transport log » ❝ welcome to Exsilium ❞

Date: January 3rd
Location: The Initiative Hold & Courtyard.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports have all arrived and have been led to a banquet room within the Hold.
Warnings: None.

You've just been hustled and bustled through mazes of information and literal, wide corridors of the Initiative Hold and you've been equipped with your weapon—be it a gun, a sword, or even your existing powers. They've handed you this light netbook and a small pouch of coins (or a debit card, if you're more inclined), and there are several Transports before and after you going through the very same motions. You can hear the Greeter's voice as she walks alongside large groups, telling them all about the history of this place and sharing with you your purpose here in a hurried and urgent tone. "You're in luck that we have enough rooms for all of you; the housing building is getting awfully full. Please, let me show you into the courtyard."

You pass what looks like huge gymnasiums, all with dummies and targets strewn and splayed around the room. Training areas. There are even classrooms, and a few small offices. You're rushed past a large library while the Greeter informs you that you can find almost all your information there, if you've got the time to look—and trust her, you'll have time. You don't spend a lot of time in the bank, and it's a bit of a blur of exchanges with more and more of these strangely-accented and oddly polite-seeming members of the Initiative.

Soon enough, you're in a massive courtyard bustling with all the other Transports. It's not exactly what you'd expect, and it looks more like barracks than anything—huge walls of concrete and stone, separating you from all of the hallways you'd just passed through. It's raining heavily, and dark clouds loom in the air, though it hasn't turned to snow. It's a chill cold, and there are shelters—long cloth hangings that extend from the walls of concrete to house you from the rain, but not enough. Most notably, the courtyard is filled with a marketplace. Even in the cold and the rain, there are several citizens seated at their covered booths and tables, bundled up against the weather. They're selling all manner of their own handmade goods and foods, and citizens and Transports alike are traveling from one small covered shop to another in search of all manner of necessities.

The Greeter's voice has become so faint now, but you swear you can make it out in the back of the crowds as she tells you, "Good luck. Be safe!"

Her voice is drowned out by the busy marketplace, though even the transactions taking place are somewhat subdued. Nobody is overly happy, really, though most citizens can be found with smiles on their faces. It doesn't seem like they're that shocked to see you, either; even if you're not bound in tattered rags and wrapped in heavy shawls as they are. You're welcome to walk up to a shop, and find yourself something to eat—hey, maybe you'll even find something akin to a raincoat. Or, you can join the others under the coverings against the walls. Where am I? What war? She was talking so fast, and it didn't all make very much sense… did anyone else catch it all?

Welcome to the courtyard. Welcome to the Initiative Hold—and most importantly, welcome to Exsilium

Oh. [ He takes the brochure and gives it a quick skim over. Hey, this is pretty useful.

But he looks up back at Feferi. ]
Uh... I'm not really sure. ...I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing right now.
fintastic: (i'm gonna get naked and take a shower)

You know, I'm not sure either? I guess whatever you want! Get to know people, start learning your way around, get something to eat if you're hungry...
fadedaway: (hello hello i am shiro)

[personal profile] fadedaway 2013-01-07 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ He studies her for a moment. "Get to know people"? Well, first thing she listed, so may as well! ]

I'm Yashiro Isana. [ He thinks, but doesn't have much of an alternative, huh. Brightening, he sticks out his hand for a handshake. ] Nice to meet you!
fintastic: (biiiiig smile)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-01-07 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Feferi Peixes, it's nice to meet you too!

[ She accepts, though it's not an organic gesture for her. She seems a little awkward at it. ]

Do you know where you're staying yet?

[ It's not really for him either, but hey! They can be awkward together.

Yashiro draws his hand away and scratches his chin. ]
No, not yet. I haven't left, uh... this place, yet. [ Glancing around. Where did that lady say the housing was? ]
fintastic: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-01-08 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like me to take you there? Everyone lives in the same place, unless you move out.
fadedaway: (smiley)

[personal profile] fadedaway 2013-01-09 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, would you? [ Tilts his head. That was easy. Hopefully everyone here is this nice. ] If you don't mind, that would help a lot.
fintastic: (i'm gonna get naked and take a shower)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-01-09 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah sure! Do you still have your key, and do you remember the apartment number?
fadedaway: (heh come with me)

[personal profile] fadedaway 2013-01-09 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ He rummages around his pocket for a moment, eventually fishing out his key and dangles it proudly in the air. ] Five oh... four? Five? Something like that.
fintastic: (look what i can do with my tongue)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-01-10 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
We can try the key in both and see if it works!

[ She's already starting off towards the housing building, but keeps talking. ]

Are you excited to meet your new roommates?
fadedaway: (smiley)

[personal profile] fadedaway 2013-01-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Following after! ]

Oh, right, roommates... Uh, yeah! I hope they're nice people. [ Well, everyone here seems to be pretty nice so far. Or maybe he's just getting lucky. ]
fintastic: (hmmm~)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-01-11 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
I think most people here are pretty nice! Some of them you just have to get to know better to find the niceness.
