[If you know him, you can probably hear a little bit of the confusion his voice, even before he really admits to it. At least... Subaru tries to sound composed. Here he is, alone in a particular sector of the dome, frowning just slightly though his tone is otherwise calm.]

That's strange. I don't know if I'm sure how I ended up here...

Kamui? [Not fretting, he hopes. But, ah--

The view shows a big better and you there's the fish at the koi pond, the vampire sitting down on a bench near the edge. He laughs a little, just very softly now.]

I'm sorry. It seems I've been assigned to keep the fish some company.

An underwater prison, is that what this is? Well that's a new one. [He sounds a bit amused at that]

I'm not sure if it's an improvement from where I last was, maybe this is supposed to be a bit less dramatic than being told the world was destroyed.

[ She doesn't exactly MEAN to access the network, but Ruby does just that while she's stalking anyone she recognizes through it. It's a few seconds before she realizes that she's broadcasting, and she's got two choices. Disconnect and disappear like a cockroach, or... ]

Seriously. Who do I have to maim to get a decent order of fries around here? Oh, also? I'll be needing my knife back.

[ Aaand. Then she makes sure to get the hell out of where she was just a moment ago. Which means you might find her anywhere at all in the sectors. Especially because she's been having a hard time BAMFing in and out and a harder time getting any kind of blocking spell to work. ]


[ ooc: anything goes, put her anywhere, track her down, stick a bag over her head and give her a good beating, whatever! she's canonly just arrived at the police station in jus in bello, fyi. ]

You know, after spending a few hours among you lovely people?

I'm so proud!

[Skip, flail. He is a very happy Masaomi Kida.]

Hot chicks, hot food, not one of you has been lost to the seedy prison underbelly! It's truly amazing!

Does anyone know what kind of food is best for kids?

[Anyone near the convenience store can find Kamui standing outside and studying the storefront curiously. He knows that his favorite snacks when he was a kid were fruit, but he's not really sure what would appeal to other kids any more. Better to ask, he suspects, than guess blindly and risk wasting food.]

[On the screen is someone who may or may not be a familiar face to some- perhaps a bit softer, jawline less pronounced. But in general, they could pass off as twins. Is it--?]

Can't say I've ever been to such a nice-looking prison before. No jail cells and this little thing? You shouldn't have.

[Thankfully these devices are easy to operate....

The camera gets a fuller picture- her dress is the same as well. What...happened?]

So who do I get to thank personally for the invite?

[ooc | Genderswap AU-verse!Yuri. Haunt topped meeee :(]

[ Evening approached and however comfortable the library was, Kaname could not spend the whole of his stay researching. Not when there was no guarantee on the morrow that he would return to his world. And Yuuki was here and had been for some time. That thought alone, disturbed him, although he took some comfort in Zero's presence. He was the guard dog Kaname had crafted specifically for her after all.

Sliding out of his chair, Kaname slowly turned his communicator device on. No more hiding. He had the answers he needed. If he was to stay here indefinitely, he must be prepared for the worst. If Zero or Yuuki were aware of what he had done, what he planned to do… it would be best to pretend. He had lived long enough to be adept in at least that. ]</small>

[ Private to Yuuki ]

Yuuki, you've been remiss. You haven't once stopped to greet me. Did you not sense me nearby?

(( ooc: Current canon Kaname pretending to be just after time!skip Kaname. He's been in the library all day and he'll be making his way home to Sector 4 after this call. Feel free to intercept him at anytime or anywhere. ))

Huh? This isn't the-- [She is just reading the welcome message right now, and that stops her from finishing of her actual sentence]

So this place really is a prison?

This is really weird compared to where I last was, but you know, strangely enough this place does seem familiar. That isn't weird, is it?

[There's a man in a rumbled raincoat walking through the dome with his head down, not paying attention to where he is going. He's a man on a mission. He walks over to the door of one of the public buildings and opens it]

I know, I know. I'm late. My car broke down on the freeway and I had to walk the rest of way here. My wife has her sister over and I just didn't get any sleep.

[Care to interrupt him and tell him where he is?]

(ooc: Lt. Columbo from the murder mystery show "Columbo". Feel free for the encounter to be anywhere)

[all that shows up on screen is the lower half of a smiling face, shoulders, and a gloved hand tapping at the screen in a rhythmic pattern. low notes are being hummed, a more common lullaby song.

after a few seconds, the humming and tapping trails off.]



It's time to wake up.




((ooc: hlkjdfa i hope i'm doing this right. ALAS, TO NOTE, this is.. the Fourteenth.. before he betrays the Earl. /sunglasses.

EDIT: i'm asleep!))
