Summary: A catch-all for the Kyln / Sierra Madre event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, the entire mansion will be part space jail, part apocalyptic wasteland desert with an abandoned hotel/casino. On the third day an escape route not previously discovered in the Kyln appears and breakouts can be planned...

...Only for everyone to find themselves walking through a large glass prison toward the toxic gas filled wasteland of a desert, the Sierra Madre. Does the prison look better than the toxic cloud outside? If you're stuck in the prison after dark beyond day 3, you'll be forced into and locked in your cell for the night. But at least locked away, nothing from the outside can hurt you. If you try to brave the actual elements in the desert it might be a little hard to breathe. The air has pockets of toxic gas and even a few seconds of exposure could prove deadly. And watch out for the Ghost People.

Inside the abandoned hotel/casino you'll find shelter from the gas and ghosts, but beware the holograms that are 50/50 with their attitude. Prison beatings, a beating from the holograms, which one Would You Rather? And whatever you do, don't try on the collars lying around unless you like to explode. Literally.

[ This is a catch-all for all your prison/desert needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and either a cell number or just a location if you didn't feel like randomizing it or you're making a top level for a public place (like the dining hall or wandering the hotel/casino). Here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun! ]

[When the Prison Break occurs, he's not the only one hesitant. She approaches him from behind.]

Ishimaru...?

Tsumiki-kun? [He frowns as he turns to look towards her.]

H-have you noticed... an escape is in progress? [Although he's not sure if it's right for him to leave, he can't imagine Mikan belonging in a place like this. ...And either way, it's dangerous to stand around like this, with the guards on full alert.]

Y-Yes... the people I was with already left, but... a-are we supposed to leave? Should we leave? It's an event, so... sh-shouldn't everything end eventually?

You do raise a valid point! This imprisonment may only last as long as the event. But the conditions here are very harsh... Perhaps you should escape while there is a chance! I would not judge you for doing so!

... But what about you? Are you leaving?

I... I do not know if it would be right for me to leave! Unlike you, I might deserve this imprisonment!

Huh?! But... all the crimes were made up, they have to be! You would never do anything to warrant being imprisoned!

[He bows his head sadly.]

Wh-while I do agree that some of the people here must have received false charges... I am not so sure that I am one of them. It is always possible... that I too could fall!!

J-Just because it's possible, doesn't make it true! I believe in you! You always do the right thing!

Tsumiki-kun... Your faith in me is so heartwarming! But... E-even the greatest people I've known have able to fall. So, I am afraid to say... so might I!

No!

[Squeezing her hands into fists.]

Until I see proof... I won't believe it! There's no trial, no debates, no evidence! Without any of those things... I won't believe you're guilty!

We went those awful trials... we always voted for the truth, even when it was hard! But only because it was proven who had done it! Are you saying you'd vote for someone's guilt, even without any proof? I wouldn't!

Tsumiki-kun...! [He emotionally gasps her name, while tears well up in his eyes.]

Y-you are right! I would not cast a vote in such circumstances either! Without any evidence... I- I cannot properly judge anyone! Even myself!!

[And, to no surprise, she begins crying as well.]

If you stay or if you go, I'll be with you, but... but I won't let you give up on yourself! Not after all we've been through and all we've lost... It has to have meant something!

Of course it has! Of course it's meant something! [No matter what he may or may not have done... In the absence of evidence, Mikan needs him now! So, with tears still in his eyes, he flares up.]

Then it's decided!! I cannot turn away your resolve! And I want you to leave this horrible place, so... so let us escape together!

[Hearing that... makes her genuinely smile. To know that her safety is another person's concern.]

Then... let's go. I won't lose sight of you... we'll make it through this event together, and the next one, and the next one, no matter what they do.

Such dedication! [He winces at the force of that dedication! It's a good, if intense kind of wincing!] I support that sentiment, and I will work as hard as possible to make that happen!

Then let us get moving! Quickly, while the guards are still distracted! [He starts moving onwards, with a newfound determination of his own.]

Y-Yes, right behind you!

[Oh yeah, how much time did this little pick-me-up waste anyway? Mikan begins to walk a little faster, now glancing behind her, worried.]

Great! We'll be out of here in no time!

[But as they advance towards the exit, there are some guards starting to gather by the exit.]

Ah, that is no good...

Oh, no! What do we do? They'll definitely put us back in the cells when they see us!

Ack! We cannot allow that! [He glances around quickly until he spots some kind of solution.]

Ah, there! An open ventilation shaft! Maybe we can find a way around them! [Ishimaru quickly heads towards it!]

Hurry! Before they see us!

[Maybe if you two would stop shouting... she runs to follow him!]

Yes, time is of the essence! [He hurries into the vent and climbs in! Then he waits for Mikan to enter too... though their loudness does seem to be bringing guards over from the exit!]

[She scrambles to climb inside, hearing the footsteps-]

K-Keep going, don't wait for me!

No!! I absolutely refuse to leave you behind!! [Ishimaru reaches back to try to help her in!!]

[She grabs his hand, and manages to pull herself inside.]

Go, hurry! I'm right behind you, I s-swear!
