(no subject)

Date: December 1st
Location: The Observatory.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports arrive and are shuffled into the Observatory after their initial briefings.
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. 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; they show multiple variations of satellite images, focused on... somewhere snowy. It's difficult to say more than that, but those that record heat readings seem to suggest there are people there, where ever "there" is. It's night outside the great wide windows, and the lunar landscape isn't much to look at right now. But, hey, at least all the lights are on, right? No more creepy red emergency lighting upon arrival — not that you'd know anything about that.

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! ]]

( very sharp. )

That's not true. ( the answer comes quick and easy ) There are a lot of people, and plenty come and go. It was only a day for me, but a friend of mine left for months once.

"An empire?"

Or a kingdom, just as easily, but he thinks of that word first after a particular conversation with Gamora. Besides, 'space empire' has a cooler ring to it than 'space kingdom.'

Hey, that's okay! I ain't one for pryin' lil' lady.

I just hope it works out okay. I ain't too fond of unhappy endings.

[See he's so nice how could anyone possibly suspect him of trickery.]

...You see, a while ago, Kusanagi-san did try not to talk.

For an entire week, he communicated in nothing by gestures and sign language. But words, words they just want to be heard! These words repressed inside of him, wanting to come out, began to eat him up! They did so much damage...

[ dramatic faraway look... ] He was bedridden for three entire days...

Aw, ain't that nice of ya', but not to worry - I'm fairly handy at avoidin' trouble.

How about you drop all the formalities though, huh? Just Gin'll do. I ain't one for bein' so impersonal.

"The Empire," he confirms. Karkat has rather complicated feelings regarding the Alternian Empire and the enforced caste system of the hemospectrum -- on one hand, he harbors a deep, furious resentment for it, recognizing it as unfair, oppressive and all around pretty shitty. He would have been executed on sight if anyone knew what he was -- how could he not resent it?

On the other, though, he really, really wishes he could belong to it. He wanted so badly to be a good troll, even if being a good troll meant being an objectively awful person.

Not that he has any intent of telling Oz about this.

"Trolls weren't what you'd call a friendly race."

[ No real reason! ]

Whoooa, six months?! That's a really long time! [ He looks amazed! Really amazed! ] In this place?

[ he listens intently and... believes him. ]

Whoa... I didn't know that could happen! I'm glad Kusanagi-san is okay now.

[ nod, nod.

then, a soft gasp!!]


Totsuka-san! We should try to get Mikoto-san to say more things too, I don't want that to happen to him!

We don't exactly got the resources for anything too telling, y'know. Hold on...

[He tucks the leaflets under his arm and then shoves the plate into Eren's hand-] Hold this. [-then removes his tablet from inside of his jacket and starts tapping away, scrolling and navigating, yadda yadda.

Eventually he brings up the police force's page and holds the screen in front of Eren, where Gin's name is listed.
]

See that? Gin Ichimaru, that's me. It's a little messy at the minute but we do our best to look as official an' held together as we can.

[That response surprises her, because it's just - a thing, she's never really thought about the Titans much, but she feels guilty for making Koriand'r look so disappointed.

So she smiles, bright and reassuring.]


Of course, we don't have to be on the same team to be friends.

[Starfire's always seemed larger than life, the same way a lot of the more famous and powerful superheroes do, so Steph might be just a tiny bit awed and intimidated, but that won't stop her from trying to be as friendly as possible.]

"Well, that's what makes me such a good choice for the welcoming committee."

After all, being mischievous is a fun hobby of his, so he has no reason not to be cheerful about it.

"Smiling helps, y'know. Maybe you oughta try it sometime." And then a bit of a teasing snicker.

((ooc: WHOOPS TOTALLY DROPPED THE BALL the details of what the leaflet says can be found here! forgot to link in the previous comment))

[ where is a responsible adult when we need one!!

...but he was believed and, well. ]


Ah... That's right. King is in danger, isn't he.

[ the question is: does Yata have the courage to go up to the Mikoto to ask him to speak more...? ]

[personal profile] battering 2013-12-08 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
How can you say that so calmly?!

[ he was planning on making totsuka do it. ]
skilful: (41)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-08 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ good plan, actually. ]

I've already tried, but...

[ way to be depressing, totsuka. ]

... Yeah. He really is, isn't he. [ a little sadly, because he always wants to be there for mikoto-san :( ]
skilful: (32)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-08 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he puts one hand on Yata's shoulder. ]

That's why I'm counting on you, Yata. Before that happens...

[personal profile] battering 2013-12-08 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh, totsuka-san is counting on him... he could at least try too, right? for mikoto-san! yeah! GET PUMPED. ]

I'll do my best, Totsuka-san! Keep believing in me!
