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! ]

You-...!

[don't talk to her like that?! she snaps back a little, but she she simply stops herself. this was just how this guy was, huh? it didn't seem like he was about to change or anything. ugh, guys could be so annoying! she shook her head, looking down at the ground.]

....Of course I'm going to survive. I have people waiting for me on the outside too you know. I know I'll just go nuts in here either way, I can't even enter tournaments anymore.

[ If it helps anything, at least he seems fairly calm about it all. Sure, he might be frowning a little, but it's almost like there's no real bite behind whatever he's saying. ]

Well, if you're used to tournaments [ although he doesn't know she means battling, he's figuring sports or something ] you'll probably have a field day in here. It doesn't sound like they're just gonna let us sit around on our asses.

[sevenseconds]

Probably not...

[SHE SIGHS. this is so annoying already.]

Oh! Right. I'm Ling Xiaoyu by the way.

[she offers a hand to him.]

[moonsets]

[ Stares at the hand.

For a good moment, yes.

But then he doesn't bother to grab it or shake it. He's not planning on getting close to anyone, after all - especially not in a place like this. He can't afford it. None of them can. ]

Shinjiro Aragaki. [ At least he'll give his name, if not just because she could've just found out what it is one way or another.. ]

[sevenseconds]

[yikes! this guy is so not into people. she takes her hand back, laughing nervously.]

Shinjiro.... Shinji.... [she scratches her head.] Do I somehow find all the 'Shin' people?

[she was muttering to herself.]

[moonsets]

[ No, don't call him Shinji, only his bff can do that...!! ]

's not like it's an uncommon name. Although your name doesn't sound very Japanese. [ Since it's obviously more Chinese.. ]

[sevenseconds]

I'm from China, yeah. Moved here when I was young.

[she nods to herself.] I've just had tons of run-ins with people with similar names lately I guess. I know a Jin, Shin, and now a Shinjiro...

[moonsets]

[ For a moment he stares...

.. but then he just speaks up dryly. ]

Well, make sure you don't mess 'em up.

[sevenseconds]

I won't! You might all be moody but I can tell you apart.
