(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! ]]

[Similarly, Noh-Varr would assume that everyone here should know of the Kree- because who doesn't? They are legendary. Sadly, though, it's probably very likely that nobody knows what the hell he is, any more than he knows what the hell the...being he's talking to is either.]

Well, this is technically still Earth space. And it is very characteristic of a typical Earth problem. It would be unusual for there to be a break in these kinds of incidents this close to the planet. Besides, I think they are exceptionally good at including the rest of the universe when it happens.

[He loves you, Earth, but look at all that shit that happened with the Phoenix Force.]

[personal profile] acclimatized 2013-11-06 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ he chuckles shakily. when he told mrs. hudson he needed some time away from the flat, he didn't think that would be an invitation to fight in another war. especially not in one that drafted in teenagers, even if it was beyond their control. ]

John Watson. [ he smiles. ] You sound like you've done this before.
acclimatized: (outside the cafe by the cracker factory.)

[personal profile] acclimatized 2013-11-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think they were impressed when I spilled it over their transporter thing.

[ john shrugs, but returns the gesture with a curt nod. naturally, he has no reason to assume he is being psychoanalyzed and drums his fingers against the porcelain mug, which hasn't been touched by his lips. not before or even after he arrived. ]

I've watched enough Star Trek to know that it's probably a bad idea.

[ that's the excuse john chooses to run with as his eyes drop to the floor and he presses his lips together into a thin, taut line. ]

[ she has to admit, that's certainly one way to get it. belle steps back to let him regain his posture, and blinks. ]

Well - you've got it.

[ so she'll just kind of hang out and wait for whatever it was. she can be helpful! promise. ]

Is there - um. Is there a problem?
lucency: (❝ the iliad.)

[personal profile] lucency 2013-11-06 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she grins at the compliment, and then - not quite hesitantly, but a little slower. because it's a strange idea for her still. ]

My voice, actually. Took a little getting used to.
maipokerface: ([089] What is taking over me?)

[personal profile] maipokerface 2013-11-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment it looks like she might ask more on this whole idea and then she just sighs and waves a hand.]

Whatever works anyhow. What are hey exactly?

[ His first thought is to sugar-coat the situation; but hiding the truth won't do Reim any good, in the long run. Best to get it over with, like pulling off a bandage. ]

I'm afraid so. It's a bad business, and no mistake. The people who brought us here — the "Initiative" — are using time travel to change the past, on purpose to prevail against an overpowering foe, the "United Earth."

[ He pauses, to let that sink in. At this point, Reim should know very well his feelings on such a subject. ]

Things have gone very well, as you can see. The Initiative and their people have all been slaughtered, save for a handful. Still, they cling to the hope that we can change the past and save them. In the meantime, we survive on the Moon, hiding from the United Earth.

[personal profile] hostage 2013-11-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, yeah. There's so many different kinds of people here, you know? I dunno why everybody's in such a hurry to get home, 'cause to me it's like - like once in a lifetime opportunity, yo. I wanna see as much as I can, hear everything about everybody and where they came from and... Yeah. If you ask me, this is the life.

[He pauses for a few seconds, clearly listening closely, before shaking his head.]

Not a bear. I think it's more... something man-sized.

[Quick Usagi, what predators are about that weight? It will be on the quiz.]

They did have a reason for it though.

Do you think it's possible we could convince them to send us back?

[ a whole year.......

there's this sudden fear that falls upon her, not one she can explain even if she has experienced it before. oz had a year of experiences and moving forward without her, and has met and befriended people that she didn't know. she grips her fist together, relieving some tension before looking up. ]
irritating: (✗ -- me me me listen to me)

[personal profile] irritating 2013-11-06 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well shit, nothing on that front either. He really was a pretty serious type then and, as she had so personally discovered, the sort who wasn't afraid to resort to violence either. That combination of traits right there should be enough to ward off any normal person... but then you have Apollo, still standing there interjecting with nonsense whenever she can. He's got her talking (relatively) normal at the moment, but her mind continues to work, wondering where the balance between irritating him to the point of hilarity and irritating him to the point where she ended up decapitated or some shit was. She may not be afraid of dying, but that doesn't mean that she wants to. ]

Yeah? Sounds like a rough bunch. [ With what she's seen of him so far, she can't say that really surprises her. ] That shit's kinda secondary to us. Well, primary to me 'cause I've got too much human in me not to be a brutal bitch, but the purebloods, most of 'em are adventurers and inventors first, warriors second.

[ There's literally only a second of silence before she's blurting out her next thought. ] Hey, d'you ever headbutt people? Bet that shit would fuckin' hurt, y'know, what with your crazy horn shit y'got goin' on there.

[ this is when she stops abruptly and her expression changes to one of confidence. with her hands on her hips she speak speaks firmly, almost with a scoff at how serious he's making this sound. ]

But he's still the same right?

