transport log » ❝ welcome to Exsilium ❞
Date & Time: Sept 23rd, 2012.
Location: The Initiative Hold & Courtyard.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports have all arrived and have been shuffled into the Courtyard after their initial briefings.
Warnings: None.
You've just been hustled and bustled through mazes of information and literal, wide corridors of the Initiative Hold and you've been equipped with your weapon—be it a gun, a sword, or even your existing powers. They've handed you this light netbook and a small pouch of coins (or a debit card, if you're more inclined), and there are several Transports before and after you going through the very same motions. You can hear the Greeter's voice as she walks alongside large groups, telling them all about the history of this place and sharing with you your purpose here in a hurried and urgent tone. "This isn't standard," she's saying, walking perhaps faster than most of the people she's dragging around. "We don't normally have so many Transports at once. Please, let me show you into the courtyard."
You pass what looks like huge gymnasiums, all with dummies and targets strewn and splayed around the room. Training areas. There are even classrooms, and a few small offices. You're rushed past a large library while the Greeter informs you that you can find almost all your information there, if you've got the time to look—and trust her, you'll have time. You don't spend a lot of time in the bank, and it's a bit of a blur of exchanges with more and more of these strangely-accented and oddly polite-seeming members of the Initiative.
Soon enough, you're in a massive courtyard bustling with all the other Transports. It's not exactly what you'd expect, and it looks more like barracks than anything—huge walls of concrete and stone, separating you from all of the hallways you'd just passed through. It's raining heavily, and dark clouds loom in the air. It's a chill cold, and there are shelters—long cloth hangings that extend from the walls of concrete to house you from the rain, but not enough. Most notably, the courtyard is filled with a marketplace. Even in the cold and the rain, there are several citizens seated at their covered booths and tables. They're selling all manner of their own handmade goods and foods, and citizens and Transports alike are traveling from one small covered shop to another in search of all manner of necessities.
The Greeter's voice has become so faint now, but you swear you can make it out in the back of the crowds as she tells you, "Good luck. Be safe!"
Her voice is drowned out by the busy marketplace, though even the transactions taking place are somewhat subdued. Nobody is overly happy, really, though most citizens can be found with smiles on their faces. It doesn't seem like they're that shocked to see you, either; even if you're not bound in tattered rags and wrapped in heavy shawls as they are. You're welcome to walk up to a shop, and find yourself something to eat—hey, maybe you'll even find something akin to a raincoat. Or, you can join the others under the coverings against the walls. Where am I? What war? She was talking so fast, and it didn't all make very much sense… did anyone else catch it all?

Or--
Then again, Victor was missing a few years, and Nate's probably not wearing that jacket for show. Son of a bitch. Really, Initiative? Really?]
Right. About that...the last thing you remember is Tibet?
no subject
[Drake furrows his eyebrows.]
Why do you ask?
no subject
You've...missed a lot, Nate.
Nearly four years. At least compared to when they brought me here.
no subject
[Drake finds that impossible to believe. Being thrown here is already ridiculous enough, now different times?]
Chloe, what is going on?
no subject
Come on. Let's at least put our feet up before you pass out from shock, yeah? [Because it's Nate that has to worry about falling off his balance, right Chloe.]
[Her pack is dropped to the ground with a resounding, metallic thud, and she heaves a sigh of relief as she finally settles down. It's taking all of her patience to get through this-- patience she doesn't have much of to begin with-- and the little distractions of readjusting herself and her things are thankfully forgiving.] Divine retribution, maybe? We did steal more than our fair share between the two of us.
[All right, bad joke.] Seems like they don't care to pull us all from the same point in time. You and Victor have the same memories, Harry-- well, he's not dead, and I've not had the courtesy of a little company from my current year at all. I'm beginning to think they're playing some kind of sick joke on the lot of us.
no subject
[Calm down, Drake, there's a time and a place to hate that son of a bitch. Okay, that's nearly always these days.]
He's here? Now?
no subject
Easy there, Nate. A lot of things have happened, and he's straightening out. The last thing any of us need is to kick up another grudge match, okay?
Just...let it set for a while.
no subject
[Just... get over it, Drake. Maybe he won't run into that jackass.]
no subject
Especially considering what we're up against.
no subject
Anything we've been up against before?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[A sly grin tugs at the corner of her mouth.] Not that we can't just...you know, slip in under the radar.
no subject
Well, that didn't go so hot last time I tried.
no subject
[There's a momentary pause as she rubs at the base of her neck. Problems.]
Well, new world, new slate, yeah?
