[It's been a little while since Red found out that Vio had left the prison. He told himself that he should be happy that Vio got to go back home to the others. It's not like Red doesn't have any other friends here. There's Ms. Jennifer, the rest of his housemates, his penpal, and even another Princess Zelda! Still, this is the first time he's been without any of the other Links since the drawing of the Four Sword, and he's finally reached the point where he can't ignore how much he misses them.

He's currently crouched on the front steps of Jennifer's house, his knees drawn up and his crossed arms resting upon them. He's been there for most of the morning and will probably be there for a good part of the afternoon unless someone comes by to cheer him up.]

[Today's load of mail is extremely satisfying for PM, who is humming tunelessly under her breath as she goes about her route. She really has no reason to feel bad today, even if a few problems continue to go unsolved. After all, the post office and the pen pal systems are moving along splendidly! If this keeps up, she could even start training an apprentice. She decides to cap off a perfect route with a delicious dinner at the pizza parlor.]

[Penpal sign-up and master list is right here! Mail submissions for Day 85 go here!]

Wha-

[Hello Marina, have one extremely offended pint-sized dragon.]

Prison?! You gotta be kidding me! I ain't no criminal! I didn't even commit any of those crimes you got listed! Well I did kinda break the Great Stone Dragon but that ain't the point! And I ain't assaulted nobody. 'n fact, I oughta be gettin' a medal. Bitin' butts is unhygenic and nasty.

[Scowls.] Mulan better not be doin' anything stupid without me. That girl's gonna get herself sliced in half if she ain't careful.

And what's this thing on my head? A spoon?

((OOC: SO LATE. OTL We'll say that he was curled up in a ball with a massive headache yesterday, so this is his first day fully awake and out and about.))

  NEW PENPAL MATCH-UPS
  
• Yuuri & Alphonse

[ It was a quieter day, overall. The monster attack last night caused a stir, including one in PM's temper. It's all well and good to be told to leave things up to the Defense Force, but she resents the forced passivity. Given she's reached another dead end in her quest for a new sword, she pushes her frustration to the back and sets out on her early evening route, focusing on her hopes for the pen pal system and the burning, holy light of mail. ]

[Pen pal sign-ups are still ongoing. Mail submissions for Day 84 go here!]

Oh where, oh where has my little Sebastian gone? Oh where, oh where could he be? Sebastian~? I have a new camera and want to take some sexy shots of you! Where are you? Hiding again? Don’t deprive me of that beautiful face and those stunning eyes! Oh, just thinking about it—

—Sebastian? Okay, this isn’t funny! Come out, come out, wherever you are! You know I’ll find you! I’ll search to the end of the earth and the bottom of the sea, Sebastian dearest!

...wait a minute. [A lengthy pause. Let's see, what do we have here? A dome that looks like it's underwater, a communicator, and - the next sound heard will be Grell screeching.]

NO!!! Not again! I've been good, I swear! I've been doing almost all my assignments and reporting almost every incident! I... but... why!? Why am I here again!? This isn't fair!!! That bastard William did this, didn't he? William with his cold eyes and sexy gaze...

[Sob]

[ the first thing that stands out is his face. he's very, very pale - beautiful even - except it's marred by his cold expression. in contrast, there's an amused lilt to his tone, effectively masking his irritation and annoyance ]

And here I was expecting garlic and crosses. Extra points for location though. Restraint...not so much. But I'm sure the warden will have plenty of time to improve -- as well as plenty of people to practice on.

[ a heavy rustle as he inspects the chain and the basket. conversationally- ] Though it should remember...He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.

[ pensive, taut silence and he chuckles. ] Fitting. With that in mind... [ trails off. he's obviously not going to finish that sentence. shifts ]

I probably shouldn't be bothering, but I thought it would be rude to go on unannounced. Seeing as I have enough time on hand, anyone care to introduce themselves?

[[sitting on one of the couches in the shelter! just...chilling...8)]]

[Red bursts into the bedroom that he shares with Vio looking very excited. Jennifer follows right behind him.]

Vio! Vio! Guess what? Ms. Jennifer is taking us to go see a movie!

[Pearl is in Jennifer's kitchen, poring over a children's cookbook. she's been meaning to do something to thank Miss Jennifer for letting her and Mystic Maya move in, and everyone likes cookies.]

[...unfortunately, Pearl's never cooked before; the only food she really knows how to prepare is salads. but it's a children's cookbook, so it can't be too hard, right?]

Floh...ur...? I don't know what that is... Ah, but I'm sure whatever it is, it's labeled... [but try as Pearl might, she can't find it; the flour is labeled, but not prominently, and so Pearl misses it.]

...um...I could come back to that one. Let's see...brown soo-gar? Ah...I don't know what that is either. Maybe I should ask someone for help... [but she doesn't want Miss Jennifer to find out. it's supposed to be a surprise!]

(OOC: Open to residents of Jennifer's house and anyone else who has a good reason to be in her kitchen.)

[After seeing Nunnally with wings the other day, Toothless wants to try to fly again even more. He's running around the beach, leaping into the air and taking off before he either 1) lands in a heap, 2) crashes into the water, or 3) glides back down to the ground with a thump. He looks frustrated and not very happy since he can't ever stay off the ground for long. Occasionally he'll shoot up a blue fireball at the dome to let off some steam. The balls always dissipate and don't do any damage to it.]

[OOC: Anyone who wanted to work up towards their chara flying with Toothless using his harness, this post is for you!]

[Look who's normal again! Well, as close to normal as she usually is, given her unnatural enthusiasm for the mail, and the pastel-striped outfit she calls a mail uniform.] Greetings and good morning, Marina Asylum. I am the Peregrine Mendicant, post master and mail carrier for the Marina Asylum Postal Service!

