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! ]]

You're right, you're right. And we haven't even introduced ourselves yet, huh? Sorry about that!

... you first. [ He's watching oh-so-closely, as if he could spot some more funny business!! ]

Fine, fine. [No way he's very serious right now!! He sticks out a hand.]

I'm Kano. You?

Yata. [ Four-letter-name friends unite.

Shaking hands is lame though so he doesn't do that, instead he reaches over and closes Kano's hand into a fist for him so they could fist-bump. YEAH. ]

[Aww yeah. That's actually a lot cooler. As a gang member he totally approves of this method of greeting and he fist-bumps with vigor. COOL.]

Yata... that's pretty easy to remember, got it, got it. You enjoying the view, Yata?

[ Are you hitting on him, Kano. ]

The view? [ Oh, right, the whole moon thing. ] I guess! It's nice, but it gets kinda boring really fast... Did you just get here too?

[Yata's a nice looking dude but his girlfriend'll punch him if he mentions it.]

Nope, nope. I've been here for a while, actually! Well, not on the moon... but in this world, that's what I meant. Nine or ten months, I think it's been.

That's a long time... [ He's quiet for a second before perking right back up, suddenly, with an oh so determined look. ]

Hah! Don't worry, once I find Mikoto-san, he'll find a way to get everyone back! That's how great he is!

[That enthusiasm is commendable. It reminds him of Momo, a bit.]

Mikoto-san? Ah, that's your friend, isn't it~? Is he that strong of a guy?

Damn right! He's the strongest ever!

[ He looks proud, as if Mikoto being the strongest was somehow directly related to him. Oops. ]

Are you sure? What kinda stuff can he do, anyway?

Anything he feels like doing. [ obviously. ] He's the red king!

The red king? As opposed to a yellow king or a green king?

Don't be stupid, those aren't real. I mean, there's a gold king, but it's not technically called yellow... ah! But Mikoto-san is still the best and strongest one!

Eh, hold up, hold up~ Are you talking about a real king? Royalty and all that sorta stuff?
