(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! ]]

[ That doesn't sound as powerful as the magic she has witnessed. Then again, there were magicians and there were fortune tellers. Not that fortune tellers were liars—they far from that. They were only blessed people who could see less. Kougyoku looks at the cards on her makeshift table, curious about what each card means. ]

What do they tell you now, miss?

"Nice to meet you, Pascal. I'm Sunny Emmerich." She looked out of one of the windows, smiling a little bit. Odd, maybe, but it was something she had wanted to see herself one day. And now she had. It only made her want to work harder towards her personal goals.

"Something like home, hm?"

I heard a thing once, I can't remember exactly how it goes.[He trails off a bit, squinting at the ceiling as he grasps for the words] It's like 'crazy people don't know they're crazy'. Or is it? Damn. Well, basic idea's the same. If you're nuts you're supposed to think you're sane. I guess that means you're safe Larissa.

[He smiles again]You've got to start somewhere, I don't know any better way of making friends. Besides, this place can be a real pain, I know I appreciated the people who lent me a hand.

[He's not lying, Chloe, and Charlie, and Bond, and... hell, a handful of others had really helped him out when he'd first shown up. Oh, he may have something of an ulterior motive as well, who didn't, but it wouldn't hurt him any to offer his help.]

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods, looking at least a little more at ease now that she has some course of action. ]

No, it can't. Thank you, Victor.

"Or at close as it gets with this whole mess! After... Well, it hasn't been the best time of things, but we're gonna figure out how to fight back and wreck the UE soon enough!"

[ Koriand'r nods. ]

I understand, I will be careful.

[ She frowns and looks down at the ground, searching for the right words to describe what she's feeling. ]

Something else. I need. I must know that I can leave this place. I must see the stars for myself.
hellosailor: (How cute)

[personal profile] hellosailor 2013-12-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course. Be careful out there kid. I'll see you around, eh?

[And that was that. She seemed calmed down enough and there wasn't anything else he could offer her. Hopefully she'd find an airlock and not any trouble.]
firefromstars: (it's my fist connecting with your face)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I have only been on Earth for several months and Dick seems very young to retire.

[ At least within her understanding of what retirement meant. She tipped her head, curious. ]

Are you a Titan? Like Robin?
gevurah: (vma watching)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-12-08 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ The reality is she can't, but perhaps Kory will determine that on her own. It might be something Kate needs to let the Titan do. ]

Just head straight out of here and make a right; you'll find the airlocks.
controlledvariable: (Batgirl -- come again?)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-12-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Several months? Is that all?]

Well, he retired as Robin. Or - moved on to another identity, I guess might be more accurate.

[She really wishes she knew more about Dick's time as Robin and as a Titan, because she has - pretty much no idea about what the timeline is like for them. It makes it tricky to navigate]

And nah, I'm not. The team thing isn't really for me, and I don't think I could manage the commute.

[Gotham to California is a long way.]
firefromstars: (hey good lookin)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I would like to see you again as well.

[ She offers him a smile. It's not quite as bright as her normal ones, but it's warm. ]

But my name is Koriand'r. Not kid.

[personal profile] hellosailor 2013-12-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Coriander? [He might be forgiven for mangling the name. He's not chef but he thinks it's a spice? He smiles.] So, not kid, huh? Well, I'll remember it.
firefromstars: (my bullshit senses are tingling)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I am acting no differently than you.

[ The scathing "so there" is left unsaid. ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya very serious over a needle and thread in her hand and mouth. (Determined)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-12-08 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives his weapon exactly the sort of longing glare normally reserved for automobiles of the same expensive model on which you had made the down payment only to discover you had been fired.]

That's going to stand out,, here. We don't get much creative melee.
counterattacked: (if you want to hide)

[personal profile] counterattacked 2013-12-08 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't jerk away this time. Doesn't move at all to acknowledge the small new weight on his shoulders. Whatever bright flash of anger he'd started with has burned itself down to an ember, expended its energy, turned inward. He's not a kid, he knows that capturing the female type won't bring anyone back. Nothing will. There's no bargaining to be had for lives once they're gone. But he's very aware that it's on him, now, to make sure that those who gave their lives for him didn't do so in vain. They can't have died for nothing. He won't stand for it.]

The expedition- we were leading her into a trap the whole time. We could have taken her down if I fought her then. The Captain gave me the choice.

[It's bitter, self-condemning. He'd been told to pick the choice he'd regret the least. He'd chosen to believe in his comrades instead of his gut. And it had gotten them so many of them killed.]

But if we know who's inside, now...[He's no good at turning off his emotions. The guilt and grief have been coming off him in waves. But here it hardens to a shade of his usual mad determination.] -maybe we'll finally get some answers.
juneshero: (Despite my worries)

[personal profile] juneshero 2013-12-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry!! When we're somewhere that won't kill us if you break a wall we can try again? Though now I know I don't stand a chance...

[but he looks so relieved when her sword disappears - shrinks? - back into it's hairpin form]

But uh... [he scratches the back of his head, standing up again from when he shrank back from Kougyoku's attack] Those dungeons you mentioned earlier, with the magic items. Is that one of them?
counterattacked: (than to live on your knees)

[personal profile] counterattacked 2013-12-08 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Eren. Eren Yeager.

[Absent, automatic, and short. All premise of politeness quickly moved away from in favor of pursuing the dimension hopping news. That's something he missed really understanding in the initial briefing, and it's nothing if not alarming.]

Hang on, are you saying those UE bastards are attacking our homes, too?

[Then hell, he should be there, not here.]
firefromstars: (that's some bullshit right there)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ She reaches out, settling her hand on Kate's shoulder and squeezing lightly. A hug would be nicer, but she has become familiar with humans and their need for personal space. ]

Thank you, Kate.
firefromstars: (that's some bullshit right there)

[personal profile] firefromstars 2013-12-08 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a perplexing creature. He seems pleasant enough, however, and Koriand'r knows objectively that she can not run away into space forever. ]

No, I haven't. What are they?
gevurah: (egg is a great person)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-12-08 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
You're... [ Starfire is touching her.

It's surprisingly a tad difficult not to be a touch starstruck. She hopes Roslyn is nowhere near the observatory right now. ]


... Welcome.
duplicitoussight: (But it's too good to throw it all away)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-08 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Partially because of that, and partially because we don't have a lot of livable places that aren't under the UE's control. But it isn't so bad! Time traveling's a pretty good payoff, isn't it?
duplicitoussight: (Massacre)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-08 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[The guy's catching on. Kano flashes a grin.]

How do you think you got here?
duplicitoussight: (Chubb Illusion)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-08 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
If you get stuff easily that's no fun!
duplicitoussight: (Squeeze Box)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-12-08 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Her reaction only elicits giggles from him.] Are you angry?! You're making so much noise! Ehh, should I get on my knees and apologize to the princess?
capitulated: (you won't save us。)

[personal profile] capitulated 2013-12-08 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ just. dismissively waving his hand. yeah sure okay. ]

Sure, whatever.
