[text; before the morning announcement]

Good morning, Wonderland.

As it seems the administration is at a loss as how to resolve even simple matters, I've had a touch of extra time this morning. As Miss Oswald is currently unable to perform the proposed duties, I would like to take a moment of your time to discuss the prospective book club that was mentioned on the network some time ago. In her stead I will be moving forward with the project, but would first like to take this opportunity to once again assess public interest.

If you've the intent to participate, do contact me at your earliest convenience.

[action, afternoon in the library, OTA]

[ Far be it from something as simple as a blackout to prevent Loki from continuing on with his daily schedule. He had made a quick stop to the gift shop for a flashlight, but as far as he was concerned that would be the only deviation from his work. It was strange, really, how he both loathed and found the smallest bit of solace in the predetermined. In many ways it seemed that keeping himself caught up in a routine was the only way he could avoid going mad. Too much time to think wasn't particularly ideal, especially with how much of it he had done earlier that day. His determination to form something as silly as a book club was idea born purely of sentiment, after all. In a way he hated how he clung to the idea, but he imagined he would only hate himself more if he were to give up on it. ]

...ah, I feel that I might need some help. With the current situation, I'm unable to get to the shop to get a flashlight. Would someone be kind enough to help me?

[ The morning announcement is late today. Quite late, actually. The Ringleaders voice isn't heard until several hours into the morning. Surely the inmates have become restless, and not just because of the delay. The Ringleader's voice isn't quite as cheery as the day before. ]

Ah, good morning everyone! Well, today is the 28th of January. Sorry, but it's a Monday. That's kind of gross, huh?

I bet you're all wondering about why it's so dark. I probably shouldn't be very specific, but... the power went out! Oops! All the backup power is going somewhere important, but shh! Don't tell anyone I told you, okay? Everything will be back to normal by bedtime, but you'll have to use your communicators as flashlights until then. That might be cool at least! You can --

[ About then it sounds like someone else has entered the area. The awful voice in the background could easily be recognized as Irving's. He's quick to leave, but not before one of his horrible laughs is broadcast across the prison. The Ringleader springs back into action like nothing happened. ]

Everyone, good news! Irving-san has told me that flashlights will be 100% off today! How nice, huh? The dark might be scary, but we'll be looking out for you all, so don't worry~

Bye bye for now! Kiss kiss!

[ Finally prisoners are allowed to leave. ]

[ OOC: For player reference, the morning announcement didn't come on until roughly 10:30 AM. The power won't be restored until shortly before curfew. Feel free to play this out however you want, including backdating, so have some fun! ]

[Video]

[Roman's spent a while playing with the communicator's camera. If he has to stay in prison, he's going to own it, and first impressions are everything. Some crappy selfie just won't cut it. The video clicks on to a well-framed shot of him lounging in the commons. His posture and smile ooze with relaxed confidence. He's already bought back his bowler hat, and a one hand rests on a heavily padded cane. He raises the other in greeting.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Roman Torchwick. They say that I'm responsible for burglary, murder, arson... [He ticks the crimes off on his fingers before he trails of and shrugs.] Just pick up a newspaper, really. I can't keep track.

I'd say I look forward to getting to know you all, but I doubt I'll be here long enough for that. I wouldn't have bothered introducing myself, but I thought it would be polite. Wouldn't want to piss of a bunch of punks, right? [He smirks at the camera.] Things could get dangerous.

Well! That's all for now. See you around, ladies and gentlemen. [He tips his hat and ends the feed.]

[Action]

Roman spends a while wandering around the prison, taking note of all the security features he could see. Cameras, locked doors, guard posts... anything that might give him trouble. There would be plenty hidden features too, but he could figure those out later. All he needed today was a basic lay of the land and a little money.

That second one shouldn't be too hard. Once he had the obvious cameras picked out of the cafeteria, he could figure the least visible areas. After that it was just a matter of catching the breakfast rush, finding few groggy suckers in the crowd, and he'd be set.

((OOC: For the action, let me know if you either want to get pickpocketed or catch him at it! Otherwise he'll just be preying on NPCs.))

shallnotharm

Well, it looks there's an hour or two before the event starts. It's really such a shame. A quick end would be more preferable to many, I would think, than a long drawn out fight. I wonder what my beloved mother would have thought if she found out about where I ended up...

You know. The oddest things happen in stressful situations--I was wondering. Why the bird names?

[ The video feed turned on to show a girl in her early twenties. She's short in stature, but her pink hair and punk rock way of dressing does plenty to make her stand out. It seems she's put the communicator somewhere so she can move freely as she talks. From the looks of things she's somewhere out in the courtyard. ]

I figure since show time ain't til later today, I've got a few hours to kill... so, what better time than now to introduce myself, right?

