[Duo was settling some things for a day into Kohran's shelter room. He hadn't packed a lot, just enough to last 24 hours before heading back to his own place. He didn't want to take up too much room. After all, they were only going to be there for the rest of the day, and then overnight, right?

Of course, he felt a little bad and had packed a little bit in the way of a hangover remedy. He was still feeling a little bit of last night's drinking, but not what Kohran had to be feeling. He was, however, remarkably impressed by her determination for getting back to the shelter and all that without complaining much over headaches and other things of the sort.]

{OOC: Thread with Kohran is closed. Feel free to catch Duo wandering around the shelter otherwise.}

[So they're being herded into the Shelter, no getting around that. But just when you get "more" access to your limited freedom, it gets cut down even further. But at least the ball and chain are gone. That's the good thing... if only Shaun hadn't disappeared too. It's unnerving and also kind of lonely.

Solo. She can do this. Nothing new.

With really only three possessions, she's taking a tour around the Shelter to map out the place a little. Her headphones around her neck (because she hasn't rigged the device to play her music for her just yet,) singing out her playlist at max volume, she's got her laptop under one arm and her snowboard under the other. Totally normal--annnnd she's watching where she swings it... most of the time.

Feel free to run into her in the kitchen or common room, or anywhere in between as she tries to open a package of twinkies with her front teeth.]


[Later: voice/video]

I kinda guessed there wasn't going to be any sort of internet here, but it's still a strange disconnect. No cute kitten videos, no news updates.

[Total disconnect from a world she used to live in, the information she used to soak up... well, she's managed before.] I gotta find a movie to watch...

Oh, and hey Yuta! I uh, [here-- shaky camera work, she turns it to her snowboard propped against the wall of her chosen Shelter room] got my board!

Kinda bad timing though, yeah? I'll show you how to board though when we get out, like I promised. [and camera off!]

[For a moment, there's nothing but white noise. Cloud's not good at prepared speaking. He'd rather just say things as they need to be said, and otherwise keep his silence. He feels like he needs to say something, now, though, so he finally speaks up.]

Thanks. For letting me stay with you while the shelter was being cleaned. I owe you one.

[ooc: Closed to everyone Cloud stayed with last game day.]

[Jane had never believed in luck before, but she couldn't help but feel that someone or something was desperately trying to prove her wrong. She wasn't a fan of the ball and chain either, and alternating between trying to carry the iron ball and dragging it with her shackled ankle all day was wearing on her. Just a little, she told herself. Sure, she wasn't very strong to begin with, and she was already at the point of needing to stop for a moment every once in a while for the sake of her aching muscles, but she still forced a pout to her face.]

Man~! I just know that this stupid thing is going to give me a bruise...

[Jane shrugged in the most dramatic way she could manage. This was her way of coping, apparently.]

[ There wasn't much for to bring along to the Shelter and all managed to fit in a large enough satchel. On top of two sets of essential clothes and personal effects, she had two books and some stationery.

Once she had settled into a room, she thought about the previous night's events -- from dear familiar faces and the new and promises to keep. And so she makes a private call to one Tyki Mikk (and quietly hoping it was late enough in the morning)... ]

Hello-- good morning, Mr Mikk. This is Sasha. I was wondering if I may have a moment of your time.
 

[ You can hear the sound of rustling and rummaging around. Finally, Toph decides to express her displeasure to the network. ]

I don't see why everything had to be cleaned. It was fine just like it was! Now I can't find anything.

[Naoya sighs, looking a little uncomfortable with his knees pulled up to his chest. He looks into the camera and raises an eyebrow. He's been thinking about it again for a while… and he's curious what others think.]

They say blood is thicker than water, but is it too thick to kill? Brothers, sisters… even parents. When is it acceptable to kill those who are these kinds of relations?

[Should someone want to confront him about this directly, Naoya can be found in one of the lounges, sitting on the couch.]
