[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.

[misfortunes]

It's rather charming to think that it is out of this sort of material that the Initiative plans to make its resistance and forces. Small wonder, then, that they haven't yet won against the power in charge—the greater miracle's that they haven't been wiped out entirely. Still—they've left their cannon fodder armed and capable of entertainment. Whatever else might be said of the situation, that might be a kindness for now.

"What a pity," Vincent remarks, apparently touched by the tragedy of Jade's misfortune. "I didn't think men who forgot all their dreams existed." His mismatched eyes flicker. "Would you take the honour, then...?"

"What a heartless thing to suggest to someone." Jade's affectation is that of offense. "You could get someone to seriously hurt themselves that way."

[misfortunes]

"It is, isn't it!" Jade's introduced a revelation—a breakthrough, an epiphany. It's a pity that Vincent seems so inclined to laugh at it. "If the dream isn't true, that is. Are you so certain already?"

[clinical]

"I can see no purpose in assuming otherwise." It's the easy acceptance of someone who wouldn't be too upset if he did wake up to learn everything was a dream.
