(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! ]]

That's how I feel about it, yeah. I think everyone's thinking the same thing, too.

[She smiles a little.] Yeah, sorry about that. But hey, if you need anything, I'll do my best to help. I'm Kido. Nice to meet you.

[Kougyoku brightens up so quickly as long as someone supports her. It's so sweet.]

I don't think I do. That's a pretty cute name though for a guy isn't it?

[Sounds like she's already making more friends too!]

Heh, sometimes making a promise out loud makes it easier. But... thanks. I know you don't want to be here but I'm glad I got to meet you again. You understand.

[ She is. She's cried a lot about it. But they were tears of happiness, okay! ]

You think so? I suppose it is. I've never heard of a name quite like it before. ...Well, he did look pretty.

He must be new, then... [ It didn't seem that way to her! Because he was so friendly. ]

"Oh, that's okay! Don't worry about that." Levy laughed and waved a hand almost dismissively. "To be honest I'm used to people who don't have the greatest of manners, so you're perfectly polite to me." Some of her guildmates didn't really have any idea what manners were most of the time it seemed like.

"And please, call me Levy. All my friends do." She said it automatically, only realizing that maybe it would sound presumptuous of her to say something like that. Though she did hope she'd at least made an acquaintance in Felicity.
wordmagic: (|| aaah)

[personal profile] wordmagic 2013-12-11 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
She hoped so, not that she wanted for her friends to have missed things, but because she really wanted to be of help. Levy didn't dislike a lot of things, however being a burden and useless was certainly one of them.

"I-I'd rather not shoot lasers from my eyes!" Levy looked rather startled at the thought, and then she laughed, sheepishly. "My weapon is... Well, they're in my eyes." She wasn't entirely sure what she would be able to do with them at the moment, not to a great extent at least, so she couldn't help but wonder if Natsu's suggestion was that far from the truth.

As if they would ever think of her as a burden or useless. Stilll he was sure she'd find a way to find her place in the scheme of things.

"That's pretty cool. I got these as my weapon." Natsu said and produced the two intricately designed gauntlets from the strap at his back. "They looks AWESOME don't they!"

[ It warms Levy's heart, both having Lucy here and hearing her words, and she's able to feel at ease at last. No matter if her surroundings were strange and unlike home, if she had her friends, her family, she would be okay ]

Right! [ She hugs her best friend again tightly and then steps back, looking excited ] How about you show me around everywhere? You can be my guide!
firefromstars: (my bullshit senses are tingling)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-12 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
A few people. I was beginning to wonder what I would do if there was no one here that I knew. That I really knew.

[ She frowns at him. Did she really know Roy? This Roy? He sounded like Roy and moved like him, but he still looked different. Older. ]

Is there anyone else here? Any of the Titans?
wordmagic: (|| frown)

[personal profile] wordmagic 2013-12-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose you're right... [ Her voice is soft, and it's rather obvious that she doesn't like the sound of that. Not because she necessarily didn't want to meet Zeref - because some part of her has always been curious - but because it clearly pointed toward there being a fight of some kind between the dark mage and Fairy Tail.

Levy's small hands curl into fists at her sides ]
I... I feel like I'm completely out of the loop. [ She looks up at him with an almost pleading gaze ] Can you please tell me what's going on? Even if we're stuck here, I want to know.

[ Fairy Tail is her home, her family, and she can't bear to not know everything she can about the well-being of those who weren't brought to Exsilium ]
celestial_wizard: (Cheering you on!)

I have to use my cheering you on icon now. ;D

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2013-12-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ And Lucy hugs her bestie back just as tightly, reaching down to grab her hand. ]

Right! Let me show you where the residential rooms are first, and where my room is - then I'll show you everywhere else. And when we get back down planetside we'll show you around there too.

[ and off they went! ]
wordmagic: (|| small smile)

[personal profile] wordmagic 2013-12-12 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Levy nods silently, completely in agreement. It's a lot easier to focus this way, even though she'll never be able to stop worrying about her home and her family ]

I agree! I'm not really... the fighting type, but I think there's ways to be helpful that don't involve that. [ At least that's what she hopes, dearly ] The first step is to learn as much as possible.

