open log » ❝ mission oo1 briefing ❞

Date & Time: 04.04.3312
Location: Training Gymnasium in the Initiative Hold.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: Everyone is summoned to a briefing and training, pre-mission for the very first mission.
Warnings: None.

There would come a demanding ping on every netbook at once. An urgent call to arms, a request for each and every transport to return to the Initiative Hold immediately. If ignored, the ping would continue until it reached its full volume -- overtaking the senses only until its owner complied, deafening in its insistence. At the Hold, there were several more Initiative attendees to rush each and every transport into a large training gymnasium previously unseen by all residents of the island of Exsilium. The auditorium was massive -- its walls whitewashed, its ceiling patterned with dim, purple ambient lighting.

There was a stage set up near the very back of the large room. A man, stern and young-looking, stood in the center of the stage and held a microphone in front of his pursed lips. Behind the stage was a set of time travel plates more populated than even the arrival room -- there had to be at least forty-five plates, all attended by a member of the Initiative, who stood beside the plate in wait and with a distant expression. Only once all of the transports were successfully congregated into their auditorium, did the astringent, black-haired man begin to speak. "This is a briefing," he began, his voice equally authoritative and matching the expression of great urgency on his angular features. "Tomorrow, we begin our very first mission. A mission into the past.

You will be sent to the year 115 CE, in the midst of a turmoil between the Romans and an Assyrian village. It is in both ours and imperatively your own best interest to help defend this village, and to send the Romans retreating to their own homes. You absolutely must comply with this mission. Not only for yourselves, but for your families at home in their own worlds. For all of us.

You will have twenty-four hours from this time to utilise this gymnasium. You will find an array of weaponry at your disposal, and will have access to your own chosen weapon. Use them. Train fiercely, as you have no choice in this initial mission to pick a different path. You all must fight. After your twenty-four hours of practise, you will be given your cloaking devices -- they will make you untraceable to the native people to the time in which you find yourself. Do not, under any circumstances, remove your cloaking device. It will not only be detrimental to you, but to your friends and your colleagues here, as well as your friends and family in their home worlds.

You will be summoned back from whatever your whereabouts at the success of your mission. Should you die during your mission, you will be summoned immediately and brought into the Initiative Infirmary and you will be healed. Do not die. Do not turn your back on your colleagues and your friends. Remain vigilant. The imperative nature of the success of your mission will be made clear upon your return to this world. There is nothing more that we can give than our word.

Finally, I will be coming with you. I will be your mentor and your guide during our mission and I will do my utmost to keep you safe, prepared, trained and informed. Slowly, our world here in Exsilium will become less and less enshrouded in mystery. Slowly, we are able to reveal our true selves, and with it we hope we will gain a much-needed trust. We do not withhold information easily, and it comes to us at a great cost. Thank you, everyone, and let your sessions begin!

Her recongiztion tipped him off, eyes going from determined to inquisitive--but he didn't get to actually voice his question as she fell back into a defensive stance.

Riku attacked with a quick flurry of strikes--in odd numbers, five shallow hits pointed at her midsection. After a moment, launching back onto his feet and a few feet away from her, he spoke. "How do you know about the Keyblade?"

Raven created a shield of black energy to protect herself from the hits. It broke after the fourth one. She hastily jumped backward, landing in a crouched position.

She sighed at his question. This time she couldn't use the fact that she knew of his housemates. "I knew you from before. I mean I met you in a place I was before being brought here. My memories are a bit fuzzy. But I remember you."

"In a place... before." He squints at her and tries to reason with what he already knows. She looked about his age--they couldn't have met when he was younger, and he would remember her if he'd known her in the past two years. (Wouldn't he? Unless there were memories fragmented from his time too, somehow--but he didn't think Namine had a reason to do that. Not that he'd know...)

"I don't remember you."

The unspoken 'why?' on his tongue stopped him from attacking.

"And I shouldn't remember you. This place, Adstringendum... We're supposed to lose our memories when we live it and be sent back home. But I was sent here instead and I still have some memories from Adstringendum."

She looked at him, noticing how confused he looked and that he had stopped attacking her. "I can't explain it any better than that."

... right.

So the chain of Raven's memory was likely, what--damaged? Somehow, links were missing, and links that should've been forgotten were still there. He frowns at the thought, even when Raven clarifies that it can't be explained further. "I guess... we can't do anything about it. Your memories." A sigh. "There's nothing wrong with remembering." He shifted back into his battle stance.

"No. We can't." She was starting to wonder if it really bothered him when he spoke. She nodded. "I guess that after a while the new memories will take the place of the old ones." She mirrored his move, falling into her own fighting stance.
