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?

[ambivalentpaws]

What--nah. I'm just surprised, is all!

[wow this girl is cute. a little older than Kanbaru normally goes for--wait no. focus. this is prison.]

It's like a feast, isn't it?

[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.

[lotuslegend]

[ Almost instantly, her blank expression vanishes, replaced with a very slight smirk. ]

Do you have eye troubles? There's plenty of open tables for you to volley around.

[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?

[lotuslegend]

[ No kidding. Why does a ten-year sentence merit a suspicious-looking collar?

Reimu shifts her chin into her hands. ]

I don't see how it's going to help at this point. Though I suppose I should take advantage of this before we get inevitably get shifted back to some form of slop.

[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?

[impureheart]

[ She quickly spun around, her expression only looking surprised for perhaps half a second before she buried it down with quirk of her lips as she spoke. ]

I find the quiet only lasts for so long, darling. Best to enjoy it before the games begin.

[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?

[sevenseconds]

[upon hearing the stranger, xiaoyu turned and looked at the man. he didn't seem... all that intimidating, with how he was asking her in such a polite way. this was a prison, however, she knew she couldn't trust just anyone that walked up to her.]

Uh.... sure. Your plate won't fill up itself you know, you gotta do that much.

[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.

[risetting]

Huh?

[Rise blinks, lifting her head up to the sound of the voice. This is one of the first times that someone's talked to her without saying, "Oh, hey, it's that famous pop star, Risette!" and other such nonsense. It puts a nostalgic smile on her lips as she laughs, albeit a little hollow.]

Oh, don't worry about me! It's just that, carbs, you know?

[Because eating too much when you're trying to stay thin in a place like this? Not exactly a good idea.]

[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??]

[impureheart]

Not one for grace, are you darling?

[ Anastasia has the exact opposite type of plate as Minako. ]

[moonsets]

[ Shinjiro's still sitting off to the side the whole time, but he's watching and observing everyone else to make sure he knows who to avoid later on.. and it's because of that that he also notices this girl just standing there and throwing more and more food on her plate. Is this even healthy?? Sure, he knows some people can eat a lot, but that just doesn't look right for her kind of build..

He's at least holding himself back from coming over and saying something about it (this is a prison, dammit, he needs to remind himself of that) but he sure is staring.... ]

[sevenseconds]

[...finally, a girl after her own heart!

xiaoyu comes over to her, her own plate filled to the brim with all kinds of stuff. the fighter grins at her, shrugging a little.]

Guess you got the same idea as me. A feast means a feast, right? No holding back!

[ex_protein260]

[ After checking out the cafeteria, Akihiko's made his way towards the real food. He might have been upset enough to ignore it earlier, but now he's got his own plate piled similarly to hers. ]

Hey — good choice.

[ While he's kind of upset that he's in jail and all of the wonderful things that come with DMWL, he can't help it — anyone who chooses to eat like that is good in his books. ]

[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. ]

[impureheart]

[ Across from him and two seats to the left, a young woman with her hair tied back holds a glass in what appears to be an overly refined manner. Almost like it's practiced, but most people probably can't tell the difference. She seems to be staring at Peter for a moment with interest, though she speaks up momentarily. ]

You made quite the impression on one of my business partner's sons.

[ Her tone almost makes it sound like a compliment. The brat threw up on her carpet at a dinner party once, he deserved it as far as she's concerned. ]
