MISSION: RELEASE THEM BACK INTO THE WILD

[initiates]

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! ]]

He's pretty much a magpie... You know, he has interest in everything. Geography, language, technology... Ah, I'm getting him some photography equipment. But he's someone I can honestly say loves what you get him. He'll find something interesting to talk about from it. That's the kind of thing that makes him happiest.

[To put it more bluntly, he likes being able to share things with people. Kido smiles unconsciously at the thought.]

So, what would you want him to talk about with you? That'd be what he likes best.

[copia]

Hm... [ she taps her finger on her chin before nodding. ] I'll definitely keep that in mind, especially if I can't find anything during this mission.

[concealingeyes]

You'll probably find something.

[Kido finishes chucking a few items into her bag and turns to her.]

Hm, speaking of that, do you need a hoodie? It's pretty much our uniform.

[ Kaede looks up from a package she's examining in her hands, grabbing the bag she found to set it into. A hoodie? She pauses for a moment to think if she bought one, before shaking her head. ]

No, I don't. Should I keep my eye out for one I like?

[concealingeyes]

Definitely. Official members need a hoodie. We could give you one but you should probably pick out what you think suits you best.

[copia]

[ A nod! ] Do I need to leave room for anything, like a pin or something?

[concealingeyes]

We don't have anything like that. The hoodies just identify us, you know? Like a secret code only we know.

[copia]

Ahh, got it. I'll definitely find one I like to be my official one!

[concealingeyes]

[Kaede gets a thumbs up.] Show it off once you've got it. It's something special between us.

[copia]

Of course! [ Thumbs up has been returned! ]
