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!

[Hear that? It's the stringing of a bow, the whine should be audible from this closer range.]

An apology, you worthless lout.

[Confident he won't do what?]
evilboygoofball: Please don't take. ♥ (Teeth grinding)

[personal profile] evilboygoofball 2012-04-06 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Totally gonna call your bluff here bro'.]

For what? If anything I'm waiting for you to apologize for trying to kill me, you psycho.

[Shooting at you, though his aim is really needing work. It's heading in your direction, dude, but no idea really wear, that's on you.]

[Inches away from one of his legs, really; just a bit more to the left and you would have got him.

But that has spooked the hell out of him, and he's fallen to the side, then sort've clumsily rolled onto his knees, standing.

[And now he mad. Oh so mad.]

Oh, so this is how it's gonna be, huh?

[Throwing on his backpack...

Then the propellers are coming out again and he's just gonna start to fly above the crowd.

Get a hobby that doesn't involve me, stalker! Ha!

[No way dude, he is getting his apology. But he's far better with his hands than with his arrows.]

[As in... gonna put his bow away and strong leap up to you, grabbing hard on to whatever part of you is dangling closer to the ground. Probably an ankle. Best hope he's not grabbing too hard.]
evilboygoofball: Or this. (Angry)

[personal profile] evilboygoofball 2012-04-07 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
H-Heyheyhey, no! Get off!

[Jack lets out a rather undignified girlish shriek, swinging back and forth with his helipack and shaking his leg to the best of his ability. He just really wants Equius to let go.]

I don't give free rides! GET OFF'A ME!

[So...basically the two are just sort of flying around in a completely random manner above the crowd below. And Jack's screaming.

BEST ASSEMBLY EVER.

[Yeah no, whipping his legs up and jerking his arms down to try and propel Jack down and into the floor before he leaps away and lands not very far from him.]

[The best.]

[And down he goes, crashing into the ground chin first and sliding a few feet forward, his body elevated until the moment he stops moving, at which point the rest of his body falls and hits the ground hard, earning another little yelp from him.]

C-c'mon man, it's just a waffle iron!

[Sob.]

[He merely dusts himself off and starts to walk over again.]

Yes, it certainly was, so it shouldn't be too difficult to form words in a way that at least sounds like apologizing.

Do it now.
