Characters: Edan and Carmel
Settings: Kitchen, early evening

Edan hadn't eaten. She'd letting Matt distract her so completely on top of he whole issue with the stocks and had one hundred percent lost track of time and made it all the way to just before dinner without eating. With little else to do she started towards the kitchen, peeking her head into the room and surveying it before entering. Just in case. Even if her stomach was growling.

Characters: Cal and Carmel
Setting: Afternoon, Clinic

Carmel was exhausted, but she knew after building the shade for Ryan and Caroline that she wasn't going to get to sleep any time soon. So she decided to do what Becka recommended after she went to splash her face with water again and put on a little more make-up to hide the tiredness.

She decided to try the infirmary first, thinking the walk would probably do her some good. She stifled a yawn in the elevator and then continued into the infirmary, knocking politely on the door to see if he was there, or if she should have started with his room in the first place.

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: Jeremy and Violet
Setting: Block B elevator, midday


Someone else might have fought back, but the shackles and blindfold were quite off-putting and had almost diminished Jeremy’s struggling. Really, this was unnecessary in his mind. He hadn’t gotten that far outside of the prison before they caught him. There was no need to treat him like some sort of hardened criminal. Once he was free though he raised a hand to protest finally, instead he was shoved a bag and left, not entirely alone in an elevator. An elevator he only completely figured was an elevator when it moved and he jumped slightly. It’s a stupid metal box. You’ve been in thousands. Stop acting like this is the first time. A simple mental chastising, but it worked as he opened his bag to see what was inside after casting a glance and something close to a smile at his companion.

Violet wasn't used to being treated like a crazy dangerous criminal either. She'd been in a prison(not even that long) that was minimum security, and was kind of breezy, as far as prisons went. So far as she understood, anyhow. Her first task was to look through the bag she had for her glasses, because she was blind as a bat if she wasn't wearing them. Her contacts hadn't been allowed previously, though she found the case and supplies for them along with her black framed glasses. Putting them on and immediately pushing them up the bridge of her nose, she looked over at the man who was sharing the elevator with her. She smiled, and waved, a little wiggle of her fingers. "Hellooo." she greeted.
( definitely somewhere new )

Characters: Autumn and Brady
Setting: Pool, late morning

( It would be fine. )

███ ◊ E V E N T ◊ ◊ July 9th - midday ◊ ◊ E V E N T S ◊ Jeremy and Violet are put into the elevator (their blindfold and shackles are removed once they are in the block B elevator and they are not given any opportunity of talking with any guards etc). They are given bags containing their clothes and a room key stamped with the correct room number. The elevator goes up and the doors open onto the open room. They are left to find their own way to their rooms. ◊ C O M M U N I C A T I O N S ◊ New residents receive this welcome message on their computer. The message blinks until it is read.

Characters: Kyle and Leandro
Setting: Morning - courtyard, cafeteria, Leandro's room

As the crowd began to disperse, Leandro was amongst those who eventually left his post and stalked back up the yard, his shoulders drawn up around his face. He didn't bother to look back or wait for anyone else; his compassion had run out on him. It seemed there was a limit to how much disappointment he could handle before he abandoned it for the typical layer of iron around him. It was easier that way, not to expect much from anyone, but now he had to mull it over and try to take it in stride that one of those he felt so despondent for was Wren herself. Despite everything he would have thought about her, she was the one who put the victims to the stocks and locked them in. He could no longer keep her colored with the same innocence in his mind. It felt like the bubble of gentle exposure he'd been experimenting with for the past few days had thoroughly burst.

As he walked he was not paying much attention to where he was going, though his clip was fairly fast for him. He was headed in the direction of the cafeteria, since something was supposed to be there and no matter how he felt he wasn't willing to just leave it on the ground for the poachers to pick over. It could have been something useful. As he went his eyes skimmed over the ground beneath him, the grass brushing past his boots.

Kyle had kept to the side throughout the entire proceedings, talking to the odd person here and there, but never for very long. As everyone else disbursed, he considered whether he should really stay with Meg, but in the end decided that he couldn’t watch her night and day. After all, that was why he’d asked Adam to help in the first place, and he knew he couldn’t put so much responsibility on his own shoulders - especially unasked.

In the end, he headed off towards the cafeteria. He wanted to see whether the items he had requested for himself and Leandro last night had arrived. It was only belatedly that he realised he was following the man himself. The man who was quite clearly unhappy with him today.

But Kyle had never been a coward or one to edge away from a difficult issue. He preferred to deal with matters head on. Lengthening his stride, he caught up with Leandro as they entered the cafeteria and reached out to place a hand on his forearm. “Hey - can we talk?” he asked.

( And then they talked... )
