(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! ]]

... you first. [ He's watching oh-so-closely, as if he could spot some more funny business!! ]

Annie pauses for the briefest of moments before turning to face who had addressed her.

She might have to find a place less public so she could figure out this 'tablet' they had given her, reverently, like it held all the answers in the world. She could learn much more by herself than she could here, being pelted socially by whoever decided to take upon the mantle of 'welcoming the hapless newcomers.'

She turns to face another girl, perhaps her own age (perhaps older), her own height as well. Annie doesn't look particularly excited to see her, but that's true of everyone for Annie.

"Hello," she replies in a dull tone.

Fine, fine. [No way he's very serious right now!! He sticks out a hand.]

I'm Kano. You?

[ She sniffs, wipes her tears and looks away. Having someone who wasn't even from her world call her "Your Majesty" wasn't right. ]

You are forgiven. Rise. [ beat ] My name is Kougyoku. Please use it.

[ She reads it over for a few seconds, then crumbles it and puts it in her Sylladex. ]

Where did you get these? I think you picked up the wrong fliers.

Yata. [ Four-letter-name friends unite.

Shaking hands is lame though so he doesn't do that, instead he reaches over and closes Kano's hand into a fist for him so they could fist-bump. YEAH. ]

"Heh. Sounds like someone I know." A few people, perhaps. "Being cooped up in a base on the moon might be more their style."

[He straightens up, the smirk from earlier becoming a genuine smile.]

Ah, I already knew that. But it's still nice to meet you again, Kougyoku.
duplicitoussight: (Filling-in)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
They gave you a weapon, didn't they?

[Kate's life sounds way too complicated. Sounds like she needs a break with a Kit-Kat(e).]

Then you'll settle in just fine. We're a good group when we're not arguing.
duplicitoussight: (Head)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-09 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ehh~ What a mean guy. [But it might be better to come out straight with the facts (well, as straight as that flier was, anyway) than to throw cookies at them and call it a day.] I'm glad that I'm not one of your victims.

[Aww yeah. That's actually a lot cooler. As a gang member he totally approves of this method of greeting and he fist-bumps with vigor. COOL.]

Yata... that's pretty easy to remember, got it, got it. You enjoying the view, Yata?

Annie had expected as much. If the police force themselves were as corrupt and rotten as they were said to be (they were), the people they were supposed to be enforcing had to be just as terrible. She had become callous to it as she had to so many other things. Because the higher-ups of the Military Police shirked all of their duties to the younger cadets, they were forced to bear the brunt of it all. Within her first week she had investigated, with other new policemen, thefts, threats, murders, among other things. Not to say such things didn't happen outside of Wall Sina; she had seen men beat one another to near-death over a loaf of bread when times were at their worst after Maria's fall. It wouldn't be any different here, amongst these people, or down on the planet, either. Strife was too deep into the structure of it all to consider any one place better than another — it just seemed that way when one usually faced a far more straight-forward threat to humanity.

She thinks, as she watches Eren's consternated expression, that if, for whatever reason, he had ended up in the Military Police, he wouldn't have lasted a week before exploding.

Her expression is somewhat blank at his question; in the last few weeks, no one had bothered asking her opinion (understandable, considering how closed-off she had been). She has to adjust to people like Eren actually asking, actually possibly caring.

"What I'm told," she replies after a moment's thought and consideration. She crosses her arms, looking out into the crowd of Transports, old and new. "From what I've heard, helping them win their war is going to be the fastest way back home." Because that would be the only thing that drove her. The people of this world and their struggles against the United Earth was as distant to her as a story being told of the same. But those same people were the ones keeping her here for their purpose, so she would have to play the part of the pawn, despite her qualms.

Now that confused her. She didn't have a clue who this Tenou person was, or why everyone would've come over, or...

"...wait, we're in high school?"

[personal profile] moonlitlove 2013-12-09 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Um...sure. I will.

They'd better turn out okay!

[ "Again?" It takes a moment to process, but she gasps when she realizes it. ]

No way... Another one?

Don't fret too much kid, I pick-an'-choose. Usually the ones who don't stand a ghost of a chance of not fallin' for it.

[That gets him to laugh.]

What's with that reaction? Having a surprise friend isn't that bad, is it?

Different worlds, different races, both monstrious and otherwise.

If we compared how any magic you might have works with how mine works, it'd probably be totally different as well. Never mind that the stuff I use the most is my magical items, that don't entirely use my own power... And a lot of worlds that do have magic don't do that.

Well, he might think that of himself. Annie finds the cheeriness irritating, especially considering she had been rudely and brutally ripped from her own dimension to serve in a war she neither understood nor cared about. Not to mention she was on the moon, in a confined space, with a bunch of strangers.

No, she had absolutely nothing to smile about, so she merely replies to his teasing with a dead-eyed stare. A sorry excuse for a cookie, a dreadfully-worded leaflet, and this winning personality. Wonderful.

She is silent for a moment before she addresses him with a chilly, "Do you have anything of use to tell me, as a welcomer, or are you done?"
clansman: (goodness gracious.)

[personal profile] clansman 2013-12-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Are you gonna?
clansman: (bounce of bone on ground.)

[personal profile] clansman 2013-12-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Guess it can't be helped.

[ it's a judgment. it's just also not his problem. ]

Don't starve.

[ an inflection of irony in the syllables, but he's out the door and down the hall in moments all the same. ]
clansman: (considering several candidates.)

[personal profile] clansman 2013-12-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Forgot it worked like that.

[ almost ironic, but - ]

Suoh Mikoto.
clansman: (goodness gracious.)

[personal profile] clansman 2013-12-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

Thought they explained it to everybody.
duplicitoussight: (Gestalt Effect)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-09 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[wow

That earns +1 suspicion for you, Gin.]
