open | event | Jailhouse Rock!
Characters: Team Delta; also, everyone!
Date: February 17th (through 24th)
Location: The prison beneath the Palace of Landed Sky
Situation: Troublemakers caught rooting around the broken areas of the shell have been rounded up for indefinite (OOC: until the 24th) incarceration (after which point the shell will be repaired and the final phase of the event underway). Some will get a special visitor, others may get supervised visits from friends, and others still may be jailed together!
Warnings/Rating: Incarceration; to be updated as needed.
OOC Note: This is the second phase the three phase February metaplot event! Characters caught unlawfully breaching the containment and repair areas of the turtle's shell will be (generally) brought straight to the prison, having been arrested and escorted primarily by Raylan's taskforce. The majority of these arrests, if threaded out, should occur on the initial log for this event, but a thread header for arrests and escorts is provided here!
Prison | Palace of Landed Sky
Overview
Each Sector has one central police station with holding cells meant for overnight infractions and common misdemeanours. These cells are solid, but not infallible to the experienced escape artist. They, however, are nothing to the cellblocks neatly built within the shell beneath the Palace of Landed Sky as those brought in will quickly learn. This prison is built beneath the palace itself and its walls are hewn out from the turtle's shell. The floors run quite deep, though only the most dangerous criminals are kept in the lowest levels.
Ambiance
The calming effect found at Tu Vishan's head is prevalent in the dungeon and, in fact, is one of the primary means in which prisoners are contained via their complacence. However, with the damages to shell and flesh, Tu Vishan has become distracted and the normally peaceful aura has become inconsistent, with flashes of normalcy, anxiety, and pain noted by all in the area.
All powers are likewise usually contained in the prison, but the field controlling that has become unstable with Tu Vishan's injury. Powers can be inconsistently accessed, with their strengths varying between barely accessible to fully available for use.
Initial & Processing
Upon arrival at the Palace of Landed Sky, all are directed to the right and walk down a long set of stairs with guards posted at landings/intervals which begin at thirty feet and slowly decrease to ten feet. At this point, the taskforce is relieved of their prisoners and a note made to record how many Foreigners (or kedan, in some cases) they have brought in. That is where the role of the taskforce ends and the guards begin.
All prisoners are first funnelled into one of three processing 'tanks' -- large cells situated in a connecting line that each hold between twenty and thirty human-sized bodies. The average time spent in the drop tank (as it is referred to by the guards) runs to three hours during times of rest. They've experienced a spike of business, so to speak, since the shell broke and Eshai's post on the network warning the Foreigners away. Kedan were first to be found on the wrong side of the containment line, having no central warning system such as the consoles to keep them away, but the Foreigner count in the prison has been slowly increasing the longer it takes the repairs to be completed. Currently, a new arrival can expect a wait of up to twelve hours in these cells. The facilities of these holding tanks are minimal, with benches provided and sparse snacks dispersed every four-to-six hours. Prisoners needing to use the other type of facilities are expected to call for a guard and be escorted to-from their business.
Once they've reached the front of the processing queue, they are called to the front by the guards and escorted to a small interrogation room in which they are asked what amounts to tombstone information (name, age, race, suite, etc). These rooms are moderately lit and cooperation is encouraged with the provision of a meal (noodle bowls with meat, vegetables, and broth). They are relieved of extraneous possessions, but left with their surface clothes for the interim with all possessions returned on their release day. (OOC: This interview is generally handwaved; contact Alex at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
reignsdown or by PM to this account if you would like to thread it and she will provide an NPC to interact with.)
From here, the prisoners are assigned a cell with up to six others and so begins their indeterminate incarceration (OOC: which, unknown to them, will end after February 24th).
Prisoner Life
Each six-person cell is moderately sized with a small partition for toilet use to block cellmates from view, but not from the cell across the hall. There are six beds, lined up on two walls and bunked three high. This gives each cell a rather high ceiling compared to what one might expect. There is a long desk surface with a bench that stretches between the bunks; up to three may sit abreast on this bench at any one time. These desks date from a time when books and papers were more commonplace on Tu Vishan and prisoners were allowed them; nowadays, they are simply a lounging surface for the majority of prisoners.
The cells are emptied each day at dawn and the half the prisoners on each floor sent to the mess hall and half to a large room where they are instructed to walk or run laps for physical exercise. After an hour, these groups are switched to allow the other food/exercise, whichever they were lacking. Meals in this prison generally consist of noodles or rice, vegetables, and a sparse selection of meat with water being the primary source of hydration.
From there, the prisoners on each floor are broken down into teams of ten and assigned work tasks that range from textiles (ex: building/repairing paper lanterns) to upkeep (ex: janitorial duties, laundering, assistance to the kitchens). There is no prison library to attend to and all prisoners are expected to do their part, just as they would on the surface.
They are gathered four hours before dusk and the rotation between exercise and food is repeated. Oftentimes dinner will include a glass of watered down nectar or thin wafers as a form of dessert to differentiate the meals. Then all are ushered back to their cells for a two-hour downtime until night and lights-out.
Bathing and showers are arranged every second day, after the evening meal and exercise. Kedan and Foreigner prisoners are separated for this and provided group bathing facilities with a time limit of one hour to get, clean up, and get out.
Delta Team
Life for Delta Team matches that of the other prisoners, though they will have an NPC visitor one evening that will change things rather significantly. (OOC: A separate thread header has been provided for this group of characters in which to freely interact with one another in the cell before the NPC arrives.)

Costigan
The undercover frowns and speaks quietly, because obviously they're still in the prison someplace.]
What the fuck was that? You- you just come in there and- and take me out without even my- my fuckin' say-so? I don't know who you are, but you need to put me back in that fucking cell.
no subject
Sorry, love, did you just say you wanted to go back?
[BUT WHY THO.]
no subject
You have no reason to rescue me. [Because wtf who just does favors for people like this.]
Either take me back or leave me here and tell me when you're leaving. I don't want to get you in trouble, but it seems to me that walking out that door without permission is going to make my life a hell of a lot harder than it already is. I think I'd rather take my chances in here.
[Besides, the calming effect is nice. Prison's not such a bad place!]
no subject
[STARING AT HIM WIDE-EYED]
The Emperor's planning on punching your ticket, mate. Are you sure that's a good idea?
no subject
[He admits honestly, giving a shrug with his mouth and shaking his head to emphasize just how much he has no idea if he's making the right decision.]
No, I don't. I think it might be. [A beat.] Besides, if I hear right, people don't really stay dead here anyway.
[Not that he actually believes that.]
no subject
[Billy you are being a dumb and the incredulity in her tone more than explains exactly what she thinks of that.]
no subject
[He says it all like he's leveling with her. No bullshit, but a tactful way of telling her how it is.]
no subject
Fine. I just-- fine.
[She hesitates like she wants to say something more-- good luck? don't die? but after a moment she just shakes her head and scrambles away.]
