(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! ]]

Oh, I wouldn't want you to worry about me. At the very least I'm sure I'll have water, right?

What's your name?

Naw. I'm the one who's sorry for trippin' on your foot.

[doip]

Can I make it up for you somehow?

Once you get past the basics I'm not sure anyone understands the rest of it, so time travel's a reasonable summing up.

[ no no please no hackles, she shakes her head and smiles, a little hopefully and a little bit in attempted reassurance. ]

I know it's a strange concept, but it happens occasionally. Someone goes home and returns without remembering their past stay. It's something to do with the machinery.

[ A pause, because she's not entirely sure how to reassure him that it's all right. ]

I thought you should be prepared, in case others recognized you. And it is - good to see you again.

Jericho

[he's relieved, too, losing a little of that shy tension in his shoulders as he shows the answer.]
juneshero: (I decided to open a window that was shut)

[personal profile] juneshero 2013-11-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, we all have to stick together, right?

[wait, what]

... Huh?

[what what? Whoa what?! It must have been comical to watch Yosuke at this point, from normal, to bright red and then back down to something a little more normal but still incredibly sheepish. Okay, maybe he did walk straight into that joke]

Uh, yeah, sure? [one hand reaches up to fiddle with his headphones for a moment before he winks to the girl] If you don't mind putting up with me. Name's Yosuke Hanamura.

[and Yosuke holds out a hand to Zessica] Nice to meet you.
juneshero: (Despite my hesitation)

/angrily casts sukukaja

[personal profile] juneshero 2013-11-22 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[so Yosuke's expression? Totally horrified right now. Eyes wide and kinda pale but at least his mouth didn't drop open. Hey, he didn't actually... So he kinda sorta maybe hadn't been paying attention to the debriefing thing or whatever explanation the Initiative were giving them but uh... Yeah.

Still, he recognizes when he's fucked up and he also knows when someone gives an out of an awkward situation]


Y-Yeah. Uh... I just got here. [a sheepish laugh] Maybe I should've paid more attention to the introduction but it's a lot to take in. Never was that good at paying attention in class so uh... whoops?

So what about you? ... I mean, how long have you been here?
reunites: (if I could see my potential;)

[personal profile] reunites 2013-11-22 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Like a monster?

[Lloyd says the word casually, but Noishe immediately wilts. He whines, and his big ears cant back slightly.

Owl doesn't seem threatening, but there's no way he's just a bird.]
reunites: (and the band leaves the stage;)

[personal profile] reunites 2013-11-22 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe for a little while. I dunno if I can sit in one place after everything that's happened.
fraternize: (everything's fine in the morning)

[personal profile] fraternize 2013-11-22 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[a monster.

oswald can't argue it, but for a moment all he can do is stare at lloyd, before looking at noishe and cracking something close to a soothing smile.]


...he's certainly no pet, but he's no longer just a monster, either.

[and owl seems like he understands everything they're saying (he does, understanding human speech isn't hard), feathers ruffling before he shakes them and tiny black particles are shaken off.]

Noishe will be fine with him and Iris... [pausing, before:] Iris is a normal bird, if it helps.
zessica: <user name=facelickings> (Happy ➾ Sweet)

[personal profile] zessica 2013-11-22 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Like a bird flying straight into a sliding glass door. Zessica chuckles and takes his hand in her own, giving it a solid shake. It's quickly accompanied by a wink of her own and another smile.]

I'm sure it won't be so bad. You're pretty cute, after all. [She drops her hand and leans against the wall.] See? You've got me calmed down already.

Zessica Wong. Nice to meet you, too.
fintastic: (where the people are)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-11-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's up to you! I am just here to help in any way possible.
lucency: (❝ ᴀɴᴛɪɢᴏɴᴇ.)

[personal profile] lucency 2013-11-22 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
It was an accident. [ she shakes her head with a tiny, silent laugh. ] You're free to go.
inhumanity: (Passiflora alata)

[personal profile] inhumanity 2013-11-22 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks shocked by this information.] Then we are their guests and ought to behave appropriately. Do you have a gift for them?

[personal profile] dayplanners 2013-11-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Abruptly, she stops moving. Oh...] You're right...

[After a moment's consideration, she turns around to fully face him, pulling what looks like a very ordinary day planner out of the front pocket of her overalls as she does so. After extracting one (1) small sheet of red paper and one (1) small pair of craft scissors from it, she puts it away and holds up the two new items.]

Origami! We'll make origami rabbits!

Power? They mentioned a weapon.

[ wait. ]

Is that your schtick? You turn invisible? Jesus Christ, I have walked into a comic book.

So far, it hasn't been a dull arrival for anybody in the last few months, but you're certainly very lucky! As long as you stay here, you should be fine.
cesar: (+ / captain)

[personal profile] cesar 2013-11-22 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, a dottore. You will prove useful.

[ He seems to brighten up at the idea, even if he shakes his head at her offer. Doctors are good people to make allies of. ]

Perhaps you will not need to see the battlefield.
tergiversant: (A matter of astonishing interest)

1/2

[Barma would not have had the Dodo all of this time and neglected to perfect the delicate negotiations of interactions. By the time Break returns, the cookie is gone, though crumbs cling to Reim's glove as faint tattle tale. The cup, however, is the tricky part. It's taken by his own hand as Reim reaches, a copy of it made, becoming part of the illusion.

Barma, himself, impassively sips at the tea a few steps away.

He knew they were close, not just from his years attending Sheryl as her vallet. But the subtle changed in Reim's tones as he gave report, gentle notes of fretting or fondness in the midst of a long rest note of emotion otherwise. The impressive thing to Barma, was to see for his own eyes, how much it went both ways.

He had to suppose the Hatter was not entirely rubbish.]

[personal profile] tergiversant 2013-11-22 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[As it were, Reim spends more time examining the curious material the tea came in than enjoying the tea itself. A spongy cup? Why would one even exist? He pushes his glasses up his nose, almost as if mustering himself up for the first sip.]

I'm fine, you know. [A lie, his tone is quieter as he amends it.] Better, at least.
tergiversant: (A matter of astonishing interest)

[personal profile] tergiversant 2013-11-22 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Less information than he'd hoped, but of interest none the less. There was something ... rather engaging rather than infuriating about how difficult it was to read this man.

Instead, he takes a cookie, one offered by Break under false intentions earlier, and holds it aloft to the enormous form of the Dodo.]


The name is unfamiliar to mineself.
tergiversant: (Trolling - Too forward)

[personal profile] tergiversant 2013-11-22 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
A few... but. It's like a world away, sometimes.
dayplanners: (pic#6853632)

[personal profile] dayplanners 2013-11-22 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah! They're just different. We probably look really ugly to them, too!

Aaaaahh, do you think I'll get to see some of them soon?!
