[There's a fine line between a victorious laugh and a madpony's laugh. Rarity's triumphant laugh toes that line.]

I've done it! I've made my first client-requested outfits!

For our lovely, hard-working mail lady, a dress fit for both a walk in the par or a night on the town. It is the most lovely shade of pink, is it not? I daresay you'll look lovely in it.

For Link, I think your princess will look wonderful in this gown. I know you said simple, but I couldn't help myself. I had to add a bit of dazzle to it.

And for Kanji, I think you'll like this. I've never made a jacket before, but I daresay it suits your style. The leather was a bit tricky, but I did it!

I do hope I met your standards; these were fun to make! Remember, Carousel Boutique is here for your fabulous clothing needs!

[Lightly] If Acumen's going to arrest people based on crimes like these then it may as well arrest the entire planet. I suppose you can't really blame it though, since the person at fault should be the programmer. [Anyone foolish enough to make such mistakes should really look to another field.] Anyone can make mistakes.

If it's alright, I'd be happy to help look over the program. If not, then that's fine also. Bad things might happen with such a program in charge, but I have a tendency to worry too much. [Cheerfully]

My name's Ami Mizuno. I hope to become good friends with you all, no matter how crowded it gets. [♥]

[cheery face pops up on the feed~! It can be seen that she's moving, as the background slowly moves~]

Ne, ne, everyone! Heeey!

I just met a new person, and she has this REALLY heavy ball and chain with her! It's so heavy, that when she drags it with her, it makes this really loud screeeeeching sound!

So, um! Can someone help take it off of her? [derp. Yui still doesn't know her name yet.]

[hello all, a new resident of the dome has appeared today in... a rather unfortunate place.

It seems he's stuck in the middle of the ice rink without skates. He's... quite confused and disorientated and sitting on his bum. SO SAD. but no he can figure this out. So far he's gathered he's a prisoner and things of that nature so he holds the communicator up to himself to greet the community]

--Ah, right, it's on now. Hello! Wait.

[a sigh and he just kind of switches to voice and anyone in the ice rink that day will see Shinra crawling on his knees and hands to try and get out of the ice rink. Lots of slipping and falling! But meanwhile, he's blabbering away into the headset]

Right so, now that that's taken care of-- I very much appreciate this visit to... an ice rink? Yes, it's a very nice ice rink you have here, and I compliment it greatly. In fact, whoever-is-in-charge-san, I would quite like to ask if I could borrow it one day! Ah, how I'd love to take my sweet here. She'd blush and tell me how silly it is and we'd slip and slide andsheesh my hands are cold-- OW.

[it seems he's slipped and landed face forward on the ice. skidding a bit across the ice, he whimpers]

Okay, yes, the point here was that I do quite wish whoever decided to send me here in this... place, that they would lend a poor man a pair of skates first.

Though I suppose I'm not in a position to argue, yes.

[grumble grumble] Is anyone even listening to this--

[Since earlier in the day he's taken up post next to the Koi pond, sleeves of his white button down rolled up (one side noticeably sloppier than the other) and a bit damp. He's leisurely tossing bits of torn up bread across the pond, luring out the Koi to see which have grown. And if that fat white one was still around. (Biggest in the pond by his last survey.)

When he spots it he leans forward, freezing over the water and watching...

Waiting...

Aha? ... Grabbed a red one instead. He tosses it back after looking it over (and possibly weighing it between his hands) and resumes his position pond-side.

He'll get you, fish. He will.]

[video / filtered from Euphemia]

[Ryoji's face is somewhat taut, somewhat anxious, somewhat humoured by the situation. Oh, and what a situation it is.]

Can someone do me a favour? I had a bit of a mishap with my clothing, [sheepishly, but not particularly embarrassed, just honest.]




[action]

[Later in the day! Ryoji is just chilling outside the ice rink, waiting for Euphemia.

Get it? Chilling? He's wearing pants, though.]

[The feed clicks on rather suddenly, on a close up of fabric.]

- loads of new people, of course. I do hope some of them are fashionable; I'm dying for some more clients, you know.

[Rarity steps back from the dress form, showing her latest creation on the form.]

Hm... I'm not used to working with such dark fabric, but I do think it looks nice.

