My, isn't thiiiis a pleasant surprise~ ♥ It's so nice to be able to move around again that I can't even complain about the lack of lights~~

Ah, but I can't exactly cook without power, can I~? Such a dilemma~

Hey, not to step on anybody's feet, and not to suggest that rogue vampires are a police problem, but -- I've been thinking that if we want a better police force, we can just go ahead and make one. I checked with the AI and it said it would give us weapons and information.

I'm okay with doing the planning and organizing and the annoying part. So all I need to know is, who would be interested in lending a hand? Willing to get up in people's faces and take action if we had trouble?

[There is the sound of plinking and clanging of the piano Sora's trying out, due to Senti's suggestion]

Hey, Tallahasse, what ever happened with that Twinkie hunt?

Anyway, I've been thinking [no jokes!] and I was wondering, what does everyone dream about? I have a lot of dreams. Riku says I talk in my sleep. I think he's just trying to tease me. But, yeah. What do you dream?

What a stupid boring place!

It's probably all mom and dad's fault. They don't know anything because grown ups are stupid!

Who's gonna take me and Kaoru home now?

Ugh. What, did I wake up in a zoo now? [Tiny children shrieking in ear. Tsk.

After a brief sigh his voice becomes loud, sarcastic, and yet...playful.]

Mommies must be the greatest people in the world! I guess it's just funny that you're all making such a big deal out of them.

[Pause]

'Course I wouldn't know the reason.

[Hey, if you're paying attention, you miiight just hear someone taking a deeeeeep deep breath over the communicator. But unless you've got quick reflexes and yank your headset off right at that moment, you're probably going to be deafened in one ear, sorry]

OOOOIIII! AAAAACE!!!

[Never mind that his brother is sitting a mere fifteen feet away from him in the same room. Everyone else was yelling for people, right?]

Usually, it doesn't get cold enough to snow in Shibuya. I don't think I have ever actually witnessed snow before. What's so appealing about colder weather?

[Or if he has... It's been a while.]

Admittedly, the trees make a rather interesting canvas.

This bites..

[Even the usually cheerful pirate isn't his happy self today; while being in chains wasn't something new for him, having his fire taken away again was seriously eating at his mind. When had this place figured out about sea stone (which could take away his powers) and why the hell did it suddenly get pissed off and chain everyone up? Clearly, he should start paying better attention to the radiowaves.

Right now, however, he was more concerned with taking care of his younger brother. The idiot might do something stupid(er than normal) with his powers gone as well. He kept a close eye on Luffy up until they were ushered into the showers. Then Ace lost sight of him.]

OOOII! LUFFY!! DON'T PICK UP THE SOAP!!

[Which is why Ace immediately had his hands cupped over his mouth as he shouts his warning through the bathing room. Sorry about your ringing ears, everyone.]

CRIMINAL?

CRIMINAL?

SOMEONE BETTER COME UP AND TELL ME THIS IS EITHER A LOUSY JOKE OR BAD REALITY TV, OI -

[It's midday when Gokudera opens his eyes in Marina Asylum for the first time. As soon as he notices that he's not in his room at the Vongola base, he jackknifes in the bed he'd awakened in. The welcome message scrolling across the screen in front of his eye is scanned quickly, but being in prison is not his number one priority]

WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO THE TENTH?!

[Is wandering around without a communicator on, looking very lost, very confused, and more than a little blond.]

Excuse me... uh, I don't understand any of you, but if any of you understand me, can you point me to the food? It's been since this morning, and I could use a bite, so...

Oh! If you've seen any explosions lately, that might help me too.

But mostly, if somebody could just direct me to the food, that would be great...

So... just out of curiosity...

Are there any pirates or ninja here?

Because if there are, I can probably die happy.

Good morning, criminals! It is advisable to avoid the Sector 4 dolphin observatory deck, as we are currently in the process of renovating it to include a beach, with genuine, guaranteed-clean sand and exotic palm trees where you can enjoy the water along with the dolphins. This process is resulting in a great deal of turmoil.

This system is also undergoing the seasonal change undertaking. Please be patient as non-automated system processes may slow during this time.

[Axel's had a bad day. A very BAD. DAY. Actually, no, make that a bad week.

Axel's been impatient as of late, and to hear that Roxas is prancing around with some...punk ass skater instead of him riles him up something awful. A.K.A. he's jealous.

And now what? Xion, one of the few people around here that treats him nicely and takes him seriously isn't listening to him and now she's running around with perverted STRANGERS!

Axel's tired of running around in circles, losing what matters most, and getting nowhere fast. This is not his levelheadedness shining through tonight.]

BURN!! What's so special 'bout this...AGITO anyway!? Huh?

[If you're still awake you'll find him in the Athletic Center on one of the baseball fields, jumping backward while tossing his chakrams in random directions and hurling fire balls at them until they disintegrate with a loud bang. He's going at this despite how quickly he's tiring himself out.

Oh, and by the way? The communicator is on, tossed on the ground, so you'll be able to see all the fire and hear the venomous yelling as clear as day.]

PRISON. YOU THINK IT'S CUTE DROPPIN' ME HERE WITH A BUNCH-A IDIOTS!? I'M SICK AN' TIRED OF IT!! COULDN'T'VE JUST LET ME...DIE!!

[Laying down on the beds in his and Wolfram's room.]

Hey everyone, I posted the baseball teams in the common room, so check it out when you get a chance. Let me or Suzaku know if there are any problems. And you can always sign up even if you've never played before!

Hey Conrad, I need to talk to you about something when you get a chance. In person if possible.

((OOC: Action open to Conrad and Wolfram.))

[A very strange looking person is standing in the middle of sector three, looking disgruntled as new arrivals tend to do. He's examining the communicator, pressing various buttons before activity the feature that posts on the network.]

Alright, so who's going to explain to me just what the hell's going on here? Where am I and why the hell is this place such a freakin' dump? You know what? Someone just point me to the guy in charge down here. I wanna have a few words with 'em about some of these crimes I'm being charged for, the pirate thing is bullshit. ...Heh. Though I gotta say, you have me pegged down for the rest of em.
