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! ]

You can probably pull it off way better than I can.

[She laughs, pretty sure that no one has ever called Jolyne Kujo charming without a ton of sarcasm involved.]

I can probably fit the thief role. Be easier if I had my Stand, but I can manage without it.

[It's not like she needed it to steal before.]

I'd volunteer for hacker but I'm pretty sure it's a lot different from hotwiring a car and I don't want to blow us all up or anything.

[She's kidding, mostly.]

...also man am I sorry, I am probably a walking advertisement for staying in school and not leading a life of petty crime.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel has just been staring at her like she's the coolest person ever.]

You're like every bad girl in every action film I've ever watched.

[uncoils]

Really?

[She still doesn't get people thinking she's cool, but she'll take it.]

So long as that's a compliment and I'm not going to die to make things dramatic, thanks.

[powerofmabel]

[She bangs a fist on the table.] Action girls dying to further the plot is terrible and forbidden in my fantasies. I can forgive a lot of things, but not lazy writing. [And then she cups her hands over her mouth and yells:] DO YOU HEAR THAT, WONDERLAND?

[uncoils]

Here's hoping it did, and it listens.

[Alternatively it hears it and decides the next event will be full of overused cliches to further other characters' manpain, but Jolyne is really hoping that's not the case.]

[powerofmabel]

I'm in good with Alice. It should know better than to mess with me.

[Like that even matters- Wonderland bothers Alice as much as it does the rest of them, but this is Mabel's idea of things.]

[uncoils]

Always good to have a friend with connections.

[Not that Jolyne's really sure if Alice counts as having connections since from what Jolyne's heard, Wonderland doesn't treat her too differently. But it's the thought that counts. Or something.]

That's something worth remembering in a place like this too. If you know somebody who can get you stuff, you probably want to make friends and not piss them off. Unless they're a complete jerk, then the hell with them.

[powerofmabel]

I should be writing this down. I might need it later if I ever get stuck in jail again.

[She grabs a napkin and then rifles around in her prison garb pockets to see if any of her gel pens made it to jail with her.]

[uncoils]

Good idea. Hopefully, you won't end up in prison again, but you never know.

[Plus having notes is a good idea if the warden has some sort of magical memory tampering powers. But that's probably one of those things that only happens in Jolyne's world, so that shouldn't be a concern.]

[powerofmabel]

My Grunkles are both basically criminals. I feel like it's gonna be a thing I'll have to deal with sooner or later.

[uncoils]

Both of them? But that's okay, it runs in my family too. My dad was in jail when he was...well, younger than I am actually.

[Which was really weird for Jolyne to find out.]

[powerofmabel]

Ford's more like intergalactic crime or something? I wasn't really paying attention, but Stan's got a list so long they had to invent new laws. I still have no idea what "illegal pug trafficking" is.

[She sighs, sympathetic.] You get used to the crime, and sometimes you just have to memory wipe a few FBI agents or live in Gravity Falls where almost anything is legal.

[uncoils]

Whoa, sounds crazy. And here I thought Florida was nuts.

[But apparently it can't compete with Gravity Falls.]
