Don't you all think that Acumen would be a lot nicer if it were in love~?

[After watering her tree and having breakfast, Nakama sets out for the clothing store. She's managed to pull together decent outfits for the past couple of days, but there's no denying that her wardrobe is mostly jeans and plain t-shirts, and that just doesn't cut it for her anymore. As self-conscious and reluctant to stand out as she is, she just feels like a girl with a boyfriend should try a little harder.

It never occurs to her, of course, that Ushiro apparently had no problem with her dressing like that when he fell for her.

Anyway, she's there at the dress rack, flipping aimlessly through sundresses with a frown on her face. Why are so many of them tank-top style? She doesn't like showing that much skin...]

[Around noon - video intended to be both voice and private, double-fail.]

[Nakama accidentally hits the video button instead of voice, and when her face appears, it's badly bruised and cut. The worst of the bruising is around her eye and throat.]

Ushiro... could you feed Miko for me today? I dunno when I'll be home.

((ooc: all those who wanted to make over Nakama, step right up! Nena thread will be retconned to be last chronologically.))

Good morning, inmates. It is the 115th day of the third generation. Today, the weather will continue to be warm and clear.

Tonight, at the request of inmate Rapunzel, the dome will have a floating lantern display. Please enjoy it. Any attempt to tamper with the lanterns is prohibited.

Inmates Sherlock Holmes and Shiki Ryougi, the items you requested are available by the entrance to Sector 0.

[So, bright and early, Tobias is in the Defense Force headquarters, perched on a desk.]

[Yep. Perched. He's in bird form right now, watching the door. He's really pissed off at Acumen right now, so he'll just be in bird form for a while to sulk.]

[Never mind that birds can't really pull off facial expressions that well.]

[hasn't been to bed yet, and looking a little less put together than he'd like. the frown would seem common enough, but if you really look -- ]

[let's just say, do not bother him without a damn good reason.]

[luckily for innocent bystanders he's most interested in one person, and she'd better be awake or get there fast. he's in no mood for hold-ups.]

((OOC: perfectly willing to thread with anyone at all! But yeah he's in a Mood. Idiot Apprentice's fault.))

[Kitten in your face, Marina.]

No, leave that alone.

[And now that kitten is rolled over on its back, eyeing you - yes, you - from Anya's kitchen counter. Does the distant sound of sizzling food over the stove make him nervous? Not one bit.

From Anya, to the feed:]

His name is Dagonet. [And now the feed cuts! Goodbye.]

[ decided that she's spending the day on the couch, in her pajamas, looking out the window. she's been doing well keeping her spirits up this last week, but... it's been a week. and the barrier's still up. it's a bit harder to pretend everything's fine today. ]

[Rarity is BEAMING. Clearly, something amazing has happened.]

I had something more formal planned, but I'm so excited I just can't contain it! I have finally crafted my first dress for humans! It took a lot of research, and I know how simple it is, but I think it's a perfect contrast to our surroundings!

[Steps aside, revealing a red dress on a dress form.]

I call it "Fire Flowers Under Waves".

Floating lantern display? I haven't seen one of those before. Has anyone here seen them?
