Daycycle 116 [ November 13 - November 26 ]

daycycle 116

[Nov 13 - Nov 26]




[OOC Plotting for this Daycycle can be found here.]
[The Charity Ball Entertainment post is here.]
[This DC has been extended through 11/26.]



Early Morning [0800 - 0900]All Troubleshooters Report for Duty

No Special Troubleshooters have been selected for a mission this morning.





Morning & Afternoon [0900 - 1600]Service Firm Positions
All Troubleshooters not assigned a mission should report to their Service Firm for their daily duties, unless specifically assigned a different shift.

Matt Murdock's office will be assigned to defend the most recent Specials accused of treason. He will not be allowed to contact the traitors directly, but he will be given the task of preparing his cases. He has 48 hours to prepare.

Jack Harkness has been selected to plan the entertainment for tonight's Charity Ball, thanks to the popularity of his performances during the Alpha Talent Show a few days ago. When he asks The Computer for help, several specials are assigned to him. Izzy Lightwood will be his event planning assistant and "Stiles" Stilinski will assist in MCing the night's event. Due to their popularity, all Specials will be approached about being auctioned off for dances in order to help raise money by Jack, Izzy and Stiles. They will also be asked if they're willing to take part in specially planned choreographed dances. Dance lessons will be provided for those that require them during the afternoon hours.




Evening [1600 - 2200]Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will begin at 1800 at the Alpha Museum of Fine Art and will be hosted by The Humanists Alpha Society for the Arts. Tickets to the event are 1000cr and can be bought up until an hour before the event begins. Attendees have been given special permission to wear Old Reckoning clothing for this event only, as long as it is the same color as their clearance level. Specials may notice that many of the Alpha Citizen's outfits have gotten key parts of Old Reckoning clothing wrong, with buttons instead of sequins, for example, or men wearing ties that are much too long and go to their knees. Alpha's Very Special Forces will be present to ensure the safety of those attending.

An entire wing of the museum has been cleared as a makeshift dance floor. In an attached room there are several tables covered in white tablecloths and set with the crystal and china that usually only graces Violet citizen tables. Along the wall is a massive buffet made with real food and including an elaborate ice sculpture. There is a bar in the corner where Alpha's finest spirits are being disbursed freely. For the first hour, the focus is on the food and mingling. The music playing is calming and instrumental. There are some that steal the dancefloor for a slow spin, but the majority of the attendees seem reluctant to move away from the buffet.

And then at approximately 1900, Jack Harkness will take the stage and begin the evening's real entertainment.





Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.



Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

"A good cause that benefits the Computer, I'm sure." Adam isn't absolutely positive on that front. But somehow, benefiting the bot processing factory seems a very close link to helping the Computer. They're processing BOTS, after all - as in ROBOTS. Adam isn't here to help with that. He knows Ronan isn't either.

Still, it's admittedly nice to wear something other than the jumper and to eat real food and drink real drink and generally feel a sense of normalcy. Although it also, to Adam, seems to magnify the basic freedoms that the Computer has stripped from them.

"So I was thinking..." He says, picking a cookie off the plate and taking a small bite of it. "Maybe you could... teach me to fight."
fictor: (One chance)

Ronan smirks. Yeah, he agrees and that's clear. Ronan is here for a night out with his boyfriend, a night when neither of them are wearing a jumpsuit.

So far, it's been a good night and Ronan is enjoying it. Adam isn't wrong about the way it magnifies those basic freedoms though.

Adam's question takes him by surprise, though after everything he's been through, it shouldn't. He nods a little at Adam's suggestion. "Yeah. Hell yeah. I'll teach you." He probably should have offered earlier, but he'd thought he could be there to protect Adam. It's abundantly clear that he can't.

"I mean I'll probably never be any good at it. And you might get annoyed with me. But..." But Adam is trying to change to make the both of them safer here. Parker is teaching him what she knows about working around the cameras and the Computer itself. Ronan can teach him this.

Really, it says a lot that Adam even asked Ronan. It shows how much he trusts him, given his background with violence. And when Parker mentioned that he should learn self defense, Ronan is the first person he thought of, naturally.

"I couldn't learn from anyone but you." He admits. "But I have to tell you, I'm not gonna be an easy student." For every reason that Ronan already knows. Adam shies away when punches are thrown his way. And Adam can't imagine throwing a punch himself, that was beaten out of him a long time ago. But maybe it can be undone, just a little at a time.
fictor: (Just fine)

"Yeah, 'cause that'll be the end of the fucking world. I never get annoyed at you," Ronan rolls his eyes. Ronan gets annoyed at Adam all the time, but it doesn't change how much he loves him. He knows Adam gets annoyed with him as well. He would feel a little better knowing that Adam could protect himself until Ronan got there.

He knows how much it says about how Adam feels about him, and it means a lot to Ronan that Adam would ask. He would be hurt if Adam had gone to anyone else first.

"Yeah, 'cause I'm such a fan of taking the easy way on things," Ronan smirks. He can imagine that Adam won't be easy to teach, not this, but he'll try anyway. He hopes that some of the damage Robert Parrish did can be undone a little at a time.

They always get annoyed with one another. It's true love, okay? Adam smirks when Ronan says that he doesn't, knowing it's a joke and squeezing his hand a little when he rolls his eyes. The can love and annoy in the same breath, Adam and Ronan. It's kind of what makes them so unique a pair. Adam likes that they're different than most in that way.

Adam takes Ronan's beer and takes a drink from the bottle before handing it back to him. Even if he doesn't like to get drunk, he likes the taste of it. It reminds him of Ronan's kisses back home when his boyfriend had a healthy supply of beer and liquor.

"You don't have to be an ass about it." He says, no vehemence behind the words. Because of course Ronan has to be an ass about it.
