[Red doesn't really think about using filters, so everyone gets to see him sheepishly waving at the screen as he makes his call.]

Um, Ms. Jennifer...? [He looks around, and the video shows a lovely view of the middle of the park.] I think I got lost again...

[He was in her house a few moments ago, how did he get here?]

[The video shows a very confused and slightly annoyed grey-haired girl standing in the butterfly pavilion. She may be very familiar to some people, despite being... well, a girl.]

So what's the best way to talk to whoever's in charge of this place? My uncle didn't say anything about getting thrown in prison.

[ For anyone passing by, Diva's just a young girl poised over a sketchpad and colored chalk scattered on the grass next to her. She was trying things. Trying to be more exact, trying to replicate the things she's seeing in front of her. She's not succeeding, but she doesn't care, not when she's finally convinced someone to guide her. She just needed something to show him first.

Looking up, she'll be eying the first person and others after that who comes her way with a smile. She needed a model; flowers just weren't cutting it. ]

[He's heard the welcome message, tugged at the chain at his leg, and overall has a relatively good understanding of just what is going on.

He is far from pleased.]

You know, it's really not very nice to chain someone up when they haven't done anything wrong.

[Hullo, Marina. There is a white-haired man dressed in a nightgown - he was oh so rudely yanked out of bed - staring down from the communicator. It had taken him a few minutes to puzzle it out, but he's confident he's gotten the hang of it now.]

But!

[Here he smiles, looking quite a bit more pleased than a man just thrown in prison ought to be.]

If you bring me some cake, I'm sure I can forgive you~ ♥

I'll be keeping the fishies company in the meantime. [And figure out just what is occurring here.]

((ooc: bedtime now but all the tags in the morning!))

[Yuki woke up about 25% of the way outside...in the park. He was mostly irked because it was hot, but didn't wake up completely. So he's now sleepily wandering in the direction of his house... He bumps into things along the way and eventually activates his communicator. The picture is of a scrawny, sleepy teenage boy who does not look at all happy. Or sad really. Just blank. He also groggily mutters things occasionally.

Well, he finally bumps into a wall, the wall is cool on his forehead so he stays there. Inevitably his eyes close and his breathing steadies. He falls asleep against that wall.]

Mnn...

[Well! Feel free to bother him. Be careful about being violent with him though~ ♥ Also, if you knew him before, he's been gone for about a couple days now! He's back!]

[ If by perchance you are to enter the library, you will possibly spot a brooding young man.

On his hands, resting against the surface of the nearest table are a notepad and a pen, items he had brought with him to draw whatever object would pique his interest. Originally, he had intended to draw somewhere at Sector 4, but the rain has forced him to stay indoors.

Even though he is doodling an image of the library's bookshelves, he is notoriously distracted and possibly upset. He can't focus, not when his mind is busily distracting him by replaying the conversation he had with Murata.

He doesn't regret saying what he said, however, he is now feeling doubtful. Of himself and mainly of how he is dealing with Yuuri's security. There are things he wants to say but has been too wary of saying.

After sighing, the blond gathers enough courage to click a sequence of buttons on his communicator. ]

[ Private to Yuuri ]
Good afternoon, Your Majesty. [ as per usual his voice is cold and impersonal. ]

[ today, Yuri has an itinerary. included on it? the computer lab, the arcade, the clothing store, the training hall, Dani's coffe shop, and the club. in other words, all the places Yuri has spent any amount of time in since arriving, minus the Defense Force HQ. because if he goes there, Flynn will know he is... a... kind of member. and how would he ever live down that shame?

yes, Yuri is giving Flynn the Whirlwind Tour of Marina. starting as bright and early as he can bear, given that doing anything too bright and early tends to remind him of his days in the Knights and result in sulkiness. as he leads Flynn up out of the Shelter, he pauses, looking up at the sky with an expression of surprise. ]

--Hey, it's raining.


((ooc: Action is open! Tag the main post with your character at one of the locations they're visiting in the subject line, and you will get two boys! There will also be a main thread up top where they're just wandering around talking to each other, which is closed.))

[ up somewhat early after a surprisingly restful night, Murata was careful not to disturb anyone as he left the house, umbrella in hand, for the shelter's kitchen, and then off to the Butterfly Pavilion. he likes it there; it makes a tranquil place to think -- not unlike the Shinou's Temple's Inner Sanctum. the water trickling down the roof only adds to the effect.

and it doesn't hurt the butterflies don't dislike him! so, there he is, pondering all there is to ponder, and watching the little insects light on his hand. ]


((OOC: Catch him anywhere!))

[Inside the pet cafe, the many pets there are frolicking about doing their own thing as usual, but there is actually a very stunning sight(for those who know her) to be beheld there; several of the species clustered and clamoring around one Ryougi Shiki who is shockingly and without warning in their midst.

Really, she hadn't spared much thought for the place, until today when a very pink, very flowery kitty thing had hopped up near a window while she passed by, and caught her attention. And she was doomed.

So that's how she ended up fully inside the place now, and kneeling down on the floor, dutifully making sure to give generous pettings to every little animal that demands it from her, right down to the rappig and some fluffball with a tail thing that are milling about her as well]

...You guys look more like stuffed animals than real ones...

[Not that there's anything wrong with that she loves stuffed animals!]


[[ooc: as always I'll be slow getting to tags please don't hate me]]

[However tempting, he wasn't about to turn off his communicator today. He hadn't paid his usual attention to the chatter of new arrivals, rather just listening in to see if he was needed. If there was an emergency.]

[One voice had caught his attention, of course. It seemed the only way he could hear Yuuri happy was when they were apart. At least he can still hear it.]

