[So, you guys are going on your daily routine, before an accidental audio feed comes your way. It appears he didn't realize that the thing on his head records his voice, there are more pressing matters to be dealt with.]

This...

Urgh, dammit. D-did it work?

[He sounds exhausted. But it doesn't feel that bad. The first thing he noticed is his wounds, which have slightly healed.]

What manner of place is this?

{Now he notices his surrounding, and you can hear a grunt as he probably scooted out of the bed. You can then hear him reading the welcoming message by Acumen. He apparently also took the time fiddling with the communicator, before he speaks again, but this time he knows that this is going to be broadcast.]

Do any one of you know a dragon by the name Latias, or a human boy named Ash?

[There’s some fumbling for a minute as Barry gets acquainted with this new piece of technology, but once he understands what he’s doing, he goes off on a tangent.] Hey hey hey hey! What’s the meaning of this? I’m not a criminal! This is some kind of mistake! You can’t just lock people up for no good reason, and without a trial-…! Unacceptable! When I get my hands on the people responsible for this, I’ll fine them a million- no, a billion as compensation for this! Gaaaah!

...!!!!! ANY MY POKÈMON ARE GONE, TOO?! Oh no no no no no NO! You can’t kidnap me up for crimes I didn’t commit and then steal my Pokèmon from me! I’ll triple your fine! Now let me out!

[Hello Marina. Have a dragon. Toothless didn't like the communicator on his head so he shook it off. It's lying on the floor somewhere, forgotten.

Toothless is flying - at least attempting to - around the dome, trying to attack the walls with blasts of blue fire. The flame does nothing against the walls, not even a singe. The dragon lets out an angry cry, launching himself at the wall in an attempt to break through. That, too, does nothing and Toothless falls to the ground. He tries headbutting the wall but still nothing happens.

He's just going to keep that up for awhile. It's got to give eventually, right?]

What-

[And then there's a significant silence while her brain tries and fails to process. She's too physically and emotionally drained to be thinking clearly right now and it's obvious in her voice.]

If this was part of the plan, then I won't complain, but...can't I see him again? One- [Wavers, there's the first audible chink in the armor.] One last t-time?

[And because it is clearly not working, she just gives up trying to hold herself together. Have a sobbing loli in a tree, Marina.]

[Going to get the video from Acumen was really a hard thing to do. Len had woken up feeling extremely tired today, he hadn’t even noticed that Rin was no longer in the room with him; it took him a long while to gather the strength to leave the bed. The walk to the Kiosk was very hard; he kept falling to the floor:  his legs didn’t want to respond. Once he arrived, it took him a moment to remember why he was there… He soon remembered and picked the disk, turning around to leave again.

So there he was, heading to the shelter, half asleep and almost falling a lot of times. He knew that he shouldn’t have ignored Acumen’s warning and go to the hospital, but the servant wanted to know how his princess was. How long had it been in his world? Here, only a month passed… But time acted in strange ways here, and Rin was alone, without him. And that worried him.]




((ooc: okay, Len still hasn't noticed that Rin has left Marina. That'll bring angst later, lol. Well, the first part is open to everybody (the road from the kiosk to the shelter) while the secont is closed. Feel free to bother him!!))

[ACTION - OPEN]

[Set up at the beach there's a contained bonfire, and tables full of food. Around the area there are several grills set up for if people decide they want to make things to their particular liking. There are even a few watermelon! It can't be considered a beach party without a watermelon to break among friends. Games have been set up. There are volleyball nets so that people can participate in a friendly game, and a couple of beach balls. Prizes are set off to the side for those who would like to compete in sand castle designs or the games themselves, and there are goggles and underwater equipment for water polo and other festivities.

Come, eat a piece of cake, grill yourself a steak, swim, sing, dance, limbo, mingle, troll, build sandcastles and have fun!]

[thankfully he only had to be kept in the room with a ball and chain (that had seemed kind of...excessive and medieval to him, really) for one day. So now Tsuna is out wandering around - and getting lost. He's sort of almost made his way out of sector zero, but this place still seems pretty confusing to him. His headphones seem to have been modified into the communicator, with a visual screen added over one eye. Well, at least that was handy.

Truthfully...well it was a pretty impressive place, being underwater and all. But it still kind of freaked him out.

But now, he's been wandering around for hours, and- well...he's kind of hungry.

Which you can probably tell if you get close to him, because his stomach is making loud, loud noises]

( NOTE LEFT ON THE KITCHEN TABLE FOR AXEL AND ROXAS )

[Xion had a difficult time hauling herself out of bed and fishing her communicator out from under her bed (Mars had apparently decided that it made a great toy), but she wanders out into Sector 4 anyway. She hasn't talked to Suzaku in a while, and now they're neighbors! So she wants to go say hello. And she's pretty sure a lot of her other friends live in Sector 4, too...]

