Touchdown in a frigid landscape creates a field of melted snow quickly turning into ice underneath the spaceship, ushering people into a wickedly cold environment in what looks like an untouched snowy landscape. It's difficult to make out the structure procured by the Scouting Team's efforts, but the older structure was being converted into something livable in a sense, heat brought in along with one or two women to work with the old power lines.

The New Initiative isn't a friendly lot. They're hesitant to engage, sometimes outright surly, and they watch the Transports for any sign of betrayal or the unusual. When they see signs, they gasp, or turn away, or frown, sometimes making comments before they can stop themselves. It's never more than a handful present at any time. Larger gatherings are too dangerous, and they can't afford for this to be a trap that sets them back a decade or more.

Transports have whatever they brought down with them. Areas of the facility are able to be sectioned off, acting like smaller private rooms. They're meant to be emergency stay-over spaces, holding residents who need extra help before moving around in this landscape. Places where the clinic might set up too, but it's all the Transports moving as they are right now, and no sense of something larger to guide them. The AI focuses it's efforts on coordinating the move of the Transport Pad and operating the ship itself. Everyone's been busy.

[So, the weather. Dangerous? Possibly enough to make this place uninhabitable for most of them?

As if.

Bundled up as well as she could manage, Hajime stops, hands on her hips.]

Yeah, yeah... All we all need now is somewhere to live!

[revolutionized]

[She's still got her clothing from before Exsilium was destroyed and restored. It's not enough for this weather, but with her jacket buttoned up and her scarf pulled over her mouth, it isn't so bad. She'd overheard talk of how different things were, how the Initiative was a lot less open to housing them, but it hadn't really hit her that she'd have to look for a place on her own.

What to do? She wasn't good at anything marketable, and she wasn't even sure if she was good at the things she thought she was good at. This new world was cold and hard and unforgiving to anyone, most of all children who knew nothing about the world but fairytales that ended in failed revolutions.

She doesn't want to do anything at all, she decides. Rest in the snow and fall asleep, maybe. Her younger self had the right idea all those years ago. But then she hears a bright, chipper voice nearby, and decides to speak up instead. She doesn't know why.]

You make it sound like it's easy. [Above her scarf, her blue eyes are dark and unconvinced.]

[dayplanners]

[Hajime looks up, her smile never faltering.

Not easy, huh... Well, she's not exactly surprised to have someone get that impression, has grown rather used to getting that kind of response, even. But...]

Nope! It's not gonna be easy! We're gonna have to work really, really hard and then we're probably still gonna have to do a whole lot more to live here.

But that's just fine.

[revolutionized]

That's fine with you?

[Her tone is more than a little disbelieving. It's difficult for her to make sense of cheerfulness lately, especially in an environment like this. She's always feeling along the cracks of a conversation now, trying to find the lie.

It's tiring.] Where are you gonna start?

[dayplanners]

Yeah, yeah, of course it is! It just means we're really gonna like what we end up with! It's good to work hard sometimes, too!

[She crosses her arms at the question though, seeming to think it over for a moment.]

...First I've gotta find somewhere to stay.

[ooc: oh my god, I AM SO SORRY, I thought I'd already replied to this, I'm sorry!]

[revolutionized]

Or we'll just settle for whatever we can find around here.

[She's not sure when this became 'we,' but there's no real malice in her tone. Just general grumpiness.]

I've gotta find somewhere too. I don't really know where to start though...

(ooc: it's fine! i'll backtag forever lol)

[dayplanners]

That's fine, too! [She nods, seemingly unconcerned.] If we've gotta settle for whatever we can find, that just means we can fix it up how we want. It'll be...

[A grin.] It'll be like a DIY project!

[The grin falters as she finally processes those last words... and promptly comes back in full force.] So if it'll be like a DIY project, we can work together on it! That's how you start.

ahh sorry for the wait!

[revolutionized]

[The irrepressible cheer reminds her of Wakaba a little, and it's what makes her pause, give the idea some consideration.] Alright, then we'll work together.

[It seemed so daunting, though, and just saying wasn't the same as doing.] Maybe we can start by looking for some kinda work around here.

no problem!! i'm slow anyway so hahaha

[dayplanners]

[All riiight, score! If she's got someone working with her, then this will definitely be a lot more fun!]

Yeah, yeah, great! We can look for work and then...

Bam! Then we can get some more help to build somewhere like that!

[Flawless plan, as far as she's concerned.]

So we've gotta hurry and find something!
