[... At long last, after two days of impatiently waiting, she had in her hands Kaito's skateboard. Acumen had actually did it, and Gazelle was really excited! So right now, she headed straight home, jumping up the flights of stairs with her AT to save time and easily opening the apartment door with a wide swing.]

Kaito, Kaito, I'm back!? [At the very same time she calls him, she moves the skateboard behind her back, holding it there with both hands to hide it until she was ready to surprise him with it. Having heard no quick response, Gazelle moves carefully across the floor to look around to see if Kaito was there or not.]

Denizens of Marinaland, [meaningful cane pointing here,] I greet you as your new overlord. Follow me.

[He's on video, but he's going to start walking regardless. You better be following. :|]

My legend dates back to the twelfth century.

From the looks of you, you are all in serious need of conditioner and top hats, but I will excuse your poor manners for the time being. [He's had ample time to observe and judge, after all.] Now tell me, which one of you will be my wielder. Single file, one at a time. I will be inspecting your lapels for quality assurance. The nicer the lapels, the more capable the man.

[He flicks his own, for emphasis.]
[ Event: Summer Solstice Festival ]
29 June 2011 at 12:23 pm
[ Around noon, the robots that had been swarming the beach scatter, leaving a transformed landscape in their wakes. There are volleyball nets set up in the sand, along with colorful umbrellas and blankets beneath them. Part of the water has been sectioned off for water polo, while inflatable rafts in fanciful shapes are ready for use in the open area.

Ringing the beach are food stands serving street and festival foods: chin chin, takoyaki and taiyaki, aloo tikki, sabikh, empanada, hot dogs, ice cream and shaved ice, and suchlike. There is one stand where a robot serves an alcoholic punch not completely unlike sangria. Several of the other stands also serve non-alcoholic drinks. Clean up robots zoom from place to place, picking up garbage. ]
The 120th Day
20 June 2011 at 05:27 pm
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.

[Ice-cream! She loved it. Loved it a lot. Maybe you've noticed? Yesterday when the ice-cream parlor opened, Gazelle magically appeared from seemly no where thrice (morning, afternoon, and the evening) with one goal in mind: to try each flavor.]

[And again today. Only she was even more set on her goal because Gazelle didn't usually mix well with patience and it was starting to seem like she was going no where with trying every ice-cream there was in the shop. So with a cone in one hand and the scoop in the other, she is currently working on adding to her already dangerous tower of six differently colored scoops of ice-cream, ignoring anything and everything else going on in the background at the moment.]

[ If you pay attention to the network, you'll see there's an adorable little kid smiling at you! |3 ] Hello Marina inmates-- how are you today?

I was thinking it would be fun to check out the new skating place, but rather than go alone, I thought it would be much more fun if I invited someone to go with me. So! Does anyone want to go skating with me?

Oh! We could also go to the Ramen place after skating! And then we could go to the ice-cream place and... [ramble ramble~]

[The video flickers on to reveal Sebastian bending over and placing something on a long table. Once he's standing it is easy to see that the table is nearly completely filled with foods of all different types, both fancy and common. His attention is focused on both the camera and some place that's out of the camera's view - he takes his attention from that for a moment, though to address the camera with a smile.]

Good morning, everyone. How are you all? You will have to forgive my interruption to your day, especially to those newcomers who are most certainly distressed at their current situation. I do hope you all will grow accustomed quickly and find comfort in knowing that this is hardly the worst place you could find yourself. Perhaps you will find some comfort in what I am about to say.

[He moves the camera a little so that the focus is more on the food than himself, though he's still visible in the corner of the shot.]

I would like to invite anyone who has yet to eat their morning meal to the Phantomhive mansion in sector five. It seems that Young Master has taken his leave from the prison and so I have made too much food to simply allow it to go to waste. This isn't only for the people who have only arrived today, of course; those who have been here for a longer period of time are most certainly welcome as well. There should be enough food here for everyone who decided to join me.

((OOC: Might be a little slow since I'm doing this from my phone, but I really wanted to put this up.))

[New kid on the block happens to be shouting loud enough for those around to hear. And those listening in on their devices too.]

DON’T TOUCH ME! I ordered you to maintain a distance so why aren't you maintaining it?! If you come any closer, I'll end your very existence! --What the hell are you, anyway?

... I said STOP! Stupid thing, are you hard of hearing?!

[There appears to be a sixteen-year-old boy shouting and pointing at one of Marina's fine, upstanding bots! ... Who looks like it just wants to do its job around the dining hall and usher the loud boy out of the way.]

[It's dark here. The water all around is difficult to see through, but it's possible from the light from a moon that can't be seen, except for a few dark patches. Despite being underwater, breathing is still easy. Should you panic and try to swim to the surface, it's covered in ice. Breaking through is impossible, even though it doesn't seem very thick.

The teen whose dream this is hasn't bothered with trying to escape. He's distracted by the cold and the very heavy scent around him. Those darker patches of water? Aren't water. It's blood, fresh and a lot of it which is taking it's time to disperse.

