Characters: OPEN
Location: Outskirts of Nevada
Rating: PG
Time: All day, Feb 27
Description: Shibusen offers a field trip to acclimate the guests to the Madness wavelength.


It's a perfectly pleasant day for the most part, if one is to look at the sky and maybe the horizon. For the attendees of the fieldtrip, however, things are naturally a lot more grim, if also lot more colorful. There are understandably no civilians in the area -- or any other signs of life apart from the group.

As promised, the location is extensively arranged to cordon off various areas of the place where Madness spikes have been identified. They are all properly labeled, both with text and visuals, and discreet agents kept an eye on all corners of the large field. The mirror by which the guest will come in is set in a corner, with some food provided next to it.

People are free to come and go, though the other end leads to the clinic instead of the Death Room. The rules are simple: venture into a level you think you can handle, and if you can't, someone will help.

In the afternoon, a light rain will come to add some variety to the endless desert. Make sure to take shelter in the open tents provided to protect you from the elements!

More company for dinner. That had a nice ring to it, and Barnaby smiled. Although Barnaby still wasn't a company sort of person, having a guest over every once in a while for dinner was actually rather pleasant. It worked for him, especially since their guest was also a nice person to speak with and pleasant company. He wasn't sure what they would do until dinner, though.

Or what they would do during Kotetsu's naptime, it seemed like. Or... both of their naptimes? That smile disappeared as Barnaby fought off the urge to frown. For as exhausting as their moments during the madness had been, Barnaby didn't want to try sleeping anytime soon. He wasn't even that tired! (Well, actually, he was a little fatigued again but he was sure a nice cup of coffee would get rid of that.) "I'm not tired in the least," he argued smoothly. "I think it's your age catching up to you. If you'd like, we can take you home and just reconvene for dinner."

A hearty chuckle came from the wolf as the two continued to banter. Whatever they finally decided, she wouldn't mind in the least bit. It might be a while before either of them could properly sleep, but she didn't mind being there and taking a small nap herself. It wasn't going to hurt anyone. Then again, she should probably check up on Inukashi and the other dogs before coming over. They would probably be fine, but after today, you never know with them. All just a precaution.

And of course, Kotetsu was hardly going to take no for an answer. He knew how injured his partner was, remembered clearly the trouble they'd both been in just a few minutes ago and the last thing he expected was for Barnaby to just be up and walking about as if none of it had ever happened. Sure he'd told himself he'd cut down on the fretting but that sure as heck wasn't what he was thinking now.

Kotetsu lifted up his head from Barnaby's shoulders and frowned right back before looking down at Amaterasu. "Listen to him, telling me he's not tired. Insulting me too! I didn't even do anything! Ammy, help me out here!" He obviously just needs cute furry enforcement on convincing Barnaby to rest a little.

"What--" Barnaby's eyes widened, quickly turning to Kotetsu before looking down at Amaterasu. All because he was arguing against wanting to sleep? But what was she going to do? This was likely going to end either in pathetic bickering or Barnaby being convinced to go rest up some.

He just frowned. Pouted, even.

Amaterasu looked between the two, sitting up and made a face. You two are ridiculous. She pawed at both of them, shaking her head. Kotetsu, calm down. Barnaby, you could at least do with an hour or so.
