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!

[ he's passing her as he goes to train, but--

he sees that look in her eyes. he's seen it before, in his friend's eyes. ]


Not used to fighting, huh?
fivetimesover: (surprise)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-12 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well no it's not that, but I guess it is still kind of scary. This is the first time I've had to go without my friends.
curepotion: (➔ who i am hates who i've been.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-12 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he pauses. ]

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of people here are probably feeling the same way.
fivetimesover: (worry)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-12 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That would make sense. I want to make them proud, even if they can't be here to see, do you know what I mean?
curepotion: (➔ clothes that i woke up in.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-12 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ his eyes on the ground, they flicker back up to Orihime with earnestness. ] I kind of do.
fivetimesover: (curiosity)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-17 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[she gives him a small but warm smile]
Maybe we can fight together for them?
curepotion: (➔ and i'll be there.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-24 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... that gives him a bit of surprise. ]

I--

[ he rubs the back of his neck. ]

Yeah. I guess it makes sense to, right?
fivetimesover: (joy)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-24 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it does!

[her usual cheerful demeanor seems to be returning]

(ooc: I cannot remember for the life of me if these 2 have already met, I don't want her to introduce herself if they have)
curepotion: (➔ spend my solitude with you.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-26 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course it does"... weren't you just pouting a minute ago?

[ his smile turns into something of a smirk, cool aloofness back. ]

[ ooc: they haven't met yet! ]
fivetimesover: (innocent)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-26 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I was alone before.

[SMIIIIIILE~]

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-27 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ wh-- ]

You'll might be alone again after we're done.
fivetimesover: (resolve)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-04-27 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[her smile fades just a little, but she's not going to let this get her down, not after she just started feeling better.]

Maybe, but right now I'm not alone and that is important.
curepotion: (➔ of the sea.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-04-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... his embarrassment and indignation fade away after a moment. her cheerfulness had suddenly set him off--it seemed so much like his best friend, he didn't want to be reminded of what he still didn't have here, after such a long while away.

so he sighs, humbled by her determination. ]


You're right.
fivetimesover: (hello)

[personal profile] fivetimesover 2012-05-01 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[she just gives the slightest little nod to that]

I'm Orihime Inoue, it's very nice to meet you.
curepotion: (➔ you might think i'm losing my mind.)

[personal profile] curepotion 2012-05-05 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Riku.

I guess it's nice to meet you, too.
