[Jennifer smooths a wrinkle out of her skirt, tugging at her waistband and patting at her hair. She may have rushed a bit to get to Shirley's and Nana's house, but she couldn't help it! This was the first time she'll be meeting her newly adopted daughter face to face.]

[asdfkjl; SO NERVOUS!]

[Deep, calming breathes. Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out. Knocking now...]

Nana? It's Jennifer!

<sub>[Nana's sitting on her bed, brushing a few strands of pink hair out of her equally pink eyes, touching her horns gently before setting her hands down on her lap. It always feels weird to touch things when she can't feel them directly because of her limbs being fake.

She seems a little nervous, if not lost, but she focuses when she looks at the camera and asks her question.]</sub>

Um...Nana was wondering...

Well...Nana heard that a school is a place where people go to learn things and Nana doesn't really...know a lot of things so Nana was wondering...

Can anyone go to school? Would Nana be allowed to? Nana would really like to go to school!

_{[ooc: OTL EDITED BECAUSE I'M RETARDED AND DIDN'T SEE THE POST ABOUT A SCHOOL ALREADY hurrrrr otl self /headdesks]}

I'm sorry, really, I'm so sorry for...well, I wasn't avoiding it. Just...there were things I had to do and I wanted a chance to see the Asylum first and...

Nana, was it? I'll go on that date with you today if you like.

[He wasn't hearing Wolfram on the network at all which wasn't so surprising really. He didn't seem to like it very much, but he also wasn't running into him or even catching sight of him anywhere. It was strange and wrong. Conrad mentioned giving him time, didn't he? How much time?

It was just so strange not to have him...there.]

Murata? Where are you?

...I forgot to filter that, didn't I? Sorry, everybody who isn't Murata.

[One step. Another step. One step. Another step.

He's not even going to bother searching for a room, there is no point in finding one when he is not going to be able to sleep. He had let anger get the worst out of him and he was now paying the consequences of his actions. If he hadn't been so impulsive, his communicator wouldn't have broken, and he'd be able to call Sora.

If he hadn't been so emotional, he wouldn't have said those things. But he couldn't help himself. The moment he saw Yuuri all that welled up anger just exploded inside him. He doesn't regret it, he had wanted to find an excuse to stop seeing that black haired boy; the faster Wolfram would forget Yuuri as a romantic interest, the better for both of them. However, he does regrets having involved Conrad and worst of all, having offended their King with words that Wolfram was well aware would affect Conrad.

Yet he didn't hesitate to say them out loud.

His feet are dragging against the soft grass. No, he is not tired. The blond is sore, empty, lost. If only... he had place to go to. He has no right to feel sadness or anger, after all it was his fault he had single-handedly pushed away every single person he treasured.

He is the only one to be blamed.

Walking amidst the blinding darkness is both annoying and dangerous. Sitting down, he hugs his legs and lets his face rest atop of them.]

Location: Somewhere around sector 4

{ooc: If someone is awake and nearby, please feel free to poke the emo kid.}

EDIT: {ooc 2: Even though he broke his communicator, the communicator didn't recieved that much damage. So, let's assume that Wolf's communicator is still able to translate for him. All the other functions- Ability to follow network announcements, map, etc etc- are gone until he's able to get a new communicator from Senti.}

<sub>[Ever since Yuuki told Nana that her Papa was bad, she's felt sad and upset. Papa loved Nana. If he didn't, he wouldn't have given her new arms and legs and he wouldn't have been nice to her or given her his purple neck string. Papa loved Nana - Nana was sure of the fact...

Her voice sounds quiet when she speaks, almost sad. There's a bit of a quiver to it as well.]</sub>

Um...for the people here who have a Papa, what is your Papa like?

It's probably best to keep everyone aware, and I don't find this to be a bad thing at all. Rido Kuran has vanished from the dome. I'm sure there are certain individuals who already know... [She pauses, knowing that likely Zero, and perhaps the other hunters would already be up to date with this] But I thought that people might be happy to know. At the very least Marina is a little bit more safe. I can't foresee him coming back either. [She might sound a bit confident at that.]

Probably a bit more sadly, though...Hanabusa Aidou has disappeared as well. It's a good thing, if he returned home like I did. I'm sure he's a lot happier this way. [She sounds a bit sad but accepting because she's happy for her friend. He's free.] If anyone had any plans with him I'll apologize on his behalf. He won't be able to keep those engagements.

[Yuuri has been looking over his clothes to wear tonight. It's Josh's fault really. He's the one who even brought up what he'd be wearing. It's not like it's a big deal. They're both boys so it isn't even like it's a real date or anything.

Maybe he should wear the blue one. Josh likes blue, doesn't he?

Totally doesn't matter though!

His eyes catch on the wrapped box Yuuki had given him the day before. He hate some of the chocolate covered strawberries, but somehow he forgot to open it. Well, he should do that! What could it be? The ribbon falls away. The wrapping paper slides off...]

GAAAAAAAH!?!

Y-Yuuki! You can't just give someone something like this for Valentine's Day!!!

[He holds up a pair of non-royal underwear and then immediately drops it again.]

So let ε < 0...

So now that I've been here long enough. [She arrived pretty much RIGHT before the date auction yesterday, if that can be considered long.] I thought it might be important to introduce myself.

My name is Haruhi Suzumiya and I have won dates with several of you.

What I am interested in, is people who are not normal humans. Everyone here is apparently from different dimensions and home worlds, which in itself is interesting but I am wanting to know a little more about each of you.

Species

Occupation

The most interesting thing about you!

Please provide them now!

