[ If the first question you have when you see Lorna is "does she spend all her money at Hot Topic?" then you're asking the right questions. She's got on an asymmetrical leather jacket with metal spikes on the sleeve, black leather pants with straps that kept her collection of metal knives secure, and bright green hair from root to tip. The green theme is one she's clearly fully on board with. Accenting the bright green hair she's also got some deep green lipstick on and sparkling green nail polish. To fully tie it all together she's also wearing a metallic green headpiece. Nobody can ever say she's not coordinated. ]

Hello fellow inmates. Since I'm brand new here I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Polaris. [ Every word she speaks is practically dripping with sarcasm and she's got an equally sardonic smile to match. ] Just wanted to see how everyone was doing in our beautiful underwater prison today. [ Because that is exactly what it is. A prison. Nobody was going to convince her otherwise without some damn impressive skills. For a moment she looks like that might be all she actually has to say. Then she leans back and folds her arms over her chest. ]

Actually, I've got a question. I've been looking through these archives and looks like some of you have been here a long time. I get it, it's got some nice amenities. Love the view. But I gotta ask, how'd you all just collectively give up on trying to find a way out? [ And with that question she does, rather abruptly, end things there. ]

[OOC: gonna have to figure out if they've met. I'm cool handwaving yes based on TDM stuff if that's what you want. Cool with no too. That said, green and metal and Polaris? He can do math if they haven't met.]

Yo, Lorna. I mean, there doesn't seem to be like a submarine dock. Can't punch our ways out or we'll drown. And I'm sure there's like, death by pressure if we depressurize this place too much. So, you know, act of god or suitable mutant to get us out.

[ferrokinetically]

[ooc: we can go with their thread being canon if you're cool with it!]

There are a lot of people here. Not all of them are humans, right? Maybe people could combine their abilities to force a way out.

[doubled_speed]

[OOC: Absolutely cool! It was a good thread]

I mean, from the ones I do know have abilities, Loki is your best bet. But if he had a way out, he'd have used it to get himself out by now. Asgardians, what ya gonna do? I like to think he'd tell me, though.

[ferrokinetically]

Loki? Like actual god of mischief? [ Sure. Why not. That made sense. ] No one person is going to have a way out. It's got to be all of us trying something together.

[There's something about his mischievous smirk and the glint in his eyes that suggests it's more than an innocent request for clarification.]

Well, Polaris, would you be so kind as to define "trying"?

[ferrokinetically]

[ She arches an eyebrow. ] Do you not have a dictionary nearby?

[itsnothingpersonal]

I meant subjectively.

[ferrokinetically]

Didn't realize there's a subjective definition of trying.

[thegrifter]

Hey, Polaris.

[He pauses for a moment, and she can hear the tell tale click of a lighter and the crackle of the cigarette igniting as he takes a drag before he continues.]

To be honest, the world ended, it was kind of our fault. It's probably better off without us.

[ferrokinetically]

Then don't you have a duty to try to get back and fix it?

[thegrifter]

Duty. [He scoffs.] You know, I like you, sister, but don't preach to me about duty.

[ferrokinetically]

If I was preaching you'd know. It'd be a much longer speech. Just saying I know a thing or two about setting the world on fire.

[spoiledbugboy]

Inmates? Really? [Sheesh, he thought he was annoyed by being there, but this gal is treating it like this is some prison-like facility. Sure, they can't really leave, but it'snot like they are being punished or anything... right?]

That's a pretty grim way to look at it. [Says the boy who sees 90% of things in a negative light...]

[Video]

[ferrokinetically]

[ She's got a completely deadpan expression on and shrugs. ] We can't contact people back where we're from and we're being kept here. What else would you consider it?

[Video]

[spoiledbugboy]

[Well, shoot, she got him there. With that description, that sounds like textbook prison.]

Anh... Well... [C'mon Haga, think, you are sharper than that!] I like to think of it more like a, hm, vacation? Kinda forced but, you know... [Well, that was convincing...]

[Video]

[ferrokinetically]

Can't say I've ever dreamed about a vacation deep under water in some sort of abandoned dome. [ But maybe everyone has their own completely wrong definition of vacation. ] What should I know?

[Alex just sighs softly.]

I'm afraid that's really not how it works here.

[ferrokinetically]

You just give up and accept it?

[11calls]

There's a difference between giving up and knowing that something is impossible, I think.

[Because giving up isn't something that Alex does.]

[minus1twin]

We haven't stopped looking but there is more here than meets the eye and I don't think its right to leave things as they are.

[She remembers the skeletons from within the core of the Sphere and frowns. Something had brought them back to life and while Wanda needs to return home, she wants to help this place before doing that. That is what Avenger's did.]

Did you read about the flood by chance?

Video

[ferrokinetically]

[ She folds her arms over her chest. ] What about them?

Video

[minus1twin]

To my knowledge there was only one flood after the dome was cracked. There were shelters to go to but a few of us traveled into the center of the sphere complex. It is there that no one has contact with and I understand why.

The place we went was filled with skeletons.

[Yes, that guy is wearing a mask, Lorna.]

Quite well, thank you. How are you enjoying your new-found home?

[ferrokinetically]

[ Well, this guy is special isn't he? ] Like I said, nice view. But I don't like being trapped places.

[madeofmirrors]

[You really have no idea, Lorna.]

Few do, and yet here we are, muddling on about our days, dreaming of escape and with nothing to show for it.
