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! ]

Healing? I have what are called Personas. They're parts of my soul that give me different kinds of powers.

[It's always weird to explain this to people who aren't already acquainted with it. He also figures it's kind of unbelievable when he can't give a demonstration like he'd normally be able to.]

I always forget they're not really normal until something like this happens.

[Being normal again is a weird feeling.]

Parts of your soul?

[That's definitely a new one for her. Her power could do a lot of different things, but it was still just one power.]

'Powers' plural? So you can do more than just heal people?

[He nods in response to all of those questions.]

I also have some elemental magic, and a few attack skills. I'd show you but...

[He makes a vague gesture at their surroundings. Yeah. Can't really show off just now.]

Magic?

[Literal magic as in Harry Potter with the wand and everything? Sorry, that’s how she’s picturing it right now.]

It’s not just you, if that makes you feel any better. Seems like anyone with powers here can’t use them.

Magic is the best word for it.

[It's more like weaponized expressions of his spirit, but that's getting a little more technical than necessary.]

That's kind of a relief. Not that I want people to feel this way, but it means it's just the event.

I hope that’s all it is.

[With the war coming soon anything is possible. She’s learned the hard way that nothing is off limits here.]

How does your healing power work anyway? I’ve never met someone who can do that before.

[He hopes so, too, but after so long in Wonderland, he's come to trust it to some extent. Certain things are predictable.]

I summon a Persona to use it. At home, it will fully heal a person of any injuries. It's a little hit or miss here--I usually have to try a few times with really bad injuries.

That’s still pretty amazing.

[Definitely not the worst power out there to have.]

Did you have to do that a lot back home? Like did people come to you for help?

The circumstances were a little strange. Me and my friends could only use our powers in another world--not the regular world we were from. So I healed them a lot, but I wasn't able to heal anyone outside of that place.

[As much as he wished he could have.]

So it, normally, works here. But not back where you're from?

Right. It's like it only works in dimensions other than the one I actually live in day to day.

So I guess it's about the only good thing about being away from home. Except for in places like this where they get rid of our powers.

[Yeah. She's not bitter about that at all. Nope.]

You have powers too? What can you do?

I can make things shake basically.

[It was a little more complicated than that but she doubts he really wants all the details.]

[There has got to be more to it than that.]

Like an earthquake?

Pretty much, yeah. I can create earthquakes. Maybe stop them, haven't actually tried that before.

[The media back home had given her the very unique alias of "Quake".]

Not nearly as cool as being able to heal people though.

It's something, though. Only you can do it, so that means something.

[He wonders if she can make things shake on a smaller level, too. That might be really useful depending on the situation.]

As far as I know anyway. Which is probably for the best.

[Especially if it could end up in the wrongs. It has ended up in the wrong hands when she was mind controlled.]

Where are you from, Souji?

A little town in Japan. It's 2011 at home.

[That's the simplest description.]

What about you?

Is it nice there?

[She's never visited Japan before, but it always looked really nice from the way media has shown it back home.]

America, sometime in 2016 I think.

[It's getting harder to remember the details now. Which is a little scary.]

You think? You don't remember for sure?

[He wonders if it's being in Wonderland for a while that's caused that.]

It's been a long time since I've been back home.

[And as much as she hates to admit it, it's getting harder to remember certain things.]

Me too. Things do seem fuzzy sometimes after so long. But there are certain things I just can't forget.

[Or that he won't let himself forget.]

Yeah. Yeah I get that.

[Like losing Lincoln the way she did. She still thinks about him every day. Still lives with that guilt.]

I'm sorry. I probably should shut up so you can sleep.

[Assuming he even feels like sleeping.]

It's okay. You're not bothering me.

[He smiles a little.]

But yeah, I should probably at least try to sleep.

[Who knows what will happen later on, after all.]
