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! ]

Yeah.

[It was a joke but apparently she didn’t find it that funny. As much of a troublemaker Daisy has been in the past, it was extremely rare that she actually got caught.]

I’m fine.

[Yeah she looks it. So many people have checked up on her and she’s honestly not sure how to feel about that sort of attention.]

My power doesn’t work here. It would have been a totally different ending if they were.

[bravejemma]

[There is nothing funny about being caught in Bad Girl Shenanigans, Daisy. :o]

That's unfortunate. It would make the getting out far easier.

[morethan084]

Yeah, well, Fitz doesn’t think that’s such a good idea.

[She’s not here to actually air her grievances, she just wants to know what the hell is out there.]

[bravejemma]

Which is a terrible pity, because if we can't quake the way out he could surely do something.

[Fix the alarm system, reprogram it, something. But he's more than content to sit tight.]

I suppose he could be right and all we have to do is wait it out, but that might not be the case. How many times has a place started to become more dangerous halfway through an event?

[Not that she expects Daisy's been keeping track, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time.]

[morethan084]

Exactly!

[At least Jemma is thinking the way she has been about this. That it could easily, and quickly, go south.]

He’s blaming himself for things that have been going on around here. Between that and whatever it was that happened a few weeks ago, I’m honestly worried about him.

Has he said anything to you?

[bravejemma]

Nothing.

[And now she looks at the tabletop. She hasn't asked, either; asking has the effect of putting him on the defensive, and that doesn't achieve anything. But she understands what Daisy is saying.]

He takes far too much responsibility. Particularly for the bad.

[morethan084]

[That wasn't good. Why would he be keeping secrets like that from Jemma of all people? It's pretty easy to see that her saying this has Daisy worried.]

Have you asked him about what happened?

[bravejemma]

I haven't.

[And if Daisy wants to admonish her, she'd be in the right for it. She should have asked -- should do so now.]

He did come back -- 48 hours, just like he said.

[morethan084]

[Sorry Jemma.]

What? Why not? You were just as worried as I was about him.

[bravejemma]

And I am. Of course I am.

[She pauses a moment to put her thoughts in order, to say what she means.]

And I will. Once I can trust myself to do it without getting angry.

[Because she is. In a relationship as strong as theirs there can be space for secrets, but not lies, and she'd made that mistake before. And if she doesn't ask questions, so won't get lies.]

Everything feels like a fight. Not with him, I mean, just in general. Events coming like clockwork, most of them quite dangerous, I mean-- [She motions at Daisy's bruised face, as though to make her point.] And Wonderland in general leaves everyone on edge, things can change so quickly. We can be gone for a week, or forever... it's stressful.

[morethan084]

You know you have every right to be angry with him, right? He's keeping secrets from you.

[She would say 'us', but, she knows that there's probably a part of Fitz that will never be able to trust her again.

She does smile, somewhat bitterly, as Jemma gives reasons as to why she hasn't spoken to him yet.]

You make it sound like it's that much different to how it was for us back home.

[bravejemma]

I know, and I am. [Well, it comes and goes in waves.]

I'd rather be at home. At least the natural laws don't change there all the time.

[morethan084]

[Daisy knows what she would be going back, all of the rebuilding she's attempted to do here with Jemma and Fitz would be wasted. And yet, she'd still rather be home.]

You should really speak to him, Jemma. I get the feeling you're the only one he'd be honest with.

[Sorry, Jemma, she's not going to let this go.]

[bravejemma]

[She wished she could have that guarantee. There have always been times when Fitz was closed off, even to her, but it's never been like this. Maybe it was a function of how their relationship had expanded.]

I will. I promise.

[morethan084]

Good.

[Daisy knows that Jemma has gotten better at lying, but she believes her.]

I'm still trying to figure out who's memory this is. You hear anything?

[bravejemma]

I don't know. It's none of us... [the three of them] Fitz mentioned talking to Peggy and there was some mention of it being someone named Rocket.

He also said he was a raccoon, but I thought that couldn't be right. But I suppose there are stranger things.

[morethan084]

There's definitely been weird things around here.

[Still. A raccoon?]

So this is their memory? Of a prison?

[bravejemma]

Of an alien prison.

[She looks around again.]

I thought about it being Kree, but it doesn't seem like them.

[morethan084]

[Daisy tenses at the mere possibility of it being the Kree. Even though it's been confirmed not to be.]

What would make you think this was the Kree?

[bravejemma]

Well, nothing, which is more of the point -- but if it's from our world and clearly alien, that's what I thought of first. Even if it isn't the case.
