(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! ]]

[ She follows, but upon hearing that, she can't help blurting out: ] Oh, no! I much prefer you this way!

[ As if she had actually said something wrong. ]

It is a good thing... [ She adds in a small voice as she shrinks back. Don't be like her brother and grow an unfashionable goatee. ]

Can't you watch where you're going!?

[ —ah. That was too harsh. Kougyoku thought she bumped into an impudent brat, but this girl looks decent. Ashamed of her own reaction, she looks away. ]

... Sorry.

[ ren you're so cute he can't handle you. ]

Do you? [ he gives her a wide-eyed, innocent glance. ] That's very kind of you, Princess. You're certain you wouldn't prefer it if I were a decade or two older..? I'm certain I'd look much more refined then.

[ he gently flicks her bangs, smile taking on a teasing note. ]

Well.. I'm glad that I please you.

People to meet is definitely on Gin's list of things to do as well, although for less benevolent reasons. When he sees her looking over the monitors he approaches her, leaning a little to the side to get a better look at them as well.

"Does it make any sense to you? I tried lookin' over all this stuff once, made my head spin a bit."

Notably, he's carrying a plate of cookies in one hand and a stack of leaflets in the other.

M-my apologies.

[He grimaces, but also smiles for the first time since Solomon's arrival. Not a common expression on Uriel's perpetually serious face. Not by far.]

Herbal tea. I am aware.

[He holds Solomon's hand and guides him to the cafeteria. At least that is a good excuse to keep him away from demons. Hopefully, Mister Gilbert has already cleaned up all zombie goo and they can safely use the oven.

The hand holding Solomon's is protected with a perfectly white glove. Just like the coat, it is deliciously warm. Solomon, of all people, can sense that Kevin's human form is barely covering something thoroughly divine.

[Gin's roaming the moonbase for newbies to hassle, so he's pretty pleased to come across Eren. He looks new, definitely, struggling with his weapon and in a condition noone around here would let him walk around in(mostly, at least.) Unfortunately he's probably not going to make things easier for the guy either.

So here he is looming over Eren with a plate of cookies in one hand, a stack of leaflets in the other, and a big old grin. Whenever the hell he did show up is anyone's guess, since he made absolutely no noise approaching.

You might wanna find a better place for that, kid. You're blockin' the whole hallway.

[Unfortunately he's more amused than anything by someone approaching him, a wide grin on his face.]

Hm? Lookin' for who, exactly?

[ Now she knows why he's a king. This man... This man is so charming, he's dangerous! Or she's ridiculously easy. It's a toss-up between the two. Either way, she's at a loss for words before she can muster: ]

I'm only eighteen!

[ And that's all she has to say on the matter. ]
velveteened: (} i’m so sorry (no))

( her dress and especially her hairstyle make her easy to recognize too, for all that they'd spoken twice a long time ago; but it's enough that he remembers her a bit, even if not what her name was. so he brightens and waves when he notices her watching her, approaching with an easy smile. )

Hello!

[personal profile] onehundredswords 2013-12-03 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, don't worry too much. It ain't so bad up here.

[Even if she wasn't referring to him, Gin's taking that as an opening and approaching all smiles. He offers her a leaflet with one hand and a plate with the other, full of cookies.]

Welcome, welcome! Take a cookie, they're free for the new guys.

[Unfortunately his fellow greeter used way too much lemon, so they might be...strongly flavored for lack of a better word.

Though that's exactly why he's handing those particular ones out in the first place.

Huh? Hey, hey, you can't just go attackin' whatever you want.

[Not that he cares, he's mostly putting this act on for the sake of it.]

What'd that door ever do to you?

[ Was he talking to her? He was definitely talking to her. Time to hide. ... But now only the top of her hairdo is showing. Why.

He looks friendly enough, so maybe it's okay to... No! Ka Koubun told her not to talk to strangers! Besides, what would she say to him? She can't think of anything, she's no good at that. ]
72demons: (he that increaseth knowledge)

god i'm sorry my feels are out of control

[ solomon's relationship with god is.. complicated, just like his relationship with lucifer is. on the one hand, solomon will never not love him. he's the creator, and even at his very, very worst, at his cruelest, at his most unforgiving, solomon.. still loves him. but he hates his jealousy, his heavy hand, the way he rules. he hates the oppressiveness of heaven. he hates that god gave humanity the capacity and desire to sin for the sake of happiness, only to forbid it.

as much as he loves god, he despises him, too.

even so.. even so, even after everything, after what god has ordered and uriel has carried out, the sense of the archangel is still strangely soothing like this. and-- he's never hated uriel. even as he spited him, disobedient to his very core, he could never hate him. angels have no choices. just look what happened to lucifer for choosing.

and look what's happened to uriel for doing the same.

he curls his fingers with the gloved ones in his, squeezing them tightly for a moment, brows twisting together. ]
.. I'm going to find a way. [ it's a half-finished thought, but he glances up, squeezing the angel's hand again. ] I'm going to give you back what Michael took from you. It won't be this lifetime, I know. But.. one day. [ he lifts the hand to his lips, brushing a kiss across the back. ] Thank you for being by his side. For-- loving him. For letting him just be a boy.

