Good morning, inmates. It is the 93rd day of the third generation.

There will be a light flurry this morning, clearing up by mid-day as the temperature warms slightly. There will still be enough snow for the winter ball planned by inmate Jennifer Shibuya for tomorrow, so there is no need to worry.

Requests for the following inmates can be retrieved at the entrance to Sector 0: Castiel, Fai D. Flourite, Jun Ushiro, and Kyouya Ootori. Installation of the Meditation class waterfall is complete and may now be enjoyed.

[The news of Ribbons' disappearance weighs heavily on PM's mind today. Despite that, the mail cannot stop for personal grief, so she holds her head up high and delivers all the fliers announcing the Ball with her usual speed and positive attitude. Delivering mail always cheers her up, but the Ball itself will be a great way to raise both her's and Hiling's spirits. Maybe someone else will be excited about it, as well!]

[The COMMUNICATOR comes on with a click. There is a moment of BLESSED SILENCE, and then:]

What the everloving fuck is going on here?!

[Oh, don’t you wish that that BLESSED SILENCE was back now? The voice that comes through is LOUD - raised to a shout. It also sounds FURIOUS.]

Obsolete fucking AI? Not making any of its mistakes? That’s real fucking reassuring, you nooksniffing bag of shit!

[BANG BANG BANG. Someone his hammering the keys here!]

This is a real funny joke, assholes! How many fish puns did that fucknugget make when he was designing this steaming pile of musclebeast refuse? Did he throw a temper tantrum halfway through and storm off like a dumb grub who’d shit his diaper and leave one of you other ignoramuses come up with this unbelievably moronic messages?! I could fucking barf a more atmospheric memo! This is why I’m the leader, and what do you not do to your fucking leader? That's right! You do not fuck with your fucking leader!

[Rant, rant, rave! Karkat continues to mash the keys of his COMMUNICATOR before he gives a SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION and throws it against the wall, where it goes off with a CLUNK.]

[Even today, with the postmaster in a state of blindness, there is mail! It just so happens that PM is clinging to the arm of one (1) Ryoji Mochizuki, deputy Parcel Meister, for guidance. It seems that she also talked Ryoji into wearing PM's trademark winged hat--the stripey blue one with a pink rim.]

[Click here for pen pal signups. Mail submissions for Day 92 go here!]

[ The feed clicks on, but the communicator isn't on Terezi's head but in her hand instead. She's somehow managing to keep hold of it, but it's incredibly wobbly as she rises up off her cot.

Oh, and those words? Laced with HATE. ] Who did this? Who fucked with my treehive?

[ There is a pan of the room, and things look okay, except for when she dares to take a step. The image swivels and stops solid as she stumbles against a wall, the wood creaking from the sudden strain. ] It's like someone moved me onto a gogdamn hill or something.

[ More steps. ] If I figure out which of you nubslurping FUCKPODS did this, I'll--

[ She'd have more to say, but when then the video is nothing but a series of colorful blurs for a few seconds as the communicator tumbles from her grip and down to the (thankfully) soft grass below. Everyone watching is treated to a sideways view of the park, and the very edge of the tree that Terezi's treehive was built in. ]

[ And then you all get to see one troll girl take a non-too-graceful swan-dive onto the grass. That... had to be about two stories high, from the perspective of the fall, and for a long moment, she doesn't move. ]

[ Muffled by the ground, she coughs. ] You. Are. In. ssooooo much fckng...hnng...

[What a nice, pleasant, normal day it has been! PM is in a good mood as she sets out on her route, and makes plans to enjoy a warm dinner and hot coffee afterward.]

[Click here for pen pal signups. Mail submissions for Day 91 go here!]

Who do you think works faster? Dragons, or robots?

