[initiates]

Date & Time: Evening, 10th February 3312
Location: Transport Room
Characters: Open To All
Summary: Everyone is brought into the transport room at roughly the same time, in a great succession and flow of imported individuals. Everyone is being lead around in small bundles, or left to their own devices together inside the Initiative Hold.
Warnings: None.

Widespread and crowded, everyone is being transported into this unusually bright room with an efficiency that is almost horrifying. One after the other, new people are appearing -- being led, shown around and then ultimately abandoned with one final phrase; "Good luck."

The Initiative Hold is wide, like a small town in its depth and industry. You've received your weapon; you've got your keys, your netbook, and one of those robed strangers has shoved a small pouch full of what you can only assume is money into your open palm. You've been given an apartment, but where on earth -- are we on earth? -- is it? Your best opportunity right now is to mingle; at least, that's what everyone else appears to be doing. Those strangers in the robes have left. They're tending to the people who are arriving, one by one and in a quick procession. Energy bustles all around you, as you're strapped up with your sudden gifts and looking around.

Hey, maybe you'll even see some familiar faces.

[ she knows how to keep her poise, doesn't she? he feels just a little envious--he definitely didn't take this so well his first time around. ]

Sounds like you've been through a lot.

[llywelin]

Does it? [Almost embarrassed sounding. Not that he isn't right but Lion finds it easier to consider the problems of others. Anything personal gets swept aside, so it does take a moment to consider it.]

...I suppose I have, yes. But I imagine most people here have as well. At least that's how it feels, as though this is another unfortunate problem among many for all.

[curepotion]

Everyone's experiences are different.

[ he shrugs. ]

This could be the worst thing for some people. We need to stay together.

[llywelin]

...You're very considerate. Though I wouldn't wish for anyone to be dragged into this, I'm glad someone caring is here. You're right and it would be cruel to abandon anyone.

[curepotion]

'Considerate', huh...?

[ that definitely wouldn't be a word he'd use to describe himself. he chuckles lightly. ]

It's just common sense. If two heads are better than one...

Who knows. Maybe it's not as bad as we think.

[llywelin]

[Lion smiles.]

I do tend towards the optimistic side of things. Though, I can't say handing out weapons after being kidnapped is the best first impression. Even then, getting riled won't help anyone. If I can help, let me know. I don't know your circumstances but even just talking like this, I know I'd be happy working with you.

[curepotion]

[ is it bad, or is it good? Riku has to wonder--the first thing he was given when he appeared in another world the first time around was Soul Eater. it'd been after a while, yes, but it still had been the first item he was granted.

would they need weapons, in this world? was it that dangerous? who knew until they stepped out of that door... ]

... sure.

I'll remember. [ but, knowing him... he'd probably take any issues he encounters on his own. ]

If you need help, Lion, don't think this is just a one-way deal.

[llywelin]

[Lion is well-versed in the types who prefer to handle things on their own, even when it would be better to ask for help. In all honesty, Lion tends to be one, too. But that is slowly changing. It does mean being certain he knows the offer is as good as a promise.]

Thank you. It's...nice in a way to have someone closer to my age. So I hope you won't mind if sometimes, 'help' just means a friendly conversation.

[curepotion]

I hope you don't mind if I'm lousy at conversation.

[llywelin]

I'm only skilled at it if it's about responsibilities or something like that. So at least you're in fine company.

[curepotion]

Then maybe this place isn't so bad.

[llywelin]

I hope it won't be awful, at least. [With a slight bow.] Uhm, I hope we can be friends. I'll do my best to look out for the others as well.

[Riku really does just strike Lion as a caring person.]

[curepotion]

[ a bow? he mimics it, guessing that it's respectful. ]

Good. Thanks.

[ maybe he can trust Lion to do this sort of thing. .. maybe he can just trust Lion. ]
