(no subject)

Date: November 1st
Location: The Observatory.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports arrive and are shuffled into the Observatory after their initial briefings. The zombie plot will not spill over into this area, this area is safe and unaffected! To face zombies, characters must leave the area, and please move to the event log with those threads.
Warnings: None.

Your arrival here has been very unceremonious. One second you were somewhere else, and now, very suddenly, your feet hit the glowing white of the Transporter pad, and you're here. You aren't alone, either. There's a crowd of others around you, each seeming just as bewildered, angry, or confused as you might feel. At the head of the group is a woman in purple robes, solemn and taciturn. She hurries over a quick overview of your intended purpose here, and gives direct answers when asked for them, but to most things she simply shows you how to access the tablet you've just been given, or tells you that the DITR's greeters will explain everything. On the tablet, you can find the history of this place and a record of what your new cohorts have experienced — although it won't have Network access for another 8 hours. Someone stands on hand to give you a weapon, and though the armory is now greatly reduced, you should be able to find something to suit you.

You're shepherded down a walkway tunnel and into the Observatory, where you will find screens mounted on three sides of the wide room. It's night outside the great wide windows, and the lunar landscape isn't much to look at right now; the only lighting comes from dull red emergency lights, but there are… noises. Listen carefully. Over the voices of your fellow Transports, now and then you might catch the sound of a scrape, or a low and muffled cry. It doesn't sound human. Are there animals up here?

You're free to explore the base, visit and use any of the VR rooms, or discover your new room and roommates, but try not to step out of any airlocks if oxygen is a requirement for your system.

Welcome to the moon base, and to the remains of Exsilium.

[[ ooc; As a note for players of current characters: please keep your root comments confined to the various groups and organizations that set up root comments to greet new characters! We highly encourage tagging around here, but since it's a log meant for new characters specifically, we ask that they be the ones to set up root threads to the entry. Thank you, and happy playing! ]]

[He's maybe not completely relaxed, but his ears flick and his tail starts to wag a little. Progress, that's all Lloyd needs.]

Looks like you're making a new friend already, Noishe.

[Then, to Feferi:]

Thanks. He just needs to warm up to you, that's all.

[Buried behind ten years of careful masks, her heart quickens its pace, as if to make up for her stationary feet. It manifests as the slightest tightness around her mouth.]

What does he look like?
fintastic: (i love my fishes)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-11-04 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up with a smile. ]

It's okay, I understand. Animals can't always understand things the way we can! What is he, anyway?
mallarkey: (well that would be unethical)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-04 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Doug Rich.

[ He shakes Wes's hand, looking the man over in turn. ]

I'm gonna guess you were also doing something completely normal before you suddenly ended up here?
mallarkey: maybe I should become an action transvestite comedian instead (maybe I should stop lying)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ He does, sort of, but not in a way he feels like he should advertize so he shakes his head. ]

I know how to run. [ Then, grudgingly: ] And I can fire a gun when I have one.
retraced: (and you made me disappear)

[personal profile] retraced 2013-11-04 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hearing noises?

[He frowns down at her.]

Did you hit your head on something?
hyanaimne: Until then. (Tenna' san'.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-04 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[he'll miss the way her expression softens, just a little. Ugh her weakness for kids is horrible]

One would think, yes, but it is also a lot to take in, yes? You may call me Tempest.
overclocking: (backwards glance)

[ Chrono is actually making his hasty way out of the observatory when he passes Mai (an Exorcist has no business sitting around in the safe zone when there are beasts to be dealt with, after all), but her question—tone—pausees him in his tracks, looking up. It takes a moment or two to register that the emergency lights are on.

Ah.

They've brought new people in, even now. ]


We're being attacked.

[ Short and sweet is probably the best option, in a situation like this. ]
bunnivore: (♚ they think i can't hear them talk)

[ 'if you don't know him, then forget it'.

this is the first thing that goes through alice's mind but for some miraculous reason she does not actually say them out loud. god knows she really wants to but right now, as much as she did not want to admit it, she needed help. ]


Uh, he has blond hair, green eyes, and he looks stupidly happy most of all the time. [ that idiot. she looks a bit angry, but it is only because she's worried about him. ] And he's always running off without my permission.

Tempest like the wilds of a storm.

[he contemplates it, wiping the crumbs from the corners of his lips.]

Lady Tempest, I'm called Loki of Asgard, well-met and all other well extended and appropriate pleasantries.

