Grand opening!

[avibusraris]

[As soon as it's 7:00 am, there is a loud beep that echoes through the corridors of the prison. It's time for an announcement as the intercom comes on.]

Good morning my wonderful criminals, how are you all feeling? Don't worry, I can assure you that dizzy spell will wear off as soon as you get up and stretch those legs of yours. Be careful of your collar as well, as you might have guessed it has all sorts of functions! Also, today is December 8th, Sunday, and it's currently 7 am.

Now, it would be in your best interest to read your manuals that we've given you, just so you can get nice and settled in.

I'm afraid it's a little cold outside, if you have time to check the courtyards then you'll most likely feel that winter's breeze on your rosy little cheeks! Do be careful, I don't want any of you getting frostbite on your first day, that would be tragic.

Since it's the grand opening for you new comers, we are currently holding a small party in the cafeteria! Grab your soon-to-be-friends and head on down. We have tables set up and food as well!

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

[With that being said, the doors to the cells now slide open, allowing the inmates to leave their rooms.

In the cafeteria majority of the tables have been cleared away, and the ones that remain have red tablecloths on them, nice and fancy! The spread consists of luxurious food, even sweets of all kinds. Since it's December, it seems that the warden is in a rather giving mood, aren't you all lucky! ]

THE FEAST

[avibusraris]

[come enjoy all this food! fill up your plate and go sit down, inmate!]

[ambivalentpaws]

[Oh thank you, merciful Warden! Kanbaru always feels better with food in her stomach--even if this isn't the best situation at all. It was kind of her fault but... Well. She might as well have food before, ah, the games or whatever.

She needs to be in her top form, after all.]

[sevenseconds]

[hey, at least there's food.

as xiaoyu makes her way over to the tables, she spots a girl looking rather thoughtful by the food.]

Um.... are you... praying?

[lotuslegend]

[ Considering less than a week ago she was nearly starving, and that this whole situation might have resolved itself should she have been fed, it's rather odd that Reimu is not eating.

She's staring down at her plate with a blank expression on her face.

After a few moments, though, she starts prodding a pile of noodles. ]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[Silver-haired with her prison jumpsuit unbuttoned just enough down the front to give anyone around a decent look at her cleavage, Maya set her tray down at the table and looked down at the dark-haired girl.]

Beat it, girl. This table is mine.

[sevenseconds]

[xiaoyu takes a seat beside the girl, her own plate filled with meats and rice, ready to be devoured.

she hated it here, she could tell already that something was... off about this place. why did they even have collars?!

but she looked over at the girl that was poking at her food.]

Hey, you gotta eat that to get big and strong, y'know?

[impureheart]

[ The red tablecloths and fancy food are a warm welcome to Anastasia. After all, she hadn't expected the scenery to be remotely familiar when she'd arrived here but those types of things? They're at least almost at her level.

Almost. There's something missing without her two hand-picked butlers to wait on her every whim.

Despite that she very well knows this treatment won't last much longer than this, she has her legs crossed and her attention appears to be away from the food, only idly eating as though she were plucking grapes from a plate. Her eyes do appear to be darting across the room, though, as though trying to decide exactly which individual is the right choice to speak with. Of course, she won't ignore you if you speak to her first. Probably. ]

[vaframenti]

[ Of all the prisoners assembled in the cafeteria, there seemed something particularly unique about the woman who sat alone. It was almost as if she was royalty with the way she sat and presented herself. Just as intriguingly, there was what seemed to be a shadow of trepidation in her eyes as they fluttered about studying the room. Was she in search of something?

Loki stood and pondered for a moment, wondering if he should approach her. He truly had nothing to lose at this point, and she did seem at least vaguely interesting. His mind made up, he quietly approached her from behind, suddenly leaning forward to catch her attention. ]

Do you enjoy sitting here all on your own?

[sevenseconds]

[what is her life...!!!

first she gets hassled by this organization that she hates, now she's been tossed in jail under false accusations. well, some of what she was charged with was true, but she didn't deserve anything like this!

she'd break out, she was sure of it.

until then however, xiaoyu is simply filling up her plate, might as well eat some good food while she can.]

[vaframenti]

[ It seemed so very strange to Loki that such a large number of minors were present in this bizarre prison. Already he had counted several young prisoners, and it would seem that the small Asian girl had shown her face just in time to up the statistics.

The idea of what they all could of done certainly did run through his mind more than once. Maybe they were all connected. At the very least, this place would give him many things to think about.

As he idly watched her filling her plate with an assortment of foods, he realized that he himself had not eaten well in a very long while. Longer than he would like to admit. Perhaps it was time he stepped from the sidelines and mingled a bit. ]

Excuse me. Do you mind if I join you?

[risetting]

[Rise's not really in the mood to eat. In fact, she's merely staring at her plate absently for moments on end. She knows the truth: she's not the killer. But nobody would listen to her. The press just thought that it was some sort of scandal, and didn't really care about motive.

But even so, she'll still eat, albeit a little slowly. Though she's definitely not planning to participate in this prison's so-called "performances".]

