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! ]]

[ 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.

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah, he's been mistaken for somebody else.

......and she was just stalking them, huh? ]


...But, you want to be friends with them, right?
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, don't make her admit that! And she's not a stalker!!

She nods, eyes on the floor. ]


Yes.
skilful: (31)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ he glances over at the the people she's been watching who have, very unfortunately, left. ]

I sound like your friend, right? [ because she was so happy when she thought "Alibaba" was here. ] To make up for it, I'll be your friend too!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Really?! [ She looks up at him again. It looks like she likes the idea! ] But I don't want to replace him...
skilful: (27)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's really cute, he can't help but think. ]

Don't worry, don't worry! Nobody can replace the friends we already have inside our hearts!

I promise.

[ he lets that sink in, then: ] I'm Tatara Totsuka! You are?
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...!

[ Her eyes are sparkling. He's right, no one can ever replace Alibaba! Tatara can say such inspiring things!!! Oh, right. She looks down again because she's shy, but she's smiling this time. ]

I'm Kougyoku Ren. It's nice to meet you... Tatara.
skilful: (Default)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ How forward!! He hasn't been called Tatara since Anna. ]

Uwa! Being called by my first name by Kou-chan just made my heart skip...!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
B-But it's normal for friends to call each other by their first names, right?

[ Did she do something wrong? She didn't mean to make his heart do that! ]
skilful: (27)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ calling each other by their first name is huge step for Japanese for, ah...he sounds happy about it though!! ]

Yep! It's been a while since anybody else called me by it!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I shall keep calling you Tatara, then.

[ She's happy to hear that he is happy with it. And she assumes Kou-chan is a nickname, which is all good. ]

You may call me whatever you want. Um... What is a Kou-chan?
skilful: (29)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I took the 'Kou' from your name and attached a 'chan' to it!

[ It looks like she doesn't know what honorifics are, so! ]

In Japan, where I come from, we add 'chan' to the names of really cute people or people we feel close to!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh! [ She gets it. ] I like that.

Then in Japanese, it'd be... Tatara-chan and Yata-chan.

[ Yeah!!! Those sound cute. ]
skilful: (37)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...that name, though. ]

Oh! You've met Yata?

[ assuming they're not two different Yatas. ]
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! He said I was his first girl friend.

[ because he's so friendly, he probably has a lot of guy friends already. ]
skilful: (38)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...yeah, he's chuckling. Yata's still awkward around girls, it's funny sometimes. ]

...I guess Anna's more like a little sister to Yata.
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Don't laugh at Yata!

[ So what if she's his first!? Friend... ]

Anna...?
skilful: (53)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
She is our princess!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [ Another princess? Mikoto-san's daughter!? Interesting. She'd like to meet her. ] So HOMRA had a princess as well...

Um, what is she like?
skilful: (Default)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ "As well" doesn't escape his notice, but he lets it go. ]

She is like a doll! [ suddenly, dramatics! ] She is very quiet but very, very kind and one of the cutest girls I have ever met!
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ She must be fun to dress up... Kougyoku's always been fond of dolls, so having a real live girl to play with for a change sounds fun. ]

Then, she's Anna-chan. [ Because she's cute. ]
skilful: (Default)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-05 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yep, guess who has been making clothes or buying or making accessories for Anna...?? ]

If Anna comes here, will you be her friend too?
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

1/2

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kougyoku gasps at the offer and hesitates. What if they don't get along, or if Anna doesn't like her? The real problem actually lies in how willing Kougyoku is to approach her in the first place... ]
redsea: <user name="heist"> (Default)

[personal profile] redsea 2013-12-05 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks away, placing a finger over her lip. ]

If she will oblige...
skilful: (36)

[personal profile] skilful 2013-12-06 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, don't worry, everything will work out!

[ He says this, smiling so brilliantly. ]

We're already friends, right?