[ Even though it's really late, the Shelter wasn't as quiet as it usually was. Subaru is in her pajamas, laying on her stomach over a stack of pillows on the couch in her room. The only light in the tiny block comes from several projected screens that float in the air, surrounding the bed. Only a handful show anything -- that "anything" being the telltale snow of dead air. ]

Has anyone ever tried calling home from here? I don't mean through Acumen. I mean with technology, telepathy, or whatever you've got?

[ She sighs, going quiet in the face of her own failed attempts. If she could only get so much as a reading from the outside world that would be enough for her, but for days, all she finds is static. ] Nothing...

[ waking up is... difficult. and a bit confusing, with memories of very strange dreams in her head. but they're only fuzzy, at first. as her eyes open, the only thing she registers is that she hadn't wanted to wake up. one dream's particulars escapes her grasp-- a happy one, beautiful beyond everything else... and it's gone, leaving just a horrible, wrenching sense of loss.

some point in the night, the nap had turned into bedtime, and she'd curled up with Lelouch whenever he'd come in. she thinks he's still asleep and she's glad for it as she turns to face away from him and cries.

later, she's stirring a cup of coffee at the kitchen table, maybe still a little red-eyed, and she turns her communicator on. ]

[voice]

Everyone here is strange... [ quietly. and not the best opening line ever, but it's a start ]


((ooc: Action's open to house mates, before she's in the kitchen, or after. Voice is totally open.))

[Rarity is BEAMING. Clearly, something amazing has happened.]

I had something more formal planned, but I'm so excited I just can't contain it! I have finally crafted my first dress for humans! It took a lot of research, and I know how simple it is, but I think it's a perfect contrast to our surroundings!

[Steps aside, revealing a red dress on a dress form.]

I call it "Fire Flowers Under Waves".

[It's evening, the bright sparkling fake skies high up in the air outside, while inside everypony is carefully tucking themselves in for a nice, safe, and comfortable rest. Of course... it's the same for all of the animals, too! In fact, the interior walls and familiar setting of the pet shop is evident as the feed seems to accidentally switch on, a bunny hopping over the screen.

Standing amidst a myriad of different animals, all seeming to settle down is Fluttershy as she scoops up the little bunny into her hooves. Her voice is soft and doting, as though talking to a child.]

There there, Cotton Tail. It's soooo late and well past your bed time. Baby bunnies need their rest too, you know, so that we can all get up bright and sunshiney early in the morning. Mr. Sun will be so sad if he doesn't see you. [Prompting] Why don't you close your eyes for Fluttershy?

[The baby bunny sniffs the air before shifting it's head away.]

Oh, but you'll be so tired in the morning if you don't! You need your rest. [Once more the little white rabbit shifts it's head the opposite way as though ignoring her.] What's wrong, are you not tired...? [No response] Is your bed not comfortable enough? [No response] Are you hungry...? [This time the bunny begins to excitedly sniff the air, wiggling within her grasp.]

Alright, I'll get you a carrot as a bed time snack, but then you have to promise to go to sleep. [Lifting into the air on soft, yellow wings she flies out of screen for a moment, before landing carefully once more a moment later, the bunny nibbling on a carrot. Cradling him she hums softly.] There now. Just nibble on that and close your eyes. I'll sing you a lullaby. [Rocking him back and forth she sings softly in a gentle voice.]

Hush now, Quiet now ♩
It's time to lay your sleepy head
Hush now, Quiet now
It's time to go to bed ♫

( OOC )

[Well, it's been a pretty awful week for Yosuke. Like, really awful, so he decides it's time to let off steam and try to get his mind off things for a while. So where does that take him? The arcade, of course!]

[He'll be there all afternoon, playing different games, failing hard at most of them, and likely tripping over his feet and yelling needlessly in frustration. Anyone is free to bother him, make fun of him, or challenge him to a game of whatever!]

[See pony. See pony pace back and forth around Sector 0, looking like she's about to wear a hole in the floor.]

Oh... I just... I can't take this anymore!

[Rummaging through EVERYTHING is go.]

A needle! Some thread! I'll make a doll dress out of a napkin! I have to create something!