[Gin's pretty fond of people watching himself, and he'd even give her an A for effort but...wow step up your game 0/10 for skill.

So rather than ruin her game he actually follows her until she's mostly distracted, then stands right behind her and leans down, looking over her shoulder.

What're you staring at?

[Feferi's actually only the second troll he's seen so far, so instantly notes her resemblance to Sollux. Huh.]

New, me? Nah, nah, I've been here for a while!

...unless you mean as a greeter. That'd be a yes - I'm fillin' in for someone.

It's been some time since Oz has greeted newcomers.

Well, two months at any rate; for someone who used to make a habit of being around without fail, it seems a long time — and maybe the time seems longer on the moon, chill hours stretching into days and weeks and now months, a reminder of painful things — but this month there's no city being razed, no zombies out for brains, and no personal missions that take him away from things, so here he is. He doesn't like the observatory any more than he had upon first arrival, but maybe it's almost easy to forget their surroundings with all the new people with whom to speak. Annie makes for an unfamiliar face, which is reasonably notable itself (ten months anywhere will make new faces stand out all the more), and that with the date makes him reasonably sure she's a new arrival.

He used to keep an umbrella or two around for the first of the month, help out newcomers who'd otherwise be rained on, but today Annie will find herself presented with a steaming styrofoam cup of hot chocolate and a smile.

"For you."

Seven people so far! I've really stepped up my game.

[Though he's laughing himself, too. Oh underlying intentions how beautiful you are.]

One of the other greeters made these godawful cookies with too much lemon, so I've gone out of my way to hand 'em out alongside my little introduction here. [He flashes his stack of leaflets in one hand.]
72demons: (whether it be good or evil)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-03 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he smiles. ] Well, I'm only in my twenties. [ he doesn't know his precise age, unfortunately. no one marked his birth with joy, and his first years had been in a place with little light and little way to count the days. but.. early twenties he knows for certain. ]

I'm sorry, am I terrible? [ his smile softens. ] I only hope very sincerely that we can be friends.

Hey, hey, I told you! I'm an honest soul. There ain't nothin' to reform from.

[He chuckles at it though, as not to keep too straight an attitude about it.]

I'm just here to greet the new guys - regulars are a bit busy.
onehundredswords: (Default)

[personal profile] onehundredswords 2013-12-03 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, laughter. It's so contagious he can't help but laugh as well, speaking through how amused he sounds.]

C'mon, don't laugh! I worked really hard on that.

[Though for different reasons.]

[personal profile] individualist 2013-12-03 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Tea? [He offers a slightly raised brow to that physical contact, since he's never in all his life met someone who'd do it so easily. Fortunately it doesn't irritate him, so his smile remains.]

There's some around here only by virtue of that being what they call it, but the quality is rather lackluster.
velveteened: (} near far)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-12-03 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
( o-oh no she's adorable. he stifles a laugh — and with a reaction like that, she likely doesn't remember him, but that's fine — and holds out a steaming cup he'd held in one hand. )

Would you like some hot chocolate? It's a little cold up here.
72demons: (he that increaseth knowledge)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-03 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, that's unfortunate, I-- [ but then he pauses, shifting a little to look at him properly, green eyes widening in startled pleasure. ] --Oh.

[ it's a bare breath of sound, and for a moment or two, he looks-- overwhelmed, even on the edge of tears. but his smile returns as quickly, and he presses the arm in his grasp with gentle fingers. ] .. You look very different here, Lucifer. I almost didn't recognize you.

[personal profile] onehundredswords 2013-12-03 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh?

[Gin's caught off guard by how forward Solomon is, but he isn't put off at least. His wide grin remains as he shakes his head.]

Afraid not, pal.

[He raises one of his hands, offering Solomon a plate of cookies.]

Ya' can have one a' these though if ya' want. There's one for each newbie but, ah, even if you're not I'll make an exception. [Though they'll have such a strong taste of lemon they'll be rather offputting, unless you really like lemon. That's exactly the reason he's handing them out too.]
onehundredswords: (Default)

[personal profile] onehundredswords 2013-12-03 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's very much into the idea of taking cookies, don't mind him-oh god lemon overload.

Fortunately his face doesn't collapse, but his right eye is twitching a little.
]

You, ah-

You mighta gone a bit overboard with these.
