(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 watches him closely, but his sudden disappearance takes her by surprise. Her eyes widen, she looks around. What happened?

The tap on her shoulder prompts her to scream. ]


Don't scare girls like that!

[ She flails her arms in anger. This guy! This guy...! ]

I, I wasn't stalking you! I just happened to pass this way...

Tarot cards.

[ julia, nearby, squints. she's got a cup in her hand - water, as much as it pains her, but if she pretends, it can be something else, but the cards catch her attention and she tilts her head forward to look at them. she knows she saw some similar - if not the same illustrations, then the same suits - elsewhere. collinwood, probably, for all the weird shit (to speak frankly) that they had. ]

They let you keep those?

How long do the missions usually take?

[Ah! People never asked if they were saying her name right. Her smile widens, and she nods. She's very quick with the typed up responses, so it's a bit obvious she's been using that as a method of communication for a long while.]

You did. How do you spell your name?

If you have any questions about this place, I can try to answer them for you.

That's an airlock. The contents of that room are expelled into the void of space forever.

[ That voice... it's familiar! Kougyoku gasps and turns around to greet her friend— ]

Alibaba!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Taller, leaner, just plain different—he's not Alibaba. Kougyoku deflates. ]

S-sorry... [ She turns her head away. ] I mistook you for someone else.

[ beat ]

And they are not my friends.

The sound of his name snaps his attention quickly from the tablet, and folding it away, he glances around to catch sight of the small blond boy scuttling up toward him. Though he isn't in uniform, the recognition—not to mention the salute—is significant enough. Moving away from the wall slightly, he inclines his head.

"Arlert."

In addition to the unfamiliar clothes, he's without his gear. One he shouldn't have come with, and the other he shouldn't have been without, had he come along with the rest of them. He'd seen Armin among the other troops on the retreat less than an hour before, but with all of the explanations and readings regarding the passage of time in this place, it's difficult to be certain.

"How long have you been here?"

Anything less than congruent and he'll be expecting a full report.

N-I-C-O.

[ Geez. She's so frickin' sweet. Why do all the girls like her die? ]

Have you had a chance to go down to the surface?

I did. [ he confirms it politely before letting his eyes roam for a moment. ]

I'm Tetsuya Kuroko. Is this crowded to you? [ all things considered, it doesn't strike him as that bad. ]

Ah... [ Well, it got her to talk, she'll give him that. She lets out a sigh of relief. At his question, her expression turns serious as well. ]

I will show you. [ She pulls out her hairpin. A flash of light, and it transforms into a large sword. ] Only the strongest warriors have this!

I feel that "mutiny" is a strong word, considering we have no established system to mutiny against. They wanted more say in what goes on around here, concerning meetings, missions, and what happens to us. What they neglected to notice was that most of the Initiative stayed behind when we evacuated to this base, and are mostly dead. I think there's only about a dozen of them here.

[He's silent for a moment, looking out of the window again.] While I understand where they're coming from, they went about it in a completely stupid manner. And now they're locked up since no one knows what to do with them. Personally, while I think some sort of punishment is deserved, if only for the inconvenience they caused, we have no system here. People are talking about establishing rules, but it's going to take awhile. [As mad as he was at the mutineers, he didn't like the idea of them waiting imprisoned for so long, either.]

Ehh? Yata??

[ he turns, surprised to hear that voice! he'd wondered if anybody else in Homra was here too, but he hadn't seen anybody while wandering about and he'd come to assumed no, but... ]

You were looking for me? [ he wasn't even hiding! ]

[personal profile] ex_plus110 2013-12-05 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
( homura glances at him once more before giving him her back. )

Perhaps you should steal a weapon.
juneshero: (You smile amidst the brilliant sunlight)

[but it comes naturally! He can't help himself...] Kougyoku? That's a nice name! It really suits you! Way better than mine. Haha.

[because naming a girl after a jewel is cooler than naming your son 'sunshine' 8I;;; ]

I'll definitely let you know when I find something. In the meantime... Well, I guess I'm not that helpful around here because I've barely been around a month, but hey. If you need a hand getting around, feel free to give me a shout!
notadamnvampire: (talking)

[personal profile] notadamnvampire 2013-12-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, then I can see how that's actually very useful. [Hello own personal spy. He's almost jealous now. He'll also be sure to keep an eye out for it now.]

So, you made it, then? Kind of an odd pet. Not a fan of cats?
counterattacked: (1000 profiles in a row)

They'd get the firing squad back home.

[Bluntly. Not that he's saying that's what should happen here, but. You know. Desertion is a far bigger concern in the army back home than mutiny, but no doubt it would be dealt with the same way. Mostly he's sort of surprised it hasn't been the same here.]

The Initiative brought us here to be soldiers, it's no surprise they don't want anyone talking back to the chain of command. That's not how it works.
coiffeur: (◆ ❚ with blood instead of milk)

[personal profile] coiffeur 2013-12-05 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, if you're sure. [ he doesn't want to push. ]

If you do end up finding your friend, or you need any help, you can contact me. Koujaku, written like "red sparrow", is my name on there. You can just leave a text or whatever -- I know how confusing this place can be at first.

[personal profile] ex_plus110 2013-12-05 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
So tell me, what use is it to you to know what I am then?

( not that she fully accepts it but he has to be something other than human. )
ignitepass: (« and » ★ never come back)

[personal profile] ignitepass 2013-12-05 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
No. I was exploring.

[ and then, a little mildly; ] It's polite to give your name when someone else gives you theirs. [ it's all said very politely, but there's a hint of something else there in his voice. ]

[personal profile] ex_plus110 2013-12-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I can see that.

( she did drop the weapon after all. homura gives a slight glance to the girl before turning back around. )
reassures: (dim ☙ not sure if I can resurrect you)

[personal profile] reassures 2013-12-05 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, though it takes a second or two longer this time for her to type up a reply. She keeps backspacing.]

Not recently. I was here before we were all brought to the moon base though, and I've been on missions.

You think so? [ Wow, compliments. Not used to them. She just stands blushing and staring there like an idiot. ] Okay, I'll do that.

[ She should probably say something else. ]

Th... Thank you!
dead_shot: ([015])

[personal profile] dead_shot 2013-12-05 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a brave move around someone she doesn't know. Good thing Lockon has no reason to take advantage of an opening like that. ] That sounds like poor manners, considering we're their honored guests.
capitulated: (so pull me closer。)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-05 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ she had used the word magic which seemed--weird. it wasn't magic. not really. it was the power of the King, wasn't it? her brother couldn't be a member of HOMRA not if she had to ask, earlier.

okay, he'll ask. ]
Is he from a different clan?
