MISSION: RELEASE THEM BACK INTO THE WILD

Date & Time: April 27th - May 1st
Location: Wollongong, Australia, 2464.
Characters: All voluntary transports + maybe a few drafted ones.
Summary: Make those stay-at-homes leave their nerdcaves! My god, do they even know what sunshine looks like???
Warnings: none planned, will be updated accordingly!

The city is old, dark, and very, very quiet. A good deal of the buildings are crumbling and old, but the ones that are actually inhabited glow like candles in the dusk the Transporter has dropped you into. All of these buildings are infested by wiring pouring in from every angle, ensuring that each inhabitant in his or her little block of a room has every modern convenience available in 2464.

There is no one on the streets, no public transportation, and even cars look scarce. But that doesn't mean there's no movement. Maintenance drones, controlled remotely, run deliveries or work repairs. Armed law enforcement drones patrol on rounds through the city, although their mechanized attention is mostly turned outward. Still, they might come to investigate a ruckus within the city limits. And if the persons causing the ruckus don't respond to peaceful attempts to get them to cease, the drones might attempt to subdue them with paralyzing technology and haul them in for a night in the city jail — another dark, unused place.

If you get hungry, there are entire warehouses dedicated to the production of foods. It can't be that hard to sneak in and collect a meal, right? Or you can hack into the system and order whatever you want, if you're good with that kind of thing. Or you can just scavenge—or fast for four days, maybe—if thieving and hacking aren't your style.

And somewhere around here, in those glowing, secluded towers, behind the legions of automated drones, live the reclusive citizens of Wollongong. The methods are up to you, as long as you can get them to come out and breathe the fresh air somehow.

[[ ooc; Mission details are here! This will run from 27th of April to May 1st, with those on the mission returning to Exsilium at the same time that the new arrivals show up. It's an optional mission, but if you'd like your character to go along that would ICly sit it out, feel free to say that the Initiative drafted them for this one.

There aren't any teams or structured threads to this one, so go wild! ]]

Yeah, that's right.

[She raises a hand and motes of golden-green light fall from it. Pretty, but nothing at all extravagant. It's just to prove herself if nothing else.

The light fades and she folds her hands excitedly]


Oh, wow! Are they all born with the ability for multiple, or start with the one, and then learn more? Are you equally as comfortable with yours, or do you have one that you're best at?

[Nerd Alert. Nerd Alert!]
wilder: (whoa that's something)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-04-30 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh...

[OH GODDESS ITS A NERD RUN FOR IT- okay he can try to answer these questions. Even if he doesn't fully know...]

Uh well everyone with magic is born with the potential for certain elements. Some have a few, some have a lot- though you have to learn them on their own. And ahahah sure! I got elements I'm more comfortable with than others!

[personal profile] showmeyourwreath 2013-04-30 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
A few or a lot, wow...'a few' would already be a great deal where I'm from. Do you have more than those two?

[She smiles interestedly, but then looks thoughtful a moment. She could be wrong, but....]

And everyone that has magic, are they all from the same place?
wilder: (cheee- no.)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-05-03 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A few more, yeah. Does everyone just have one element in your world or something?

[He shrugs]

Just people with elven blood in them.

Amazing! I bet that's excellent for being adaptable.

[Flora loves her powers, but she can't deny that having an assortment would be tactically advantageous. It's also just really, really awesome.]

The world I was born more or less has magic that revolves around the one, and it's similar for other worlds. But I've come into a second one, and my friends have come into two more.

[Because sob, she basically already had one of them already.

Flora looks taken aback. Well, that's different.]


Really? Just elven blood....

[She muses. That's interesting...and disappointing to hear, somehow. The curiosity is still there, but she wilts, just a little.]

Is that very common?
wilder: (pain in the ass...)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-05-05 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
The other worlds...? [Like she knows of multiple worlds?]

And...I don't know, not super common. Why? Is something wrong?
showmeyourwreath: (✾ Red Rover)

[personal profile] showmeyourwreath 2013-05-05 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[You betcha.] Yeah! If we use my friends as examples, we were all born on different worlds. Each realm has its own speciality, you could say.

[At the question she blinks and folds her hands together, looking sheepish. Oh, she must have been obvious.]

No, no, I was just wondering...that doesn't cause big any problems or anything, does it? Everyone not being able to use magic, I mean.
wilder: (scribbles of frustration)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-05-05 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa...how many worlds are there?

[Since yeah, first time he's heard of MULTIPLE worlds being in the same place]

Well...half-elves are really not liked by humans or elves. That tends to cause problems.
showmeyourwreath: (❁ Dove)

[personal profile] showmeyourwreath 2013-05-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Several dozen, off the top of my head?

[Dimensions are huge places.]

I'm sorry...that's...that's really awful. Something like that really shouldn't matter.
wilder: (stand and watch)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-05-05 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously?? ...Whoa.

[jeez way more than just the two he knows. But he'll cross his arms and shrug at the latter part]

Yeah, maybe. But that's how people are- they don't like people who are too different.
showmeyourwreath: (❁ Redbay)

[personal profile] showmeyourwreath 2013-05-05 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's pretty easy to get between them too, if you have the right spell or ship.

Definitely. [Not maybe. It's a gentle, but firm admission. People could be foolish, sometimes, even if at the same time, Flora couldn't blame them for their circumstances. It was all just very unfortunate business.]

Yeah, they are like that, sometimes. People fear or dislike what they don't understand it, until they do. And they can, but it might take time. [She looks thoughtful a moment.] I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry, Kaneis, it just reminded me of something I'd been through recently. I guess I just worried.

[But in her case, it got better, and she didn't have to deal with it as long as he did, she's guessing.]

Where I'm from, it doesn't matter who or what you are, everyone can do magic Even if they choose not to, they have that capability, sure as breathing. On its own, I have to say it's strange to me, that only some people can do magic. [That only some get to breathe.]
