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! ]

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...]

[impureheart]

[ When her roommate does arrive, it is unlikely that Kanbaru will feel like she's encountered a friend. After all, when Anastasia opens the door, she steps with all the confidence of a queen and doesn't so much as spare a glance for her before she kneels down to check beneath the bunk bed, then not finding what she is apparently checking for, she turns her eyes to Kanbaru. ]

The top bunk is mine. Do not think of going near it or me unless you're given permission first and upon each occasion. Do we have an understanding?

[ambivalentpaws]

[Well. That was a surprise. What was she expecting, really, though? This was prison--one of the toughest ones, at that. So of course her roommate would be tough as nails.]

You can have the top bunk. [The woman was older than her so that means she'll behave. A little bit. At least she's hot.]

I can look, right?

[impureheart]

Of course, darling. [ Satisfied with the response, her expression turns to a bright smile rather quickly. ] It'd be a shame to not allow you to admire beauty when you see it. Look, but don't touch and we'll get along splendidly.

[ambivalentpaws]

[She nods. She's quite bit older than her type... but Senjougahara was out of her reach now. The sudden thought makes her focus upwards as she lays on the bottom bunk.]

Sure. Not sure how long we're going to be able to stay in here anyway--what with those games and all.

[impureheart]

I've every intention of returning here after each and every one of those games. The question is whether or not you intend to do that as well.

[ If she's agreeable as a roommate from here on out, at the very least Ana won't bother to intentionally eliminate her until she gives in. ]

[ambivalentpaws]

Of course!

[That makes her sit up with a stretch. She confessed to the crime she committed. That didn't mean she was at peace with what she's done. Not yet. Her senpai must still hate her for what she's done--Kanbaru can't just give up until she at least gets the chance to apologize.]

I've got stuff I want to do on the outside. Can't give up until I finish that up. Besides, I'm still an athlete!

[impureheart]

An athlete.

[ This line of inquiry is something that interests her, though it's not necessarily useful yet. ]

What sort?

[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. ]

[angeluslapsus]

[Steve, or as he preferred to be called - Castiel, rolled over in his top bunk, which he had already claimed so that he could be closer to Heaven.
He flipped over again and found himself heading for the floor. It happened so quick he couldn't stop himself and within seconds he found himself on the cold floor.
He didn't dare make any noise, he didn't want the people to come back. He wanted to keep quiet and then plan his escape in the middle of the night somehow.
When he sat up, he held his head, and stared right at his cell mate. Great, so the greasy-haired jerk had witnessed that. There went his pride.]

[vaframenti]

[ Loki simply couldn't contain his laughter at the sight he had just witnessed. If this was any indication of the type of entertainment his companion would provide him, life in hell might not be quite as bad as he had imagined.

Placing the manual under his pillow for safekeeping, he emerged from his own bunk and offered a hand to his fallen roommate. ]

Shall I help you stand or do you plan on sitting down there for a while longer?

[angeluslapsus]

[The laughter of Steve's cell mate pissed him off. He tried to hold off from snapping, but after it went on, he couldn't resist any longer.]

Shut up, assbutt.

[Grumpily, Steve took the man's hand when it was offered. He had pinched a nerve on his arm and didn't have the strength to get himself back up off the floor.]

I'll be fine. Thanks.

[vaframenti]

[ The man's response only made it harder for Loki to keep a straight face. Where had he learned a word like that? Preschool? He bit his lip to contain a snicker.

He was surprised that the stranger would accept his aid after serving up such a juvenile insult, but Loki grasped his hand and helped him to his feet anyway.

What an absolutely intriguing cellmate he had acquired. ]

A bit grumpy this morning, are we?

[angeluslapsus]

You would be too if you fell from a bed.

[He grunts, holding his head as he wobbles over to the toilet in case he has to throw up. How demeaning, to throw up in front of this guy. It was the last thing he wanted.
After standing for a few minutes and no results, he turned to him. He didn't even care for a name at this moment even though it had probably been relayed to him.]

Did I miss lunch? Was too depressed to wake up in time.

[vaframenti]

You put such a dreary spin on it. Imagine it as a lesson on how not to fly.

[ Loki raised a brow as the other man shakily ventured toward their humble plumbing unit, seeming as though he was about to vomit. He sighed and turned his vision elsewhere, deciding to stare at his pillow in favor of witnessing a stranger exorcising his demons.

With their conversation unfinished in his mind, there was nothing else to but lean against the wall and wait. He would leave the cell in due time, but it would be flat out idiotic to go before he knew who it was that would be sleeping above his head every night for the rest of his living days.

After several minutes of silence, Loki felt a pair of eyes gazing his way. He never had to look to know when he was being stared at. It was a sense he had developed a long time ago. Before he could speak his own mind, the stranger began rattling on about lunch and being sad. Loki took his own turn at staring. ]

Tell me you're joking. It's barely past seven in the morning. Did you honestly miss that blaring announcement?

[angeluslapsus]

Oh.

[That was all Steve could manage to say. So it had been even less time than he thought.
Wonderful.

He tried to climb his way back up to his bunk, but gave up after a brief case of vertigo. He opted to sit back on the toilet instead. He took in Loki's appearance, his eyes narrowing before he spoke.]

Do you ever wash your hair?

[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.]

[evokes]

[Minako herself isn't too bothered by the idea of having a roommate, she at least hoped they would be nice. Then again, maybe even hoping for "nice" in a place like a prison was too much to ask for... Which is why she's incredibly surprised when she sees Rise in the room--being the music-loving person she is, she definitely recognizes her, and the surprise shows on her face.]

--are you Risette? [IS SHE SERIOUSLY MEETING AN IDOL IN PRISON.]

[risetting]

[She knew this was coming to her eventually. She just didn't expect her roommate to know who she was. With a solemn smile on her face Rise shakes her head.]

No, I'm not.

[evokes]

... huh. [Minako probably shouldn't be surprised really since why on earth would an idol like Risette be in prison, but if she says she isn't, well. As it was, there was no reason not to believe her.] It's just that you really look like her-- I'm sorry, you must get this a lot.

[risetting]

Ha, ha, don't worry... it's fine.

[There's a hollow laugh that escapes her as she scratches the back of her head.]

Anyway, it looks like we'll be rooming together! [Trying to stay chipper and positive, at least Minako doesn't look like a crazy weirdo.] I'm Rise, by the way. Rise Kujikawa.

[evokes]

[Chipper and positive, now that's something Minako can work with.]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Rise-san! I'm Minako Arisato. It's not exactly the best circumstances, but here's to rooming together.

[risetting]

It's nice to meet you too, Minako-chan. [She's hesitant, but:] And yeah, I know.

[evokes]

[She gives a bit of a wry smile.] I just hope the circumstances don't get any worse, y'know? Although I guess that might be asking for much in a prison.
