[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.

[Is it nice there? Though Nikolai couldn't possibly know, Sollux still stares at him like he's grown a second head, even as he covers his eyes. His mouth is overtaken by a frown.]

Our planet got hit by a meteoric apocalypthe and our whole thpethieth died ekthept for eleven of uth, and we were all doomed to die on the rock in thpathe we wound up thtuck on. Fuck no, it'th not nithe.

[The weight of that question pushes the second out of mind for now.]

[thleepy]

[ Weirdly enough, Nik actually cheers up. He peeks out at Sollux from between his fingers. ]

Oh! An apocalypse! We had an apocalypse too! [ Then Nik better processes some of the other stuff that Sollux has said and sombers up again. ] Oh I think ours was a lot different... maybe... Maybe it'll... be nicer here?

[ Nik lets his hands drops and looks around again. Everything's so clean and well-organized and there's so many people who aren't all trying to cannibalize one another! Surely there hasn't been an apocalypse here. ]

[Sollux predictably glares down at Nik for cheering up, of all things, at hearing they had an apocalypse. Way to have appropriate emotional responses there, little dude.]

We're thtill thtuck therving ath tholdierth for thome purpothe they won't even ekthplain properly. What doeth that even thay about my life when thomething like thith ith the better option? Or yourth, you freaky little kid.

[ Nik doesn't mind being called 'freaky'. He does mind being called a 'soldier,' and immediately looks alarmed. ]

Soldiers? We're supposed to be soldiers? [ He looks around frantically before returning his stare back to Sollux. ] Do we have to?
