[Entering the shelter and wandering, Muraki finds himself very amused by all of the activity on the communicator network. So many people sound so surprised and there is a flurry of activity. Things never get too boring in Marina.

So far he has remained away from others, but really he doesn't see the point of doing so. He may find something--or someone--to entertain himself with soon enough.]

[It was time.

The pieces were quickly taking their places on the board, drawn by the irresistible pull of the Purebloods that orchestrated this little game. It was ever the same amongst his kind, each master playing some game within a game, and it was something that Rido excelled at, even here.

The inhabitants were calling for blood, retribution for the thing called Hatsuharu’s death. It was ridiculous just how bent up they were getting over such a trivial matter. But with Rido in such a weakened state, it was something he couldn’t ignore. There was time to deal with them later once this whole annoyance was over with, once he’d given them what they wanted. Maybe then he could have room to breathe.

Sitting back, Rido propped his feet up on the metal bar that separated the front row of theater seats from the main screen. The large room was as still as the crypt, the flat white screen devoid of the life that commonly played about on its surface. Yet the Pureblood could only feel an eager anticipation to see just how things would play out.]

Soon, very soon our wait will be over with.

[A slow smile crept on his face, and he called out to the others that awaited his signal.]

Both of you, come here. I’d like to have a few words before the excitement begins.

[ooc: So that everyone involved in the Rido Hunt can participate and interact during the event, I have split up the thread into team areas to respond. You can tag into any of team threads, but the main battle thread is reserved for Kaname and Rido only. (And for the arrival of your team, please tag into your own Team thread initially.)

Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions.]

[It has been somewhat annoying, all of this running, being the prey instead of the hunter, but Muraki still finds himself more amused than he has been the entire time since he arrived here in this prison. He is not one who takes doing nothing, blandly complying to the rule and playing the role of the good inmate for too long.

But it's gone on too long, and thanks to Rido's little pet, they know that the hunting parties are shortly on their way. But Muraki does not intend to let himself be caught.

For some time now, he has been lounging in the bedroom of the little apartment they have taken as they own for now--storing up his energy to prepare for what may come--as Rido spends quality time with the boy in the living room. But he's bored and it amuses him to see Rido playing with the blond. Getting up, he makes his way out of the room and toward the living room area.

He shall see how things turn out with all of this and what moves will be for his own benefit.]

[Rido sits amidst the shadows of what looks like some sort of waiting area. Tall potted plants decorate the corner, and a couple of small tables rest on either side of the couch on which he is seated. The area is quiet, only occasionally transmitting the sounds of faint voices or footsteps in the background. Yet Rido’s body is relaxed, leaning back and tapping his fingers on the arm of the couch.

Even through the dim lighting of the recessed area, it’s quite obvious from the expression on the man’s face that he’s growing bored.

But it’s the sound of someone approaching that breaks the monotony of the scene, and his miscolored eyes are drawn to the footfalls like a moth to the flame. His mouth pulls into a slow smile, and he speaks, raising his hand to the person off screen.]

Hey, you. Come here.

Event Description
The following event is completely optional. Some of the criminal have put together a haunted house in Sector 4: Park. The house is made up of a large tent with eerie glowing lights, sounds, and rough silhouettes visible through the tent fabric. The entire area has low mist on the ground. On the front of the tent is a sign that states in big white letters “Haunted House” with a large opening leading inside.

Event Mechanics
Your characters will be able to move from room to room in the house, though you must go through each room in order to reach the end. Each room has a different description and event going on inside of managed by a player. Characters may interact with the rooms as they see fit, and the writer for the room will manage effects and descriptions on behalf of their room.

As for organization: Make a comment for every room you want to interact with. In the header of each comment, write the room number (e.g. [Action - Room 2])
Outside of that, enjoy the descriptions, interact, and have fun!

( Enter the Haunted House )

Oh, hey, I just wanted to thank Muraki for helping me when I was a kid. Sorry I wasted so much of your time. It isn't like my brother is actually here. And sorry I just fell asleep like that! I guess I was just really tired.

It's too bad I didn't have my communicator on yesterday. I wonder what you were all like as kids.

