover as much ground as quickly as possible... he's not going to be lingering in one place for very long, however. He will trek through every Sector if he's able to, refusing to let weariness stop him from ensuring that he actually is... all alone in this place.

While swallowing down a painful lump, he eventually does take a break. It's at this point, he can be found in a corner, doing everything to keep his face hidden. He doesn't like people seeing or even knowing when he's crying. All around him are strangers, too, so like hell he's going to let them witness this!!!]

Damn it...!

[The words slip out through clenched teeth as one hand balls into a hard fist. It will be after the tears finally stop coming, that he furiously wipes at his face and begins the search yet again. In spite of the heaviness of his legs, in spite of the weight resting on his chest, seemingly making it difficult to breath... he can't -- he won't give up on his search...]
