[Concerned girl is concerned.]

There is a lot of sudden new people arriving today, aren't they? Well, Acumen said that he is going to fix it. Just wondering, but do you guys found anyone from your world visiting?

[Maybe the question can distract some of the madness going on here.]

So this thing is like a cellphone, oka - woah!

[A semi-familiar face peers into the communicator, blinking hard.]

This... this isn't where I'm supposed to be. Why am I under the ocean? If Loki's playing some sort of trick on me, this isn't funny.

Um... hi! Can anyone tell me where I am? My name's Jun Takashi.

[[ooc; Naoya-route Jun, essentially. /will dance around this to prevent muncest]]

[The video feed flickers on and it shows a blue-haired, red-eyed girl who looks no older than twelve years of age. She seems to be looking down at the communicator. Unlike the others however, she looks very integrated into the video display. That, or she doesn't look that... solid.]

I am in a prison within a prison.

Being punished in my own world is not enough it seems.

[The voice has a faint mechanical inflection; but it is calm and quiet. For those who see her in action, they will see a holographic display projected from a yellow haro terminal -- a haro with cat ears and tail.]


(( OOC: Here be Meister874/Hanayo from the Gundam 00 side-stories, Gundam 00P & 00F. :3 ))

Question!~

What sort of books does everyone like to read in their spare time?

I think we should have a memorial service for Itachi.

He'd hate that.

Tonight on the beach. I'm not your social director so if you want stuff bring it.

[The sun has set and the stars are back in their appropriate positions following the astronomy class. The only thing people will find set up on the beach when they arrive is a bonfire.]


(OOC: Event style for action. Specify whether it's action or voice.)

[ on the screen is a girl that looks very different from your normal human -- what with the gray skin, yellow eyes, and large fangs. though she has two large horns sticking out of her head, they aren't viewable in the -- ah, there they are, visible as she ducks her head down to wipe away... tears? it seems she's crying! ]

L-look, Tavros... I know you were having so much fun ripping clothes during laundry duty, but did you really have to rip mine? [ she raises her left arm, revealing an arm that is far from the norm. in fact, it's robotic! toward the top of the arm, it's rather apparent that the sleeve of her overshirt has been ripped, the jagged remains of what used to be a long sleeve torn and tattered. ] My precious clothing? Really? [ insert over dramatic sob right here! ] This was one of the only pieces of me I had left.

Everyone! If I were you, I would check your clothing for any obvious rips. We have a mad man on our hands. A sick and twisted fiend. He won't stop until there's some horrible lack of clothing around. I don't know why, and I don't know what's gotten into his peanut-sized brain, b-but...!

I just thought I would warn you. [ aaaand scene. ]

Whew... Another night of those monster things. I hope we don't have to worry about them again any time soon.

I wonder how long it'll take to figure out a pattern...

What do you feel makes one human?

[This is a serious question, Marina. And if you say 'biology' or 'a human soul', you will break her heart. Just to let you know.]

[ the video clicks on suddenly, with a face that's more than a little familiar... ]

Haha, I should have done this earlier...

Hey, Marina! Name's Mion Sonozaki, I arrived yesterday. It's nice to meet you guys and all that. I've been lurking around in the shadows a bit, but thought it was probably about time I introduced myself!

I haven't really looked around that much, so... anything I need to know about this place? Dangerous criminals? Best place to get lunch? I'm all ears! What do we do to pass the time while this whole misunderstanding gets sorted out?

[someone is clearly unhappy]

So those creatures returned last night. I'm assuming that Acumen is once again claiming that it's our own imaginations? My already low confidence in the new system is waning...

( There is a Rei at the beach, sitting on one of the dunes near the water. )

[She looks up suddenly and glances around - did she hear someone approaching? - then disappears back into her mind when she doesn't spy anyone there.]

[Shiiiing. Shiiiing. Shiiiing.

She's honestly not being a hero this time - she promised the two most important people to her in this prison that she wouldn't, and she's keeping her promise - but they just keep coming and although they can't hit her, they've pretty effectively blocked her from escaping. The attacks are short and sharp, so her energy isn't wearing down at all, but she knows her AT Field has a time limit.

Finally, in desperation, she dives and rolls between the legs of one of them, her AT Field narrowly blocking a whip of its tail, and bursts into a sprint. They will likely catch up and corner her again, but she's got enough adrenaline pumping through her body to get ahead for a few brief seconds. If only she can find shelter -]

[Day 74: A drastically more peaceful day, though with all the new people, she fully intends to do some PR and promotional work. Perhaps letter writing will soothe the confused and angry? But, the most important part first: the route! She's... a little skeptical about a package's sender, but she sees nothing wrong with it no matter how much she inspects it, so...]

