A whooshing sound precedes the rush of gas that quickly fills the first and second floors. Like most gases the Warden uses, it is colorless, odorless and works rather nicely. One after another the prisoners all fall unconscious and at last, even the strongest, most resilient prisoner succumbs

Ai ya, she was supposed to be dead. Hadn't she died out there on the island? She put a hand to her forehead, then checked her abdomen, where most of the damage had been. Nothing. It couldn't have been a dream, with everyone else out there fighting. She had died, and she was still here. Somehow. What did it take to get out of this place? How many times would she die here? How many times would Wash or River or Simon have to feel like this?
Her head swam and she fell back against the padding on the floor. River had killed her. It was what the captain had always worried was going to happen someday, what everyone but Jayne had tried to assure him wouldn't.

No, no, she hadn't expected to download at all. There was no ship near the prison...or was there?
She opened her eyes, blinking at the light. She breathed in deeply and took in her surroundings. A white room. A white, padded room. Was this heaven?
No. No, there was a screen nearby, showing the island she had just been in. This must be the psych ward.
It had all been an illusion. But it had felt so real, even more than a projection ever did.

"Are you all right?" she asked. As all right as either of them could be as dead women.

What the hell happened? How did he get here? Good questions that had to be answered later. The real question was ...how serious will these 'prisoners' heed the voices commands.

He was standing in the open, both swords stuck through his sash, in his hakama and uwagi top, both black, the wind blowing his hair off his face.

'I don't want to shoot anyone. Where are we? Why are we here and who is in charge? Who are you?'

"Our Warden likes to play games with us, and people have been hurt before. Though I must say this is the worst so far. But I won't kill anybody unless I'm attacked with lethal force, and even then, it would depend on who it was. If the Warden's going to kill me today, then the bastard is going to kill me. My name is Hisoka Kurosaki. Who are you?"

Like the brunette, Sephiroth was in his battle gear, Masamune in hand, and a collar around his neck. He heard the orders and could not believe them. The voice in his head had gone silent for once and for that, he was glad. No insane urges took him over. "The Warden has, I noticed, gone out of his way to equip us. I have nearly all the summons from my world."

Tsuzuki tested the collar tugging it slightly. "There has got to be another way other then fighting. I won't do it, I won't fight anyone Sephiroth." he looked over at the church in the distance and clenched his fist.

A beach. How picturesque. The perfect setting for another of the Warden's violent mind games.
"Kill your fellow prisoners before they kill you. If you do not participate, you will be punished. Anyone who has not killed will die."
Lelouch's hands moved up to survey the strange weight around his neck as his lips slowly formed into a crooked grin like a cracking eggshell. His shoulders began to heave in laughter at the irony of his terrible plight.
His entire mission in attacking the other inmates with intent to kill beforehand had been based on the notion that the Warden valued the well-being of his prisoners. And here he was now -now that he had been made painfully aware that the Warden didn't care about his prisoners- being forced to seek spilling their blood again. Not only was it another dent in his already crumpled soul, not only would it damage the few remaining shadows of morals he had, it ( ... )

How fortunate it was, then, that aiming a gun at someone required their eyes to be focused on their target.
Leaving out his usual introductory embellishments he directed his sharply red eyes at the opposing orange. "Die," was the simple command.
((OOC: Interpret it as you will. :) Lelouch's geass is effective for a 270 meter distance and requires direct eye contact. It isn't effective against immortals, but I'm not certain if Alucard would qualify so I'll leave that up to you. I'm also not sure what 'die' would mean to Alucard, or even if he can effectively 'die'. xD And as usual, Lelouch is open for all manners of physical misfortune.))

Die
Alucard savored the word, and the energy that rushed into him was even more appealing. It tingled and it carried a message. Alucard's senses could practically taste it, the vampire begun to scream.
"AGAIN!" He held the gun firmly now and directly at Lelouch. He was demanding for the other to try again. "DO IT AGAIN! AGAIN!" He must have seemed completely crazy, insane even. A tongue far too long for any normal human snaked out and over his lips. He was hungry to see what this power of Lelouch's could do to him ( ... )
