[It's just nighttime out. Sundown. Around the park in Sector four there's a creature lurking in the dark shade of the greenery. On the outside he's a hunter, a predator looking for his prey. On the inside is the taciturn man that the City usually sees, desperately fighting to regain the control he usually maintains. One bad day and this is what he gets. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. The wolf however, has been imprisoned inside of him for too long and is looking for a good spot of violence and a bite to eat. He's out for blood and he won't stop until that need is met.]


ooc: Backdated to Friday night because I am an idiot and got my dates (this weekend and next weekend) messed up.

[MOMO is out walking with her puppy this evening. They're enjoying the warmer weather, and have just eaten dinner, so it's time for puppy's night time walk before bed.

Care to run into them?]

A coffee shop now? [See that smirk, Marina? That's an Angel trying to hide his displeasure.] I suppose coffee must be somehow vital to the health of Lilim, since entertainment apparently isn't a good enough reason to bring something in.

[He's lurking around outside the shop, but not going in. Any other curious prisoners come to check out the coffee shop?]

((ooc: getting in some CR before a plot knocks him out for the better part of the day. if you'd like to talk to him today, come say hi!))

[Really, everything was going more smoothly than planned. Stalking the rooftops a little over an hour before the party was set to start had shown that Hokuto had managed to drag both Kamui and Subaru out of their house as requested. Really, getting both Subaru and Kamui out of their house for long enough had been the only problematic point in his plan. Now that it was taken care of, all he had to do was make sure they were well out of sight, and jump down to head across the way to their house. The front door to the house wasn't even locked. It was almost too easy.]

[Fuuma didn't bother setting anything too fancy up. He just tied a few balloons to the legs of the kitchen table, and taped a "Happy Birthday!" banner up on the wall - good luck getting that down later Kamui and Subaru, it's pretty obvious a tall person put it up there. He figured the party would be enough of an excess in Kamui's mind, so there was no point in going overboard with decorations.]

[Food, on the other hand, he had tried getting a bit fancier with. Not like he had anything better to do here. There's two red velvet cakes with butter-cream icing set out, a large quantity of vanilla ice cream, and an equally large fruit platter. It's rather obvious who the food was catered to, and Fuuma honestly didn't care that much if there was someone who hated all of it. Of course by the time people start showing up, he'll be gone anyways, so there won't be anyone to make complaints to.]


((OOC: It's Kamui's birthday! If you got an invite or word of mouth from someone who got an invite (AKA you just want your character to join in for great justice), feel free to tag in. This Fuuma isn't going to be at the party at all, so mingle with other people, bug Kamui, eat cake, and all that jazz.))

[Two days in Marina have easily been enough to convince Kisame that he's going to have to adjust to this new place, that his old habits simply won't work here. Itachi is so different--everything is so different here, it's disconcerting. He needs..... he needs a lot of things, honestly. Samehada being one of the most important ones. But he knows that he needs a goal, or at least a job. Something to work towards, something to focus on. Something to dedicate his time and energy to, because dammit, his whole life has been spent in service in some form or another, he simply doesn't know how to stop by now. If he can't help instate a new world order--if he can't exist in the one place he's ever truly belonged in, with the only people that have ever really felt like true comrades, and have a hand in creating and shaping the world of truth that he so longs for.....] 

[.....Then well, he supposes the least he can do is help make this world he's been forced into a more tolerable place to be. He knows he doesn't belong here, not in a place of justice and benevolence, heroism and protection, not with people who have goodness and humanity in their heart, who can really do their best to keep things safe and peaceful. He doesn't belong here, and he doesn't belong with them, and this isn't what he's wanted to do with his life.... but what else can he do? What else can he possibly do with himself? He just doesn't know anymore. He doesn't know, and no matter how much he smiles and laughs and gallavants around, no matter how firmly he tries to clutch the tattered remains of a bond that can never be again, the fact remains that he's still been cast adrift to be pushed along by the tide, without even oars or rudder or rigging. Maybe the currents will pull him somewhere useful, maybe they won't--but he has to try, because the possibility of becoming becalmed is absolutely, chillingly unthinkable. (If sharks stop moving, they die. Still water becomes stagnant. A broken, blunted tool with noone to use it and nothing to use it for is worse than nothing at all.)] 

[Thanks to Kitty's advice, at least, he knows where to go and who to ask for. Kisame sets out soon after breakfast, and finds the headquarters without trouble; he raps briskly on the door before strolling in, with a spring in his step and a jaunty smile firmly in place. After all, this is a public building, right? He takes the time to look around as he comes in, tone upbeat even at the early hour.] 

Anybody home? 

[He's not entirely sure how early the people who work here come in, but he'd like to think someone should be here by now..... And if not, he can always ramble around and take a good look at the place while he finds Suzaku or Lacus' office and makes himself at home to wait. Either way, he'll get something useful out of the deal.]

Good morning, inmates. It is the 120th day of the third generation.

There is a new building in Sector 5, near the pizza and ice cream shops. There is now a coffee shop, per the request of inmate Danielle Harrington.

Inmate Hazama, please report to the hospital to retrieve your body. Inmate Orihime Inoue, the item you requested may be retrieved from the Defense Force.

[ Good morning people of Marina! You are greeted this fine day with one John Egbert snickering in the background and a screen full of a sleeping Vriska's face. Enjoy the veiw. It's about to go away and get infinitely funnier. This might be priceless. Maybe not. ]

VRISKA!

[Away in the Land of Sleep and Bad Dreams Vriska was quite content in her slumber (even if it did cause her to kick out at whatever happened to be near her).

That is until John screams at her. She jumps up, hair mussed and eyes wide.] What- What?!

[ And then he loses it, giggling. His bed is a mess because of her, though. ]

Hehehehe! Oh man, Vriska. You should see yourself right now. It's priceless!

[Rubs at her face with a hand and pushes her hair back from her eyes.] Shut up, John!

[Looks around, frowning.] Was I asleep?

[ The camera shakes a little. John is nodding. ] Yeah. You pretty much came in here about something then just I don't know. Crashed. Woke up on the floor about an hour ago.

But nevermind that. It's movie time!

[Narrows her eyes at him.] ... Is that thing on?

...Maybe!

Oh my God turn it off!!!!!!!! [Reaches for it.]

No way! This is like Candid Camera goodness here! [ Leans away! ]

Give it to me, John! [Still trying to grab it from him!]

Hey! Careful I'm going to - [ Thud and the camera turns off. ]

[Victory >:::: )]

[Something is in the air! That would be the tempting smell of fresh brewed coffee in the new establishment in Sector 5. The drinks are hot, the atmosphere relaxing -- come have a drink and a chat, won't you?]

((OOC: this is a mingle-style post for anyone who wants to check out the coffee shop! like 4 of my kids are interested, so I thought one BIG post for everyone who wants to stop by would work best! Tag around, tag each other, have fun!))

((OOC 2~: Dani is in the shop, behind the counter, making coffee for all! If you want to order that's the thread to hit up. <3 ))

[when the feed opens up, you won't immediately see the speaker-- just a map of the dome, with a new locaton circled in green highlighter.]

Acumen gave me a coffee shop. It's here. [a chewed nail taps the highlighter circle.]

If you like coffee, you should come. I make good stuff. Open to everyone. Ponies and other animals, too.

If you guys can have coffee.




[[ooc: there is a mingling post here, so feel free to head over there for coffee! dani will field any questions, give blank looks to sizes that aren't small/medium/large, and enjoy good coffee. tags will be slow for awhile, going to the beach!]]