To all our new arrivals: greetings and welcome! This is your parcel mistress, the Peregrine Mendicant. I wish to bring your attention to the existence of the Post Office, which is here to serve all your delivery needs. If you have never mailed a letter or package before, or come from a world without any postal service to speak of, please feel free to call me or come by the Post Office for more information. I look forward to meeting all of you!

[Mail submissions for Day 75 go here!]

[The feed clicks on first showing Axel wrapping a white bandage around his palm and fingers before he pulls on his leather glove again and picks up the ice cream he set down on the ledge.]

What's your reason for living?

[He sounds amused, just a little, but it doesn't exactly show on his face. He wouldn't be surprised if he gets called out for asking this, but, hey, it doesn't matter, right?

You'll find him alone on top of the clock tower, quietly, almost forlornly watching the sun set as it normally should, and rather than eat the ice cream he'd gotten for himself he's holding it over his bent knee, letting it melt and drip off of the ledge without care for whoever it could hit down below. So, hey, heads up.]



((ooc: I think he and I are both curious.))

[Anew follows Lyle through the park, near the gardens, and she takes a moment to admire the scenery -- something she hasn't done since arriving. Despite her scares with Hiling and Ribbons, this doesn't seem like a bad place. Maybe she and Lyle can find a house just like they talked about, with a kitchen and a little yard and enough room for Frederick and a pet.]

((OOC: Feel free to run into Anew and Lyle anywhere around the park and Sector 4!))

[Rei's voice sounds very flustered and decidedly exhausted when she finally contacts Tieria about their meeting today.]

Tieria-san. I am sorry I did not contact you sooner, but - there was something else that demanded my time. Would you still like to meet today?

[ She smashes the communicator against the closest solid object on hand (in this case the wall of someone's house) hard enough to turn it on, but gently enough so that it doesn't break into utter pieces in her hand. Her voice comes over the line high-pitched and angry. Not surprising for a new prisoner! ]

So -- this is it huh? This is what you've decided Misato-san? This is the decision all you NERV bastards came up with? Just because my synchro rate - just because - Oh! I get it. [ She adopts a high-pitched, mocking tone. ]

We don't need the Second Children because we have the perfect, obedient, pathetic First Children and Shinji the Hero! So lucky Asuka! You don't need to break your back saving humanity now that Shinji and Ayanami are here! And I completely agree. Who the fuck wants to work with those two dweebs? You can all go get massacred by those damn Angels for all I care. Go die and do it fast you [ and here Asuka kicks the basket ] BASTARDS!

*An image shows a newcomer peering interestedly at his surroundings. When he speaks, his voice is pleasant sounding.*

Hey, this old man's got a question. *That seems odd considering he looks like a rather brawny Celtic swordsman wearing a baldric, a leather fighting skirt and greaves.*

I know I got at all information from Acumen, but I didn't hear which Root Town this was. *murmurs to himself* Can't be a new Net Slum, it looks too nice.

*He recalls hearing something about crimes but maybe it was some kind of prank?*

[Man, she feels like she has been sleeping for a long time. Last thing she was doing was spending time with Ciel, Sebastian, and Soma, which Lizzie suddenly become his "little sister", which she has no problems with! She wiggled herself up and is sitting on her knees, her dress spread out on the floor slightly. After looking around......]

[She remembers this place! Despite it being a prison, there was good people here and she made friends. Her crimes are also still the same. Would they remember her? Lizzie turned on her communicator, as how she slightly remembers it. She and the camera looked back at each other, until she gave a smile.]

Marina? [Pause. It's a little awkward...]

Um, hello! I apologize, but I don't really have much to say right now besides i'm back, I suppose? [Laughs a little.]

[Murmuring to himself as he sits in a building full of puppies and kittens and...is that a dragon?] Okay, I've been in a lot of strange situations, but this is the first time it came with a brochure.

[He thumbs through it again, trying to figure out who might be toying with him. A real trickster this time? The ball and chain seem real enough though, so he decides it's best to just play along for now until he can find Dean figure out what kind of illusion or delusion he's in.]

[He hits the button on his communicator to broadcast.]

Uh, hi. [Pauses awkwardly, not sure what to say or who he is really addressing.]

I guess this makes me the new kid on the cell block. [More pausing, more awkward. He's not really funny. Let's just get to the point.] Dean? Cas? Bobby?