[then he licks his thumb.]
hyanaimne: Rest here. (Esta sinome.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-04 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Quite like that, yes.

[it's said in a way in which she's letting him in on some sort of joke, that's just between them, but only she knows the punchline]

Well met, Loki.
bunnivore: (♚ angrily eating feelings)

[personal profile] bunnivore 2013-11-04 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[ she's not stupid! good going gilbert, way to make her mad again. she scowls at him before continuing to explain. ]

It sounded weird. [ like moaning or something, who knows. maybe they're just like pigs or cows or something... anything that is meat is good with her. ] Do they keep animals around here?

A pretty lie that they tell us to appease our curiosity. The truth is far grander.

[and with that, he looks smugly satisfied.]
badnewsboy: ⎨ ʜᴀɴs ⎬ (Holds the longest stand)

[personal profile] badnewsboy 2013-11-04 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
We were speaking of the United Earth when I required baked goods.

You were looking of vague distaste.

[he's shoving the latter half of the cookie in his mouth, munching and half talking with his mouth full.]
hyanaimne: Watch. (Tira.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-04 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, our enemies. They are the reason we are up here now - bombed Exsilium, the city we were living in.
badnewsboy: ⎨ ʜᴀɴs ⎬ (Be ready and be brave)

[personal profile] badnewsboy 2013-11-04 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds rather extreme. I take it their efforts left the city, erm, uninhabitable.

[there's a curiosity in his voice that comes as he mulls over the words.]
hyanaimne: Elsewhere. (Nestirtye.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Quite. My understanding is that the air down there is poisonous due to their efforts.
retraced: (shocku anime style)

[personal profile] retraced 2013-11-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? What are you talking a--

[But just then, it hits him. The sound hadn't exactly faded into background noise, but he hasn't noticed it as much as before she showed up. Stop distracting him, Alice.]

Z-zombies--?!
fintastic: (keen)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-11-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay! If you say so! [ Aww, he looks so proud of himself. She'll just let him think he got one over on her because's cute. ] Who should I thank for this enlightening information?
reunites: (when up in the booth;)

[personal profile] reunites 2013-11-04 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's, uh-- [Oh, geez, what's the word? He learned this word, he knows it.] It's a proto... something. Protozoan! That's it. Right, Noishe?

[Noishe whines again, but his tail wags a bit more.]

Yeah, protozoan. But, I mean, I thought he was a dog for a while, so I usually just call him that.

[It's easier to remember.]

He's smart, though. He understands what's happening and everything.

[Well, as much as anyone can, anyway.]

( Rodimus hasn't gotten used to the change in size yet, either. It's one thing when in his alt-mod or using his holoform because that was kind of the point - smaller, blend in, and so on and so forth. Like this, though? Nope, still not used to it. Never going to get used to it. Probably going to complain about it when given the opportunity.

But here's the thing - and Rodimus should really have expected it after Luna-1 - he just didn't ever think a Decepticon would show up. There's a long list of 'bots he wants to see here, and a few he wouldn't know what to say to if they did show up. But a Decepticon? Never even crossed his mind. Which is why he has to do a double take when he catches a glimpse of a familiar shape and color - just as short as he is. It takes another moment after that to recognize who it was, and then he just groans. )


Oh come on.

( Anyone but Swindle. Anyone but Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, probably Starscream, quite possibly Scorponok, and Swindle. )

Mind reading, or a master of human anatomy? Our audience that's waiting with baited breath may never know the answer.

[Peter does note the worried glance over his shoulder and the pocketing of the cookies. It tells him that this guy is someone who's had reason to worry about stealing cookies before.

Which makes him wonder.]


Something up?
unmasking: (no more up to date pop culture)

[personal profile] unmasking 2013-11-04 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Great. Great, I'm on the moon and it's so cool and I might ... freeze to death.

[Because of a bad decision. A really bad decision. Peter kind of wants to smack himself in the face.]

Well, maybe I'm more resilient than I think.

[At least he knows that part is true. Mostly.]

[ excuse you, gilbert. with that kind of reaction alice simply stares at him. it isn't exactly one of confusion but she's pretty confused right now. she furrows her brow as she asks: ]

What's a zombie?

[ a beat.

here comes the forbidden question. ]


Can I eat it?
mynameonyourpanties: (Don't do it man)

[Travis, Wes does have a point.]

Man, when we get home I'm tellin' Dr. Ryan all about this.