I have two announcements. The first: I have revised the rules so anonymous packages will still be allowed, but only if registered with me in person. This is to better guarantee everyone's safety while protecting our privacy!

[Clearing her throat dramatically before giving the camera a toothy but friendly little smile.] Secondly, I am proud to announce the beginning of our pen pal match-up service! It is an excellent way to get to know someone new, to practice your letter-writing skills, and to experience the joys of the post. Please send me your name and address through a private filter if you wish to participate, and you will receive the contact information of your pen pal at the end of the day.

Are there any questions?

Hi~!! Good morning everyone. I've been told I'm free to build an extension onto my house to help accommodate all my guests, but I have to do the work myself.

Does anyone know how to remodel a house or how to do electrical wiring or... really anything? I'm afraid I don't know anything about this sort of thing, but I'm willing to learn and help as I can!

[ Asuka's sitting in the cafeteria, pushing back her food and staring out in the distance. Today had been so weird. Funny that she had spent the whole of yesterday complaining about boredom...and then something like this just had to come up. She's not sure how to deal with everyone's mutations and super powers -- some were pretty funny, others not so much. As for the people who didn't get powers, like her, well -- they were the lucky ones. Obviously. ]

[ She picks up her fork and uses the tines to squish each and every piece of her sandwich flat down on the plate. Then she picks up her glass of soda, turns it upside down, and drowns her shredded sandwich.]


[[ooc: Here is Asuka's power! As the restrictions say: level of attraction is totally up to you! You can make your char feel only the slightest hint of friendliness or a stalkery type of admiration. anything goes! /o/]]

[Al does not care that he is still a little sick with a cold. As soon as Acumen says that the playground is done in the morning announcements, he is going out to inspect it.

There is a tire swing.

It's not long before Al's swinging back and forth, letting out a whoop and having the time of his life, all smiles.]

Guys, guys, come play! This is awesome!

[Guess who rolled out of bed this morning and found himself bouncing off the floor and into the ceiling? That's right. Red was absolutely positively thrilled when he found out that he could literally bounce off the walls. So excited that he felt the need to show his new 'power' to the rest of Marina.]

Hey, everyone! Look what I can do!

[He shouts this as he bounces all over the living room of Jennifer's house.]

( SURPRISE )

[...Wait for it. Wait for it.]

What the hell!?

((OOC: Xion's powers have caused quite a stir and caused Axel's powers to react. B| Mazeltoff.))

[He waits until it is late enough for the beach to be practically empty. Sitting down near a table he grabs a pen and a piece of paper and lets his thoughts flow into the paper. They are supposed to write something for those whom they miss dearly; he misses his family, yet the letter he is writing is not for Gwendal. Not for his mother, nor for Greta. It’s for a person he has not seen in a long time.]



After he is done writing the letter, he folds the piece of paper neatly and carefully attaches it to the little bamboo raft. Carrying it to the water, glazy emerald eyes watch over the floating raft, looking how small waves make the letter slowly disappear into the darkness of the night.]
-------
{ooc: Feel free to come across a sad!Wolfram.~ guy needs luv and lots of hugs :< However, the contents of the letter will be available to no one but Yuuri. Also, Haunt, if Yuuri comes across the letter or not, that’s entirely up to you.}

Edit: SO, Aka is a big airhead and somehow she managed to hallucinate the event was the river version of the Tanabata (in which wishes are sent afloat in bambo pieces.) I'm so sorry! Can we pretend Wolfie misheard the instructions or something? I-I'm so embarrassed. And so sorry ;A;

COME ON, MR. MONGOOSE!

[GIR's screen is wobbly and shaky at first while dirt and patches of grass go flying through the air and soon it points down to show a nice little hole in the ground at the park. Then--watch watch watch!--a nice sprinkled donut goes right inside it before he covers it up with dirt all over again.

He claps, impressed, and then turns so that you'll be able to see him and the...bunch of other holes in the ground behind him.]

I'm growin' breakfast trees!

[SMILE! Is that an egg poking out from the dirt? A piece of toast? Who knows. Meanwhile Mr. Mongoose--a grey and white puff of kitten is trotting behind GIR, sniffling curiously at the holes.]

[Fai had actually suggested that he do this yesterday, but Red had gotten distracted and forgot. So he's doing it now.]

Princess Zelda!! Princess Zelda? Can you hear me? Are you there?

[Remembering that others can see this too,]

Does anyone know where I can find Princess Zelda?

((OOC: To avoid muncest, I'm saying that Zelda is either in the shower or resting in her room without her communicator on. Basically, she can't hear anything on the network and no one will be able to find her either.))

[It's been far too quiet for Q's liking. That one fellow with the green hair had everyone in a tizzy when he told them they were virgins. Well, if they like sex so much...]

Who wants to have prison sex?

( private )
Once upon a time there used to be two girls. One was a puppet and a doll and thought nothing for herself except when it came to one person. Naturally that kind of attitude is disgusting, so -- it's no wonder that the second girl, the smarter and better one, hated her guts. The second girl lived out her life every day thinking that the other was just a dumb, pointless waste of space that should've stopped breathing the day she was born.

Then one day they both end up stuck in one place. Together. The second girl doesn't want anything to do with the puppet, but some dumb and random things happen and they're forced to get along. The puppet girl isn't a puppet girl anymore. She's a normal girl that the other could've -- maybe learned to get along with.

But then she disappears and the second girl realizes that everything was just a total waste of her time.

Moral of the story is -- don't spend time on worthless things or you'll feel like an idiot.

The end.
