Quite frankly, I can take a guess at who's running this show.

How many of you were accused of crimes that you didn't commit?

Maybe next they'll be becoming 'giants' as well.

Maybe there's no limit to what you can become.

... That guy'd like such a thing too much. Probably.

[Doooon't mind her, she is confused after sort of listening to everyone throughout the morning and... she's sulky and wants to go home. Logical brain cannot comprehend how things work around these parts quite yet and Machi doesn't like. 8(]

[Conrad hears some commotion on his communicator, but for some reason he's slower than usual to clear the sleepy fog from his mind. He feels warm, like another person is wrapped all around him...]

[Strange, that. Conrad opens his eyes and finds -- Vash is much larger than he remembered. What...? Conrad sits up and finds that his pajama pants, as well, are far larger than he remembered. And his hands are smaller...]

...In the name of the Great One, what happened here?

*****

[After a bit of confusion and a lot of effort finding new clothes, Conrad is navigating the corridors and trying to find out the extent of the problem and make sure things are okay. Hopefully this is temporary, because among other things he can't carry his sword like this.]

(OOC: backlogged to just after waking up, for the first bit. First part of this post (waking up) is closed to Vash and anyone who comes knocking on the door -- which is so welcome! -- and second part (hallway) is open to anyone who wants to find a tiny Conrad!)

Good evening, Residents! For those who I have not yet met or spoken to, my name is Aidou. It's a pleasure~

[There is a grinning blond holding a stack of papers with one hand extend as if holding something away from him.]

For the last few days I have been gathering as much information as I possibly can on the various worlds that have been connected through our presence here in Marina, and yet despite my strides in research, I have found very little overall.

So I'm posting these few yet very important questions to you, so that I can collect more data. Involvement in this surveying process is completely optional, but the more we know the more we can learn! If you want to participate, but do not want to give your answers over the network, then I can be found in the primary common room near the kitchens with the questions in paper-form. With pencils and pens!

( Onto the Questions! )

That is all! [Aidou winks, the more serious atmosphere broken.] For now. Thank you for your participation~

{OOC: Backdated to around sunset. Aidou is sitting on one of the commons room couches outside the kitchen flipping through the papers in his lap as he waits for responses. Bug him or comment to each other if you want! This log is open like a dimensional tear.}

Helloo lovely residents of Marina! I have some fabulous news for you all! Though we may come from different worlds and times, we all have one thing in common: Everyone wants to look their best! Right? Of course.

So I present to you all.. the perfect place to come for all your hair care and beautifying needs!

Look no further than the lovely little shop located in sector 5 with the other businesses.

Hope to see some of you there soon~

[Fail!Screened to Riku]

Thank you so much for the help. I loved the way your body moved and lean muscles flexed while you put things together I loved the way your body moved and lean muscles flexed while you put things together.

Hika - !

[And stops right there. Hikaru, if he's even here, would prbably still be upset with him. Probably doesn't want to talk to him either...]

Well this isn't any fun. Who's the person behind this little prank? I'd like to file a complaint.

If you're trying to go with a prison theme, at least make the place look like one. Because, really, this is boring. Not realistic at all.~


((ooc: He needs a tag gais... ;A;))

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.

[Laying on the cot in his room, looking uncomfortable and unwell rests Zero. Resting on his side with his eyes shut, hands clenching tightly the blankets around him. Though you might not get to see him, if he's someone you've spoken to often or know him well...you may notice he doesn't sound exactly like himself. It probably sounds like he's tired, voice scratchy and a little more distractable than usual.]

There was nothing different on that disk.

I'm still being harrassed into attending that school by those two nosy busybodies that won't leave me alone.

I'm still hunting vampires at night.

I'm still slated to become the next president of the Vampire Hunter Association.

Wasn't that a pointless exercise?

( OOC )

[Bakura pulls the last tray of cookies out of the oven, setting it next to the bowls of dozens of other cookies. There are snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, one plate of brownies, russian wedding cakes, chocolate crinkles...needless to say he hadn't been able to sleep and had gotten up early to start baking. He liked to do it when he was stressed, and needless to say, he had been stressed. Now he just needs to get rid of them all.]

If anyone is interested, I've made a few batches of cookies. Come on by and grab some, if you would like.

[Cornelia is walking through the gardens, perhaps hoping to run into her sister who had been making herself scarce lately. Her expression is thoughtful.

She had attended the party yesterday, but only for the sake of procuring her mini-disc. She'd watched her future play out with someone who looked and sounded just like her in the starring role.

Unnerving was an apt description of the experience, if a bit understated.

There would be much to correct if once she returned.]

[Somewhere in the library, Shigure sits huddled over a book. His forehead is creased in confusion as he scratches his head and makes a huffing sound that is probably much louder than necessary. The book he is currently pouring over in such meditative concentration is entitled 'An Idiot's Guide to Cooking'.]

Hmmnnn. But I thought... [He sighs.] At this rate, it would be best if I just eat the mystery bot food. Surely there has to be something in here that I can do aside from boiling water~

Anyone interested in breakfast prepared by a human?

I believe in particular I owe shio ramen to Joshua Kiryu, and Nina, I know you tend to forget about eating...

[Light sigh. Sebastian doesn't sound terribly irked, but he is just the teensy weensiest bit.]

To the individual who...attempted to put my suit through the wash, I am afraid you neglected to separate the clothes well enough.

[Brief video shot of these laid out on his bed.]

Last night I discovered these clinging to the fabric of my jacket. It's understandable how you missed it; both articles of clothing are...black.

Now, to the madam or sir who owns these two pieces of clothing, I will gladly return them to you once the chores for today are through, or if you're too embarrassed you can stop by and retrieve them yourself whenever you so wish. How embarrassed you must be.

[OOC: sorry he died for a long while. but he's back now, so...yay~]

A-ACHOO!

[She sneezes, before covering her eyes a bit. They had been a bit sensitive to the light today. At least it wouldn't be too long now until they began to dim, signifying that it was supposed to be night. On hands and knees she rubbed a hand across them tiredly, smearing a bit of dirt, very un-pureblood princess-y like across her nose and face. She had been up too early. If it was to bed early today as well...she wouldn't mind.]

I know I said I wanted to see the gardens... but forced labor wasn't really my idea of a good time..

[She didn't mind work. Just not under these circumstances.]

Does anyone need any extra help?

[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~?
