Test, 1... 2... 3...

[ Wheeler’s voice comes clearly across the communicators. He takes a moment to get use to the device since he never had to use something like this other than when he used to play with walkie-talkies as a kid. ]

Well, looks like I'm in prison now, fun. I'm Wheeler, a Leo if it matters, nice to meet all of you. Looks like I need a lawyer or something. Oh and when did Australia get an underwater prison?

[ static as he turns on the headset, and then a long silence. if a silence can sound irritated, this one does. finally: ]

The whole Noah family had better be here with us.

[ there is no change in inflection as he states this next part, because in Kanda's mind he isn't threatening anyone -- he's just stating a fact. ]

If they aren't, I'll tear this dome apart.

[The next task in this extraordinarily busy day is both amusing and nostalgic. Conrad had the fortune to see Gwendal bake his animal cookies a few times -- hopefully he remembered how. It hadn't been a common occurrence but it was one that stood out. Having no intention of breaking his promise to try and make a batch, Conrad spends a large part of the day experimenting with animal shapes, colors, and frosting. A good many of them come out quite well, if needing some tweaking in the design. Soon it's a matter of dedication to getting it right...]

[The result is that there are far more cookies than Conrad needs for tonight. He sets a small bag of the better-looking ones aside for Yuuri and Wolfram to share, but the rest shouldn't go to waste.]

Anyone who would like some, there are several batches of cookies in the kitchen. Please help yourselves.

[Anyone who comes in will find Conrad putting the final touches on the last batch, surrounded by several plates of sugar cookies that look sort of like this and this (because he had to make a dragon).]
