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!

Comments

[weaponry]

[ Oh god. Does she even know?

Time to improvise! Tenten's eyes scour the florally uneventful desert to find a sole cactus in the distance. ]

How about that one cactus over there? It doesn't matter what you're focusing on, as long as you're focusing and thinking you're meditating. [ Not exactly, but she's simplifying it for Santana. Who needs all of those technicalities that are just confusing anyways! ]

[heretolookhot]

I thought it was about clearing your mind?

[weaponry]

I thought it was about deep reflection and focusing. Clearing your mind doesn't sound too good here since that would just make it a clean slate, right? And wouldn't that make you more susceptible to madness? [ You can get her meditation for dummies for Christmas, Santana. ]

[heretolookhot]

If your mind is clear, there's nothing bothering you for it to take advantage of, though. Hell if I know.

[weaponry]

Whatever. Just, reflect. If this results in you focusing more, or clearing your mind, whatever it is, it'll probably strengthen your mind. [ She closes her eyes and starts to breathe in. ]

[heretolookhot]

[Santana breathes deep, but her eyes stay open. They're scanning the area around them, making sure it's safe. She knows that the environment is being controlled, and that there shouldn't be anything there, but she feels safer knowing that for herself. Maybe being here is making her paranoid.

That thought gets shut out immediately, and she forces her eyes to close. Sitting around does nothing for her, though, so she starts humming.]

[weaponry]

[ The humming makes Tenten shift her posture to something more upright. She doesn't feel uneasy with the humming, as it's light and tonal enough to be differentiated from a machine, or something else that'd rustle her concentration. She softly joins, complementing Santana's humming. Her hums are higher in pitch though. But, that makes sense with such a naturally high pitched voice. ]

[heretolookhot]

[The humming becomes a song before too long. And if she mentions that thunder only happens when it's raining, that's totally normal.]

[weaponry]

Players only love you when they're playing... [ Her voice is light, airy and soft. It's probably a bit higher than what the song actually is, but, at least she's trying. ]

[heretolookhot]

[She smirks.] How do you even know this song? Spying on me in the shower?

[weaponry]

No! I use my stealth skills for good! I'm not like Kakashi-sensei! [ Clearly embarrassed, Tenten rolls her head forward in hesitation. ] I just overheard it once or twice!

[heretolookhot]

Who says that wouldn't be good?

[weaponry]

I respect your privacy enough to not spy on you in the shower. I'm not the local sun. Disrespecting your privacy wouldn't be good!

[heretolookhot]

You could always hop in.

[weaponry]

[ Her?! Hop in?! Never! Her face looks absolutely mortified to the fullest. She looks very shocked. What is she supposed to do with all of this sexuality?! ]

...But you don't wear a bathing suit when you shower! [ Ah. Smooth Tenten. Smooth like sandpaper. ]

[heretolookhot]

[That's supposed to be a good thought, Tenten!]

Who does?
