Hey -- hello? What is this? [she looks around, confused] I was right in the middle of something very important! [she picks up the pamphlet nearby, and starts to read is as quick as she can] This isn't a very good -- prison? But I just did this already! [unintelligible sound of OUTRAGE] And just who are you calling a threat to humanity!? [frantically reading the pamphlet as she speaks. not good not good.

this is. well. she snaps her attention back to the camera, eyes narrow] You can't keep me here! I've escaped from one of these before, y'know, and it was underground that time! [she sticks her tongue out. JUST YOU WAIT, ACUMEN, SHE'LL SHOW YOU.

well, maybe later. she's run out of steam. she screws the paper up and chucks the stupid thing behind her, before she sinks to the ground, head down to her knees and her hands tangled in her hair. defeated for the moment] ...I could really do with a hug right now.

[Alice is sitting in the front doorway to Casa de vi Britannia, careful to keep her filthy tennis shoes outside as she takes them off. The plan? Scout out the house to make sure everything is fine, get a quick shower, check around outside the house, and then stalk the communications to identify potential new threats.

Even though she remembers the months in which she had gotten used to her lack of Geass, she can't help but feel she needs to overcompensate.

But those are some pretty heavy thoughts to be contending with right then. Hopefully, it'll be all magical unicorns for the rest of the day.]



((OOC: Feel free to catch her at any point in her routine, housemates, or anybody else can for when she's outside being all paranoid.))

[Alma is wandering around Sector 2 with an intent look on his face and a heavy black bag on his shoulder. He keeps looking, but he hasn't found it yet. Kaito said he couldn't miss it, so why hasn't he found it. He has less than ten minutes left!

Finally he decides the only thing he can do is ask for help. So he turns on his communicator looking very harried and rushed.]

Uh...does anyone know where the yellow-bricked road is in Sector 2? I can't find it and I don't have a lot of time!

{OOC: Kaito is an ass and Alma is gullible, yes.}

Good morning boys and girls! We do hope you've slept well! [because they haven't slept at all.] We have a proposition for you, hmm? [Have a large, eerily grinning face in your video, Marina!]

How many of you more rambunctious sorts would be interested in a fight club? An all out brawl between yourself and another! Everyone gets a turn! The only rules are no disabling injuries, and when someone surrenders, you back off!

We're still working out the kinks, but for now, we'd like to just gather a headcount! Don't all pipe up at once! There'll be plenty of action for everyone! [they laugh]

[The feed opens with Alto's very, very angry face. At first glance - sometimes even at second, third, and fourth glances - he appears very effeminate. Luckily, though, his voice is fairly masculine.]

You've got to be kidding me! Of course this kind of stupid thing would happen just when I don't need it.

Acumen. If you're going to imprison me like this, we're going to discuss it first. Can you hear me? Say something!

Just when I-

[A frustrated sigh, and he rips off the communicator]

And get these chains off me!

[ooc | Edit: Oh, right, and he's landed somewhere in Sector 1 and is just...RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT.]

Excuse me-- [She smiles into the camera, a bright and innocent smile.]

I know it's a little rude to ask, and you don't have to answer me if you wouldn't like, but could you tell me about the person you love?

[ in the park with a book, but right now he's just lying on his back in the middle of one of the grassy areas, arms behind his head and looking up at the "sky" and enjoying the "sunshine". has flipped his eyepiece away, so it's just the audio translator that picks up his musings. ]

Sort of strange, really, t'think that back home, life's moving right along without us. [ has wondered, sometimes, if his replacement's even Bookman's apprentice anymore, what with all those fraud charges the system's got him in for. if his replacement's incapable of lying, then he has his doubts. what if he's just a straight-up Exorcist, or just... doing something completely different. being "Lavi" forever. ]

... also, the hell is with the talking ponies? [ just in case anyone gets the strange idea he has the capacity to be serious about anything. ]

It’s to my understanding that I’ve been imprisoned in this facility. I can’t say I necessarily agree with the reasoning or methods, however... [There’s a pause, and a very quiet sigh.] I also understand that there’s little I can do at this time to fairly argue my case. I’ve read all provided information that was left here for me; whoever it is that provided this basket, I thank you. It’s already very helpful and greatly appreciated.

[There’s a small pause, as she considers the proper way to approach this next part.] Since I’m to believe this will be broadcasted to those who are here, an introduction is in order. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. Prior to arriving, I was in the middle of some important matters, most of which I presume I cannot resolve under the circumstances. However, if I was brought to this facility unjustly, I can only guess that others, some of whom I might know, are here as well. That being said, if any of you copy, please respond to me. I’d like to further discuss this as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time. [Displeased, but she cuts the feed abruptly. She’s going to carry about until she gets any sort of response.]

[Lyle sighs, sitting on the couch. The invitation to the birthday party is sitting on the table again. He's still not happy with what it said. A joint party. That was a laugh. It was all Neil's idea and he was just along for the ride. And he didn't like that.

It probably shouldn't have bothered him this much, but things were back to normal in his mind and normal meant he was getting the run over because he was technically the younger of the two (never mind that he was six years older now...). This party was just an example of that.]

The bloody jerk...

[Mami couldn't avoid the 'bots for long, and it was inevitable that they would round her up for this 'chain gang' she had both read and heard about. Unsurprisingly, she went willingly, and the feed opens up on her sitting on a table during one of her 'enrichment activities,' holding a small, white, folded paper crane in the palm of her hand]

It's inevitable that we all pay for our sins. No one is lucky enough to escape final judgement. For most of us, it just happened far sooner than we might have expected. Perhaps in some cases, too soon...

[She pokes her crane and smiles, but it's a sad one]

I can only hope the majority of you come here with no regrets. I believe that would be a far worse punishment than anything this Acumen could think up.

-- oh my, do pardon my musings. My name is Mami Tomoe. I'm new here, like so many others, and I... do look forward to meeting you all.

[After his morning workout, Ciaphas Cain changed into some civvies and ended up in the one place he has never been before: the pet cafe. Seated on a bench, he stares blankly out a window as the animals frolic around his feet with an unsettling brand of cuteness.]

[Getting the kid a pet seemed to be the best way to divert some of his attention away from breaking into Cain's room to sleep/cry on his bed, among other entirely unsavory activities. The trouble was going to be finding one that the sea troll would find appropriate, and he had a feeling Eridan was going to be extremely picky. Cain taps his mechanical fingers on his thigh and avoids eye contact with the animals. Especially the technicolor pokemon. He couldn't get out of here soon enough.]

[Action | Open]
[Welcome to a brand new Marina-specific version of the walk of shame. It's the trip one takes from the hospital back home after a "non-invasive procedure." If you were nearby you might have even seen her harmlessly slip right through the hospital wall on her way out. Sorry, no hospital gown. You'll have to imagine what that might have looked like flapping in the breeze.]

[Private | Tyki]
So, did they cut it off?

[Well, today's the day. He picked out a house, and Harry agreed to move in with him. It was a little nerve-wracking, but the only way to get over that was to plunge right into it.]

[Otoha walks over to Harry's room in the Shelter and knocks on his door.]

Harry? Are you ready?