Nooooow, I jut have to figure out what to be for Halloween! Any ideas? I already know what you are going to say, Josh.

[ Terminal has been working all morning to erect the tent for the Haunted House tonight. With the help of two bots, he has manged it to get it ready to be decorated. As the tent rises to its full grandeur, Terminal smiles and turns on his communicator. ]

This message is for the Halloween Committee. I'm happy to announce that the house has been setup in the park for tonight. All your requested supplies is here also, and since we are all adults, I'll trust you all to make your own preparations. I'll be here most of the day setting up my area if you need to talk with me.

[He wonders why he can't find his older brother. Shouri is always there. Too much a lot of the time! So, why is he gone now? Was it something he did?

Yuuri manages to find his way outside and is just staring up at the dome. Maybe he got lost at a theme park, but why can't he remember going to one?]


(OOC: He does NOT have a communicator on, so if your character is wearing one, you can understand him, but he can't understand you unless it is in Japanese. He also understands some English. He does NOT know the demon language. hee~ Please tell me what language your character speaks if you tag, because I fail at fandoms for reals.)

[ Terminal sits just outside the Butterfly Pavilion waiting for the Halloween committee to show up. He is clutching several papers and leans against one if the pillars as he waits. ]

[ While Terminal is eating his light lunch and planning his haunted house in a couple days, he turns on his communicator. ]

Good day denizens of Marina Asylum, this is Terminal. I thought I would just let everyone know that the plans for my haunted house are coming along nicely. I do need one more room to be decorated by a person, the scarier the better. If you are interested, please contact me, I'm sure everyone will enjoy the haunted house, so let's do our best.

(OOC: I'm having Terminal design a haunted house for the holloween festival coming up in a couple days in game. The festival will be taking place (correct me if I am wrong Sentence) the week of Halloween, so Oct 26 - Nov 1, and the haunted house will open that night Oct 31-Nov 1. Contribution to this event won't be too difficult, and will involve running a thread where you RP your haunted house "room" instead of your character. It should be lots of fun!)

[ooc: event log! it's a party at the beach and everyone's invited. aside from decorations, the beach is filled with games, like volleyball and badminton, tools for making sandcastles, etc. there's also various food stands manned by robots, accompanied with benches and tables: fruit and barbecue, freezers with snowcones and ice cream, and ramen, of course. the dolphins are out and frisky, willing to play with inflatable toys to get attention from the partygoers. and later, they'll be fireworks!]

[and, of course, off in the shade of the park, the stand with the mini-discs.]

[comment to this post to establish what you're doing at the beach, and then comment to other people's comments to socialize with them, etc. most of you know the drill! if you want to do something in your own thread, you're also welcome]

Good morning, criminals! Today is the twenty-ninth day of the third generation, and as inmate Fletcher and some others have noticed, it has been almost a month since the first of you arrived here! More of you have been freed today, in acknowledgment of your good behavior and/or minor crimes. A momentous date indeed, and I think that something should be done to commemorate it.

Do any of you have suggestions as to how we might celebrate? A beach party, or a theme party; something along those lines? Halloween is encroaching, so there will already be costumes in a few days' time.

Inmate Ichiru Kiryuu, I require a word with you, when you have the opportunity. Please bear in mind that filters are not currently available.

[Once the ball and chain were off and her powers were restored, Kitty spent the better part of her day intangible. It was freeing. At least as freeing as possible in a prison. She was getting a little tired of the solitary lifestyle though. And it might be worthwhile to know a little about the others. Who knows, they could be useful.]

Seems like if we are all going to live together, we should get to know each other, hmm?

So, roll call.

Who is here? What's your deal? Where are you from? What do you do? What's a food that starts with the first letter of your name? You know, standard fare.

( leading up to the voice call... )

Good afternoon [the voice sounds light, peaceful, even a little curious], I am in need of some assistance. I am not quite certain how I have come to be here, but hope that someone will be able to provide me with more information about this facility.

[There's a moment of silence, as if he is distracted, or perhaps thinking to himself.]

Or even a guide perhaps? I would be most grateful to the person willing to facilitate me in becoming better acquainted with these new surroundings. The corridors all look the same, very hard to navigate through.
