(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! ]]

[ WELL YES KIND OF BUT.

okay, okay, he'll just. turn and watch??

he could ask where mikoto plans to go but--no. this is fine. kind of.

is he really supposed to stay here. ]
overclocking: (a little retrospect)

You were punished for it.

[ Thinks that sounds like something Kevin would condone (h e h), and it makes his stomach flip unpleasantly. This is exactly why he hides what he is, and he wonders if he won't have a new nightmare tonight, of holy blades falling upon Rosette while she sleeps. ]

And you still feel the way you do?
72demons: (it is a grievous task)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-06 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Michigan..? [ nope, the name means nothing to him. somewhere foreign, he supposes. her hair is his colour, though, which is.. kind of nice. his fair hair and bright eyes are unusual in israel-- maybe another reason his father had thought him cursed. ]

Perhaps you can show me where that is on a map sometime. I fear I've never heard of it, and I've studied much of the known world.
capitulated: (you know what they say。)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-06 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ but using words is hard. ]

You can't tell me what to do. [ there, words. how's that. ]
72demons: (to seek & explore)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-06 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ for a second, he actually looks a little offended, shoulders straightening and eyes widening. ] Of course I do. They're my friends. Lucifer is my-- [ a brief, strangled pause. ] They mean a great deal to me.

[ he sighs, seeming to deflate slightly, arms curling around himself tiredly. ]

God may be the Creator, but that doesn't mean He's always right.

[John peeks down curiously at the exclamation. He's just been sort of hanging out, not really knowing what to do other than watch the screens. Which were starting to get kind of boring, actually. There is only so much snow he can handle.]

Huh? Are you talking to me?

[He lowers himself a little to better facilitate conversation, pointing to himself at the question.]
soul_sister: (Who? Little old me?)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He is. He totally is. She is really talking to Solomon. THAT SOLOMON. ... Okay, no matter what, this HAS to go better than her first meeting with Uriel. She can explain kicking the angel in the face: he deserved it....

It probably means, however, it will be just as important to hide Chrono from him.]


I have a roadmap back in my room, I can bring it to you if you're interested. It's in the United States of America.
capitulated: (i did this for you.)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-06 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ does judar even count as people.

shrugging his shoulders though. look the only girl he's around often is anna and she's a baby. kougyoku doesn't look that old.

does she? ]
72demons: (Default)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-06 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ he smiles brightly at her at the offer, all but beaming. ] Really? I'd like that. I've never heard of the United States of America. Is it terribly far from Israel that you know..?

[ this is the face of a man who loves to get his learn on. he'll probably take notes. ]
capitulated: (i did this for you.)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-06 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ pulling it out of his jacket and -- nope, it's still not working.

what use is this if it won't even work properly why is he bothering to carry it around. ]


No.
acemedium: (y u mad tho)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-12-06 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
But I was going to open that one!

[THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS she looks like she might actually try to pull at his hand]

That one looks the most exciting!
soul_sister: (Yeah... so about that.)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[If nothing else, it resonates well with her own adopted spirit of adventure and travel.]

It's... not quite exactly on the other side of the world, but it's pretty close.

[She fills two glasses with water and instant tea powder, and puts them in the microwave.]
72demons: (but fools despise wisdom)

[personal profile] 72demons 2013-12-06 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ he is also intensely interested in this microwave thing, attention snagged as he bends to look at it, then glances back at her. ]

It's some sort of oven--? [ presumably, anyway. it vaguely resembles one, and the only reason he can think of to put glassware full of water into it would be to heat the water.

but.. back to the original topic. ]
That's quite far. I presume you're from a somewhat later time than I am, then.
sorrowfulcry: (And it's hollow and it's cold)

[personal profile] sorrowfulcry 2013-12-06 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Do I look like I care?

[he walks faster, almost childishly. Or maybe he's just starting to get hungry]

If you won't change hobbies, go find someone else to annoy and leave me the hell alone.
enduringwinter: (You are calm and reposed)

[personal profile] enduringwinter 2013-12-06 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
...

It's more the limitations of the base's support system. [pause] Though I can't say that I enjoy crowds either.
acemedium: now let's never speak of this again (Obligatory Phoenix Drive reference)

a;

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-12-06 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's... something. After seeing Edgeworth here, Maya's taken to wandering around in case someone else familiar pops up but the last thing she'd expect to see was...]

[... A telephone line repairman? Were there even any phones on the moon? And wow, he doesn't look so good...]


...You know, there aren't any telephone lines around! It's okay to take a break.

juneshero: (& the world are always right next to me)

[personal profile] juneshero 2013-12-06 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[no, he's Prince Loser and she should find better friends so it's all good]

[he shrugs]
Dunno... Didn't really keep count. But I got here with a huge group of people and it looks like there were a bunch already here and now there's more people coming in.

... I mean, we aren't a legion or anything but it's not like there's just - I don't know - eight of us fighting alone or anything. Y'know?

[stopping short when she feels the resistance, vanille looks back at lightning over her shoulder, but doesn't let go of her hand just yet. she's always been tactile, fond of communicating through touch, but she's never really touched lightning. part of it was probably lightning's general stand-offishness, but a larger part was vanille's constant guilt over the situation she'd gotten them all in. she didn't have the right, not when it was her fault lightning's whole life had gone to pieces.

they'll have to talk about that, she decides. she hadn't really gotten the chance to properly apologize, and in the face of her promise to be brave, she can't very well run from that conversation. but now's not the time for that. they've got friends to find... and fangs to frown at.]
A mission? What kind of mission?
pauldron: (hands on hips)

[personal profile] pauldron 2013-12-06 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[To Lightning, the apologies would matter but not change anything. It isn't as if they could go back and change the past, change what had already happened. There was no going back to the days that had passed. Now, they had to deal with the here and now. With the future that was coming.]

Recon. Finding out if it was safe to move everyone back or not. [her eyes narrow, that old familiar habit of scoping out a situation before running ahead. She's no Snow, that's for sure. She still hasn't pulled her hand back just yet, not feeling cornered enough to do so. besides, it's Vanille. Even if the cheer is annoying, she's family.] Considering the last time we were down there they tried to blow us all up, I'd be surprised if situation's cooled down enough to do that.

[The whole world out to get them. At least it's still familiar.]
tragicomedienne: (☎ you're going backwards)

a......

[personal profile] tragicomedienne 2013-12-06 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
What do you think you're doing?

[If Vanille's interfering with anything, then it's Nanami's turn to show up and be a grade-A fun killer.

She's taken the opportunity granted by moving to the moon (even though it came with that uncomfortable sadness, and Utena acting weird, and-- whatever else) to work the administrative kinks. With that opportunity has come, at unfortunate expense, more room for Nanami to shout about things she thinks she has control about. This is not the first time she's taken a chance at authority that hasn't mattered or actually given her any power.

Whatever. She extends an accusatory index finger at Vanille.
]

Why don't you ask someone who knows their way around here, first?

[ No, she looks fine... ]

Anyway, I suppose they're not true after all. The rumors about you.

[ Kougyoku lived in fear of the KagePros. ]

No. [ She turns around this time. She is ashamed of getting caught! ]
coiffeur: (✪ ❚ i love hot topic)

[personal profile] coiffeur 2013-12-06 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ he smiles, chuckling a little before he meets Yata's fist with his own. ] I'll let you go, then. I have my own comrades to search for. If you see anyone talking about me and mentioning they're a part of of a Benishigure, send 'em my way, will you?
capitulated: (i'll tell you my secret。)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-06 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Rumors?
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

That you kicked girls and small animals. There's no way that can be you. He must have been referring to someone else, surely.
