R R I - REHABILITATION & REINTEGRATION INITIATIVE

Characters: Everyone at the Masquerade
Setting: The courtyard, evening-night

The decorations had been set up with the help of a ton of people, music was getting played, and there were costumes for everyone. The night was going to be great, hopefully, just what everyone needed. Autumn looked around from the second floor balcony, and smiled, thinking this couldn't be better. It was exactly what she'd wanted it to be.

Who: Grace and Carmel
Setting: Late Morning, Kitchen

Grace was someone who almost entirely subsisted on coffee, so it wasn't shocking for her to show up in the kitchen around ten or so in the morning, looking to make herself another pot of it. One that she would be more than willing to share, if for no other reason than, if she drank all of it herself, then she'd end up with the shakes, and that was never good or attractive.

After setting up the coffee pot to do its thing, she started to gather a coffee cup and the sugar and creamer that she would need. She liked more coffee than creamer and sugar mixed together, but she still enjoyed a little of both in her stuff.

Settling at one of the small tables, she waited for the coffee maker to finish its thing.

Characters: Wu and OPEN to all involved
Setting: Courtroom, 9 AM

"Understand that I am neither prosecution or defense," Wu said as he looked over the jury, "I am not here to argue these cases or answer your questions relating to them. I am here only to present the basis of each. Anything more, you must ask the law enforcement staff or the accused themselves."

He was as composed and unreadable as he'd ever been, pacing around in front of the long table that situated the jury. His temper was coiling with impatience, but this wasn't the place for it to come loose. "In the case of fights, of which there have been several, keep in mind that guilt may be assigned to both parties for taking part, and that sentencing ultimately rests in your hands as well. Neither verdicts or sentences must be unanimous, only held by a majority. Let us begin."

Characters: Becka and any of those invited and any who drop in uninvited
Setting: Cafeteria, evening

All of her stuff was packed and ready to go, she'd let the administration know of her decision to graduate rather than return to the prison population, and now she was getting ready to go to the little 'party' she'd organized. She'd felt just a little silly making that invitation in the program on the computer, but it was cute and she rather thought this place needed a little silly. Besides, she wanted to leave here on a positive note.

It was a little bit before the time she'd set for the party when Becka headed down the stairs and across the courtyard to the cafeteria, Polaroid camera in hand. She'd showered and changed, not wearing long sleeves for the first time since her ordeal, put on just a little bit of makeup, more to cover the circles under her eyes. She managed to make it to the cafeteria first and headed for a table near a wall, pushing herself up to sit on it facing the entryway, waiting to see who would make it.

Characters: Charlie, Grace, Wren, Evan and Wu
Setting: The courtyard, 1 P.M.

Forethought definitely let Wu make it all look easy; it had only taken a bit of planning and a wilful redirection of his thoughts to keep himself on task and timely, and in the end? He’d laden the picnic table in the courtyard with two generous bowls of food, four empty bowls to eat from and utensils to do so, and even a serving platter with mugs and a tea pot.

He’d learned a great deal over the course of his life, so even if lessons of etiquette and presentation had come later? They had still been retained, and were definitely observed now. Unreadable in his expression, Wu seemed at ease as he spread the empty bowls and utensils between four seats, laying cutlery by three of them and a pair of chopsticks by his own. He was hopeful for a lack of conflict from Charlie, and had even taken pains to prepare a vegetarian stir fry and rice, two dishes that seemed unlikely to cause offence. But the boy was wilful, and if today saw him continue to be so? Wu would just have to play a very gracious host, and let the fallout fall where it would.

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: 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.
