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! ]

[Wow. He’s either the best she’s ever met at playing it cool or he’s legitimately not into her. Which is crazy, cause she’s insanely hot. Whatever. She’ll have to find her prison orgy elsewhere.

Maybe the girl will be into it, though that’s Chloe levels of annoyance right there.

She sits back.]

That’s what I’m saying. Name’s Mazikeen. Don’t worry, I can get us outta here easy.

Magic, or super powers? I'm Cissie. [She looks around their cell, frowning thoughtfully. It doesn't really occur to her to doubt that this stranger they've just met could get them out, considering... most of her friends and their powers.]

Where is here, do we know? Do we know what's out of here?

[She's kind of hoping for magic, honestly. Teleporting out seems like a better plan than brute force or other structural damage and calling attention to themselves.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

Shaun Mason. [He's patting himself down and finding no guns, which i smor ethan a little dismaying. He hates being unarmed. He moves toward the front of the cell to peer out.]

Can't see much.

[selfworthbitches]

[Cissie just gets a puzzled look because Mazikeen's not really sure what the difference is or how to qualify her own powers. Instead, she just backs up as far as she can in the tiny cell and runs at the door, aiming to bust it down.

........it does not work very well. She lets out an angry yell as she smashes her shoulder into the unyielding door.]

What the fuck?

[cisskabob]

[That gets Cissie to move. She jumps to her feet, shooting an alarmed glance at Shaun.]

...Powers, then. I guess that answers the question as to whether people get to keep their powers or magic for this. Are you okay?

[...She was suddenly a lot more worried about Kon than she had been a minute ago.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Shaun hadn't been surprised by Cissie's question. Magic and superpowers are... well, they're not common in her world, but they are in the circles she travels in. So he's not surprised by the curiosity. He is surprised by the running charge and the utter lack of effect. Does Mazikeen actually have superpowers or is she just really self-confident?]

[selfworthbitches]

Fine. [She scowls, rubbing her shoulder, which.... fine might be an exaggeration, but she's had worse. She can handle pain.] What's this wall made of?

[cisskabob]

[Cissie gets to her feet to go check out the cell wall; there's always a chance that maybe it's some kind of special material... like whatever Mazikeen's version of Kryptonite, maybe. But as far as she can tell, it's just normal metal. She shakes her head.]

Looks like normal metal--iron or steel or something. I think this is one of those time when Wonderland changes and it takes away your powers. So, you know. Running at a wall's gonna hurt you like it would hurt us normal humans.

[Okay, so there are some assumptions being made here; like that Mazikeen isn't necessarily human. But she could be a meta, or an alien, or a human with powers. Cissie's not judging.]

I DON'T SUCK

[adaptiveimmunities]

Not that we'd be able to tell if it was magic metal, though. [Shaun gives Cissie a little grin.] Seeing as we're both normal humans and all.

SHHH YOU'RE WONDERFUL

[selfworthbitches]

Ugh, does this mean I'm gonna get cold like normal humans too?

[She glares at the wall, then down at her orange clothes.]

Fuck that.
