[WORLD TWO | LOCKDOWN]

Who: All coven members in the apartment building
Where: Shehui Apartment Complex #43
When: Day 188
Open/Closed: OTA with telepathy potential for those who aren't currently there

[ Unless you're a you-can't-tell-if-it's-night-or-morning-at-this-hour owl, then you probably don't even notice the apartment complex goes on lockdown. At around 3:30-4:00 AM, the front doors lock from the inside, all elevators stop operating and individual doors require a special clearance ID in order to be opened -- something no one who isn't a high-level monitor would have.

This means you're likely sleepy and snug in your room, totally ignorant of the issue. The exceptions are those on the leisure floor or outside at an early morning job -- if you try to leave your floor or come back to the complex, respectively, you'll find that it's impossible because of the lockdown.

No one else will know until around 6:00 AM. Everyone's ID cards will begin to beep, flashing a message that lockdown procedures are in progress, and they will be visited shortly by a monitor who will be speaking to them privately.

Whether or not you decide to wake up because of this information, you're certainly confined to your quarters until this whole thing is over -- which will be around 4:00 PM. Even after the monitor comes, asking you one-by-one to step into a chosen bedroom to have a conversation, you'll be stuck with your roomies until the whole ordeal is over.

Time for some small talk...?

OOC: If there's only one person in your character's room, ICly they will be moved to a nearby room (of your OOC choice) in an effort to cut down on room visits. This will allow you to tag into another room, not just imagine your character staring at the ceiling on their own for 10 hours! Also, you can say that some characters slept over or were hanging out in another room if you wish. ]

[Dave's wandered in, looking for something that can serve as a snack, and at Haru's question, turns his head.]

You don't have to tell whatever asshole comes up here anything. They just jumped up from shady to full on cloud cover day with this. If they want to talk about what happened on Sunsu, there's a better damn way to do it.

[so, no. not okay with this. it's under his skin.]

[She's going to take that as a no. Thought Haru herself looks like she has remained rather calm. Like the situation hasn't really phased her in the slightest.]

Their suspicions shouldn't lie within us either, unless someone in the coven truly is hiding something.

[She sighs.]

I have no plans to give them any useful information.

Same here. They want something, they can ask instead of interrogating us.

[pulling out a box of crackers, he considers before putting the box back.]

What's got them so up in arms about magic, anyway? "Magic is not something we approve", blah blah blah. They want to make some point about hard work and reward, punishing people for using what they got seems stupid. Besides, we're aliens to them. We could go and cite the whole diplomacy act, interplanetary relations, get ambassadors, the whole shindig.

[you know, he's just going to make toast. setting that up and finding jam in the process while he talks.]

Unfortunately it doesn't look to be that simple in their narrow minds.

[There, there Dave. She's going to push a cup of tea towards him. It might go perfectly with his toast and jam.]

Each society is different and each society has things that they find socially unacceptable. Magic just happens to be that thing here. Though I absolutely don't agree with it. Our magic can be used for good, out powers from home can be used for good too.

I believe it is clear that we were not the ones who cause trouble during Sunsu.

[Haru seems to have a lot of Feelings about this.]

No shit. But we're an easy target.

[he will take the tea though, with a nod of thanks before he takes a sip. Haru, you're a good roommate.]

What do you think about all this?

[at times, Dave is capable of listening to other people.]

That's exactly the point, we're the easiest to blame since we are outsiders.

[Look, she tries her best. She sighs quietly, blowing the steam from her own cup of tea before sipping it.

She seems to be thinking. How does she put it into words?
]

I think that this is a ridiculous way to go about things, obviously. But beyond that, my feelings are what I've already said. I'm not sure what these citizens would do if we were put in a position where we needed to protect them and all we have is the magic that Qri-san gave us.
