prison blues & plot cues [OPEN]

WHO: Himeka & you!
WHAT: Some info sharing from her time in Hayle
WHEN: July 10th, pre-Event #2
WHERE: Dungeons

[ ooc; I default to brackets but I am happy to write in prose! Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Prisoners and welcomed are all encouraged! I put together two different scenarios that may cater to either more easily, but feel free to hit up what makes the most sense. ]


i. cell number one

[ Normally looking at least a little optimistic, Himeka leans against the bars to the cell, forehead pressed between them as her eyes dart back and forth down the hall. She had been returned to her cell after her days in Solitary not more than an hour prior. It felt good to be out, as much as one can consider "out" equating to "behind bars". But for someone who blossoms in the presence of others, being shut off had been a difficult time indeed. The light in her eyes has dimmed and she looks as if sleep has been elusive.

As glad as she is to see one of her younger cellmates hale and whole as one can be given the circumstances, she is missing someone she considers a dear friend. Estinien had also been sentenced to solitary confinement, so it only made sense that he would be released as well. Right?

Whether they walk towards cell one with a purpose--perhaps they had heard of the few prisoners who made an escape between the snow-covered mountains of northern Thorne, only to be recaptured days later--or by pure chance, Himeka immediately perks up at the sight of another. She straightens in place, tail swishing back and forth behind her with a surprising amount of mobility. ]


Hello! Excuse me!

[ She sticks an arm out, waving to try and catch their attention. ]

You haven't seen a man nearly twice my height with light hair and a sour expression nearby, have you? Mayhaps in another cell?

ii. dungeon common areas

[ Time allowed outside of their cells for a little bit of recreation is fleeting. She finds herself anxiously looking forward to the appointed hour more than she has before--not just to stretch her legs, but to search.

Though she does not waste the opportunity to grab something to eat for their sole meal of the day, Himeka makes unusual rounds about the dining hall. Eating sparingly during her discussions, she moves from one table to another, taking a set uninvited with familiar and unfamiliar faces. ]


I hope you don't mind--there was an open seat.

xx. wildcard

[ ooc; If you still want some plot clues or just want to chat and don't find an option that works, feel free to hit me up on the discord server or at [plurk.com profile] doggystyle and we can work something customized out. ]

[It still takes him a second - then he touches just below the bruise, realizing what she means. The scars, most people are too polite to mention.]

Getting better. I didn't give the guards any reason to do any real damage.

"Bothered Ambrose for some answers about everything here." He gestures a little with his bread, meaning not just the dungeon but the entire situation.

"Well, he doesn't lock his study."

Jon looks almost pleased with himself, in a tired and cynical way.

"But that's why I'm down here, now."

"Exactly as much of an arse, I'm sure. But I forced him to answer me."

He picks his bread apart into bite-sized pieces as he answers, thoughtful.

"I only got in four questions before he cut off my- power. But I learned we're here because only people from worlds other than this one can harness a power he thinks will end all of existence. His control over who he brought in isn't good, and so he sorted us out by who he thinks will do what he needs or work against it. Not necessarily on purpose, but still. He has a book that tells him something about each of us, but I couldn't get to it.

"He does believe he's saving everyone, though," he adds, even though his distaste for Ambrose is so strong it's almost visible.

Well, now she has his full interest. "How did that come about?"
