( open ) i'll fly you to the moon and back

Date & Time: September 21st - September 30th, 11:59 PM
Location: The Hold, the Moon Base
Characters: Any/all.
Summary: The Transports are evacuating to the Moon Base. Those on the Moon Base try to settle in and figure out their next move. Setting info can be found here.
Warnings: Talk of nuclear warheads and reference to immense loss of life. Please contact the mods should any individual thread get graphically violent or anything else of the sort.
Note: Use date and location tags in your subject headlines! Such as "On the moon, 23rd onward" or "On the spaceship, 25th" or "down at the Hold, 29th."

The Hold is a flurry of activity, grim faced members of the Initiative group directing supplies and people with the subdued air of people facing their own doom, and wondering at how to process the knowledge. None of the Initiative appears unaware of what will happen; their eyes linger on the Transports, expressions pleading, hopeful, doubtful, or immeasurably sad in turn.

Every eight hours, the space ship is sent back up with a load of people and supplies. The pilots are worked until they can't; the AI stolen ages ago by the Initiative greets and corrals people and supplies at both ends, and in the middle step between.

The network continues to broadcast on narrow channels between the Moon Base and Exsilium, up until the time that all connections are lost, with the carrier located en route to Exsilium. The first airship will pass by without dropping anything, but it's too early to celebrate. At a six hour delay from behind, the second airship arrives, and with it, the dark promise of the Black Code's nuclear weaponry.

The six hour window allows for time for those left behind, either by choice or circumstance, to be pulled to the Moon Base with the successful activation of the Transport Pad. New characters will ultimately arrive with the remainder of those not yet on the Moon Base, all in time to witness the explosive contact of the nuclear warhead with the ground of Exsilium live on satellite.

But until then, there's only the hurry, the silence, and the potential for full out rioting should the Transports spread word to the Exiles inevitably left behind to face this fate.

[Shintaro's in a hurry, bag slung over his shoulders and on his way back to the housing building to make sure Momo and the rest of them have gathered everything they need and maybe something more. Still, when he sees a child and half of a teenager disappear into the storage compartment of a motorcycle, he's got to stop and question that because what?]

H-hey, oy! Don't fall in there! [He runs over and reaches to grab Naoya back--]

[Life in Exsilium: This is apparently what you see walking down the street now.

Naoya's so focused on his panicked task of searching for the kid before it gets smothered by the packages or gets into one of the ice bags that he doesn't hear anyone coming. He's startled enough by the voice that he tries to jerk back out of the compartment on his own, but since Shintaro's reaching over it's probably just the perfect recipe for a collision of some sort--]

W-Whoa! Watch it! Look, this is my motorcycle, I'm not gonna just fall-- Oh, it's you.

[He does finally manage to extract himself, and just blinks at his new companion, a little nonplussed.]

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-09-24 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
... No, wait, I don't have time right now, I gotta get the kid out of my trunk!

[Time to dive right back in there...!]

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-24 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a --

Dude! This isn't the time to be playing some sort of kidnapping prank! What the hell are you trying to do!?
anotheryosuke: (Too many Misakis on the dance floor.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-09-25 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Somewhat muffled:]

I didn't do anything! There is no prank! There is no kidnapping, this is more like a home... vehicle... invasion!

[There's a couple of distinct THUMPS, a faint yelp, annnnnnd no, you know what, there he goes, he actually fell in.

Oops.]

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-27 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[JFC MAN.

Shintaro dives to catch him!! He manages to grab him by the leg and hold on.]


What are you even doing?!
anotheryosuke: (Nobody's turned on at all.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-09-27 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[It's kind of hilariously pointless, because now he's just stuck sort of half-lying on the floor of the compartment with his legs in the air. It's a pretty roomy little nook in there. Naoya blinks a few times, realizes he isn't in a heap, and cautiously shifts. Yep, that's the floor.

He twitches his leg a little, because the blood is kind of rushing to his head and that's uncomfortable.]

