(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! ]]

[ He eyes her suspiciously ]

Why do you want to know?

"What exactly are you having problems with?", she asked, suddenly wondering if she was imposing or not. Either way she was here, and trapped by her own actions.

"I'm new myself, so I'll try my best with whatever I can."

Not what powers you have, but how much power you can use here.

( she needs to know because she hasn't been alone enough to pull out her soul gem and try out things. )

[he shakes his head, certain quickly isn't an instant. face flush, he turns the tablet around so he can clear out the old and type the new, hesitating between words, deleting some...taking a minute or so to get it all down:]

You look kind of like someone I knew from my home...The same hair and eye and skin colors. Her name's Starfire. She was here for a little bit...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't look like the lord of the undead to me.

[Excuse Yuri, he doesn't know what summon spirits are.... yet.]

We're on the moon since where we were got bombed.

[And then a quizzical look appears on Yuri's face...]

Why would rabbits live on the moon?

[Excuse him, he's not well read.]

[ He can't admit that he hasn't tried to push his limits yet, because it exhausts him. Instead he settles on a neutral answer. ]

I haven't had an opportunity to find out yet.

Tch... so weak! [ He goes ahead and gives the guy a shake. Shake shake shake. ]

Come on, I don't have all day!

[ He was almost expecting her to bury underground and wreck their path. It didn't make much sense, in theory, but... he had to admit it would've been cool. ]

Okay. [ Hmph. He follows along, making sure to keep some distance. Then, quietly (an amazing feat for him really), ] What's your name?

[ O-oh, she was smiling at him... Yata looks away, tensing. ]

You're right! Sounds good! Thanks a lot anyway!

[ Smooth, wow. He raises a hand as a sort of half-wave, since she'd already been a big help. ]

[personal profile] lafouldre 2013-12-05 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ beaaat ] I don't - think that's very accurate. I mean, they're not a very popular tool but there's plenty of witches who use them.

[ you have successfully confused her, thank you. ] Is there a - they said we were trying to get off it. Back to earth. Is that right?

[ Lucky for Levi, there's a healer in the crowd who notices the way he walks, not putting too much weight on one side. ]

Excuse me. Are you alright? You walk as if you're injured.

You don't have any magic? [ She's not terribly fond of it, herself, but ] What a strange idea. I don't really know what to make of that. Flying cars? Who has those?

[ But she just blinks at him a little bit at that last bit. ] Well, of course I know about television and cars. Are there people who don't, here? [ What is going on in this place, really. Sorry, Sully, the joke part sailed a little bit past her. ]

Do you think so? Thank you, really - it's nice to meet you, uh, Victor? [ She's really unsure if she's allowed to use the Sully nickname. ] That's - James Bond?
lafouldre: (reticent)

[personal profile] lafouldre 2013-12-05 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Really, if she'd known it would bring this much attention to her she would have waited for somewhere far more private. But she falters, looks upwards. ]

Not quite, no. Just - trying to see if I can find out something more about this place.
lafouldre: (a calm decision)

[personal profile] lafouldre 2013-12-05 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up eventually, feeling that prickle of eyes on you that means that someone's watching, and after a little while she spots Kougyoku, smiles a little hesitantly. She looks quite young and harmless, surely? ]

Hello. You - did you want something?
lafouldre: (what did you just say?)

[personal profile] lafouldre 2013-12-05 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'd say hello, but she's slightly preoccupied with that question because it's quite confusing to her, really. ]

Yes? I mean, is there a reason they wouldn't? [ Starting to pack them away, because as much as she isn't fond of magic she doesn't want anything familiar taken from her right now. ]
eyecaptivating: (and i see)

A!

[personal profile] eyecaptivating 2013-12-05 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[This particular person responds by... immediately pulling up her pink hood to hide her face. Whoops.]

Wh-what?! Is this an interview or something? Is it?! [She waves her hands in front of her, shaking her head.] I-I'm not ready for an interview!

[ The moonbase is constructed with such efficiency and spareness for design that there is, sadly, nowhere for Break to pop out from, so he has to content himself with the next best thing, which is just quietly appearing behind Vanille's left shoulder.

It's entirely possible that Vanille has found the airlock, which has AIRLOCK - EXTREME DANGER, DO NOT TOUCH spelled out in big, friendly letters above it, except someone has crossed out "AIRLOCK" and replaced it with "ZOMBIE DISPOSAL." ]


There's one way to find out. You might want to hold on to something, however.

Man, I thought being on the moon would be more interesting.

[John is currently floating up above everyone's heads - the sudden amount of people where he previously had very little was extremely overwhelming! - though his long hood still trails down to the ground as he stares at the screens in confusion.

He doesn't... think this is part of the game. And he doesn't think it has anything to do with his dreams?

Well, whatever, he will just have to play along until something clicks and makes sense. At least he got his hammer back! Which he immediately captchalogues, causing it to disappear seemingly in thin air.

He can be found floating and flying around the Observatory and the hallways. He's ecstatic that he finally has company other than his ectosis and some game sprites- so happy to finally have other places to explore than planets full of lava and salamanders. Don't trip over his hood!! He does not want to get choked because of you!!]

She was another, uh...y'know whatever you are. Grey skin an' horns.

[He places the leaflets down for a minute, holding his hands up to where Feferi's fins are on her face.]

Kinda fishy?
selfequipped: (let's sit back and breathe)

[personal profile] selfequipped 2013-12-05 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[The machine is able to do that? Just bring people back? Of course, she's not terribly surprised to hear it. People come back from the dead all the time, except for the ones that people really want to see back.

Unfortunately, Kate is only too used to that factor.]


The machine ... got it. [She makes a note, then, to not be surprised.] Wow, though, I really didn't expect to run into you here.
selfequipped: (winker + solution?)

[personal profile] selfequipped 2013-12-05 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her mouth opens to consider what she has to say. If he didn't do it, then that's easy enough to accept. The fact that he's younger is strange, but as far as she can see, Billy isn't around to answer questions (and frankly, she'd rather direct this question to one of her best friends than Loki, for a wide range of reasons).

Her mouth then closes and she shakes her head solemnly.]


No, this doesn't seem like you.

Cause you made 'em into cookies, of course!

They went solid again, yeah? Make sense?

[personal profile] selfequipped 2013-12-05 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the circumstances. I got it.

[Kate grasps that there isn't exactly a lot of room for music-making in a war, even if she's fairly certain there's a celebrated string of poets and musicians who gained their fame because of their art produced in a war. But that might be seen as useless here.]
