(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! ]]

[ More like a weirdo Sylvari, but let's be real, those are aaaall weird. This one, though... Is this one literally a flower? No real matter, though whatever it really was, it didn't give an answer, either! It? Her? Likely a her, judging from a human standard.

Rinth lashes her tail in irritation as she stops a slightly reasonable distance from the hiding flower girl, so not exactly invading personal space, hands planting on her hips.
]

Is everyone here too dumb to speak? First growling, then chirping. Come on! Speak!

[Hey, Sylvari are cool!...Not that she is one...but yes. Selim cautiously peeks out from behind one of her petals, wondering if maybe this stranger's...some form of werewolf. Werecat?

The lack of personal space invasion helps, anyway.]


Um...I'm not sure where the exit is, I just got here myself...
encharrneered: (ehhh > will matter after we begin)

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-06 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can't glow in the dark. So sad. ]

That so? [ Hrmph. Rinth huffs and looks down. Her mood sure isn't going to improve today, now is it? ] Damn it all. Maybe there really isn't one. As if I have the time to play war with a bunch of meat...
gillitine: (when i see the river)

[personal profile] gillitine 2013-11-06 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[So grumpy, Miss Werecat! Selim pokes her head a little farther out though, curiosity winning over her wariness.]

I'm not sure anyone here wants to play war, but...was there something you needed to do, at home?
encharrneered: (wait > to win the honor)

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-08 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing Selim's keeping that to herself. If Rinth even knew what a werecat implied, she might be offended! ]

Probably because it's a stupid war. I have better ones to see to, even if the tech in this one is intriguing. [ Which works as an answer to the girl's question. Now she has one of her own. ] And just what in the Mists do you happen to be, anyhow? You sure ain't no Sylvari.

[Why would she be offended! The werewolves back home were all pretty nice.]

Oh, I'm...I'm a vampire. [It's hard to bring herself to actually say that out loud here, but...!] I've never heard of Sylvari before.
encharrneered: (ehhh > will matter after we begin)

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-09 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ A vampire. She squints at that. ]

Those are bats. Try again. As for Sylvari, they're plant people.
gillitine: (they gaze back at me)

[personal profile] gillitine 2013-11-09 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Bats? Well, I can't turn into a bat or anything, but...I really am a vampire! [A pause.] And a plant. [That's probably hard to believe, isn't it.]
encharrneered: (wait > to win the honor)

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-10 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Right. [ Uh huh. Sure. ] So just what does a vampire plant do? Suck blood through your roots?
gillitine: (i remember you)

[personal profile] gillitine 2013-11-11 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...yes, actually.
encharrneered: (thinking > no explanation)

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-12 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [ Well now Rinth's going to give those little ol' flower feet a wary look. ] In that case, keep those suckers away from me or you'll lose 'em.
gillitine: (coiling waterways)

[personal profile] gillitine 2013-11-13 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...I don't want to hurt you or anything, though... [...Inching away...just a bit...]

[personal profile] encharrneered 2013-11-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then we have an understanding. That's good.

You don't hurt me, I don't hurt you.
