Requiem 001 - [ video + action ]

[whitelily]

a. ) video

[ There's a new inmate around - a pretty girl that can't be out of middle school yet and stares at the feed for a long moment before speaking, probably unsure if it's on at all. ]

Pardon me just barging in to ask but, there's got to be a piano around here, right? It'll be a problem if there isn't one...

[ And that's apparently all she has to say, because the transmission ends. She doesn't seem to be particularly worried about the general situation. ]

b. ) action

[ There's someone sleeping in the common room - just on a chair, not even leaning forward to place her head on a table. Her newbie guidelines are lying in her lap. She's been there for a long amount of time now, dare to wake her? ]

Comments

[crimson_crash]

Yeah, it's huge. Easy to get lost in if you don't have a map. You found yours, right?

[Okay, that was kind of creepy. Who wakes up like that? Red will just... ignore that for now, offering Kanon a smile instead.]

I'm new here too. Probably got here just before you did, actually, so I don't got it all figured out, but if y'need help I bet I can give you a hand.

[whitelily]

[ She smiles back, vaguely. It's hard for her to trust someone friendly to her from the start, but she's trying not to ever let that show. ]

Thank you for that... We'll have time to get used to it, at least. Lots of time, probably.

[crimson_crash]

Y... yeah, lots of time.

[It's not like Red trusts her entirely either, but it's not his style to go around accusing people. Unless she tries to shank him, he'll be friendly.]

So, uh... I got a question, but it might be kinda personal. What happened to get you put in this place? You don't hafta answer if you don't wanna.

[whitelily]

[ Kanon blinks... Ah, right, that kind of question makes sense to ask here - it's prison, so the other people might as well have committed horrible crimes. ]

I got kidnapped.

[ That's not... even half of the reason, but she hasn't told it to the police in its entirety and it'll probably take her some time to do so here ]

Now they think I have murdered a group of boys... I have not, however. How about you? If you want to tell.

[crimson_crash]

You got... kidnapped, then they threw you in here? That's even worse than... than what happened to me.

[Red sighs, cradling his head in one hand as he prepares to speak.]

A buncha thugs shot out the tires on Da-- I mean, my motorbike. Me and my sister were both ridin', but she escaped the crash without much injury and I nearly died. All I remember is them closin' in on her, and then this big flash of light...

[He rests his head on his arms, letting out another frustrated sigh. Calm, Red, calm.]

The thugs died, and I got hauled off to court. I never touched those guys, but the judge said I was guilty of murder - not even self-defense, just murder. Next thing I know, I'm wakin' up in here. ...That's my story.

[whitelily]

[ That's amazingly similar to her experience with the law system. It makes her sad... For herself, she doesn't care that she ended up here without a reason. Any place is good for her, but that doesn't mean it's good for other people. ]

It's a sad story... The court system is not very fair.

[ Adults... People told her they weren't good for anything and with things like this wondering, she's vaguely concerned as well. ]

[crimson_crash]

No... no, it ain't.

[He sits there for a minute, anger and despair clearly visible on his features, doing his best to calm down.]

Welcome to Deadman Wonderland, I guess. Enjoy your stay. It'll be the time of your life sentence. [Red chuckles, low and cynically.]

[whitelily]

[ Okay that pun was kind of nice and she'll give him a smile for that. ]

Hopefully we'll be fine if we stick to the rules and adapt.

[ Very encouraging. Settle down in prison. ]
