( 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.

I'm rather certain I look like that whenever I'm thinking about anything.
velveteened: (} though i admire them)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think I know how you look better than you do.

( unless you pointedly think in front of mirrors! )

[ Oz only has himself to blame for this one. ]

Gee, Oz, I can't believe you really spend so much time admiring my good looks to know something like that.
velveteened: (} just the gil i know)

( that actually makes him burst out laughing, surprised maybe. )

It's because of how often you fall asleep on the couch! Do you know how many times I've had to pull Li Jun away before he can jump on you?
commentboxtroll: (i meant to do that)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-10-02 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Like a cat would wake me up...

[ wait. Caesar looks up from his faceplanting into the mattress again. ]

Li Jun was a he?
velveteened: (} wh...at.....)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-02 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Is a he.

( says it mildly, looking at caesar quizzically )

You never noticed?
commentboxtroll: (most accurate all-purpose expression)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-10-02 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The name sounded--

[ Wait. ]

Is? You didn't...
velveteened: (} noticing)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-02 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Lenalee named him! I assumed it's a boy name in her language.

( caesar there's literally no cat in this room why are you even asking )

Didn't what?
commentboxtroll: (the wise man flatters the fool)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-10-03 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ you never know. ]

Nothing. [ If he wakes up tomorrow to find a cat lurking around! ] But no, I didn't. I thought it was a girl's name.
velveteened: (} bright lights)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-03 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
( that'll be lenalee's fault! )

Well, then it's lucky he likes you anyway.

Cats will like anyone who stays still long enough to sleep on.

Ah, maybe that's why none of them like Gil.
commentboxtroll: (there is no benefit to a long war)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-10-05 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ Oh, yeah, that guy. He has a name. Right. ]

Maybe. He's kind of high strung...
velveteened: (} under your spell)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-05 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
He's always been like that, as long as I've known him. Even about cats!

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-10-05 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh well. I guess he's gotten away from those for now, then.

[ Flopping back down on he mattress again, this time for the last time (he hopes). ]