[ambivalentpaws]

[It's a bit weird to think so many people around her age was sent here. Guess everything was a bit weird these days... Kanbaru is going to sit down next to her and shove more food in her direction.]

Hey. You're going to wither away if you don't eat anything.

[evokes]

[Minako, for all intents and purposes, is a fairly small girl. Not incredibly short by any means, but she's average, and average is still on the smaller side. She doesn't look like she could shovel her way through an entire feast, but judging by the amount of food on her plate, you'd think that's exactly what she's trying to do. It's piled with food, and she has a second plate near by with just as much. Sure she's eating at a normal pace, but DOES ANYONE REALLY NEED THAT MUCH FOOD??]

[amberalert]

[ You really do have to be impressed with the set-up here. Peter is sort of enjoying himself, all things considered. What kind of prison throws you a little party? The food's not half bad and they were kind enough to provide their rulebook for their game too. It's better than a dull death sentence, that's for sure.

But what about the company?

He's sitting at one of the tables, glancing around the room with a thoughtful curiosity. Every now and then he glances down, idly testing how sharp the utensils provided are with his finger. ]

IN THE CAFETERIA

[avibusraris]

[don't feel like being around the food? then maybe you just want to sit off to the side and watch people.

they might be suspicious!]

[moonsets]

[ Mingling with people is so not Shinjiro's thing. So whereas everyone else might decide to dig in on the food right away, he sure doesn't feel like it - maybe he'll grab a bite when most people are gone, he's decided, but for now he's fine just sitting here and not being hassled.

Granted, that kind of behaviour just makes him stand out even more. But it's not like he has much of a different choice-- being antisocial is hard and no one understands.

Feel free to spot him sitting there to the side by himself, giving a glare (a lazy one, sort of, but still) to anyone who looks his way. If it doesn't scare you, then hey, feel free to approach or downright hassle him.

When he thinks most if not all people have left to wander around the hallways instead he finally decides to get a few bites of the food himself too. Feel free to catch him in the act, he probably won't even realise you're there until you speak up. ]

[cykeologist]

[The emotions in the voices that Athena could hear was scary. There were a variety of them: anger, fear, excitement, and other such things. It causes her to cover her ears in fear as her entire body shuts down, causing her to freeze in place.

Feel free to spot her, especially since she's standing there like a statue.]

THE HALLWAY

[avibusraris]

[the festivities too much for you? maybe you just want to wander the halls and check everything out, go right ahead! there are guards roaming around as well, but don't mind them, they're friends!]

Open

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[After eating, Maya decided to get the lay of the facility. With her provided map out, she's comparing it to what she sees. The guards are ignored for now, though Maya does make note of which ones look her over.

It could be useful knowledge in the future.]

Open

[eraser_rain]

[The first thing to do is read the manual and the map; he's not looking to be particularly anti-social, but pacing the open cell areas still doesn't mean making himself entirely open; nose in his manual or memorizing the map, he's aware enough to avoid running into anything, at least.

If you're visibly in your cell or returning to it, he'll make no secret of looking up and watching you as if memorizing your face and where you're staying.

Acclimation is key. There's a potential for a reduction of sentencing according to the manual. His legal escape plan is already being developed.

That's not to say he doesn't look panicked, a little wide-eyed and pale, even while meaning to school his expression. It's so bizarre he wants to protest the legality of such fatal and demeaning means of imprisonment, and a little too often, unaware of it himself, he fingers the line between his neck and his apparently poisonous collar.]

[tufuiegoeris]

[Phi wandered the hallways, looking for any sort of clues or hints. How is it December 8th? She remembers the date being December 25th. This is terribly wrong and Phi is restless. She might be suspicious of anyone who walks by her because there is tension in the air.]

IN THE CELL

[avibusraris]

[just getting up? pacing your room? wanting to have a conversation with your roommate? then go right ahead!]

[ambivalentpaws]

[This certainly was a smaller room than she had back at her grandparents. Less filled with books, too. It's to be expected... Kanbaru hasn't seen her roommate yet, so she decides to just take up space on the bed and stare at the ceiling with a sigh.

She really messed up this time, huh...]

[vaframenti]

[ Though a shrill beep echoed it's way through the halls of Deadman Wonderland, Loki did not flinch. He didn't move at all. In fact, he only idly listened as the warden spoke. He had already set about reading the manual hours earlier when the dimmest rays of light had slithered their way into his cell, and was about to begin his second skim through it.

Alas, it seemed there were to be other plans for the day. He would be inclined to ponder what sort of prison held parties for its inmates, but he had already read enough to know that this place was twisted and deranged. The unsightly collar fastened around his neck was a constant reminder of that.

He sighed, wondering when his room mate would wake. He could only pray that the other man was mildly tolerable. ]

[risetting]

[Having a roommate in a place like Deadman Wonderland wasn't exactly Rise's idea of a good day out. Not only because she didn't know who the roommate was, but she hoped that it wasn't a complete snob.

Or someone who would be out to get her.]
