(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 suppresses a chuckle. ]

Yep! Without pen and paper, too! So, when it comes back up again, you can send me letters anytime.

[ ...for someone who shouldn't be saying this, he certainly sounds very eager to!

Totsuka looks around too, then leans in, nodding very seriously. ]


I understand. I promise to keep it a secret, Ichimaru-san.

That's amazing! They don't have anything like this in my world. I will definitely send you one soon, Tatara! You might even be the first message I get.

[ but no it's yata ]

Oh, you're so silly. It's just letters. [ NO SHE'D BE REALLY HAPPY, SERIOUSLY ]

A monarch is a monarch even without his crown. In a certain sense you can't, wouldn't you say?

[As Solomon was removing his veil and crown, looking back to Lucifer reveals that he's now in possession of a tea set set upon the table, pouring both himself and Solomon some tea into cups matching the design. It's appearance seemed instantaneous, and at no point did he leave to get it, so chances are he simply conjured it up at some point. Being the Devil had it's perks.

He slides the cup over to Solomon, taking a seat opposite him and sliding his own over to his side of the table.

Unfortunately the cafeteria's own supply is rather weak and bland, so please take as much as you like. You may need to get used to their own afterwards, as luxuries are rather difficult to come by in this time.

[The shadow gets a little nod in answer, but little more.] So they do. Though most prefer their companions to be somewhat more... substantial.

Flimsy though it may be, the dismissal stings, the rejection stings, hurt boiling over with sudden ferocity. There's seven months difference between them, now, as far as Karkat's concerned, and she's not the Ruka he left behind. She's inferior. And even if Karkat and Ruka are still friends in the City, that doesn't give him the obligation to care the slightest bit about her.

Did she really expect anything different?

"If you want to go, then just go." Bitterness, sadness that she can't quiet help—but how could she expect anything else, just because he knew how to shorten a name? "I won't take any more of your time."

Eh? So you've got a bit of an edge beneath that exterior, huh? People like you are the scariest, I think.

[As for the angel comment...]

I don't think Angels actually exist - least where I come from.

It's much easier to tell he's hurt her than he would have liked it to be.

Should he really be taking his misery out on her? It isn't as though she can't understand. In fact, she stands what is probably the only chance among the entire Transport population of empathizing with the way it feels, to lose everything this way. He doesn't want to hurt her, but he doesn't know how to deal with her, now -- she's different, and if he couldn't trust his heart to the Ruka he left behind, how can he trust it to the one in front of him?

He can't.

"I didn't wander all this way and watch you nearly pass the fuck out to ditch out halfway through," he mutters, some of the venom having drained out of his tone, but still closed off as ever. "Keep going."

It's not a very big place. [ He flicks a glance around the room, quirking a smile. ] And I guess you know where to find me, now.

That device they gave you—you can use it to talk to people whenever you want. All you have to do is give it my name.

How much do you know of the situation already?

[Seras questions, just in case he hasn't had things properly explained to him yet.]

[ he takes the cup, hand shaking.

and stares down at the juice for a second. okay he's going to do this.

.......

INDIRECT KISS.

don't look, Kougyoku, he's all red. yata holds the cup back over. ]


It's good!!

[ What the-- this guy!! Saying such dumb things! Yata nudges at him with his elbow. ]

I'd hope not! That'd be weird, even for you...

You might just have to take my word for it.

[At least it's just bullshit pseudo-science, it shouldn't make sense.]

Right?

[ Kougyoku takes the cup back and smiles. She took care of her friend!

Wait. Why is he— ]

[ Two blushing losers walk into a bar--

He'd settled on looking elsewhere, but he very tentatively looks over at her. Kind of... waiting for her to say something... ]

"Yeah, I guess I am. I'm one of the lead developers on a project at Solis so this stuff comes naturally. And I love it."

All the information that's right at someones fingertips with a tablet, just think of what could be learned, discovered, invented. It made Sunny almost happy to be here.

[ But you know that's not happening. She's peeking at him from behind her sleeves, waiting for him to do the same.

... They look really dumb right now. ]

Good on ya', kid. So - we had this mutiny pretty recently, buncha folks messin' with the system an' tryin' to give "power to the people" or somethin'. Eventually that's quelled an' we all go back to arguin' for a bit about what to do with the mutineers, an' this one guy - the one who I'm fillin' in for - heads right off to the place we're holdin' 'em captive, an' does some stuff to one of 'em in particular. People keep callin' it assault, an' he took her powers from her too.

Messy business.

... You're really red.

[ Captain Obvious at your service. ]

Oh- I see. [ That doesn't really mean anything, right? Well, that's what she tells herself, even though she can't imagine being a lone mage without a guild herself.

The initial tenseness of Levy's small frame disappears, shoulders falling a little in relief ]
I'm glad. At least she was able to go home, even if the rest of us have to wait.

[ Levy's brows meet over her eyes, an apologetic and confused look crossing her features ] I'm really sorry, but I don't think I know who you are. I mean, we've never met, right?

[ She's usually good at remembering people, or at least faces, so Levy's not exactly sure what's going on ]

My name is Levy. Levy McGarden. It's a pleasure to meet you!