If you guessed "dragons", you're right! [ With that, the troll girl points the camera toward the base of one of the larger trees in the park not Ammy's, sob. As the camera pans up, a treehouse comes into view. Its construction is decent, for something planned out by a blind girl and mostly built by a Dragon God. The outside is unpainted, there is no glass in the windows, and there are no signs of lights or anything if that nature.

The only way up appears to be to climb the trunk, or use one of several devices, all a rope-and-pulley system: a net, a pair of hooks, and a large bucket basket. The whole place still needed a lot of work, but it's enough for her to sleep in with a cot and a space heater. ]

What do you think? Pretty awesome for something put together in four days, huh? [ Proudly. ] I can finally get myself out of that underground hive and start living. [ Sorry, Nepeta. Though she will still come over to sleep since there's no way that structure is anywhere near supporting furniture right now. ]

And I'd like to thank Emperor Fou-Lu for his wonderful~ assistance. [ And she turns the camera to herself for a big, smug smile. One that says: "I had a DRAGON help me. Aren't you jealous?" ]

((ooc: I know a lot of people are out today, but she just HAD to have this post up. Back-tags are always welcome. ♥))

[It's the first day of Basic Meditation class!

Since it's cold out, Maya alerted the students via communicator they'd be meeting at the Training Hall for the morning and into the foreseeable winter. At least until that waterfall gets installed.

The class begins with one simple question posed to the class:]

So does anyone know what meditation is for?

[The class really doesn't cover much, since about half of it is Maya getting distracted and rambling a bit, but she does mention the very basics and purpose of meditation, and the last fifteen minutes she has the class attempt to meditate.]

((OOC: Feel free to tag before, after, or during the lesson, but mark when in your comment's subject. Event-style threading encouraged. Or if you don't feel like threading, feel free to add your character tag to the post anyway for attendance!))

[The communicator turns when Waka takes it out of the bag he's been holding. He had gone to the convenience store earlier to pick up some packets tea herbs to brew and was nearly home when he noticed a certain surprise waiting for him.]

That's just my luck, isn't it? How gênante. [There's a hole in the bag. Not a very big or noticeable one, but one large enough to have sent his packets of tea somewhere on the sidewalk from the convenience store to the shelter. Waka tsks. He isn't very upset, just a little bemused at this turn of events. He thinks a bit and sighs.] I could get some more, but that would just be wasteful! They can't be that hard to find, anyway.

[So, anyone in the street might notice Waka crouched on the sidewalk, sifting through the snow, in his new polka-dot pink mittens and floofy red scarf.]

(ooc: is it sad that I've had the exact same thing happen to me.;;)

• Ryoji & Kaworu

[Today certainly has something new for her to deliver. At first, she'd had a simple bit of joy about delivering magazines, not even giving the contents much attention beyond ensuring that the inmate isn't too young for the material.]

[But she may have accidentally dropped one of the magazines in the post office, and it opened to a certain page, and... well, it answered some questions about her human friends that she didn't even know she had. On top of THAT, the incident was technically a violation of the recipient's privacy. It's a double-whammy of fluster and shame and she could not put them in discrete envelopes fast enough.]

[At least, thanks to Ribbons' guidance, she's dressed very warmly while she shuffles around the dome. She's even got a nice colorful scarf to offset the darker tones of the outfit. Not that it does much to hide her blushing.]

[Click here for pen pal signups. Mail submissions for Day 90 go here!]

[ He really brought this on himself. If Eridan wasn't going to request his very own recuperacoon, the others would have to take matters into their own hands.

Eridan's habits weren't hard to peg down. Today, when he was out and about; to go to the beach, or whine at a human about his problems, you know... shit Eridan does, Terezi made her way into his apartment (what's property damage?), and left a little treat for him above the front door -- a bucket. Not just any bucket, though! A bucket filled with ~sopor slime~.

This was for his own good.

....and her amusement. Of course she's sticking around to watch the aftermath; patiently waiting to witness his reaction from her hiding spot behind another door. ]

((ooc: Closed to Eridan and anyone who has any business being involved in this and/or is brought to Eridan's place. Looking at you, trolls~))

[The voice that's about to come through is extremely excited. Ridiculously so. She's speaking quickly and as if something extraordinary has just happened.]

