[he's very, very angry, and his leg hurts, but he's been listening instead of reacting, and he's pretty sure the fastest way to prolong the problem is to vent. he'll take care of the AI in his own time.]

[nunnally is safe. everyone is safe. most of his preparations were overcautious (but you can never be overcautious). and this might be an opportunity.]

[lelouch stands patiently in line at the cafeteria for his irritatingly generic breakfast, gaze searching over the sea of heads. he recognizes almost everyone here, from photos if not from personal association. he catches suzaku's eye and nods him over, and then keeps looking.]

[this might be an opportunity.]

[There is an extremely sad Orihime hovering by the edge of the dining hall, looking wistfully at the kitchen, wringing her hands a little. She made an egg and bacon and oatmeal muffin sandwich but it's just lacking something. Something like red bean paste. Oatmeal is no substitute.]

[But they won't let her at the kitchen...!]

Please move along. Don't hold up the line. It is time for your physical activity requirement for the day. Exercise is good for the body and mind, and releases endorphins that make people happier. Perhaps some of you haven't been getting enough exercise.

We will be doing some stretching and yoga, since many of you aren't capable of anything more strenuous with your restraints. Afterwards, you will be escorted to the bathing rooms and segregated by gender.

For those of you who haven't bothered trying yet, your restraints should not hinder you in removing and putting on your clothes.

[Everything seemed sort or strange to Zero when he first woke earlier in the day. He hadn't immediately pinpointed it and upon being told he could go back to sleep, he'd done just that. Normally this time of morning announcement was when he was heading to sleep for the night. Having Senti tell him to go back to bed when he was already half asleep hadn't let him focus on the actual uproar going on outside. Now that he was actually awake for the day, the announcement over the speakers that had given instructions for the next activity of the day had sort of...surprised him.]

[Curious, his routine included spending part of his day working out anyway so this wasn't out of his way. He was more curious to see what was exactly going on.]

[Which is why he stood, watching as everyone else entered for their appointed Yoga appointment. Balls and chains. Everyone was wearing balls and chains except him...]

[Though the situation at current sat even less well than it had the previous day, 'Vadum was not one to let his honor and pride be tarnished easily. Holding himself tall even as he dragged the large heavy ball after him when the Sentinels came to collect him.

Collecting what food that seemed relatively edible to him, he took a seat one one of the tables to the side of the room. All the while his gaze sweeping over the many other inmates that sat about the room, searching for any that he may recognize as well as the positions of potential threats such as the sentinels.]

[The maou had been meditating more than actually doing yoga and the sitting position was helpful for when he suddenly fell backward, eyes closed. A change happens as a missing piece is reintegrated. A moment later there is a slow blink. Everything feels a little foggy as Yuuri sits up again only to see everyone he knows at Marina working out together and...wearing balls and chains!?]

WOAH! What's going on!?! How did we all get here? Why isn't everyone else freaked out?!

And wasn't it night time?

And... [Eyes widen as his memories from before the transformation come back into focus.] C-Conrad...he...

[ Ritsuka turned out to be thankful with his decision the previous night in contacting Lambo so he wouldn't have had to sleep alone his first night in Marina. If he had awoken the next morning in this situation alone, his anxiety probably would have up scaled more so than it had. No, of course he wasn't relaxed with a chain and steel ball attached to his ankle. And being ushered here and there among the many other prisoners. ]

[ That made him definitely uncomfortable in itself, having to be around so many people he didn't know. It was also unsettling for the small child to see that no one had similar furred ears and tail like he did. How strange. Sure, he had already met a few people who did not or had never had them, but it was still weird. That morning having sat in the cafeteria with the others, absently poking and stirring at his food but never taking a bite, Ritsuka had wordlessly looked around. It looked as if there had been some other children or teenagers, everyone seemed to be a good few inches or more taller than himself. He was pretty short for his age even. But even they didn't have the same feline-esque appendages that he had. ]

[ It wasn't uncommon for the violet-eyed child to feel alone, but he suddenly found himself feeling isolated, even among the sea of people stuck in the same situation. He felt completely unable to relate and detached; he hated it. With just a little milk, juice, or water -- whatever their drinks had been with their meals -- in his stomach, he was suddenly ushered out with the others to 'get some exercise', which he wasn't in the least interested bit in doing. ]

[ The boy had managed to find a way mostly to the back of the crowd, where he could more easily obscure himself among the taller prisoners. Still silent and keeping to himself, he hadn't noticed that a small patch of blood had appeared on the sleeve of his shirt. Of course, not noticing it, it was hard to say when. Last night? Moving through the crowd? Either way, he had rubbed his bandage under that sleeve the wrong way and reopened his wound. It was easy for him to miss, because his arm merely hurt in that dull throbbing sensation that was easy to overlook. ]

[ Staying close to the wall, he took a look around, before shifting down to sit on the floor, tail curling over his feet. ]

[Uuuuuuuugh. Sora feels so WEIRD today. Kinda laggy and weak... like he's got that horrible stomach bug again from eating a not-all-the-way-cooked chocobo burger that one time. He knew Senti said he could take stuff away from people, but Sora's never thought of his strength as an ability. Its just always been there. He wasn't hungry at breakfast, and can't carry the ball around his ankle for very long without his arms getting tired. Is this what NORMAL people feel like all the time?]

[At least their exercise for today doesn't involve running around too much. Still, its hard to get his spirits down]

I feel kind of jipped, you know? Apparently I'm not bad enough to make Senti's hate list. [He laughs and attempts to do Proud Warrior.] But this isn't too bad. It's kinda fun! And everything has really neat names and OW! Leg cramp! Leg cramp!

[ooc: backdated to last night in-game. Party log, so post and be threaded with whomever. You can post even if you're not invited, and it's optional to invitees (we'll just assume you were there even if you choose not to post)]

[a party! It seems like so long ago that she was at the Tianzi's wedding party with Lord Zero and Kallen - and now she's going to another party with them. Except this time Lord Zero is hosting it. And she'll see his face...!

She trips happily down the hall, lost in imaginations of what he might look like, and pauses at the entrance to the common room that he's holding the banquet in. There's already a crowd of people there. She looks around carefully, hoping to see someone she recognizes and wondering which one of them is Lord Zero...]

[Most people use the shower for getting clean. As a relaxing place to unwind for the day. Maybe it’s the steam, or maybe the smell of bath oils mixed in with the heat that calms the senses.

Well. Whatever it is Grell is here today to ruin it. Completely. While he is here to get clean he’s also scoping for potential victims new friends!! It just isn’t right that he hasn’t got the chance to meet everyone personally. Well. Anyone he’d consider getting close to. Can’t mean anything good for the prospect.. if he spots someone.

Some unwilling, poor unlucky and attractive bastard who’s of age.

Until that moment comes!! Showering he will be doing. And oh. Since Sentience denied him the request of showering with the other ladies he’s stuck with the men. What a loss. Not really.]
