[His head hurts.

The mess of memories is confusing. One second he's remembering yesterday as it really was. The next, he's remembering things that don't make sense. Are they together or apart? Did that battle really happen, or is his mind making it up?

The sense of being alone is enough to jolt him badly, gasping and yelping in alarm] Agito-! No...alone, that's right...but...nnn.

[He remembers this device on his head] What's going on...my head huuuurts... [Whine. He doesn't understand...]

There...there was a battle, wasn't there? But...we've been here all this time...nn. It doesn't make sense...

My head...

[Curling up on the lounge here sounds like a really good idea. And burying his head in Agito's side is also a good idea. Goddamn he has a headache...his other doesn't seem to be in a much better condition, judging from the growling]


((Action open to anyone who has reason to be in Jennifer's house))

[Duo was in the gym. He was grinning a little, dressed in workout clothes that consisted of a tank top, shorts and basketball sneakers.]

Hey, all. I've got the gym set up, so, if anyone's still interested, c'mon down for some ball, huh?

=====

[As announced, Duo took over the gym during the time between classes. He had a couple basketballs out, and lowered the nets from their storage positions into play positions. He was now practicing some foul shots as he waited for people to show up.]

I have a question!

[Someone accidentally put a lot of liquid cold medicine in her tea. Sorry, Marina.]

What would someone do if they got a cavity? I'm not supposed to eat sweets [note that she never claimed not to eat sweets, but really, they'll make you fat and that's terrible] but sometimes it's hard to resist that last piece of cake. [caaaaake. where's cake? -- Midori, focus!]

But I'm not sure I want the robots putting things in my mouth, either.

[Video feed off.]



[Video feed on! Video feed on!]

I meant, like, dental things! [Flail!]

Acumen's systems tick over to midnight, and somewhere in the depths of the holding facility, dozens of little silver spheres shiver and come to life. They rise up into the air, dangling little bouquets of mistletoe, and hover in waiting for the door to open again. And when it does, they swoop out and work their way into the dome proper, making it out just in time for daybreak.

Now they're scattered all over the dome, Anissina's gifts and Eggman's souvenirs. They're seeking out people to bring together in the holiday spirit...

Whether they like it or not!

( FEELINGS and PROBLEMS )
[ It's been a while since he's visited the beach alone -- not since that time he had been confronted by Xellos -- but he didn't want to go home just yet. This might not be the weather for it, but there he is.

He's still dressed in his black flannel suit, sitting on a bundle of dark purple cloth, though the tie is undone and the ribbon has been pulled out of his shoulder-length hair that still needs to be cut. He doesn't even care if the breeze carries it across his eyes.

Around his neck hangs a silver chain, and in his fingers he's cradling an orb. Occasionally, he flips open the top of the shell and depresses the switch that ignites a small flame. Ashton is staring down at it, as if this tiny point of light would have some kind of answers for him, and he whispers to it, as if it will carry a message to its previous owner. ] I didn't get you anything, but... I hope you're having fun, wherever you are...

So, I have a question--

[Roxas has been into the yule ball, felt uncomfortable for a little bit, and then went back outside again where there are fewer people and the air is crisp and cold. He has his ATs on and is skating around on walls or shooting down the street at vehicular speeds around Sector 6 outside. He pauses, skating lazily in a circle while he thinks out his question.]

--Why are people giving each other gifts? Isn't that Santa Claus's job?

[Toothless pops up excitedly in front of the screen.] Watch this, watch this!

[He bounds over to where he's rolled some snow up to make a snowperson. Of course, it looks very sloppy and tilted so much it like it's about to fall over any second because he doesn't really have the best hands for rolling a ball of snow around to make a proper one, let alone stack them straight.

Toothless backs up a little bit, opens his mouth, and lets out a blast off blue fire. Melted snow goes flying and splatters everywhere, the snowperson completely destroyed. Toothless bounds around in a circle with the equivalent of a dragon laughing.] This is fun!

[And oh look, there's another sloppy snowperson, a little shorter and more lumpy than the other one. Toothless runs up and pounces that one, landing smack on it and smushing it into being as flat as a pancake. He rolls over onto his side and rolls around in the snow for a bit, then gets back up, straightening himself and shaking all the snow off. He starts nosing some snow, attempting to make another snowperson to tackle.]

Come play! It's more fun when you're not alone!

[Spending too much time in one place was incredibly boring. Agito was tired of sitting around doing nothing. There were no other riders here, and the dome just wasn't big enough. He'd already trained more than even he could stand.

The dark wandered past the park, arms idly folded. His cat was at his feet, following her owner happily. Agito occasionally wondered if Kasumi knew she was a cat or hanging around that puppy of Akito's was rubbing off on her. One thing he did tend to do while bored was think. He'd heard Roxas had vanished from the dome, which, while he wouldn't admit it, bothered him.

Damnit he hated this place]



((Agito's CR is lacking, so hopefully using this post to boost it!))

Oy, Marina! I wanted to let anyone know who wanted to show up for soccer practice today that, because of the weather, I'm going to be holding the lesson inside. [ He's also going to be there a full hour early. It's to have lunch with Sakura, catch her up with the first two lessons and, well, anything else that comes to her mind. ]

[Ryu has armed himself with blankets. He has one wrapped around his shoulders right now, and there's a few more in the background. He looks uncharacteristically grumpy.]