Um, you can let go, I'm not actually falling anywhere. [Wait, he's talking into the floor.] And I'm just tryin' to find the kid that climbed in, okay? I can't exactly keep it in the trunk.

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-28 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? Jesus if you don't make your way out it's not my fault.

[He pauses. He pauses. Then he lets go!]
anotheryosuke: (Let's put it in now.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-09-28 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't get lost in my own trunk.

[You also said you wouldn't fall in, but we're ignoring that.

Naoya winces a little since he definitely just kicked himself trying to get upright, but soon enough a hand emerges from the compartment and waves a little in (presumably) Shintaro's direction.]

All good, see? It's not that bad-- [he looks around, sighs a little] --um, though, you wouldn't happen to have a flashlight or candy or anything to find a kid with?

[Shintaro doesn't look like the type that keeps candy in his pockets but it doesn't hurt to try....]

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-10-01 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a cell phone. You think the backlight'll help you?

Don't fish out kids with candy though, you sound like a creepy kidnapper -- here.

[He sighs, and checks his screen for Ene -- not there -- before he holds it out for the hand.]
anotheryosuke: (Nobody's turned on at all.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-10-03 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, right! There's an idea.

[The hand vanishes instead as Naoya rummages around, and then a small glow emerges from inside the trunk. A beat, then--]

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have your tablet computer thing with you? I think the backlight'll be better on that one!

[Another beat.]

And can you stop calling me a kidnapper? Someone's gonna get the wrong idea out there!

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-10-05 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
... ...

Don't you have your own? I'm not dropping the name until you get that kid back out here seriously if the police actually had a hotline around here--
anotheryosuke: (A WILD AKAZAWA APPEARS.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-10-08 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm usin' my own but it'd probably be easier if I had two!

[And no hands free to snag the kid, but it's not like he's thinking that far ahead right now.

For one, he can't see past his hand. And so: THUMP.]

... Ow. Would you quit freaking out? He climbed in on his own, I didn't do anything! I'm kinda the victim here!

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-10-09 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Keep one hand free. I don't want you losing mine in there, either.

[He startles a little when he hears the thump and leans over, looking wary.]

Yeah, yeah, I'm kidding. Can you find him?
anotheryosuke: (Mochizuki + skirt = why....)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-10-11 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I'm not going to lose a freaking glowing tablet computer in here, it's not that big.

[It's cluttered, but seriously, glowing beacons...!

He sighs and rubs his head a little where he smacked it against the low ceiling.]

Ugh. Don't even joke about that stuff-- Hang on.

[That was definitely a shuffling noise he heard, right? Or was it just bags falling over?]

Shhhh!

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-10-13 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Siiiiiiiiiigh.]

I'm being quiet. I'll lift him up when you get him, okay?
anotheryosuke: (A WILD AKAZAWA APPEARS.)

[personal profile] anotheryosuke 2013-10-15 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[All Shintaro gets for his trouble is another Shhh!, a little more muffled. There's a few shuffling noises, some rustling. A long silence. Then--

THUMPTHUMPthumpthumpTHUMP.]

Ow! Ya didn't have to throw ice cubes at my head!

[The voice, possibly slightly teary and and a bit shrill and very definitely not Naoya's voice, seems to come from very far away.

However--]

Don't be a brat, I didn't throw anything at you. You're the one who kept knocking things over, now get over here before you get both of us buried.

Throw all a' the bags you want, you're too fat to catch me in here!

Hey! That's just uncalled for! Hey...!

[Whatever else Naoya has to say, it's drowned out by what sounds like a small stampede.

...

Are you ready for a small, dark-haired hurricane to suddenly pop out of the trunk in a flurry of limbs and plastic bag, Shintaro? We sure hope so. Watch your head!]

[JFC

He's not sure if he even wants to try to catch that so the first move he makes is to back the hell up and because he's not a masochist and he doesn't want to just watch potential injury hurling straight toward him. He ducks his head, steps to the side, and stares wide-eyed.]


What the---...!?
