--I can't believe they're celebrating Holi. [He's kind of thrilled about it, and laughs.]

Holi is a festival of colors. I'm not sure if there's religious significance to it or not, other than that it's for spring, but in India people would throw colorful liquid or powder on passersby. And if you say to them, "Pardon me, but it's Holi," they're supposed to forgive you.

It's a lot of fun, if you can relax enough for it. If not... [sly] maybe you should stay indoors today?



((ooc: Respond to his voice post here! Otherwise this is an EVENT POST. Comment here if you want your character to get powdered, or if you want to lurk and throw brightly-colored water at other people, and other people will respond to your comment to oblige! Calling all pranksters, goofballs, and trolls!))

[ 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.

Good morning, inmates. It is the 110th day of the third generation.

Inmates John Egbert and Phoenix Wright, items you requested are available by the entrance to Sector 0.

Time doesn't really make sense here. But -- what do you think the opposite of a birthday is?

[It's a bit late and her intention is to not show her face, but it's not as if she's making it particularly difficult to be found, curled up in a beach chair and watching the sky projection move.

Allen's commandeered puppy playing in the sand dunes and barking at shadows helps, too.]

Think of it as a riddle.

If anyone here knew Karen Kasumi, I don't think she's here anymore. [So many disappearances today...]

I'd appreciate it if anyone in the Defense force could confirm that.

Hey, can someone help me out?

[The feed pans back to show Ryoji, standing in one spot. Nothing seems amiss at first but there is a bit of a very odd sigil peeking out from the floor beneath his feet, where Lightning Eater has anxiously nudged back the carpeting.]

I can't move from this spot, and I'm not really sure why.



((OOC: Ryoji's been trapped by a Devil's Trap set up by the Supernatural boys/TFW! He currently doesn't know it's there, but anyone else is welcome to see it and point it out to him. The only options are for a) someone to mess with the seal or b) him to be ... sent back to hell. Obviously, I prefer the first one.))

[There is a clang of noise. Only, 'clang' is not a sufficient word to decribe the ripe cacophany of falling metal and squishy teen troll. The communicator comes on in just enough time to catch the loud and really rather angry vulgarity hidden in the middle of the noise.]

SHIT FUCKING FRONDBITER ASSFUCKS.

[The noise stops, except for the necessary little tinkle of metal just after you think everything is all over.

Eventually there is a groan.]

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

If anyone would like to join me for dinner, I made too much! [she laughs a little; it has a tendency to happen.] Lloyd won't eat it all, and I'd hate to let it go to waste! I'm in the shelter.

[Cecile has made dinner in the shelter! It looks innocuous enough... And she's made more than enough for one! Would you look some? The smell is a mite strange, but it certainly looks delicious! There's a shrimp pasta, fresh baked bread rolls, and a chocolate cake for dessert!

...of course, the shrimp pasta is filled with strawberry jam and one of the main seasonings is cayenne pepper, the bread has wasabi and soy sauce baked into it, and the chocolate cake has pickled plums strewn casually into the mix.

Eat up!]

[Short mail route is short Given her rather light load today, PM finds herself with a lot of extra time on her hands. Over her extremely healthy dinner of microwave french fries with mustard, she decides to head over to the library for some studying.]

[The hard-shelled mail lady spends some time wandering the stacks, pausing now and then to stare blankly at the spines before selecting a book at seemingly random. Once PM has accumulated a nice little collection, she settles cross-legged in a chair to she flip delicately through the pages with her stubby claws.]

[Feel free to tag her at any point from the route or in the library.]

[Otoha is not patrolling today. He still has a while until his night shift, so there's something he's been meaning to do.]

[From what he's seen on his rounds, sector 3 seems to have the most suitable houses. He's not sure if they'll go for it, but it's worth a try.]

[[ooc; Otoha is poking around and looking at houses. Feel free to encounter him in sector 3 or on the way to there. :D]]

[Her voice is very clear and steady, though heavily laced with anger.]

Let's cut to the chase.

I know you're here somewhere, Kaguya. And when I find you, I will rip open your stomach and burn every single one of your internal organs to ashes. ♥

[A pause. She continues, less angry but still quite pissed.]

So...anyone know how to get this damned ball and chain off of my leg?

Good morning. Today is the 105th day of the third generation, and more inmates will be integrated into the facility. Please be aware of this disruption as you go about your day.

Today marks the celebration of St. Valentine's Day, an Earth holiday honoring love and romance. As a reminder to all inmates who have not acquired a license: romantic interaction is to remain chaste, even in light of the holiday. There will no longer be any leniency on this. Consider acquiring a license if you are interested in celebrating.