Lind lets his body hang in the water, both hands near his head. Eyes are tight shut, trying to block out the dream. But he can't, not with the sharp smell of blood bothering him and the feeling of water all around him. It's a memory he hates, that he doesn't want to remember. He's shivering violently, but not moving aside from that. He can't open his eyes, he can't try to find a way out. He's too afraid that he'll find the rest of this memory, of finding her dead...

He grits his teeth, trying not to remember that. Have to block out the memory, had to make it stop...]

[PM is seated at her desk. Just barely on screen, Castell can be seen chilling out and nibbling a bit of thawed shrimp. He's also inexplicably wearing a damp lobster-sized kerchief around his upper torso segment.] Greetings, everyone! I am the Peregrine Mendicant, the post master of the Marina Asylum Postal Service. If you have not heard of us yet, please stop by sometime!

Er, but that is not the point of this video. We need volunteers. It is not a daily job so much as one for emergencies or busy days! In exchange, you will receive an extremely flattering uniform and the prestige and pride that come with knowing you are serving a higher cause.

I only require that you are reliable and trustworthy. [Narrowing her eyes, her generally sweet and kind voice takes on a slight edge.] Violating the sacred trust between the postal worker and her recipients is a punishable offense. [And then, brightly and smiling again!] Is anyone interested?

[Event] Night of Floating Lanterns
20 May 2011 at 08:18 pm
[It starts with one light at first, lifting itself from a roof nearest the beach--a solitary lantern glowing and drifting away on the light breeze. From one come many, several burning glows bursting to life and rising up above the trees and the buildings, lanterns of all shapes and sizes floating along like a river of lights. They bob and weave around each other, lightly bumping to change their directions, similar to stars high up near the apex of the dome, the waters below sparkling from the glow.

At the beach there are several tables where inmates may receive a lantern of their own to light and send on its way into the sky, joining the others as they burn through the night.]


[The lanterns are all around the dome, but they will eventually make their way to floating above the waters at the beach. Feel free to see them just about anywhere outdoors! If you want the full effect, check out the full scene from Tangled.]

[Anyone who looks toward Sector 0 might find something is different today. Maybe it's that the tower has been freshly cleaned, or that the clock is a little off, who knows? Or maybe it's that young person swing around it like a May Pole on bright gold rope.

Oh, did someone think that was rope? No, that's her hair. She is having the time of her life though, so don't distract her...not too much, anyway.]

[Calling all lllllladies! And you other people too. Timcanpy is a magical golem belonging to one Allen Walker and created by one Cross Marian and he has been sulking for a while now! His boy has a new best friend (man's best friend, in fact) and there is only so much clinging to Cross that a golem can do. Plus, new people have arrived, and that is exciting. Tim wants to meet all those new people.]

[So here is your chance to strike up a rapport with a little animated gold ball with wings! Timcanpy likes the ladies best, but he will accept petting, food, and attention from just about anyone.]

[Kaito didn't normally go on... dates. At all. Luckily he wasn't a complete moron and the concept wasn't all that difficult to figure out, so this evening seemed as good as any to take a certain special lady out.]

[Movies and cute things? Fuck that. He leaned against the front of the dojo with a large bag slung on his shoulder and a couple of kid-sized baseball bats in his hands. A little early from the time he'd given Gazelle to meet up (since he'd wanted to give all the places another look over), but he didn't mind waiting.]

[The beach isn't a place he visits often, but on one of his night-time wanderings he's found himself here. No doubt because Akito had been here earlier from what he'd felt. The little one was annoyed at Kaito. Unusual, but in this case understandable.

Lind rests on the sand, watching the water. He's idly wondering whether or not it'd end up with his neck broken to ride on it, what with the waves. You can tell a storm rider's bored when he's thinking about something that dangerous.

Hm...]

[Uncharacteristically, Lacus appears with her hair pulled back with a kerchief, a smudge of dust on one cheek. Her usual smile, however, is beaming away.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you're having a good day.

I just wanted to tell everyone that Acumen has installed a new section to the Education Center. [She shifts the camera around, to what is clearly a workshop. Those from worlds with cars will clearly recognize four tires in a stack to one side. The rest of the floor is covered with neatly organized pieces of a classic car that is entirely dismantled.]

Dean, I hope we can have fun putting this together! Anyone who wants to learn about cars can observe the progress too, of course.

[The camera refocuses on her smiling face.] And I'm pleased to let everyone know that Neil and the haros and I have been working hard, and the church should open the day after tomorrow. If anyone has any additional suggestions for denominations that should be represented, please do contact me.

[A certain sad demon king is pushing noodles around his bowl at the ramen stand. Joshua would probably be the first one to say something about wasting perfectly good ramen.

If he was here anymore.

But he's not. Neither is Josak. He couldn't even find Midori earlier when he was going to let her know something about baseball. Wolfram still won't talk to him. And Conrad...

He'll just push these noodles a little more.]

--I can't believe they're celebrating Holi. [He's kind of thrilled about it, and laughs.]

Holi is a festival of colors. I'm not sure if there's religious significance to it or not, other than that it's for spring, but in India people would throw colorful liquid or powder on passersby. And if you say to them, "Pardon me, but it's Holi," they're supposed to forgive you.

It's a lot of fun, if you can relax enough for it. If not... [sly] maybe you should stay indoors today?