[Stir crazy? In Big Mac's words, 'eeeeeyup'.]

[ her tone is gentler than usual, as she's trying quite hard not to offend anyone ]

People are seriously- seriously managing to leave this prison and no one's recording it. Really, I think that's silly

I'm volunteering myself to keep a record of it, and I really hope that people will report these disappearances. It's quite interesting, really.

Huh? What is all that supposed to mean? [Says this panicked and confused girl after reading the greeting and trying to pull the communicator off, unaware of having turned it on by mistake instead.]

I didn't... do anything. Not anything at all.

[She half pouts to herself, before seeming to notice something. Down, down her eyes stray to something and widen. Some of you may understand this look; it's that one a person gets when something important is missing. Within seconds she goes changes from shocked to extremely upset. The shithead who took her Regalia from her was going to made to give it back, she swore.]

[Seething, she looks back up, direct line of sight on to the communicator.]

Give it back.

[OOC: As implied by the subject line, action tags are welcomed (right off the bat or half way through) but at the risk off a bigger misunderstanding happening. And this, being a late intro and all, is obviously backdated to an earlier point of time for the 109th day.]

[ Today, Teddie is merrily wandering around in his bear suit. Today, you get the giant teddy bear in your face! Even though you can't see Teddie, just him in his suit, you should be able to recognize his voice. ] All you newcomers! [ waves. ] Hi! I'm Teddie. I get that everything's really confusing, but things are really nice here. I'm sure you've all talked to someone nice already! And if you want, we can even be friends, and play games and stuff! But you gotta be nice to me, and everyone else, too.

[ pauses thoughtfully. ] Hey, Sakura! I was thinking... what about me as the cheerleading team's mascot?!

(( so Teddie got his bear suit back! he's wandering around sector 3 so you can run into him around there.

Edit: it's not his exact suit. I made a mistake. sorry for confusion!! ))

[Mami couldn't avoid the 'bots for long, and it was inevitable that they would round her up for this 'chain gang' she had both read and heard about. Unsurprisingly, she went willingly, and the feed opens up on her sitting on a table during one of her 'enrichment activities,' holding a small, white, folded paper crane in the palm of her hand]

It's inevitable that we all pay for our sins. No one is lucky enough to escape final judgement. For most of us, it just happened far sooner than we might have expected. Perhaps in some cases, too soon...

[She pokes her crane and smiles, but it's a sad one]

I can only hope the majority of you come here with no regrets. I believe that would be a far worse punishment than anything this Acumen could think up.

-- oh my, do pardon my musings. My name is Mami Tomoe. I'm new here, like so many others, and I... do look forward to meeting you all.

Excuse me-- [She smiles into the camera, a bright and innocent smile.]

I know it's a little rude to ask, and you don't have to answer me if you wouldn't like, but could you tell me about the person you love?

It’s to my understanding that I’ve been imprisoned in this facility. I can’t say I necessarily agree with the reasoning or methods, however... [There’s a pause, and a very quiet sigh.] I also understand that there’s little I can do at this time to fairly argue my case. I’ve read all provided information that was left here for me; whoever it is that provided this basket, I thank you. It’s already very helpful and greatly appreciated.

[There’s a small pause, as she considers the proper way to approach this next part.] Since I’m to believe this will be broadcasted to those who are here, an introduction is in order. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. Prior to arriving, I was in the middle of some important matters, most of which I presume I cannot resolve under the circumstances. However, if I was brought to this facility unjustly, I can only guess that others, some of whom I might know, are here as well. That being said, if any of you copy, please respond to me. I’d like to further discuss this as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time. [Displeased, but she cuts the feed abruptly. She’s going to carry about until she gets any sort of response.]

Good morning boys and girls! We do hope you've slept well! [because they haven't slept at all.] We have a proposition for you, hmm? [Have a large, eerily grinning face in your video, Marina!]

How many of you more rambunctious sorts would be interested in a fight club? An all out brawl between yourself and another! Everyone gets a turn! The only rules are no disabling injuries, and when someone surrenders, you back off!

We're still working out the kinks, but for now, we'd like to just gather a headcount! Don't all pipe up at once! There'll be plenty of action for everyone! [they laugh]