Inmates Mako Nakarai, Peregrine Mendicant, and Terezi Pyrope: your requests are at the entrance to Sector 0.

[ guess who's still not 100% recovered from the "fun" on day 102? Marina's friendly neighborhood English teacher, that's who. today seems like a good day to have a quiz! he has pencils and test papers ready for people when they come in.

and for now, he's just going to doze against the tree. ]

Good evening, my fellow deviants!

Is there anyone around here easily amused by menial tasks? For some reason, I have a surplus of those.

Naturally, the only compensation would be your own satisfaction. It seems Acumen doesn't believe in offering research budgets.

[ Hermione has never been great with stress, and it shows. The exam-period look about her has only been exacerbated with the artificial sun and pens and mini-Harry and his tiny, green voice. Hermione is tired, but her eyes are still glaring determination. Though, they'd be glaring anyway. Hermione has never been great with stress, and it shows.

So she's retreated, as will be visible, to the greatest sanctuary Marina has to offer her: the library. Added bonus, she won't have the nerve to snap at people in it. ]

I don't know if this little event serves as a distraction or a compensation for yesterday. [ her pen fits neatly in the indent of her bottom lip, and she's less scornful. ] Valentines day. Honestly.

Oh, Edgeworth. I hope your chat went better than mine. [ With that, the feed blacks out. She slots her forehead back in to her hand and goes back to writing ]

[ it's been a very, very long night, but Suzaku is still in the Defense Force Headquarters the next morning. earlier than usual, in fact, since he skipped his morning swim. and breakfast.

he'll be pacing HQ, looking more than a little bit run-down, all morning. ]


((ooc: Joining the DF today? Hoping to start a task force? Just looking to offer condolences because of how sucky yesterday was? :D Suzaku was off the communicators after last night's disaster, but he's here and physically available now~.))

Good morning, inmates, it is the 102nd day of the third generation. There were no fatalities or life-threatening injuries sustained yesterday and Princess Euphemia has been arrested by the Defense Force. There is no need to be overly concerned.

After much deliberation, and as St. Valentine's Day will be observed soon, I have decided to amend the ban on sexual relations, to a certain extent. There is now a registration system in place, and inmates will be able to apply at the kiosk to form a sexual partnership. Permits will only be issued to inmates determined to be emotionally capable of a healthy partnership of that nature, and interested parties would be required to submit to a non-invasive sterilization procedure to prevent reproduction.

In order to prevent sex-motivated crime, an inmate will only be allowed to seek this permit once for the duration of their incarceration and with only one person. It would be a decision akin to marriage, and if the partnership is dissolved, no future ones will be permitted. As it is a choice that will greatly impact the rest of your life here, all interested parties are urged to consider this option carefully.

Inmates Miles Edgeworth and Yui Hirasawa, your requests can be retrieved at the entrance to Sector 0.

[Harry was in his room when he heard Euphie's little announcement. In a rare, rare moment of common sense, he decided to stay where he was. Well, the reason was pretty obvious: he's unarmed.

... However, what he can do, he will. In a very quiet, low voice:] ...To anybody who that lady was targeting: if you need a place to stay until this blows over, I'm in my room in the shelter and...I don't think she's anywhere nearby. [A very long pause as he creeps quietly to his door to listen, then goes back.] ...yeah, she's not here.

Hermione, Otoha, PM, Alma - anyone - are you all right?

[strained voice post, filtered from Euphie]

As I'd like to hope I don't need to tell anyone after that post, stay away from Euphemia if you are Japanese! She is a teenage girl with long pink hair, and she's under a spell -- a curse that forces her to attack and kill anyone she knows or believes to be Japanese. She's currently in the shelter and is heading for Sector 4, so if you're in that area, avoid her at all costs! She can and will attack anyone who gets in her way.

I need the defense force to take her into custody immediately, she is a danger to herself and others in this state, but her condition can be fixed! We just need to stop, disarm, and restrain her before she hurts someone, or engages someone who will hurt her.

--Please.

"Welcome Caroline Forbes" - Seriously? You can't make this up with candles and a photo frame. Luxury Soy candles maybe. I have rights. There's nothing in the Constitution that makes it okay to kidnap minors and accuse them of crimes that you have no proof of. I would know - I passed Civics with an A! Hello? Innocent until proven guilty? Keyword: proven - which someone conveniently forgot. Nice going, really. I think you've broken a few laws yourself with this dumb mistake.

[...faltering a little.]

You can't keep me here, okay!? It's totally not fair. God I could - totally go for a bunny right now. People are waiting for me back home! Very important people. So I'd really like it if you could just drop me back in front of my house and not stick me here - under this ocean!
