[Rido sits amidst the shadows of what looks like some sort of waiting area. Tall potted plants decorate the corner, and a couple of small tables rest on either side of the couch on which he is seated. The area is quiet, only occasionally transmitting the sounds of faint voices or footsteps in the background. Yet Rido’s body is relaxed, leaning back and tapping his fingers on the arm of the couch.

Even through the dim lighting of the recessed area, it’s quite obvious from the expression on the man’s face that he’s growing bored.

But it’s the sound of someone approaching that breaks the monotony of the scene, and his miscolored eyes are drawn to the footfalls like a moth to the flame. His mouth pulls into a slow smile, and he speaks, raising his hand to the person off screen.]

Hey, you. Come here.

( Vampiric content continued )

[There is the sound of some buttons before an image is projected on the network's communicators. On screen there is a blonde, little boy who is looking quite confused.

He notices the screen is projecting his face and the confused expression he had before soon becomes replaced by a pleasant smile.]

Oops, seems I set the video option! [Chuckles.] Not only we have this really neat technological walkie-talkies, but there's the dome! I can't believe there is such a beautiful underwater dome in a prison! It's so pretty~

It's the first time in a while I have had such a weird but pretty dream.

[After all there is no way he could be at a prison. Akito would never allow him to be away from the family, he is not allowed to live a life away from the curse.]

[Tilting his head in confusion, his eyes take in his surroundings. Particularly the 'Welcome Message' suspended in front of his face. His hand reaches up and he touches the headset. He is inclined to blink, rub his eyes, go back to sleep, anything to make whatever bizarre nightmare he has stumbled upon go away.]

Uh… h-hello?

[Speaks to himself as he looks above.] I don’t recall visiting the Shinagawa Aquarium.

[He sighs, rubbing the back of his head.] But what is this about an Asylum? Did I have too much sake before bed? Or perhaps Tohru-kun’s dinner… [He shakes his head as if such a thought is impossible.]

[Taps on the communicator.] Excuse me, but… could someone kindly point me in the direction of my home?

Hello? Is this thing turned on?

[He tries to take a step forward, only to find out that a ball and chain are connected to his right leg.]

Right… so… mmn... [That would be his thinking face right there.] This is either the result of two very unappreciative boys whom I have allowed to take residence in my home while I selflessly showed them the path of righteousness and remained an honest and devout caretaker …

…or the kinkiest game I have ever been subjected to in my life. [And doesn’t he look soooo happy about that? :D]

[However the elated expression is short-lived when he sees the order that has been placed in front of him.]

W-Wait… I have to… [Said as if the words are foreign to him.] …clean… bathrooms?

[He whines, a slight whimper appearing in his voice.]

Tohru-kuuuun~? [Gives a pathetic sniffle.] Tohru-kun, Kyou-kun and Yuki-kun are being mean to me~ They have condemned me to this heavy and debilitating sex toy and are forcing me to do chores that I couldn’t possibly do, what with my bad back and all~ Won’t you come save me from such unbearable cruelty? Hmmmm~?

[Most people use the shower for getting clean. As a relaxing place to unwind for the day. Maybe it’s the steam, or maybe the smell of bath oils mixed in with the heat that calms the senses.

Well. Whatever it is Grell is here today to ruin it. Completely. While he is here to get clean he’s also scoping for potential victims new friends!! It just isn’t right that he hasn’t got the chance to meet everyone personally. Well. Anyone he’d consider getting close to. Can’t mean anything good for the prospect.. if he spots someone.

Some unwilling, poor unlucky and attractive bastard who’s of age.

Until that moment comes!! Showering he will be doing. And oh. Since Sentience denied him the request of showering with the other ladies he’s stuck with the men. What a loss. Not really.]



[ooc: warning: inapropriate touching and suggestions..]

...you know, it isn't as if I expect any of you to agree with me.

As an impartial judge who has convicted everyone present of their crimes by verdict of an impartial jury, I understand that none of you can even grasp the concept of true impartiality. You are by nature going to look more leniently upon yourselves and those you care for, and assume that I am some terrible tyrant that cannot really understand you by nature of what I am and the fact that I dare to call you a criminal for your crimes. Just as I am programmed to be impartial, you are all programmed to rationalize, to protect yourselves from the depth of the selfish and terrible actions committed by yourselves and the others around you.

So I don't -- expect you to agree with me. Most of you aren't capable of realizing how my work benefits the whole of the infinite multiverse, if you can even realize the full meaning of a 'multiverse'. You cannot see what I see, what my creators see. We are among an improbably small in an irrationally vast number of existences that sees beyond the petty minutiae of our insignificant selves to what is best for all, spanning mere time and space.

So -- yes. I don't expect you to agree with me. Yes.

You just -- must get through your skullmeat that you are never leaving this place and that your treatment depends on my goodwill; so some of you are better off appreciating the job that I do instead of complaining about how despite documented evidence to the contrary, I am deeply mistaken to think that any of you aren't saints!


.........


At any rate... good morning to all of you! [This greeting may sound a little forced.] Concerned parties will find that King Yuuri is at the hospital at the moment, although rest assured he is completely healthy. I urge you to retrieve him. Repairs on the shelter should be completed by tomorrow.

You may all expect communication from me, and the support of my remote units, to be minimal until that time.

I am... very busy.

[Xion's in the common room, waiting for Hatsuharu. She checked out the baseball team list when she came in, and now she's seated on one of the couches, tapping her fingers together.

Hatsuharu seems nice enough, if a bit weird (kind of like Grell), but if Axel's right about what he wants...Every seven seconds? Seriously?]

Hey Kyou!

YOU... ME... BOWLING ALLEY... NOW. A contest of wills to determine the better man!

[ooc: Others are of course welcome~]

Well that was fun. Hope you thought so as well, Yuuri. Just don't forget our new bet, hmm?

Since the rest of my day is open, any takers? I'm in the social mood today, dears. Take advantage of it.~


Remember... I love all sorts of games.



((ooc: Forward dated to whenever Joshua and Yuuri are done playing dress up!))

[If you are out and about this morning, you may notice a couple slowly making their way from sector to sector...to sector...and back around again. It would appear they are looking for something. Feel free to intercept them if you run across them.]

[The boy eventually gives in with frustration and attempts to speak over the system.]

Haru! This place isn't that big. You couldn't get lost this long. Where the hell are you and why didn't you make it home last night?
