(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 stares at her for a moment.] Ah . . . it's perfect . . .

[And then he drags her to sit down with him. Right there.] Let's start right away!

[Seriously but who carries that kind of thing in their pockets

(awesome people is who)]

Good god, let's hope, right?. [ yeah, she goes for another cookie. not one of the black ones. this isn't a funeral. ] The closest thing to a weapon I've ever held in my life is a scalpel, and somehow I don't think that's gonna get me by.

[ regardless of what they'd said about weapons in the transport room. julia rolls her eyes. though, honestly, it wouldn't be good to underestimate her with an empty liquor bottle. one of the heavy ones. ]

Is it that bad out there?
mallarkey: (if I look cute they have to trust me)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-23 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Something of an unsettling notion, somehow. He mostly wonders why they're stuck up here if this time travel stuff is really all on the "up and up." ]

It could be. Maybe it is and we don't know it yet. All of this technology's way beyond anything I know, I feel like we might as well all be stuck in the dark.

[ His nose wrinkles slightly, looking down at the Earth, then over at Peter. ]

I'll live, I'm not usually the type of person that gets homesick.

[ He steps back from the window slightly. ]

Even I had a choice in the matter. I mean it's not exactly "come and go as you please" up here, is it? [ Or is it? ] Probably my only chance to ever be in space anyway.
mallarkey: (malloysplainin')

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-23 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely... definitely. Strategy is one of those things that separates man from the wilderness, uh -- well, in a way. They can strategize but we can do it better.

[ Supposedly. One hopes, but. ]

You must be a chess fan, then.

[ He slides in next to Reim on the bench, sitting close. ]

Good. Yes, good.

[ Now that Reim has been seen to, and sat down, and given tea and sweets, now he can ask: ]

You mentioned something about a "commotion" at Pandora. What happened? Did the Baskervilles turn up?
unmasking: (and go to SPIDER-WORK)

[personal profile] unmasking 2013-11-23 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Peter thinks about that for a moment and shakes his head. There's no reason to be stuck in the dark if they want them to help, so he has every intention of looking into that tech.]

They might explain it to you, if you really need to. I'm gonna ask, anyway. Better than sitting and wondering.
mallarkey: (breaking bad series finale)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-23 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Probably will. Sorry to-- I shouldn't be bothering you with all this crap, we both just got here.

[ With a sigh. He should give this kid a break. ]

Anyway -- take it easy, Pete, okay?

[personal profile] nosebleeds 2013-11-23 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You sure? I don't usually let accidents go like that.

[or does he? who knows.]

Well - nice meeting you. See you around?

Jericho. [a nod. and a tiny wave] Genesis. 'Sup.
fintastic: (i'm gonna get naked and take a shower)

[personal profile] fintastic 2013-11-23 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully! That is what we are working towards. Though they might not be around anymore if we fix the island too much...
tergiversant: (Trolling - R - i salute you captain moro)

[personal profile] tergiversant 2013-11-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's my suspicion. [Reim pinches the strange cup a time again before finally taking a sip. It... was actually somewhat surprising to find passable tea in such a fantastic setting.]

I cannot be certain. I'd barely dressed when .. this happened.

[let's take a moment to complement a pair of Bible-themed names standing here out of strange circumstance.

or not bc TV-Y7 and also OCs.

instead, Jericho's squinting about the name for another reason.

soon:]
Is that a code name or a real name?
unmasking: (Default)

[personal profile] unmasking 2013-11-24 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, see you later.

[Taking the hint, he raises a hand to wave before he heads off. There are cookies to be had.]
cesar: (& / son)

[personal profile] cesar 2013-11-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cesare watches him with curiosity, perhaps more so at the stumbling. ]

Chest? How can one be a fan of it? [ Is this some dirty joke or something. ]
cesar: (& / hat)

[personal profile] cesar 2013-11-24 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's also the technology that he can't even begin to understand but even then they still require doctors. It's easier, seeing her strange dress, to assume they are all from about the same point in time in the future. ]

Bad enough. The Initiative tends to be considerate when sending one on missions.

If I may ask what weapon you chose for yourself?
mallarkey: (smalltalk is boring anyway)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2013-11-24 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ He tilts his head. That wasn't the answer he expected. ]

Chess. It's a game... strategy game, each side gets a few pieces like a king, a queen, bishops, pawns and the point's to move across the board so you can capture the other side's king. [ He pauses, knowing he's not really explaining it well. ] ... Trust me, it's more interesting than it sounds. If you want I can show you sometime.

Absolutely. [ a nod, before she gives him a waving gesture, winding up waving more of the candy than her hand. but. the thought counts. ]
reunites: (and the band leaves the stage;)

[Lloyd watches him for a second, and then glances back at Owl. He feels like he might have said something wrong, but he's not sure what or why.]

Monsters make Noishe nervous, that's all. [To be more specific about it. He's not sure what "no longer a monster" means, but it doesn't seem to make a difference to Noishe. Lloyd rubs Noishe's head and smiles.] He'll be okay, though. He just has to warm up to him.
reunites: (put those hours in,look at what you get;)

[personal profile] reunites 2013-11-24 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, let's go then! That way I know I won't get lost when I try to find it later.
maddeninghatter: (lazy)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-11-24 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
That's good.

[ He brings one leg up on the bench and sprawls sideways, nearly leaning on Reim (though he's careful not to, who knows what part of the poor man is still in bandages?) ]

That you were dressed, I mean. Though if anybody could face down the Baskervilles in their striped pajamas, it would be yoooou~♥

How comforting. [ she rolls her eyes. it's not comforting at all.

but julia reaches for a chain around her neck and offers up an explanation with no trouble at all.
]

I mean, they said I could pick something on me, so why not. [ there's a beaded pendant on the end of that chain, and she seems absolutely giddy about it. ] Are you familiar with hypnotism?

[high fiving a million angels]

[derpa derp insert pause to read the question]

Code name, for sure. I'm a superhero. [yeah! Also his real name is just silly.] You need any help, you know who to call.
eyecontact: (didn't expect that)

[personal profile] eyecontact 2013-11-24 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[sq uint...really?]

Help with what?
