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! ]]

You could take care of it, together, yes!

_{[Flora reaches over to gently pet the koala.]} You really like animals, don't you, Kido/

_{[She smiles curiously, tilting her head.]} Did you have something in mind about hte music?

[concealingeyes]

[It's easy to tell these people have been shut-in a while since the koala doesn't mind the touch. Or maybe it's just a koala thing. Kido pointedly ignores the animal comment but the light flush on her cheeks is enough.]

Well, I still want to have a music club... And I want to learn guitar. And singing, too. The only singing I do is in the shower but I could get better, I think.

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[Kido, you're adorable. Flora notes the blush, but won't say anything further on it. For now.

She laughs lightly.]</sub>

Shower singing is like a warm up before warming up! But really, I think you should, if you want to. I think one of cool things about this place is how many people are into music. I know I'd definitely join if you started one!

[concealingeyes]

You said you play instruments right? Could you maybe teach me...?

[showmeyourwreath]

Yes, absolutely. _{[Flora moves to reach out and rest her hand on Kido's shoulder for a moment, smiling.]}

I did say I would, didn't I? The only I play though is the guitar. And sing!

[concealingeyes]

[She's a little surprised to be touched but she doesn't mind.]

Hey, that works since it's what I want to learn. All my favourite songs use guitar.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Flora does a lot of bad frand touching Kido. c:]}

Excellent! Though, hmm. _{[She taps a finger to her chin, once.]} I have a question for you: do you have any favourite colours?

[concealingeyes]

[It's a little embarrassing but she tugs at her hoodie.] Purple for sure.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Flora smiles.]}

Hey, it's a very nice colour and it suits you, too. In fact, it's actually one of my favourites, too.

[concealingeyes]

Really? What's your favourite then?

[showmeyourwreath]

I do like most colours, but I have a few favourites: purple, green, and pink!

<sub>[You will never see her without at least one of them in an outfit.

Never.]</sub>
