Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luciano had stopped reading his Bible when guards approached Koji's cell first, which was next door to his left, and opened it to let them out to go to the showers.
Luciano had seen things like this in the movies. They tell you you're going to the showers to wash up, but they take you there only to kill you with Cyanide Gas that would be previously rigged in the shower heads. It wasn't exactly the way Luciano thought he would go out, then again nothing ever goes as its planned. "Does it ever?", he quietly asked himself.
The Guards awaited for some of 'C' Block to clear out of their cells, then shut and locked them after they had cleared out. Luciano's turn would be soon, so he put down his Bible and readied himself. He remembered the smell of Almonds so he knew exactly what to look for, and what to do, in case these guys ever decided to screw him over in the near future. To be quite honest he really was afraid. What would happen to everyone he knew? What would happen to Michelle? Who would take care of his family? What would the Kuros do if their 'Alpha Team' had all died in Prison? These questions filled his head, and more kept coming. Finally the guards had come to his cell, one said to him, "Alright. Out you guys go." Luciano softly nodded and came out quietly.

Luciano wasn't close enough to the showers yet, but when he walked down 'C' Block he noticed some of the inmates looking at him. Some of them seemed very malnourished, and he couldn't blame them. The food didn't look so good, anyway. With that being said, his stomach began to growl. He had wished he would have eaten before fighting.

The line to the showers was long. Luciano couldn't see anyone he knew, and this frightened him a little bit. "What?. . I'm scared?" he thought, he looked around him and he still couldn't see anyone he knew. All he could see were some inmates wrapped up in their towels- some athletic-seeming, some overweight, some slightly overweight, and some even sickly-looking, the others were still dressed in their prison uniforms; either hiding their frames or didn't have time to undress. The line Luciano stood in was slowly moving forward occasionally and constantly stopping. They all stood in this hallway-like area, with fluorescent lighting, and it carried the echos of all the males speaking softly and loudly- some more louder than others. The walls made of cement and painted white, and the floor seemed dirty to him. Luciano swallowed hard, and he said to himself, "Remain Calm. They could be anywhere." He looked around once more, like a lost little child looking for his parents or his friends.

Luciano wasn't even close to the showers yet, he saw some guys talking about drugs and how some of them got in prison because of it. It wasn't until a little while later did he hear the small, and familiar, voice from behind him "So. . you never told me, or our other Cellmates what you were in for." Luciano looked over at him, the pink-ish Dark elf smiled at him. As smuch as Luciano hated talking to convicts, he realized that he was one now. So, he thought 'What the hell. Might as well.', Luciano cleared his throat and he said, "Far too many things. I don't really want to talk about it. Especially here." the Elf kept his smile and he nodded. He said, "I got in here by accident- see, I was with my friends, before we went to hang out and buy some Chili fries, cops stopped us- Um, human Cops- and they said I looked like this guy that they were after. They're still working to get me out, though." Luciano shook his head in total disbeliefe, he wondered if this guy knew what he was saying. He said to him, "Um. . how long have you been here exactly?" he asked, the Elf said to Luciano, "Ummmmm. . . Well, I was convicted in early July, was denied a whole bunch of things- Like visitation from my family, Conjugal visits from my significant other,. . sooooo. . . Close to two years now." Luciano suddenly felt bad for him. He sighed, he wondered if he knew they weren't really working on getting the right guy behind bars. Luciano hated cases like this, but all he could say to him was, "Well. . . someday you'll get out of here. And when you do, you can start over again."

((I got waffle's permission to throw something in. Just have some fun with this!))

When Luciano and his cellmate approached the showers, Alarms suddenly started to go off, Guards and inmates scattered throught the men's section of the Prison. There was an announcement over the loud speaker but Luciano couldn't hear it. For those still in their cells, the cells were locked down, and for those that were supposed to be waiting for a shower all scattered and ran in multiple directions. Luciano gasped and got out of the way as fast as possible, but when he realized that he was alone he darted for the nearest hallway. The first thing he thought of doing was to go looking for the guys. Last time he saw Koji he was in line a few paces behind him. Luciano, almost panicked, ran down the halls of the wing he was currently on. He wanted to look around for a guard so he could disarm him and go looking for the guys, then go on to the women's wing for find the ladies and then make a break for it. But first he needed to find Skotti and Koji, wherever they were he hoped they were taking good care of themselves. .

((Yes. There's a small Riot going on in the men's wing.))

A announcement in the women's wing suddenly came on, "ATTENTION: We have a situation in the Prison. We are now scheduling a lock down of the entire Prison. Please remain calm and stay in your Cells. Thank you for your cooperation." Michelle gasped and she said to Waffle, "We have to get out of here! The guys could be in trouble!" she jumped up and tried to get the cell door open. Even though her attempts kept failing, he tried over and over to get the door open.

Meanwhile,
Luciano darted down Cell block after Cell block, trying to find where everyone was. There were inmates all over the place, and he ran past guard after guard, doing his best to evade each capture attempt. Once he nearly got caught but thankfully another inmate tackled the guard onto the floor and began beating him senseless. Once Luciano came down one of the Cell blocks, he began searching each other the cells hoping to find one of his friends. He shouted out their names, unsure if he would be heard or not due to the fact that the alarms were going off.

Michelle tried desperately to open the cell door, almost in tears, she said to Waffle, "I don't care! We have to get this open! We have to see if they're all okay!- Do you know where Pen is?"

Meanwhile,
Luciano finally ran down 'A' Block and started screaming for his friends. He didn't know who was on this block, but someone HAD to be here.
As he ran as fast as he could, one of the inmates suddenly clothes-lined Luciano. The guy laughed and got up, leaving Luciano on the floor, coughing and trying to keep his eyes open. After a while, he got up and continued to run down the corridor, calling the names of his friends out, "Skotti?!!. . Sabe?! Koji, where are you?!" as he ran, he looked into each and every Cell hoping to find at least one of them.
