[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?

[Some time in the early evening there are a few bottles strewn across Axel's little section of the bar and upon closer inspection one of them has fallen to the floor, shattered to many pieces. There's a bot taking care of the mess and attempting to clear the empty bottles of beer as well, but Axel pays it no attention. Half empty bottle in hand he just sits there, head down over his folded arm which is rested atop the counter. Maybe he's asleep, maybe he's passed out; who knows.

Well, the clones have left and now he just feels like "relaxing." Hmph. So much for relaxing.]

((ooc: feel free to poke him at the club. More than likely he's sober enough to talk.))

[After he's gorged himself on lunch, Allen heads to the arcade to wait for Asuka. He's dressed down a bit, with Timcanpy riding happily on his shoulder, and will be entertaining himself with Pac-Man until she arrives. It's sort of a lazy day today... Maybe everyone's preoccupied thinking of things to write to the people they're missing.

[So, maybe it's more melancholy than lazy. But there's nothing wrong with a little of that. And he definitely prefers it to having some sort of crisis to handle where lives are at stake.]


((Feel free to encounter him while he's playing around at the arcade~))

( Guess who's back )

[After a moment, Axel sighs, clicks on the video function and tiredly peers down at the screen, not bothering to make it private.]

...Roxas, Xion, Kairi. [Raspy voice] I'm heading home. [Even as he says it he's trying to push the blankets off.]

[Upon entering the classroom you will find Charley seated at the small desk in front of the room. Desks have been arranged in neat rows and on every other desk a copy of the Holy Bible rests on the table top.

The lecture today will be a brief discussion on the origins of the Christian religion and an explanation of their beliefs and important figures. For anyone who already knows the basics of this particular religion may be bored but he's mainly doing this for the people who no nothing about it. The day's assignment is to write a brief paragraph or two on what you hope to gain from this class and what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of religion as a whole.

The assignment is to be completed during class so there's no need to fret about homework or anything. He just wants to know a bit about the views of his students.]



[ooc: All posts are assumed to be set during class unless you write in the header that it's before or after class.]

[ Voice ]
I know I've been talking about this a lot, lately.. [ Or so it felt like. ] But everything is set up for the memorial, for Gyoro and Ururun.

...it won't take long, but I think they would want for everyone they knew to have this chance. I'll be in the graveyard until sundown, and then have the robots bury them.

Thank you all for your time.

[ Action ]
[ For once, Ashton was dressed appropriately for the occasion; though it was all Jennifer's doing. He had on a nice pair of dress slacks, with a white shirt, and a navy blue vest. Even his headband was missing and his hair was pulled back into a ponytail, with the aid of some hair spray and a tight black band.

He stood a few feet away from a large square hole in the ground. To his side was a large stone box, uncovered, with the dragons' heads (and necks) nestled in with some white fabric. They looked worn, but it wasn't disgusting -- not as disgusting as the show Xellos had put on with them.

Ashton just stood by and waited for everyone -- anyone -- to come by. Once it got closer to sunset, he thought he should give a speech, but nothing came to mind. He's had many days to think of something, but nothing came. ]

((OOC: There isn't really a "ceremony" since he didn't research funerals that much! No one's presiding over the burial, either. Free-for-all posting, but if you could specify Before or After the burial, that would be awesome. ))

[The feed clicks on to show Charley looking as serious as ever.]

Good morning. For anyone who doesn't know I am Charley Chrishunds and I will be teaching the class on religion. I'm having a bit of a late start but the first class will be held tomorrow afternoon. I welcome anyone to come.

[He clears his throat.]

Now for the real point of this broadcast. I've been trying to figure out how to best go about teaching religion, but because there are so many different ones I'm asking anyone who may be interested what religion they would like to learn more about. Whether it be one from your world, or one you heard about from someone else. Whatever the case I would appreciate the input. Thank you for your time.

[The feed clicks off.]

[After hearing a certain name on the list of missing inmates, Fou-Lu decided to avoid contact with others until he could sort himself out.]

[He'd anticipated this happening to someone he cares for, and he assumed it would invoke no more than passing regret. It isn't death--only disappearance. People have gone and returned soon after, even within days. And yet, he feels unsettled, more-so than what he'd accounted for in those assumptions.]

[The god-emperor's wandering brought him to Mami's little farm. The house on the edge of the property earns no more than a fleeting look. His attention is turned to the vegetables which she spent so much time cultivating. What will become of them without their caretaker?]


((OOC: violence warning for the Axel thread.))

Onii-chan? Where are you?

[Kana turns back on the communicator after having set it aside for most of the evening. Jun has said he would be right back...but that was a long time ago. Had he disappeared? Had she dreamed meeting him and spending the day with him?

Someone had to know.]

Umm...I'm sorry. I know it's late, but...I don't know how to contact just one person. I'm looking for my Onii-chan. He went out and hasn't come back yet.

[Captain Ursula had been listening, and waiting.]