[Nothing, though, keeps him from his training. His new abilities are useful, but he mustn't become complacent, not with Saya hell-bent on whatever revenge she sought. After an hour he takes a break, less because he needs it anymore and more out of habit, and maybe just a tiny bit to glance around and see if anyone was nearby. It's always good to train with others.]

[And of course, everyone who knew him at all knew to find him here around now. Not that he's expecting anyone.]

[After this, he's going straight home. There's still work to be done on the rooms. It should take however long until Diva to gets back the rest of the day.]

[ Ashton has been busy the past few days! It was time to unveil the surprise for Diva, but before he can do that, he has those plans with Yuuki.

Maybe some lighthearted fun and games will put him in the right mood for the rest of the evening. It would be a nice change of pace from all the heavy conversations lately... ]

[Video, filtered from Kaito]

[Akito was originally quiet this morning, until he noticed something that was kind of amusing. He sets up the video, and watchers may notice that his eyepatch is currently orange instead of white]

Neh, look, look! This is kind of funny...it changes. [What changes becomes obvious as the eyepatch slowly turns yellow while he's talking, and once he says changes abruptly flicks straight to purple]

Is someone doing this? It's kind of neat. [He doesn't mind it at all.

Anyone who knows him may notice that Akito's much quieter than usual today, though he's certainly not upset...just quiet]


[Voice, filtered from the Air Gear cast (including Akito and Lind)]

[He really doesn't want to do this, but he can't let anything happen to Akito] Alright, listen the fuck up.

Nobody at all is allowed to tell Kaito where Akito is, understand? First person who fucking does will be dying in whatever way I think is appropriate for them. [And he means it this time. Agito is in an exceedingly bad mood, and he will definitely not hesitate about it. Kaito is not finding where Akito is, period]


((OOC: Both posts are open to everyone, not including those in the filters. Please mention who you're replying to in the headings. Action open to H/Alle if Matt wishes))

[Don't mind Mal, he's just walking the perimeter of each sector one by one, scoping out the situation, taking in what information he can, planning his mode of escape, checking every nook and cranny. Yep, he's a busy guy today who looks not quite so busy, albeit a little bit suspicious. Of course those who know him, know that suspicious is his default. Feel free to run into him anywhere at any time of the day.]

[The video comes up on a beautifully composed woman. She's not panicked, incensed or desperate. She's wearing a slate blue, silk gown and her dark hair is all around her shoulders. When she speaks it is articulate and cool]

I'd like to speak to the Warden, please. Barring that, the highest member of any functioning government will do.

[ooc: I am heading to the pool in a few minutes but I will be iphone having and slow tag having]

[Once you set a private channel it's best not to sit there for awhile playing with the buttons as you think about what you want to say. It makes things go all unprivate sometimes.]

Conrad? Can we talk? I mean in person probably. I think it's more of an in person kind of thing.

[ Dream Option 1: limited to those with a good reason for the CR. Ping me here if you want to do this dream option or leave an ooc comment first. Thanks! ]

A wordless song echoes in the dream, mixing, overlapping, cascading against the dark landscape of a garden at night. Fight your way through the hedgerows dear prince (or princess). Wind your way up the tower. Inside you'll find your princess, locked in a cage…

[ Dream Option 2: Open ]

[ Diva lounges in a rocking chair, humming softly as she stares out the window. Turning, hearing a noise as someone intrudes on her dream, she'll frown. Who is it? Why are they there? Is this the newest blood donor for her children or a chevalier come to make sure Diva takes care of herself. Whoever it is, beware. She's incredibly protective of her children. She's only waited a hundred years to have them. ]

[Dream 1 | Fun and Games | Open]
[The room is lavish and elegant. It's spacious and not just because the furniture within is proportioned for a child. There are dolls, toys, books, and games all neatly arranged within the space. There is also an area set up for a tea party. Maybe you were invited? Or you could play with the realistic dollhouse or the dress up clothes or the puzzles or the chess set? Really, anything at all is fine with the little girl that occupies this room. She loves having visitors.

There's only one rule—don't open the door.

But you wouldn't do that, would you? No, it's better to stay in here. Stay away. Stay safe.]

( OOC 1 )

[Dream 2 | Revealing | Open]
[Suddenly you're dancing and across from you is a girl in an elaborate ball gown. Her face is hidden as is yours, but the long, pink hair might give her away. You're in a magnificent ballroom and there seem to be other people around, but her eyes are only for you. There is just something in the air, isn't there? Dance, talk, have some punch, and follow wherever the night leads.]

( OOC 2 )

[ Endless, endless snow as far as the eye can see. The cold is biting, bone-penetrating, intense enough to make you ache. The world around you is barren, like a frozen desert, and the snow is driving. As you walk forward, your footsteps disappear behind you, but you can keep pressing forward and you might see a figure in the distance.

Jade is on his knees here, dressed in his usual attire except for the gloves. He digs in the snow with his bare hands -- slowly, determinedly. His fingers are bright red and raw from the cold.

Scattered on the snow around him are intricate formulae, written in the fonic notation; don't expect to understand them. Even if you spoke the language, these dream calculations are muddled and nonsensical to everyone except the man who drew them painstakingly in the snow. ]


((ooc: Open! Come one, come all.))

[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.]

[Miranda stands a bit nervously at the entrance to the movie theater, looking around for Diva to arrive. She'd called to confirm they're outing, so she shouldn't be too late, right? Even if she is, Miranda knows the film won't begin before they enter, so it's all right.

But standing on here alone sure is nerve-wracking.]
