( closed ) let it snow, let it snow, let it -- yeti?!

[initiates]

Date & Time: November 27th - December 5th, 3313
Location: Spaceshuttle, Winter Wonderland Exsilium
Characters: All those on the official scouting mission to Exsilium.
Summary: The Transports send down a collection of their own in order to investigate the whys of the sudden drop in radiation on the island, and to locate the Initiative.
Warnings: Please PM the mod account should anything in this log go into graphically violent territory.
Notes: You know the drill! Specify dates and times in subject lines, set up as many scenarios as you like, and for information on if a run-in with Exiles will net your character(s) a chance to talk with or make contact with the Initiative, ask over here!

The satellite imagery AI was able to capture and download onto tablets doesn't speak adequately to the pristine, chill landscape the space ship descends into under cloaking technology. The crystalline landscape is almost beautiful, stark brights and shadows turning the countryside into something soft, alien, and deadly. Winter has arrived, in a way some may be familiar with, and to others, may be entirely new.

The ship is a mile out from the largest identified gathering of heat signatures and power structures, in a city built over part of what once was London, formerly known as Exsilium to the Transports. There is no Eye of London to be found, only a partial tower that stands suspiciously close to where Big Ben once stood. The river Thames remains present, but the built up structures, the identifiers of "modern" Exsilium are all gone, lost and buried underneath the snows if ever they existed.

This is not a friendly landscape, though the people are friendly enough, should you not go out of your way to offend them or display your alien natures.

Find the Initiative. Take stock of the landscape. Report back what you can. Scouts, you are our best hope in understanding this new landscape.

Good luck.

Comments

I've been waiting for this CR for ages!

[Abbey looks up when she hears the "compliment." Oh, it's the little kid that's also on the mission. She's been a little concerned that such a young human child is out here in the wilderness, too, but he seems to have been doing decently thus far. She briefly wonders if he's wandered off from a guardian or something.

And fortunately for him, Abbey isn't the type to get easily offended at comments like his.]

Thank you. Will never be melting.

And here I've made you wait longer. So many apologies!

[icy_heavens]

[It's well that she's yet to say something in regard to his apparent age. Because then there would be some offense taken on his part in spite of his improved mood. He gets incredibly tired of being assumed to be a child.

[And that absolutely was a compliment. If something isn't horrible, then it's good. Surely it all means the same thing.] Not for the foreseeable future, no.

[They're both clearly ace conversationalists here.]

No worries! I'm just happy for some Hitsu CR. *_*

[snowghoul]

[They are the best at conversing!]

Like I am saying, will never be melting. Ever.

[And here it comes...] Why are you coming down to Earth with rest of us?

[icy_heavens]

[... Why is this a question? Oh, he has an idea of why it might be one, but it had better not be the reason.

[A mild frown.] Excuse me?

[snowghoul]

[She doesn't even notice his facial expression.] You are small like baby yak. Where are your parents.

[icy_heavens]

[That brings about an outright scowl, and even a twitch of irritation. Goddamn it, she'd pushed two buttons at once. Nevermind that those two go hand-in-hand all too easily anyway.]

Tch. I am not a child.

[snowghoul]

[She crosses her arms, clearly not convinced.] Looking like young human child to me.
