R R I - REHABILITATION & REINTEGRATION INITIATIVE

Characters: Reece and Becka
Setting: Courtyard, morning

( watch your back pixie )

Characters: Reece and OPEN TO ALL
Setting: Courtyard, early evening

Carmel hadn't joked about being given better food for grilling and Reece actually found himself with more to work with than just hamburgers and hotdogs, and despite everything he was almost enjoying himself. It was as close to home as he felt he cold get, decent weather, grill going, even a beer snagged from the bar, because, why not?

It was shockingly normal considering it was going to be followed up by a memorial service for Caroline, a woman he'd barely known but found himself emotionally invested in. Maybe that was just what this was, a new normal that he was still getting used to.

Characters: Eric and Reece
Setting: Courtyard, morning

( Did he just make a friend? )

Characters: Reece and Susanna
Setting: Reece's room, evening

( and unexpected vulnerability )

Characters: Reece and OPEN
Setting: Midday, level 2 balcony

It had taken longer than he would have liked to find everything he needed, bleach from the laundry room, a bucket and gloves from the tool shed, hot water from the kitchen and a sponge and brush.

It was a task he was silently dreaded, though thankfully not as big a smear of blood as he’d thought. It had dried on though by the time Reece got there and once he started, he was really forced to scrub at it to get rid of it. And he’d been at it for a bit, minus a small break when he found the broken nail shoved into one of the cracks. That had sent him back to his room to dry heave for a few minutes before he could bring himself back to work. And just like everything else, he shoved the memory away, focusing on scrubbing instead. Most of it was gone though, brush stained burgundy and sponge worn through. The bucket of bleach and hot water was a sickening color, but Reece wasn’t looking at it.

Characters: Reece and Cal, later Violet
Setting: The clinic, morning

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... )

Characters: Reece and Jason
Setting: Evening, Cafeteria
( and nothing that even vaguely resembles an answer )

Characters: Reece and Susanna
Setting: laundry room, late afternoon
( but not worse )

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: 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: Reece and Jae
Setting: Elevators, cafeteria - noon

( at least lunch was served )

Characters: Matt and Reece
Setting: Block B - Farming area, late morning

( curiouser and curiouser )

Characters: Mojo and OPEN
Setting: Pool, afternoon
Warnings: NSFW

By all rights, Mojo knew she could be doing better things with her time than this. There was apparently no shortage of work around the facility waiting to be done, and with the new additions she'd read about on the terminals, it was at least a full day's worth of catching up for her to really explore everything. Maybe in a while she would, maybe when she wanted some lunch.

For now, though? She was in love with the pool, not to mention the raft Mojo was sprawled on with one hand in the water, idly propelling her at a snail's pace. She'd grabbed a book from the library, deftly maintaining its' place and dryness with her other hand as Mojo smiled to herself. Sleeping in, breakfast, a dip in the pool that had her hair still clinging to her cheeks, and one of her favorite books? Mojo wasn't entirely sure she wanted to leave any more.

Characters: Ryan and OPEN
Setting: Courtyard, around 2:30 p.m.

Ryan grabbed the football from his room, where he’d stashed it after he found it the other day. While he was completely comfortable with having his circle of acquaintances so far being female, he knew it would look odd in the long run, and besides, he couldn’t afford not to have male ‘friends’ in this place. So one of the best bonding things he knew of was football, which he’d played through high school. Team things weren’t his favorite, but he’d done it, and he’d fit in.

He headed down to the courtyard, wondering if any of the people who commented on his journal would show up. He tossed the ball up, letting it rotate and catching it again easily. He had been a decent sportsman. He headed over to one of the benches, waiting to see if anyone was going to join him for a pick up game of sorts.
