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

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.

[Covered in snow and then blasted by a heat wave, Elmer is now starting to get dripping wet. He pulls off clumps of melting snow and flings it away, and then shakes his head like he's some sort of shaggy dog drying off.]

Mother Nature's never kept me for very long. The sun will always rise to melt snow! Or an umbrella will. What even was that?

[Okay, the umbrella is staying up because he doesn't want Elmerdogwet on him.]

[He does have to give Elmer a Look though.]
If you want to steal fire from the Gods, you ought to be able to recognize your ill-gotten goods.

[Duh.]

[Chris wat] I didn't realize that fire was stolen in the form of an umbrella. I'm glad to see you smiling, at any rate. It's much better since the last time we spoke.

[He's really not sure how Christopher will react to that. Elmer looks at him, an easy smile on his own face.]

[Good fucking job, Elmer: Christopher's smile doesn't disappear, but displeasure sinks into it.] I'm sure I already told you that I'm not interested in your opinion on my smiles. [And he gives Elmer a petulant look.] Going over things twice bores me. I don't like being bored. It's dull. I don't see at all why Master Huey keeps drawing in dull people. You shouldn't bore me anymore. [The umbrella closes and Christopher turns his back on Elmer. He is done with this conversation.]

[Elmer lets him walk off.] Alright! That's fine. I can just sit back and enjoy it. But there's one other thing--

[And then Elmer hits Chris on the back of the head with a snowball. When he turns around, Elmer's grinning like the sly devil he so totally is, and then turns to run away awkwardly through the snow.]
