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! ]

.. Let me get this straight. You don't even know what you got thrown into this shithole for?

[ RESISTING THE URGE TO FACEPALM.. mostly since it's actually a pretty dire situation since he knows this prison is no good even as far as prisons go, and then his best friend is stuck here too for reasons he doesn't even get..

Maybe he's just having some really bad nightmare. ]

They don't just throw people in jail over a mix-up. Didn't they accuse you of anything? [ Maybe he was fra.. med..? He can't see any other possibility other than them just throwing random people in jail now. ]

[ex_protein260]

Well... I know, but it still doesn't make any sense. [ He stares at his hands for a moment. ] I was accused of... something I didn't do.

[ So awkward. So horrible. ]

[moonsets]

[ Awkward, yeah.. at least it confirms his belief that there's no way Akihiko would do something that could actually get him thrown in jail. ]

So they falsely accused you. [ That's his conclusion about this, either way. This place already didn't seem entirely like what it's trying to be with the meal here and all, but now it's starting to sound even more corrupt. ] Is there anything these assholes aren't willing to do? Why throw someone who's innocent into jail?

[ex_protein260]

[ Wow he can be a Bad Boy too... ]

Maybe they're running out of actual criminals? [ Cringe. ] ...Why are you here?

[moonsets]

[ Arresting people just to keep this place in existence..? ]

Not for the same reason as you. [ Because he wants to get the idea that he might be in there by accident too out of the way first. ] I got into some shit. Nothing new.

[ex_protein260]

[ He can't imagine Shinji doing anything terrible enough to end up here... but he'll nag at him another day. And rest assured, he will nag. ]

I see... what about your sentence?

[moonsets]

25 years. Pretty short, all things considered. [ He gives a shrug, like he honestly doesn't care much about it despite 25 years still being.. pretty long.. - but then again, when doesn't he try to act like that even when he does care. ]

Although I have no idea if we'll even make it out in one piece. Have you heard the rumors about this place?

[ex_protein260]

Short. [ yeah very short. ] ...Yeah, I mean I didn't pay much attention, but it's hard to avoid. What's the worst you've heard?

[moonsets]

[ Keep your sass to yourself, Aki!! ]

People having to eat their own fingers. Dunno if they made it up [ it's not like common thugs and youth on the street don't exaggerate all the time, after all.. ] but it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me. Something 'bout this place seems way wrong.

[ex_protein260]

....Disgusting. [ Even Akihiko wouldn't eat the protein in his fingers -- ] But I guess I can see it. It's... giving off a weird impression right now.

[ Too much good stuff. For a creepy prison. ]

[moonsets]

.. So isn't this the part where you say we should keep our guards up, mister boxing champion?

[ It's not hard to have heard of how far Akihiko's come, after all, so he can't help but poke at it a little bit. ]

[ex_protein260]

[ Akihiko huffs a short laugh, internally groaning. ]

We should keep our guards up regardless of the situation... but especially now, mister... not boxing champion.

[ Really good comeback there. He's proud of it. ]

[moonsets]

[ ... is he really hearing this. Is this really happening. ]

You really never change, do you, Aki? [ There, for his actual name (or, well, nickname) he at least doesn't have to think up a witty comeback, right.. ]

[ex_protein260]

...I guess we'll see.

[ Prison is probably the place that theory would be tested. ]