Is it really going to snow?

[This is clearly a Very Important Question.]

Good morning inmates. It is the 88th day of the third generation and newly processed criminals will be arriving over the course of the day.

A light snowfall will occur at mid-afternoon, and though temperatures will remain relatively unchanged for now, warmer and more weather appropriate clothing is recommended.

...This will be the last warning for certain parties to note that facility property is not to be destroyed, and that facility rules are not to be broken. You know who you are.

[Toothless is... not very happy at the moment. He's attempting to run.]

Noooooo! They're chasing me, they're chasing me! Go away! Stop! They won't stop! Help!

[He turns around. Some bots are trying to subdue him to get him to go to the hospital because he had a quite a few bites taken out of him by lizards yesterday. However, he doesn't really understand what a hospital is and he doesn't really understand that the bots just want to help. So he's going to lash out and swipe at a few and maybe smack a couple with his tail, sending them flying while snarling loudly, acting like the hurt, cornered, and scared creature that he is.]

Don't attack me! Small daggers! Small daggers!

[Those small daggers would be needles with tranquilizers in them because he's not calming down and he's not planning on going quietly. The dragon opens his mouth, fully prepared to shoot out a blast of fire... but he lets out a sharp noise of surprise as one bot succeeds in giving him a shot. That bot soon goes flying into some wall. The shot only makes Toothless more panicked and aggressive. Anyone want to help attempt to calm him down?]

[She's been doing as Jun said and hasn't ventured outside, instead having gathered all the flashlights she could find and made sure the shelter's first floor common area was well lit. Hopefully none of the batteries will run out...]

If anyone needs healing, come to the shelter! [THAT MEANS YOU, JUN.]

[So much mail! There's no better day to use the mail cart. Along she rolls, its pouches stuffed with letters, packages, and postcards. Given the presence of mass mailers, she will be in EVERY residential area today. She will find you, Saki, no matter what couch you crash on]

[Click here for pen pal signups~ Mail submissions for Day 86 go here!]

[The farm is beginning to look as though nothing ever happened. Pumpkin vines stretch out across once-burned ground and injured plants have begun to mend. Their time may end with the changing of the artificial season, but this way they have a chance at yielding one more crop before the frost takes them.]

[Fou-Lu sits at the edge of the tiny farm, ascended into his astral form to focus his attention on creating and maintaining a gentle autumn rainstorm over the area. It's not his usual style of magic, as it requires quite a bit more finesse than he usually applies, so he's rather focused and not particularly attentive to the world around him.]

[Of course, it's probably hard for anyone not doing intricate magic to miss the big white dragon staring at the tiny clouds.]

[Pointed wave at the camera, and then it zooms out to show the mostly empty indoor pool inside the athletic complex.] Does anyone want to go swimming?

[There's a bright towel around her shoulders and her hair is pinned up with chopsticks, as she sits at the pool's edge and kicks at the water with her feet. Yes, she could swim alone, but what's the fun in that?]

Friends! Friends! Acumen got me Hiccup's harness! We can fly now! Come to the beach! Come, come!

[Toothless is running up and down the beach, so exciteeeeed, he's going to get to fly again, yaaaaaay.]

[The blonde pays no attention to Yuuri when he asks him where he is going; ignoring the black haired kid, Wolfram simply leaves the room. Not only he can't stand being with Yuuri anymore, but there is something else he must deal with.

The room around him is spiraling and he finds it troublesome to walk straight. Weakened by the killer headache and his noisy, grumbling stomach, he stumbles his way to the waiting room outside Conrad's hospital room. Once there, the prince flops himself on one of the couches and weakly clicks the buttons on his communicator.]

[Video // Filtered from Yuuri]

The prince doesn't looks like his usual self. After 2 nights of no sleep, no food (except for the hot chocolate and the chocolate milkshake), worrying over his comatose brother AND being locked down with the annoying, idiotic ex-fiancé... Let's just say, Wolfram looks as awful as he is feeling.

He is not the kind of person to ask others to do things for him, but he's feeling too crappy to move.] Food...

Could someone bring me something to eat? I'm starving.

Wha-

[Hello Marina, have one extremely offended pint-sized dragon.]

Prison?! You gotta be kidding me! I ain't no criminal! I didn't even commit any of those crimes you got listed! Well I did kinda break the Great Stone Dragon but that ain't the point! And I ain't assaulted nobody. 'n fact, I oughta be gettin' a medal. Bitin' butts is unhygenic and nasty.

[Scowls.] Mulan better not be doin' anything stupid without me. That girl's gonna get herself sliced in half if she ain't careful.

And what's this thing on my head? A spoon?

((OOC: SO LATE. OTL We'll say that he was curled up in a ball with a massive headache yesterday, so this is his first day fully awake and out and about.))

[Good morning, Marina! Ryu is on the observation deck this morning, fishing rod in hand. He doesn't expect to catch anything, but just sitting out here with the rod and bait is comforting.]

[Anyone want to join him?]
