[Since Ten has the pleasure of being in the Heimdall house, he also has the joy of being able to have fun in a ball pool. And that's where his next video feed comes from, the Time Lord submerged up to the shoulders as he talks. The Doctor almost manages to make it look completely normal to be there. Feel free to harass him if you're in the same house.]

So this isn't bad for a prison. I mean prison is almost a harsh word, but at the end of the day that's what it is. Not many would give you your own room with a bathroom divider and ways to survive. Unless it's the Big Brother house all over again. Never again. Reality shows are the pits, glad that one got nipped in the bud before it started. Well, it's already started but nowhere near what it could have been. Most prisons just put you in a cell and throw away the key, or even a box. I was put in a box once. That wasn't fun when it rained. As far as prisons go, I've seen worse. And if anyone wants to argue semantics over that let me warn you that I'm known for being able to talk and not stop.

Anyway there was a point to this I suppose. Somewhere. Oh that was it. What's the longest time span anyone here has actually been here?

[Private to Eleven and Nine]

These stabbings. What's going on with those?

Boxes... [ yeah let's not go into big immovable prisons. ] Egh.

As for the stabbings, [ his face darkens dangerously, but the eccentric in him still shines through. ] I've got no idea and an idea, one that's probably not far-fetched, but I haven't quite worked it out. It'd be easier if we'd all been here, maybe there was a marker before...

[ a pause. he finally looks up from what looks to be papers and pictures and whizzing gizmos. ]

Asking because you have an idea or want to hear ours and collaborate?

We're not a cat, we don't fit and so we shouldn't sit. I don't get the infatuation with boxes, but there you go.

[Shrugs.]

A bit of both. Looking around on this network all I can see is that it's related to the Ides of March and something about not believing. But that would almost be too easy, that someone would be re-enacting out the warnings for Caeser. I did spot mention that people think it's a different person each time doing it, that it's someone they know but as to how consistent that is....well it's not apparent.

[text forever unless otherwise noted]

[ryuuzaki]

I think you're correct about this being a prison.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me precisely how you wound up in a box, though. You've piqued my curiosity.

video forever~

[tardisblue]

Some people might not consider it so much to be a prison should the surroundings and circumstances be better than the ones back home. Which is pretty depressing to think about, but so very possible.

[A pause.]

Well it involved two bottles of wine, two Agrianos and a very sturdy box.

[charming_jerk]

It may be a nice prison, but it's still a prison. Taken here against our wills with no way to contact our homes. Assholes.

[tardisblue]

Of course, Micomico. The premise might be fair enough, helping out, but it's the part where it's against people's wills that makes it the prison. Micomico.

[Yeah he just likes saying it.]

(video)

[crossways]

Was there a point to all that, or were you just tryin' to show off the ball pool?

(video)

[tardisblue]

[Dammit. You saw through his cunning plan. Ten slowly sinks down to his nose in the pool.]

It's a very good ball pool.

[ofthursday]

Today is my fifty-fifth day here. I believe I was one of the first to arrive, discounting the natives.

[Video]

[tardisblue]

So almost three months then. It sounds like this is a pretty new operation for the ones responsible.

[ video ]

[entreats]

... The Big Brother house? [ ONII-CHAN?! ] What's that supposed to be all about?

[ video ]

[tardisblue]

It was a reality television show. A pretty bad concept really. Get some random people, put them in a house that has everything they need and film it twenty-foour seven.

[Well, Rose hasn't been here that long, so her information offering skills are pretty much moot. And she'd rather not think about Big Brother House and Weakest Link things and ... things. However.]

Issat a ball pit?

video/private

[tardisblue]

[Moves slightly, making loud rustling noises.]

Yep. Found it the other day. Can't say I've ever owned a ball pit.

[imperish]

Everyone I heard about's only been here for a few months.

[tardisblue]

Seems that way. Think I'll take a look around, see if there were any groups brought in prior to us lot.

action;

[perpetualized]

[Jack catches sight of the post and makes his way out of his room and down towards the ball pit. He's not about to jump in (not yet) so he just leans against the nearest wall and laughs at the Doctor, head shaking included.]

No one puts baby in a corner?

I've been here almost four months, and I was one of the earliest batches as far as I've been able to tell.

action;

[tardisblue]

[Waits for Jack to jump in, expecting some kind of belly flop before relaxing when the captain doesn't. More ball pool for him then!]

I carried a watermelon.

[Completely deadpan.]

It just strikes me as strange that it just started with no kind of lead up to it. There had to be some kind of test subjects around before they even decided to start moving large groups of people.

[heartfeltfancy]

That's actually what I'd been thinking, too...[She purses her lips in contemplation.] They did say they wanted us to "enliven" the world, so maybe it's all for the purpose of letting us do that.

video;

[tardisblue]

It more than likely is to do with enliven-ing the world. There is just a moral compass trying to define if it's imprisonment or recruitment.

[damnidjits]

Do I wanna know why?

[Because, really. A grown man in a ball pit.]

[tardisblue]

[Blithely ignores the implied ball pool scorn.]

It's important to get all the facts together about how we got here.

[selfestheim]

... A prison's not a bad way of putting it. [humorless laugh]

I haven't been here long, but I know of a few people who have been here for almost two months. That's the longest I know of.

video

[tardisblue]

A place you don't want to be with no way out fits the definition of a prison, even if it doesn't look like one.

Two months seems to be the general consensus.

[overcontrols]

I'm not sure if being trapped here or watching an endless marathon of Big Brother is a more traumatizing punishment. But I have a feeling both should require tranquilizers and alcohol to survive through.

[ really, she's making a face just at the thought. ]

Any who isn't a blurred out native has only been around for a couple of months. I'm not sure about the original citizens or anyone who might have been here before us. Gods really don't like to give us much to work with when we're trying to play Detective. Nancy Drew would seriously hate it here.

video.

[tardisblue]

Now imagine if Big Brother was the prison.

[Very traumatic for anyone involved.]

Nancy Drew definitely would have. It doesn't even look like they've left a trail to follow. Though without my stuff I can't exactly spot everything that led up to it. An event this big had to have something to give it away before it happened, or even a hint.