[[OOC: Xion's going to be in Sector 4 all day, so anyone and everyone except Kefka is free to come poke her. You can be puttering around your house and hear her knocking, or just find her napping under a tree or in Mami's garden.]]

[Yuuri is going around the prison putting up very special flyers that he and Yuuki worked on last night. They are all unique, but they have the same basic design and text.]

( NO JERKS ALLOWED! )

(OOC: EDIT because I forgot and it's about to be moot...)

[Private to Wolfram]

Wolfram? Hey, it's me.

[Long pause.]

Yuuri.

Okay, you probably can't hear this because Conrad said your communicator was still broken. You should get that fixed.

Um... I just wanted to say hi.

Hi.

It's okay if you want to talk to me. Even if you just want to yell or something.

[Another long pause.]

Yuuki and I are having a party tonight. You should come. You like the beach, right? There will be games...

Okay, bye I guess.

[/End private]

[ Feels like a small miracle he was able to get up, shower -- though with habitual dropping of everything from soap to shampoo to towel -- and then dress himself -- his buttons are off -- and make it into the kitchen for breakfast. The robots helpfully gave him oatmeal and very strong tea and some fresh fruit.

Which he is dangerously close to falling asleep in. His cheek is on his hand and his head is slipping downward. ]

Easter, Marina? The Christian celebration dedicated to life. Hope. Sacrifice. The forgiveness of sins. Gloriously rich for a prison, isn't it? -- A prison where the continuation of life is frowned upon and forgiveness-- oh, now that's not going to happen either, is it? You don't deserve forgiveness. Life sentences with no chance of a reprieve because you have been designated as the individuals most likely to cause the universe ruin. I'd almost be tempted to say the so-called celebrations here had been designed with the utmost irony in mind.

Or perhaps you view yourselves as martyrs, sacrificing your freedom for the sake of others except-- you're powerless. Content to go from day to day, cheerfully ignoring the fact you've had your life all but taken from you.

Doctor, what aspect of humanity was it you used to sing the praises of? I think you might have to admit you were wrong. These ones are so disappointing.

[It's a nice day, unlike yesterday's storms, so Conrad has taken his cats out for a bit of playtime in the park. Also in tow is Wolfram's bearbee, who he picked up in the now-empty room that his brother and Yuuri had shared.]

[His voice message is not filtered, part of him hoping that Yuuri will want to come and meet them too. It's not like the two of them to fight for this long. Or perhaps Julia might hear it...]

Wolfram, I have your bearbee for you; we're in the park, if you'd like to meet. It's becoming quite fond of the cats.

[Normally Winry likes to go on walks through the park around midday, but today's not such a good idea for that. She ran into the special set-up there, packed with people, and recalled there was some sort of holiday today. She's not one for religion, so she decided to avoid it and go do something else to relax for a bit. Even she can only spend so much time cooped up reading or working before she wants a bit of sunlight and fresh air.

Remembering the beach, she decided to check it out. After a quick stop to the clothing store, she's made her way down there with a simple but stylish bikini and sarong, plus a small duffel bag with her clothes and a towel in it.

She's never even seen the real sea back home, so she doesn't want to go too deep, especially on her own - she's only swam in pond and bathtubs in the past due Resembool's distance from the sea, so it's a little different. Still, she wants to give it a try. Leaving the sarong and her communicator on a towel on the beach, she wades out into it and kicks around a bit as the weak waves beat in on the beach.

A bit of the water gets on her lips, and she tastes the brine of the water and laughs.] No wonder they call it salt water!


((OOC: Due to the lack of a translator, she's only going to be able to understand people who speak English/Amestrian at the moment. But don't let that stop you~.))

[ Despite her interest in the church sermon that was mentioned in the morning announcements, Aerith decided that sooner was better than later in finding a good spot to eventually plant her garden!
Having found the large park on her map, she made her way to Sector 4, the large open space making her almost feel like she was home again. The two major kinks in this feeling being the dome over her head and how she could feel no heart pulse...hear no voices. The dome, while full of life, was completely silent to her. It made her feel strangely alone.]

Okay so, let's see..maybe over there by those trees or..? Ah! Here's a small plot already planted! Maybe this one is Fletcher's...

[ Looking over the tenderly cared for plants, she smiles at them. Maybe her own would be close by.]

[ Really, she could use some company.]

[These words...they mean very little to Latias. She understands them, and knows that they probably mean she's in trouble again. But she doesn't read them, as there's something more important right now. The initial looking over the device triggered the voice action]

...Latios? Latios? Where are you?

[Her brother should be here somewhere...why wasn't he here? He normally didn't leave her alone, and with so much going on...where'd he go?]

We have to stop the wave...Latios, where are you?

...where am I? [Now that she thinks about it, that could be a better question]
