  NEW PENPAL MATCH-UPS
  
• Yuuri & Alphonse

[ It was a quieter day, overall. The monster attack last night caused a stir, including one in PM's temper. It's all well and good to be told to leave things up to the Defense Force, but she resents the forced passivity. Given she's reached another dead end in her quest for a new sword, she pushes her frustration to the back and sets out on her early evening route, focusing on her hopes for the pen pal system and the burning, holy light of mail. ]

[Pen pal sign-ups are still ongoing. Mail submissions for Day 84 go here!]

[In the evening, after his classes, Tsukasa heads to the library. He looks pretty nervous, and heads towards the anatomy section.]

[It takes him a little bit of browsing, but finally he finds a book on teenage puberty... for girls. Glancing around, he heads to a table in the far back part of the library, and opens up the book, starting to read.]

[This, of course, is a perfect time for anyone to bother him.]

Ahhh. So that's it, then.

[Her voice sounds very sly yet soft once she realizes where she is. A prison. Well. This certainly does interrupt her plans quite a bit, doesn't it? Maleficent releases a steady sigh once she's finished reading the message and taking note of the tasteless ball and chain attached to her ankle.]

Such a pity. I was so looking forward to reuniting with the princess. It was her birthday, after all. [Pause]

...Although. I suppose I am not wrong in assuming that there might be many princesses here already.

We simply must acquaint ourselves~

[Len woke up feeling tired and confused. He had fainted last night while waiting for help, and was now in the hospital. What were those things? Was Rin alright? Urgh... his head hurt...]

Does somebody know what happened last night? What were does things?

[Now that everything from last night is over and BB's had some time to think, he knows that being idle here isn't going to do him any good. Sure, the arcade is a blast, but after hearing about that defence force, he knows he should at least ask. After all, if any of the others arrive here, they'll probably chew him out if he doesn't!]

Soooo, guys. I heard about that Defence Force thing last night.

Anybody around that a guy can ask about it? I mean, it sounds like what I'd be doing back home anyway, and you could obviously use an awesome guy like me around. [BB doesn't boast ever, what are you saying] With all those monsters, someone who can see in the dark would be good, right?

[Sad to say guys. Zack is occupying the common room in the shelter. Up on the table is his very big sword. What's he doing? Glad you asked! It's nothing special. He's just polishing it. Funny how he doesn't really use it yet keeps it all nice, shiny, and healthy. Perhaps he's just in the habit because of the significance. If anything, he looks pretty task oriented at the moment, concentrating really hard on getting it all just right.

Zack pauses for a moment to smile and give a little wave.]

Yo! Hope some of you new guys are settling in okay.  It's pretty rough getting used to things around here the first few days.

[Rubs the back of his neck.]

Trying to start my letter for that pen pal thing. [Laughs] It's harder than I thought it would be. Dunno how she managed to do it for so long and not get a reply...

[Clearing her throat, Yuuki's voice is soft. It echoes gently on the network, not demanding or even accusatory. Just curious.]

Do you believe that...you should be here? That you, and possibly everyone else, deserves this place as a punishment?

[She has her own definite opinions, just as everyone else. She isn't here tonight to judge others for possibly having different thoughts and beliefs from herself. But-- she wants to know.]

[OOC: You can catch her on her way from the convenience store back to sector 4, or just do audio. ^^]