An underwater prison! I can't stop going glub glub over it, it's all very exciting! Of course there are less exciting parts to it [She pauses to play with the chain around her ankle, an action that can't be seen, but you can probably guess what she's doing if listening hard enough.] They reely know how to hook you in!

But! There is something a little...fishy about all of this. [Her voice doesn't give away if that was meant as a joke or not.]

[It takes her a few minutes to find the name she had written down, amidst everything she had hastily shoved into one garbage bag.]

Uh -- Gino Weinberg, head of the Defense Force? I need to talk to you.



((OOC: This post is open, albeit with eventual hackable privacy filters being set up. Also, no guarantees on a warm reception, either; someone's in a mood.))

[ The screen is greeted by an annoyed face. It's very annoyed. It's extremely annoyed. It's the face of a man exhausted and simultaneously struck with a great indignity indeed. ]

Whoever messed around with both my lunch and my room is in for it. Isn't the 'warden' supposed to keep it's precious inmates in relatively good health?

[ His scowl deepens, and his eyes narrow in mingled weariness and pain. ]

Where's the nearest first-aid station? I don't need a migraine on top of all this.

[ Terezi was in the park, sulking. You couldn't tell from her cheerful expression, though, as she sat on the sidewalk and sketched out crude designs in brightly colored chalk. Anything from flowers, to dragons, to what might be people, or trolls, or stick figure approximations thereof. All with about the skill or accuracy you'd expect from a blind girl. ]

Interesting that it sounds like today is '86th Day attempt number two'. A shame that it couldn't be gotten right on the first try.

[In the furthest back room of the post office is PM's studio apartment. In the center of the sparsely-decorated room, the parcel mistress has set up a folding table and spread it with a white and red checkered tablecloth. Not exactly a luxurious setting, but it's not a date, after all. Just a friendly dinner guest. No need to go all out! Negotiating with the robots for "red" dishes was interesting, to say the least, but she finally figured out the menu: steaks cooked rare with stuffed peppers and dinner rolls on the side. After that, red velvet cake for dessert. The coffee maker brews a fresh batch from its place on the mini-fridge, but there's also water, in case that's what Terezi prefers.]

[The office door is locked tight, but she is listening carefully for her guest to arrive.]

[So much mail! There's no better day to use the mail cart. Along she rolls, its pouches stuffed with letters, packages, and postcards. Given the presence of mass mailers, she will be in EVERY residential area today. She will find you, Saki, no matter what couch you crash on]

[Click here for pen pal signups~ Mail submissions for Day 86 go here!]

[ In tandem with Josak's boutique set-up time, and just as she had announced earlier, Jeanne has prepared another event for the ladies by taking over the public baths.

Even though she has been back and forth a lot to get items for everyone, and get fitted at store, she's certainly going to leave some time for mingling with her friends, too. ]

((OOC: This is taking place after the dance class, and will go on until ! Please mingle as you want! ♥ Here is the last post just for an example of what's available~

Thread with Diva is closed, taking place toward the end of the evening -- and might need warnings for... well, Diva being Diva. ))

[The farm is beginning to look as though nothing ever happened. Pumpkin vines stretch out across once-burned ground and injured plants have begun to mend. Their time may end with the changing of the artificial season, but this way they have a chance at yielding one more crop before the frost takes them.]

[Fou-Lu sits at the edge of the tiny farm, ascended into his astral form to focus his attention on creating and maintaining a gentle autumn rainstorm over the area. It's not his usual style of magic, as it requires quite a bit more finesse than he usually applies, so he's rather focused and not particularly attentive to the world around him.]

[Of course, it's probably hard for anyone not doing intricate magic to miss the big white dragon staring at the tiny clouds.]
