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! ]

[She shrinks back, unsure.]

... W-what do you want to do?

[bravejemma]

[It's an easy enough question -- she wants to find her friends, and as big as the building seems to be, that won't be a small feat. She takes the step outside the door to the concrete just beyond, and waits for it. The hit, the snap, the shock, something that would tell her to stay in her cage. When it doesn't come, she relaxes, and working very hard at hiding her relief, turns back and says:]

See? Nothing to it. Seems there are bigger things to worry about than keeping us in the cell.

[She hopes.]

[naughty_nurse]

[She's clearly hesitant, but then s-l-o-w-l-y begins to make her way out.]

Do you think so...?

[bravejemma]

[She continues looking up and down -- nothing yet.]

If there were some kind of alarm that would alert the jailers, I would imagine it would have gone off by now. [Currently there are more people out of cells than in them, and the watchful guards don't seem concerned about it.]

I've seen you around the mansion but I don't think we've met. I'm Jemma.

[She offers her hand with a smile.]

[naughty_nurse]

[Quietly takes the hand, but squeezes it instead of shaking it.]

... My name is... Mikan Tsumiki. I... I usually keep to myself, in the clinic...

[bravejemma]

I understand that, I'm in my lab a lot. It's hard not to just live there sometimes.

[She smiles reassuringly, and casts a look around.]

Is there someone you might be looking for? Two pairs of eyes are better than one.

[naughty_nurse]

I... I have a lot of people I care about, so that could be too much... W-what about you? Should I look for anyone?

[bravejemma]

Oh, I have some friends -- particularly maybe for a man, a little taller than me, curly blond hair. Angry and Scottish.

[She spots someone she thinks might be Daisy -- but once they turn she sees that it's not her, she relaxes her posture.]

And a woman -- dark hair, dark eyes. Might be trying to use... er, super powers.

[For want of a better term.]

[naughty_nurse]

[Eh, after all the shit she's seen, super-powers isn't that surprising.]

... Mmm. I-I'll try to remember. I hope your friends are okay.

[bravejemma]

They're made of stern stuff, I'm sure they'll be all right.

[But of course, the sooner she knows that for sure, the better.]

Should I keep an eye out for someone for you?

[naughty_nurse]

[Well, if she has to choose, best to stick with folks from her world, right?]

... A boy in a white uniform... A boy with a checkered scarf... A girl in a brown uniform... And a boy with long orange hair.

[She probably should mention the length is across instead of downward.]