[Without her gun or magic, confronting the Yorae Dragon is a dangerous proposition, no matter in what capacity--friendly or otherwise. But the strange warden running this place failed to take away her wit, and it's hardly a chore to zero in on him and decide how to initiate their meeting.]

[Hiding behind a tree seems to be the best way while she considers her options. Crouching down the biggest one in the area, the uniformed woman barely moves, except for the occasional twitching of her fox-ish tail.]

[Jennifer's peering out the window, bouncing from foot to foot and anxiously waiting for her two new guests to arrive!]

[They didn't get lost did they?]

[frowns]

[Maybe she should go looking for them...]

((ooc: backdated to breakfast hours))

OW, HEY!

[The video function flickers on when Lea hits the ground belly first and right when he leans up to shoot a glare over his shoulder he discovers that...there's no one there. To his left--]

Isa? ...Hey, where'd you go? Come on, this isn't funny! [He growls and sits up on the ground. Behind him you'll see that he's at the park. That's nothing too different, but if you happen to know Axel...then perhaps the sight of a much younger version of him will cause a double take. Lea crosses his arms and huffs.]

What a joke. Hey, what if I'm passed out? ...Don't think he threw us that hard. [Pause] Ok, Isa, you can come outta hiding now. Seriously, cut the act, got it memorized? [...Huff! Deep breath.]



...ISSAAAAAA!

((ooc: This is Axel's chibi!Other, Lea, and he happens to have a heart. In other words, this is Axel before he was Axel. More info on his profile annnnnnd...possibly will have KH BBS spoilers!))

[brief flickering and the video screen successfully pops up!]

These new machines always do get the best of me.

If someone could direct me to the North Pole then I would most appreciate it.

[note: Santa will know the names of all characters that have Christmas in their world! HE'S SO WATCHING YOU]

[The video clicks on to a close up of Joker's red grin, it shakes as he reaches forwards, placing it on the desk. He's clearly in the library sitting in a chair in the middle of the room. His makeup and dirty purple suit is mostly intact, and he slicks back his greasy hair when it falls in front of his eyes.]

Well hello there.

You know, I thought. I thought I was in Arkham, but this place is very, very different from my cell. [His gaze flickers about the room.] It certainly is much nicer than my cell in that dreadful place. [He grins.]

So tell me, [he licks his lips] where are we? Hm? What is this place? Who's in charge? Who thinks they're in charge? Ahmm. Don't be shy. Tell the Joker all about your rules.

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.]

[He's worried about the monsters from last night, but he wants to help people cheer up, so he'll talk about something happier.]

I think it's time for another baseball game! If that's okay with Suzaku. Everyone who can make it should be at practice today, so we can get ready! And maybe we'll have the game, um, in two or three days? Does that sound good? Oh! Maybe I'll send a letter when it's decided. PM likes mail.

If you're new to the team or if you know someone who left, could you let me know? [Sheepishly rubbing his neck and smiling.] I guess Murata was kind of taking care of the rosters, and now they are a little out-of-date.

Does anyone else want to be the manager of the teams? Maybe someone with nice handwriting?

[Being ambushed sucks.]

[Especially after hitting the club.]

[It's not like Faith's drunk or anything, but she wishes she had stayed away from the last three bottles. There had only been one lizard at first when she stepped outside and she had dispatched it quickly enough with her knife. But then it screamed while it died and fuck that must've been a stupid SOS signal because now there was a whole herd. what she wouldn't do for a shotgun.]

Shit. [breathlessly. she hasn't been at this big of a disadvantage ever since- flicks on the 'voice'.]

Stay inside unless you want to get chewed on. Goddamn motherfuckers.

Er... I have something to report. Well, Jennifer asked me to report it, anyway...

Some of you know about the party being planned for the Peregrine Mendicant tomorrow. Jennifer asked me to report that Kefka is insisting on going to the party and asking if there are going to be children there.

... Considering that he's sent raw meat to the house, and threatened to kill people in front of Jennifer, she asked me to make sure that there are Defense Force members at the party.

That's all, I guess.

[Ryu is patrolling around, making sure things are relatively quiet. That dance party last night was kind of exhausting, but he has a duty!]

[He's kind of lonely, though. Hopefully he'll run into someone while he's patrolling.]

[[ooc; Yeah, open bother post. Mostly sector 4 and 5 today, just put the location you're running into him in the subject line. :Db ]]

Do a little daaaaance.

[Suddenly, more demanding,] OBEY. [GIR laughs while he orders some angry bots to escort every single one of you to one of the parks. Fighting back will only result in punishment...and believe him, you don't want to know what GIR has cooked up for you then.

While you walk you may notice that dawn has suddenly become night again, the lighting is still working though it's all very...vibrantly colored and disco-y--maybe a strobe light here and there--and that the once peaceful silence has turned into blaring techno.

GIR starts to sniffle happily.]

Y-you're all so beautiful.
