[Diva stood on top of her tower, looking down on the dome and drawn instinctively to the darkness at the center. It looked out of place, all dark and dingy and lacking the lights she usually viewed from her window. She'd been out most of the day, but that just gave her fresh energy now as she paced the roof, enjoying the less stagnant air of the dome at large.

She had been cooped up far too long.

Singing, Diva walked a fine line along the roofing tiles, dancing slightly as she swayed, and not caring if she gave anyone who might see her a heart attack or two. Such things were hardly her concern, when all she wanted was to do as she pleased. Surely no one would protest~

Smiling, Diva flung at her hands, spinning, still singing, and laughing just a little in the pauses. She would most certainly need to do this again~]

((ooc: Throwing this up now rather then later to help accommodate my slowatus which will last through to Saturday. Matt, Aka, we'll ping you when we need you to come in, but I would highly doubt we'll be ready for you before my slowatus ends anyway.))

Hello! Goodbye! Don't cry over spilled milk! Stay in school!

I received a couple packages the other day, one of them from a my~ster~ious person. Uwah, mysterious person, I must be ever so special to receive something from you! Maybe it was someone who wanted to be my Valentine, but was too shy to come forward. How cute. Be still my heart!

Yawn. Is the soap opera over yet? If you ask me, everyone could use more special effects and sci fi! Put on some dramatic background music!

Let's play a game called, "Guess how many people are going to come scold me!"

It's okay if you want to scold me. I don't mind~. It's not my energy being put to waste, after all! To be frank, it flatters me when people care enough to try, as if it will really make a difference~.

It won't.


Eh, Josak. I guess I should say... Thank you.

Oh this is great, I have all the parts I need! [Gleeing muchly as he scatters AT parts all across the floor of his room]

Alexis-chan~! I have all the parts to make another pair of AT for you!

I even have enough to tune Agito's AT some more...though I doubt I could make another Regalia. [Hums]

Anyway, we can start whenever you like~


((OOC: Action open to housemates if they want))

[ after the meeting, Suzaku walks home slowly, deep in thought. they got some things done, but it hadn't gone as smoothly as he would have liked. Zero's idea had seemed like -- such a good thing, he doesn't understand why there's so much resistance. and these are the good ones, the ones they'd all agreed would be best to talk to first... the next meeting will be harder.

he's surprised when he looks up to find himself in front of his house -- their house -- and has a tiny flood of relief. it's late, but he's pretty sure Lelouch won't be asleep yet. maybe -- they could have a cup of tea together. or probably coffee, in Lelouch's case, in spite of the lateness. there is a faint smile on his lips as he goes up the walk and opens the door. ]

[It shouldn't have been a problem. Miranda's tried to cook new things before. But she'd been distracted getting plates and feeding Lee, and she's totally forgotten to turn the burner down. So when she added butter to it, all that greeted her was smoke.

Not a problem! She's used to that. So she added more butter. And then the bread and cheese and--oh dear it shouldn't be cooking this fast should?

No, it's sticking to the pan! Where did all this smoke come from? WHY WON'T IT UNSTICK FROM THE PAN?

Miranda managed to turn the eye off, but the smoke is still coming and she's starting to cough from all of it. She rushes into the small living room and picks up Lee from where he's sitting nervously in the doorway and hurries out the front door, smoke following her out it.]

{OOC: Action open to anyone who would be in the apartment complex and she doesn't have her communicator on yet.}

[private to AXEL]

Hey-- [a beat of pause. there's just the tiniest bit of awkward, but he brushes it off] Are you doing anything for Xion's birthday?



[and, a little while later, OPEN but FILTERED FROM Xion]

Xion's birthday is today! I wanted to know if any of her friends wanted to help me put together a party for her tonight. You don't have to help, of course; all of her friends can come. --And anyone who feels like wishing her a happy birthday, I guess.

I've never tried to put together a party before, so I could use any help I can get. Does anyone have any advice?

Oh-- and don't tell her I told you!

[Conan's making the rounds of the dome, trying to work around the rolling blackouts. He wants to have an accurate mental image of everywhere; maps are useful, but they don't tell you what the people are like, or whether there's a hiding spot between this bush and that bench, or exactly how many steps there are in a building. These are things he needs to know if he's going to have any luck dealing with the real criminals in here.]

[He's currently enjoying the gardens of section 4; he doesn't plan on spending too much time here, since it'll require a more thorough exploration than he can give it right now if he wants to get to the rest of the sections today. But it's a nice place, and he's debating picking up something for lunch to eat while he's here.]

When does the sewing club meet? I know we have one, but I haven't managed to go yet!

[Xion's in Sector 4, playing fetch with Mars. She is a whole year old now, so she's pretty excited! Not even rolling blackouts can bother her.]

[Keiichi is derping around the pet cafe. He's decided that this is probably one of his favorite places in the asylum so far, just because of all the cute animals. He's having a good time fluffing and fussing over all of them pretty equally, but he seems particularly attached to an adorably fluffy Eevee. He's sitting there with her in his lap, absently rubbing behind one of her ears.]

I wonder where you're from, little one. You're not like much of anything back home, except maybe a fox, but I don't think foxes would exactly make good pets...

[This meeting of Team Free Will has been convened by Sam Winchester to discuss the matter of Gabriel arriving at Marina. All parties present. Opening remarks will begin.]

So... Anyone else not want to find out which archangel might show up next?


(OOC: There will be SPOILERS for Supernatural season 5 and before in comments.)

[ Private each to: Akito, Jennifer, Sakura, Tamaki ]
Um, hi! [ That was a good way to start off the call, right? ] I'm sorry I've been so scarce lately, I got deathly sick and I've been laying low for a while.

I promise I'm better now -- better than ever, actually! I'll be trying to catch up on things I've missed out on. [ Sheepish. ] I hope no one worried too much...

[ Private to Miranda ]
[ He's been holding onto this book for a while now, and it wasn't until he pulled the Bible out to pack it that he noticed a familiar scent all over it, practically embedded in the cover and trapped within the pages.

This wasn't Ana, but-- ] Miranda? Hi! Are you busy today? I... think I have something that I need to return to you.

(ooc: I'm fine with hand-waving any conversations if I didn't poke you about this post specifically! Ashton is just feeling a little private with everything going on...)

[Alma is wandering the different sectors, looking for at apartments, houses, all the interesting places to live. Camping outside had been okay, and he'd had lots of time to think. But now he's ready to put things in order.]

What are the best places to live around here? The apartments are nice, but I haven't lived in a house yet. What are they like?

Castiel, thanks for letting me stay at your place for so long. [A little embarrassed since he hadn't been back there for days.] Want to help me look for a new place?
