Daycycle 125

[Feb 5 - Feb 11]

[OOC Plotting for this Dacycle can be found here.]

Early, Early Morning [1200 - 0400]
Room 1201 will be woken up at 1200 when a squadron of Internal Security Gray Ops come to arrest Barry Allen for treason. He will be led away at gun point and his roommate, Morgana LeFey will be immediately taken into IntSec for questioning. She will be questioned about the activities of her former roommate for several hours before being sedated and returned to her room before 0500. Morgana will not remember Barry's arrest or her questioning when she wakes.

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

The Briefing Officer seems particularly annoyed today as she gives a speech about working together for the greater good of Alpha and how any future attacks will be dealt with swiftly and justly without a trial. No arrests have been made for yesterday's attack due to a lack of substantial evidence, but IntSec is working on bringing those responsible and those participants who used excessive force to justice.

The rumor among IntSec personnel is that the security footage from the commissary for the hour of the event has been erased. Many believe it was a ProTech job and IntSec are focusing their sights on suspected members. If your character is suspected of being a member, they may be pulled into questioning at any time.

Derek Hale and Dirk Gently have been selected for today's mission.

‘As you know, today is Interrogator Appreciation Day, and we’re positively swamped with orders for PlastiFloral and UltraBonBon deliveries. Here is a list of interrogation chambers in this sector and the specific interrogator recipient at each.’ [ Don't be surprised if you are ordered to taste test each delivery of BonBons. Most higher ranking officials are on high alert due to the MOD killer.]

---

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

Isabelle Lightwood will be pulled from Medical Services to assist with a backlog of forensic work in IntSec. She will primarily be told to focus on the MOD murder evidence.

Jack Harkness will be given a bag of fan mail that was "lost", but most likely withheld by his mentor, Teela O'Malley. In it are many fan letters, two marriage proposals and one death threat.

Morgana LeFey will be assigned to a special hydroponic sector where Alpha scientists are working on developing faster growing fruit to meet a demand for more real food for citizens meeting key physical metrics. The chemicals being used have not yet been approved by PLC.

---

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 be at 1900 in Meeting Room L, Wagon Wheel, Floor 30 and will be hosted by the Alpha Association of the Dead. This association is for all clones who have been determined terminated by the computer and have been replaced in error. If you would like your existence to be acknowledged, please bring all forms, stamped and notified by the proper authorities and ten letters proving your existence by Alpha citizens of a BLUE or higher clearance level.

---

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.

Tony knows that he's pretty much cheating by bringing up the way he was hit last night, but considering what happened between him and Steve last night, and this morning...he really doesn't care. At all. He's more focused on how good his boyfriend feels in his arms, how good it feels to be held by him. And yeah, he knows that Steve has been busy even if he's technically suspended, but even he needs a day off, right? Especially considering the man didn't even take one after being shot multiple times.

"Of course I'll rest," he almost purrs, especially because of how Steve is nuzzling against him. "I'll even be in bed and everything, if you want me to." His tone is teasing, tempting him. And yeah, making it obvious that he has more than 'resting' in mind when it comes to being in bed with Steve. But, again, he's really not all that sorry.

He presses a soft kiss against the side of his neck. "You're my best medicine," he all but whispers before pressing his lips softly against Steve's neck again, "haven't you already figured it out?"

[a_man_out_of_time]

That tone is working, because Steve can feel the way his body reacts, and how there seems to be a certain tempting quality about Tony that he can't get stop thinking about — especially when Tony says if you want me to. But before he can even be embarrassed or self-conscious about it, he hears Tony say something that drives right into the center of his heart.

In a way, yeah, Steve has figured it out. He remembers every way that Tony seems to melt into him whenever he holds him, no matter how mad Tony was before. Steve remembers yesterday in the dining hall, when Tony never protested getting help to get back to the room, or how later that evening, Tony took his shirt off so he could be treated, even if he wouldn't go to Medical.

Still. Even if Steve remembers all those things, he hasn't internalized them. A few seconds ago, he hadn't even expected Tony to say I love you back, and right now, when Tony says that he's his best medicine, and asks if he's already figured that out, Steve feels such a genuine tug on his heart that he can help but hold his boyfriend a little tighter.

"I know we've talked about this before," he says softly, as he brings his hands up over Tony's body so he can pull him into a hug. "And we'll probably talk about it again. But I don't know what I would do anymore, if something happened to you."

He used to know. He even used to think that he would know how he'd feel when he and Tony are like this, but now, after yesterday, that clarity doesn't feel so piercing anymore. But Steve also doesn't want to tank this entire moment, because everything still feels more perfect than he really thought could be possible. So, as Steve turns to lands his own kiss on Tony's temple, and as he feels that cool sense of warmth from Tony's body, he chuckles.

"Which, is my terrible way of telling you that we are going to be resting today. Even-" A small grin emerges. "Even if that isn't everything we do."

[im_ironman]

Pointing out that Steve is his best medicine hadn't been said to 'cheat' and be able to stay with him; with how honest he has been all morning, and how he has opened himself up more than what he has in the past, it just managed to come out. It's the truth - the complete, and absolute truth.

Thankfully he doesn't have to explain that to him, or try to convince him of it. Honestly, he wouldn't even know how to.

The hug takes him a little by surprise at first, though, although he's not even sure why, but then Steve says he doesn't know what he would do if something happened to him, and Tony's embrace tightens a little. As if to assure him that it's okay, that he's here with him.

"I guess, lucky for both of us, I'm not going anywhere." His voice is quiet, the playful tone mostly gone because he's trying to sound more reassuring than anything else. And really, it's not like the Complex will allow him to disappear so easily; apparently it had been easier to insert the glowing nightlight in his chest, rather than just let him die so he could come back completely healed.

He realizes, though, that although he tends to be more reckless and 'accident prone' than most considering how sometimes he just barrels through a situation, for Steve he would try to be more careful. Maybe not enough to keep himself out of dangerous situations if he needs to, because like Steve, he can't stay away from those if he thinks he can make a difference, but...he can at least do whatever he can to make it home to him in one piece.

At the way that Steve kisses his temple, Tony finds himself smiling again. Especially when he feels the way that he chuckles, and how that feels considering how close together they are.

"I love you," Tony just answers with a grin after Steve agrees to taking a day off, leaning in to kiss his lips as the arm that he has around his waist tightens its hold a little on him.