[ There were probably a lot of better times. Not like she would show herself on camera in that disgusting jumpsuit, though. ]

I'll make it simple and quick, since I wanna know about you guys more than I wanna blab about myself. Name's Abigail Walker, but friends and enemies call me Fetch. Maybe if some of you get lucky I might tell you how I got that name sometime. [ That wasn't too likely. She didn't plan on getting that close to anyone. ]

By the way, I don't know if swapping war stories is common, but all I'm gonna say is I'm here because I did some bad stuff. Made some mistakes. Don't much want to talk about those things either, so don't ask.

[ She had been pacing before, but finally she was slowing down. The whole point of this was to calm herself down and maybe assert herself as someone not to mess with. Despite any confidence displayed, she was nervous as hell about the whole Carnival Corpse thing. She hadn't used the full capacity of her powers since... well, since the day she'd been caught. ]

Anyway, enough about me. You guys tell me about you. If I'm gonna be here for a while I at least wanna find out if anyone cool is here.

androphobian

OPTION I: TEXT.

I'm really scared about this event. A "carnival corpse". . . that means people will die again, won't they? I might even die. I don't want to die. I'm not the only one who feels this way, am I?

I don't want to hurt anyone-- but I don't have any choice, do I? If I don't do it, bad things might happen. I hate this. All of it. When is it ever going to end?

OPTION II: ACTION (cafeteria, morning).

[Yui is at the cafeteria, getting her breakfast. But she seems to just be staring at it wistfully, not eating anything, not saying anything. There's just the empty expression in her eyes as she holds the chopsticks in her hands.After a while though, she snaps herself back to reality and decides to eat, regardless of how she doesn't want to. She doesn't feel like it.]

[She shivers, clenching her hands together nervously. She feels rather uncomfortable and might jump out of her seat if disturbed. A good reason to disturb her, right?]

( ooc: SO UH sorry for dropping the ball on the last post, but if anybody wanted to learn karate/sewing tell me and we can work out prices and do the transfer after the event is over! )

yoursecret

does anyone here actually prefer prison to life outside?

i'm not asking because i do. i'm only curious. [ the idle wonderings of a newcomer prisoner. ]

decideformyself

To those of you who participated in the Milgram Experiment yesterday in the role of the questioner, I have two questions of my own. Did you choose to shock your partner for any incorrect responses they may have given? And why or why not?

[ Filtered to Yui Kiriyama, not anonymous ]

How are you feeling?

aplacetodie

[ Akira woke up at seven on the dot and spent a good ten minutes staring up at the ceiling of his cell.

And then he got on the network. ]

Why am I alive.

dreiwuensche

Can anybody tell me more about these "Deadman" people? I already know a little bit, that they're people who have special things they can do with their blood, but I want to know more. What causes it? What all can Deadmen do? That kind of thing.

avibusraris

Wakey wakey, inmates.

[ She's a little more awake than she was the last time she did the morning announcements, but she's making one of those morning stretch groans for a couple of seconds. ]

It's 7:01AM on January 8th. The weather seems to be clearing up today, but I was watching the news last night and it said it was supposed to pour in the evening. I don't think you guys can have umbrellas since you can sharpen them into shivs, so wear a hoodie if you go outside later. I put them 65% off.

Oh- say bye, Celie.

[ There's a small chirp, as from some kind of bird, then the announcement goes off. ]

shallnotharm

[The newcomer's voice is calm. She doesn't exactly sound disturbed but not reveling in the event as some were. If anything...it sounds even, almost sympathetic.]

That was quite a morning announcement! Those punished and those who know them have my deepest sympathies, of course, seeing such a thing in public would be horrifying. Especially first thing in the morning.

[She doesn't say anything about the Warden, however. The victims have her sympathies but she can't rebuke the Warden either.]

Aside from that--I'm rather new around here. The others I've met in my block seem welcoming enough but I'd rather speak with everyone. As for myself, my name is Doctor Aya Drevis. [She gives a small laugh at this.]

Why don't we play a small game to get our minds off the events of this morning? Have you heard the game two truths and a lie? You give three statements, two true and one false. The other person tries to guess the lie. If you respond I'll give you three about myself.

404eyesnotfound

I'd like some brain bleach right about now.

If anybody has any fun distraction ideas, now would be a really good time to speak up.

[ She didn't enjoy this morning's broadcast one single bit. Megumi may be snarky about other people's misfortune normally, but she's not a sadist and she's only a kid who doesn't really take well to seeing people get hurt. ]

tanteiotaku

[Because even the removal of his foot isn't going to keep a good detective down. He spends the rest of the morning recuperating in his room, but after lunchtime he's on his feet--or foot again. He's using a crutch to get around, and his balance would be pretty good, if the event had not been so recent.

He puts in a half-shift at the Gift Shop, since he'd already missed the first half. He's hanging out on a stool behind the counter for the most part, even if he's trying not to make Yui uncomfortable.

After that, he's got some time to go seek out John Smith in his cell. He has some serious apologizing to do for how everything ended up. Sure, he'd come of his own free will, but he still felt like an asshole.

Later, he heads to the Laundry for as much as he can take. Someone might need to talk him into going home.

He'll talk to whoever would like to in or between any of these places.]