_{[The auction had been a bit overwhelming for Nana who didn't really understand exactly what was going on, but it seemed fun enough and she'd had a great time. Now it was just Akito and herself left to keep one another company. So far Akito had proven to be just as nice as Yuuri was and he'd promised to have a bath with Nana which was exciting in its own right.]}

Akito...um, where should we have our bath? _{[Nana was all smiles and sweetness this evening.]}

Should we have it at Shirley's bath or your bath?

[A podium and stage, decorated with pink and red, has been set up outside the shelter. Here's where the action happens...!]


[Everyone who wants to RP out their auction should make a comment here, describing what they're wearing and how they're feeling/acting in the comment. Don't say anything. You may optionally add context relative to the timing of the bidding, like mention that he's impatient for character X to go up, or is weirded out because character Y just bought someone else and she was supposed to buy him, or is anxious because she's the first one up there, etc.

[Then Minako responds with patter commentary, attempting to sell your character based on what she knows/has been told. She will put [Bidding] in the subject line. Respond to Minako's comments to bid. Just like in a real auction, the bid that is the highest or the fastest will be the one accepted!

[Please go up in increments of no more than 300 sentis at a time, and remember that 1500 sentis is a reasonable price for a date. Indicate in bold in brackets if you have OOC plans, like, "[He was confident he would win]" or "[She was starting to worry she didn't have enough cash]" or "[The thought of losing didn't even cross his mind]". It is common courtesy not to interfere with established plans; if you want to do something else, talk to the mun whose intentions interfere with yours.

[But try not to choreograph things too extensively. You have the right to decide what you want to happen to your character, but it's fun to let these things be spontaneous, and you don't have the right to tell other people their characters aren't allowed to do something IC just because it interferes with your extensively scripted plans.

[Minako will declare the winner of each auction, largely at her discretion, and then the bidding will be over.

[People may also start their own threads off the original comment with the biddee with subject lines like [Before the Bidding] or [After the Bidding] to interact with the person up for auction. Try not to do post-bidding threads until after the bidding is concluded -- for obvious reasons!]

Um..._{[She sounds a bit embarrassed asking this question, but she really wants to know!]}

Can someone explain to Nana what...'money' is? What's it for? Is it special? What does Nana do with it?

[Takami does not reveal his name, but just believes that it is necessary to ask this simple question. He disguises his voice by speaking at a lower pitch than he usually does, although he is sure that he is fallible, it doesn't hurt to gather some information.]

Is killing justifiable? Please justify your claim regarding said matter.

If anyone is curious as to why I am asking, I am merely gathering data. If you do not wish to have your thoughts viewed by anyone else, I am capable of making conversations private. The technology here is slightly more enhanced than mine back home, but it is manageable.

[And here is a happy Sakamoto, who waves to everyone through the camera, grinning as always.]

It seems like people here get very cranky about Valentine's Day! There's no reason to be bitter about it, ahaha! It's just a day about love and sex and chocolate, ahahaha! There's no reason to be unhappy!

And, hey, Sentience, and whoever else is out there! We should have a party, or something, to celebrate! Because people need to remember that it's a fun holiday, and not something that people should be grouchy about, haha!

[A special day for those in love, huh.

Sighing, he continues scribbling with his pencil colors. The demon can be seen near the park, sitting on the soft green grass, working on an exquisite masterpiece, the kind that Wolfram likes (liked to do?) for a certain black haired demon king. Maybe it's better to stay away from everyone today, given how they'd rub their noses on matters that don't concern them. Wolfram can specially picture his mother and Miko-san asking a lot of annoying questions or doing horrible suggestions like wearing matching dresses or something like that. Shudder.

Maybe he shouldn't be doing a gift for Yuuri. What are they now, anyway? They are still technically engaged but... Wolfram knows he said he'd love Yuuri forever, but he is starting to believe he might not be able to keep his promise. There is no point in keeping up the 'fiancé' charade is Yuuri is not willing to love him back.

Ugh, stupid Yuuri, go die in a horrible pit of fire. I hate you. I love you. I want to kill you. I want you to love me. I want to be away from you, yet I can't bring myself to leave your side.

Confused and annoyed, he keeps on pouring bits of his soul and emotions onto the paper.]

[Hansel and Gretel have been released for dinner - with a circle of bots surrounding them, that is. They're eagerly eating their meal, chatting amicably amongst themselves and glancing around with naked curiosity.

Anyone who approaches them will see identical twins with white-blonde hair and blue eyes, almost angelic-looking; they wear old-fashioned black clothes, giving them the look of Victorian children attending a funeral. Would anyone like to come say hello?]

[Yes, the twins are up to no good. The camera comes on to show them dressed in their own attire for this little holiday. But after a moment of just showing off the fabric, Kaoru speaks! Or is it Hikaru?~]

I still think ours look the best.~

[And then might look sliiiightly more devilish. Clearly up to no good, these two.]

Nee, Lelouch and Cornelia?~

[Grinning.~]

We're taking the princess for today.~

[And Miss Euphie? Expect an epic kidnapping shortly after this feed dies!]

So, where would a guy go to get porn around here?

They seem to have caught up with us, Sister dear.

[There's a jingling sound, followed by repeated metallic scraping and finally a sleepy feminine murmur.]

Oh, Brother dear, they have! Verrochio won't be happy.

What does that matter, Sister dear? All that matters to me is our happiness.

Are you happy, Brother dear? I'm not. I don't like being punished. It makes me want to cry. And these! [More jingling.] It's positively inhuman, Brother dear.

Que sera sera, Sister dear. We will have to find our own happiness here. All that matters is that we're together.

[A soft, wet smacking sound.]

I do love you, Brother dear.

And I love you, Sister dear. Now, how do you suppose we shall find someone to play with us, with the door sealed shut?

[They're not yet aware that their headsets are broadcasting all this to the other inmates.]