[ no matter how long it has been, alice has been with oz enough to be confident of this. he's still that same idiot she met back in the abyss, and even as time passes and he changes, he's still oz. he's just oz moving forward. and now that she's here too she can move forward with him in this place. ]

Hah! I don't care how long he's been in this place, it just means that I, Mistress Alice, will have to make him remember his place as my man-servant!

[He looks down at her, annoyed at first, like he can't understand how even in the face of something like this she can still say such ridiculous things. But her words are true, and are exactly what he's sure Oz will want to hear. That despite everything, nothing has changed between any of them, and those few dreamlike moments that they all had shared can continue.

A small smile cracks the corners of his lips, and he reaches out to pat her head as he continues hurrying them down another hall.]


Mm. He's still the same.
retraced: (no reply)

[personal profile] retraced 2013-11-06 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[But then he drops his arm back to his side and scowls again.]

When he returns, you're not allowed to hit him or kick him or be violent at all. He'll probably be tired.

[OPTION A: So, uh. While exploring new places and meeting new people is always fun, getting dragged to the moon in order to fight someone else's war is a little weird, even by her standards. Combine the fact that she left most of her team at home with all the creepy noises she keeps hearing, and Leaf is officially one unhappy camper. As it is, though, she's going to be trying not to get too down about that while peering out through one of the windows at the Observatory. Should you pass by her and her... fairly intimidating companion, you'll most likely hear her say:]

Hey, Charizard... I don't see Kanto down there.

[Yeah. We're not in fake Japan anymore, kids.

OPTION B: Eventually, she's going to get tired of squinting out the window and will chose to explore instead. Should you run across her and Charizard, she's definitely going to be stopping you via shouting at you like you're totally deaf or something.]


Hey, you! [WILL YOU MAKE EYE CONTACT???] I need to ask you a question!

[OPTION C: WE'RE FREESTYLING IT UP IN HERE. If there's any other way you want to bump into her, just go for it.]

Well that's one thing, then. ( Prowl remaining Prowl means the universe can't have been through too much of an upset as far as Rodimus is concerned. )

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one wanted him to get the new version of the Tyrest Accord. He probably didn't want to have to enforce it either. ( The image of Magnus' headless body lying on the floor comes back to him, and Rodimus shoves that image down super quick. ) Hang on - why are you trying to lecture me about laws?

Once or twice, [ she admits with a shrug. she's not been here too terribly long on her own; going on four months, is it? maybe? the moon can really mess up one's sense of timing. ] It's my first time actually helping like this, but really, it seems like these things are scheduled.

[Koujaku's thinking over things very carefully, actually his face looking more serious than usual. When he hears a voice, a female voice shouting, his serious face turns into one that's much more friendly. He turns around seeing a young woman and a... very impressive dragon allmate? The little bird on his shoulder tries to puff up to make itself look bigger.]

It'd be an honor to help a young woman such as yourself out, but I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask because I'm new to this place myself.

( Doctor Watson? Like Joan? It sparks a little smile, and Donny takes a breath before offering his hand to shake. ) It's v-very nice to meet you. I'm uh-- I'm Donny? I um, I'm helping organise the first aid kits and b-blood bank and stuff.

( At least, he's trying to organize ideas, articulate them, but thoughts together and figure out the ways to action them, even if he isn't good at the... leading part. )

Um, any help w-would be amazing. ( A moment, reminding himself to breathe, because the last thing they need is for him to be offputting and stupid around someone who might want to help. ) We all uh, k-kinda got thrown in the d-deep end, here.

( The moon, and all. )
coiffeur: (beni ❚ for you ok!)

[A: OPEN TO FEMALE CHARACTERS:

Koujaku will approach them, a friendly smile and polite demeanor to him. He looks relatively calm and control considering the massive info dump and where he is. The little bird on his shoulder looks rather friendly, too. His voice sounds reassuring and friendly.]


Miss, if you don't mind, I'd like to borrow a few minutes of your time. I'm sure in your heart you'd find kindness to help a stranger to this place.

[B: OPEN TO EVERYONE ELSE:

Koujaku's watching the others, standing in a corner by himself. It's not every day you see a man wearing a bright, lavish fancy kimono standing on the moon. He looks rather collected for what's just happened, but then his eyes narrow and he speaks.]


Beni! [A little bird flies off his shoulder and is now heading straight towards your character, maybe even crashing into them.]

[C: OPEN TO ALL

Got another idea? Go for it!]

[ tell that to her when she sees all much taller oz is!

but she doesn't say anything, enjoying what seems to be the praise given to her as she continues to walk down the hall. she makes a mental note that she will have to, again, make pat her more because she likes it so much. ]

I can't blame you. It's... gotta be interesting, I'm not one to knock trying out something new. [ Especially if you're comfortable with the whole "talking a lot" thing. ] ... Probably the people missing their families. Anyone will be in a hurry if they've got something else they should be doing.
