[Nothing much to see here - just Cielo sitting out in front of his apartment in sector three and playing with his cat, Sera. (Making good use of the catnip mouse recently made for him.)

Certain unwanted posters of Kefka have been removed from the entire complex and eaten (hey, less mess), though a couple wadded up ones have been left on the ground to give the cat something else to bat at.]


((ooc: Just wanted to let everyone know I hadn't vanished off the face of the earth. ^^;))

_{[Guess who is excited for school? Nana is. She is so excited she is going to explode.]}

Nana can't believe that school is starting tomorrow! Isn't that amazing? Nana's never been to school before but it sounds so very, very nice. They will teach letters and reading to Nana. It will be so fun!

Who is teaching letters and reading? Nana would really, really like to learn and will be very, very good in class and do everything the teacher says to do! Will there be a class for drawing? Nana has only tried it once or twice, but it would be neat to learn what more colors are and...and...other drawing things.

Umm...Nana has a question though. What is a 'curriculum'? Nana heard this word but isn't sure what it means. Is it important for school? Do people need special things to go to school? Does school have rules? Nana doesn't want to get in trouble by accident!

[Dressed and ready for her day, Yuuki walks silently along one of the many well-kept roads within the dome, her long hair trailing lightly behind her as it stirs in the smooth, light currents of the air. There's a parasol with her, but it's folded up and at her side, for the time being. Alone for once it's a rare sight. She rarely leaves the familiar property surrounding the manor unless within the company of someone else. Brown gaze wide and intent, she stares a little anxiously at her surroundings.

With her eyes casting furtively this way and that she forces herself to take a deep breath, before attempting to smooth away the troubled expression on her face. Nothing might really look out of place from a distance, or to a stranger, either. But she's obviously uncomfortable. She walks like this for a while, before a loud noise echoes off to her right. Visibly flinching, Yuuki pausing in the street. Turning toward the direction of the noise, a bot scurries past her and she quickly realizes that it is nothing more than one of the computer created robots going about their daily business. Inhaling a little shakily, her small fingers reflexively curl into her skirt, before she squeezes her eyes shut, head tilting down.]

This is just foolish.

[After looking up a recipe, Hiling headed to the convenience store with a list of ingredients. She was going to try cooking again. It seemed simple enough and she wanted to have something ready for Ribbons once he got out of the hospital. She also made a note to get some fresh flowers for their dining room table.

As she neared her destination, her thoughts drifted to the conversations she had these past few days. It didn't do much good to dwell on such things, but it was hard to put out of her mind. Hopefully shopping would prove to be a sufficient distraction.]

voice.

Hey, Buffy! I got an early start on the browsing but I'm by the swimsuit store if you're still up for the shopping trip.

action | open.

[ Shiki woke up early, so she's been strolling around the shopping area since early morning. If you see her, you may notice her occasionally taking out a notebook and scribbling something in it and/or using a tape measure to measure parts of clothing. And sometimes, she might just be gaa-gaa'ing over how cute a certain top or accessory is. Feel free to question her on her sanity! ]

[Rayflo has things to do today! Even if he's doing it all at a leisurely pace. The bitemarks have been covered up, but he's still tired. First he's going to Orihime's to pick up his gifts, then to the convenience store for some nice things for Maria--including a cute collar--and then he'll be going to the clothing store to pick out a cute dress for Alessa for her first day of classes! But he also has something else he needs to do which is why he has his communicator set on the network as he walks with Maria sitting on his shoulder.]

Hmm...seeing as we have a nice new mail service, does that mean we can send something to just about anyone?

Anyone mind admitting any letters or presents they intend to send? You don't have to say to who.~

{OOC: If you want to see Rayflo at any of these specific places or in between places, just say so in the header of the comment or be specific in your tag. Thanks!}

(ooc it had to happen eventually lol)

[It has only been one full day, but Uther is already at his breaking point. His temper is finally getting the better of him. He stands firm when a guard starts trying to herd him after breakfast.]

And what if I refuse? Do you intend to force me?

[He doesn't have his robes, but his royal bearing and typical Uther intimidation stance, the one he usually uses with Merlin when he's scolding him, are present.]

I've had enough of this! I will not submit to any more work!

[said with a growl]

Good afternoon. Ah, I do hope I'm not interrupting anyone's luncheon.

[ a polite pause, as if to give you time to finish chewing, daub your mouth with a napkin, or otherwise prepare to be interrupted. then, so mild it almost doesn't sound careful or calculated: ]

I have a question, you see; merely an item of curiosity, and of course answering is completely optional. [ ♥ ] What would each of you call your... station in life? Class, occupation -- title, if any? Nationality? Species? Sex? Gender? And so on.

...I'll start, shall I? My name is Jade Curtiss, my class is baron, my occupation is military in nature, my title is colonel, and I hail from the Malkuth Empire. Human, male, and masculine.

[ cheerfully ] And I do apologize to the prison's more senior inmates for the almost certain redundancy.