[ Levy looks ecstatic at that, beaming ] That's great to hear! Oh, by the way, my name's Levy. Levy McGarden. It's nice to meet you!
battering: (but i'm a 90's bitch.)

[personal profile] battering 2013-12-12 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, right! I forgot about that part. [ Introductions were a thing that existed. Oops. ]

Yata. Nice meetin' you too. Heh, it's good to see that not everyone up here is hella unhelpful!

It's nice to meet you, Suoh-kun. [ for all that it's automatic, it doesn't seem any less genuine. ]

[personal profile] ignitepass 2013-12-12 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not very memorable. [ well, maybe 'memorable' wasn't quite the right word for it, but it does well enough. ]

Ah... that's right. It's part of my weapon. [ because that's a thing here, right? ]
ignitepass: (« to » ★ remember you by.)

[personal profile] ignitepass 2013-12-12 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Seto-kun. [ yeah, that's as much as you're getting. ]

It's very interesting. It's like living in a science fiction novel. [ though ... ] I'm not sure I like the fighting aspect.

I am. I'm Tetsuya Kuroko. I only just arrived. [ oh, but backtracking for a second -- ]

It's nice to meet you. [ he can't quite decide on how to address Ico right away, so he just leaves off a direct address. ]
clansman: (goodness gracious.)

[personal profile] clansman 2013-12-12 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ the driest look around before his eyes settle on tetsuya again. ]

Even here, huh.

[personal profile] counterattacked 2013-12-12 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives her a cautiously baffled look, like he's figuring out if she's serious. And then he (finally, for the first time since she'd walked up to him,) relaxes into something of a grin. Eren Yeager does not make friends easily. He's genuinely not used to people taking as well to his punk-ass fuck-the-odds-and-fight attitude as Kido has. Definitely not used to anyone telling him they're glad to have met him.]

Yeah, sure.

[And he even means it. He extends a hand for her to shake.]

I'm no good at holding back, but I can fight. If you're serious about getting stronger.

[The better they all are, the sooner they'll get out of here. (And hell, it's not like she could do a whole lot to him that he couldn't heal, now.)]
deathsought: (☠ the answers)

[personal profile] deathsought 2013-12-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I can't. [ A curt response. He hasn't heard the specifics (yet), but he has a good idea of what has happened. So... he was going to reach that conclusion. That's what he was afraid of. Because, as much as he didn't want to admit it at the time... killing Hades felt good. And in a way, that scared him. It reminded him of a certain mindset he had lost a long, long time ago, and had been threatening to come back for a while now. ]

Though if I had to guess, it involved Tartaros, a Dark Guild very different from Grimoire Heart.

[ One that had a completely different reason from Grimoire Heart and Oracion Séis to worship him. ]

"Well, a–oh," Martin sidestepped another person, smiling with a relief. He wasn't as deft as he was before, back in the body trained for it, but he seemed to be getting by in his own, wobbly way. He was getting taller without the sense to accommodate it fully, yet. But soon.

He smiled back at Bruce, gesturing toward the table now fully in view. There was the prize.

"That was the age everyone in my family kind of...grew up, I suppose. It's complicated, and a little hard to explain." There was a week, meek laugh in his voice, tapering off as he approached the table.

"But I know that was a long time ago. So." He looked back up at Bruce with a more apologetic smile. "More than twelve, but less than forty."

[he lets out a breath that he was holding.]

At least there's that. Well-met, Kate, it seems you're already acquainted with me—

[needless to say, he seems absolutely oblivious to all of that. the whole thing that she's thinking about. actually, he doesn't even seem all that perturbed about not entirely being trusted.

but something stops him for a brief moment, a realization that makes him sick to his stomach. it catches in his throat and twists his insides. he doesn't know her, but she obviously knows him. he didn't cross her—did he? maybe it wasn't him. not in the way that he had first thought.
]

Well, many are.

[personal profile] eyecontact 2013-12-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[his mouth opens a little with surprise when she says it – Teen Titans. it's not something he's heard in...a while.

and it makes him a little sad, being unrecognized. irrationally so; it's not like he'd ever have imagined Starfire to look like this on his own!

his head shakes a little, agreeing with her on that even as he wonders about it. me either...]


It must be a different world then. Like how Robin's not the same Robin I know.

[he nods, fairly certain of that as he turns the tablet around for her to read the remark.]
