R R I - REHABILITATION & REINTEGRATION INITIATIVE

Characters: Jae and Brady
Setting: Balcony overlooking the courtyard, early morning

( And making plans. )

Characters: Jae and Open
Setting: The Courtyard, morning

Jae had set herself up right around where the blood was, looking up towards the dark skies. It was going to storm today, she could feel it in the charge in the air. Mentally, she was narrowing down the make of the chopper that she'd heard, even if it was brief. It was better than sitting there thinking they were going to have to deal with a corpse, and she had no idea what the hell that was going to entail.

Well, that and she was really hoping Brady was over stating things when he dropped the Hannibal Lector comment. Cuz... seriously, that was a whole lot of no.

Characters: Caroline and open!
Setting: Courtyard, just before dawn

Caroline had fallen twice already. She had ripped off two fingernails – one of which was still stuck in a crack above the level two balcony. There was a blood smear halfway up the wall, but the roof was almost in sight now.

Every muscle in her body was burning. Each limb felt like lead and her arms and legs trembled with the effort of keeping going. She had been right – the climb to the roof had been almost impossible. But she’d made it.


( Or she thought she had... )

Location: Kitchen
Time: Late Evening
Who: Antoine and Open

( Snipsnip )

Character: Brady

Characters: Kasper, Cal, Reece, Brady
Setting: Medical

( break what's not )

Characters: Jason, Reece, Wren, Leandro, Brady, Kasper
Setting: Courtyard, early afternoon

There was a twinkle in Kasper’s eye. A small hint of life outside her anger that roared awake as she left her spot perched above the coop of chickens, all running around like their heads were cut off. She had taken the time to finally retreat back into her room quickly, take the most lightning fast shower she could and change out of the old clothes from the day before. The blood washed away from her hands, but the bruises on her neck and knuckles remained.

Having thrown on a pair of torn jean shorts and black tshirt with some long since broken up band logo on it, Kasper locked her door and made her way to the farm end of the facility. The black fabric of her large shirt hung over the bones of her hips like sheets in the wind and by the time she had wandered back from the farm, she had tied one bottom corner to the side in a knot, showing part of her skeleton figure below it.

She took a slow, satisfying walk towards the stocks in the courtyard of block A after returning to complete the satisfying scratch to her itch. With a wide grin and prowling wander horizontally across the grass to get a better look at those ahead, Kasper unclasped her hands from her back, a single, fat tomato firmly grasped in one hand. She tossed it gently in her hand. “Now, which one of you gets the prize,” she whispered to herself, beginning to approach closer.

Wren had been sort of hovering around the edges (out of Caroline's view) just to be sure nothing happened. Like, for instance, what was about to happen when she spotted a woman she'd not really seen much of previously. But that didn't stop her, as she immediately rushed to get into her path before she reached her clear destination. "No." Wren said firmly. "You are not going to be throwing that at the helpless."

( i ask you why you did it )

Characters: Autumn and Brady
Setting: Pool, late morning

( It would be fine. )

Characters: anyone heading to the kitchen
Setting: the kitchen

Jae and Brady headed into the kitchen, and Jae went straight to the coffee pot to put some on. Sighing, she considered, then shrugged, and started getting out ingredients to make a big ole batch of french toast for anyone who wanted any. "French toast, coming up for anyone hungry!"

Characters: everyone in the courtyard
Setting: the courtyard

Wren returned from Caroline's room, and walked back up to the stocks, looking around at the divided group. "Caroline has agreed to come down, however she requests that everyone leave. She does not want to have anyone out here when she does so. She's quite afraid for her safety and I believe this will be the only way she feels safe. Let us all respect her wishes. I recommend sheets to put over her and Ryan to protect them from the sun, and we can deal with more issues should they arise. But for right this moment, please, return to your rooms, or find someplace else to be, so she can feel safe."

Characters: Charlie and open to all!!
Setting: The Courtyard, following directly on from this scene

Charlie decided that, if they were ever going to reach a conclusion about this bullshit, someone was going to have to take charge. Proper charge. And that, he decided, may as well be him.

He jumped up onto one of the stocks and balanced himself, raised up above the milling people and standing on what was the focus of their conversations, if not their direct attention. "Okay, people. Look - I get it. We've been put in a shitty situation. Apparently, two people here have fucked up. Nobody's bothered to tell us how, or give us any information, other than the fact that we're meant to put them into these things here." He banged his foot hard several times against the wood. "So, we can stand here and argue about 'human rights' and 'cruel and unusual punishment' and what the fuck they will do to us if we don't bow to their every command. But, really, it comes down to a simple choice: are we doing this or not?" He let that question linger for a moment or two, then continued. "So, what I suggest is a really simple check. Everyone who thinks that we should go ahead with the punishment as mandated, go stand over by the tool shed. Those that think we should look up at the cameras and say 'fuck you' to the people watching? You go stand by the gym. Let's see what we all think. Vote with your feet people!" he announced, before jumping down, and heading right over to stand by the gym. He leaned against the building, waiting to see what everyone else would do.

Characters: everyone attending stocks-a-palooza
Setting: block A courtyard, early morning

Jae had read her notes on the computer. So this is where everything takes the turn into horror! went through her head. Jesus. She also read a note saying chickie-poo wasn't about to participate in a voluntary fashion.

Heading down to the courtyard, she checked out the stocks there. She imagined ones with just room for a head and wrists, but they weren't set up like that. These, she was guessing, were for ankles and wrists. Looking up at the sky, she didn't see many clouds up there.

Sitting down on top of the closest set of stocks, she waited for other people to arrive.

Characters: Brady and Kasper
Setting: The Farm, midday

( Or maybe it's loses? )

Characters: Jae and Brady
Setting: Music Room, late morning

( we shall make beautiful music together. or something. )

Characters: Charlie and OPEN
Setting: Morning, under the trees in the courtyard

Charlie's head was swimming Of course, that had a whole lot to do with the fact that he'd drunk half a bottle of whiskey for breakfast in a very short amount of time. But he'd successfully found his room. He'd left some less-than-legible comments on the journals, and then he'd headed out. The day was a nice one and he'd settled himself down where he'd told Autumn he would: under the trees in the courtyard, one hand under his head, his eyes half closed as he waited to see if the world would stop spinning.

Characters: Brady and Susanna
Setting: Pool, very late night

( ...you have no self respect. )

Characters: Brady and Pippa
Setting: Cafeteria, afternoon

( ...to make a choice like this. )

Who: OPEN
When: Afternoon, but ongoing
Where: Pool

Perched on the edge of the diving board, Mazie said, watching her feet high above the water. She was already half-wishing she'd decided to bring that oversized t-shirt she had forgone earlier because she had a feeling she would be here most of the day and as nice as the bathing suit was, she wasn't sure if she could handle it all day. Still, she swung her feet a little, making sure to keep her eyes open for newcomers into the pool party. As soon as shenanigans started happening, Mazie would be ready to get up and off this diving board. As nice as it was to sit on it now, she wasn't about to put herself near it when more people were around and trying to get everyone into the pool. She was more than happy just to watch the water.

Character: Brady and OPEN
Setting: Kitchen, almost 5am

( The hollow ache wouldn't be ignored... )
