transport log » ❝ welcome to Exsilium ❞

Date & Time: Oct. 24th
Location: The Initiative Hold
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports have all arrived and have been led to a banquet room within the Hold.
Warnings: None.

NOTE: This takes place during this plot, though the plot log will not be posted until tomorrow. The Transports already in game have returned from their mission to find the island overrun with monsters. The log is set within the safety of the Initiative Hold, however, so while characters will be aware of what is going on outside, they can otherwise go about their business as usual if they choose.

--

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. She looks worse for wear, pale and gaunt, though is putting a great deal of effort into maintaining her energy and professionalism for the new Transports. "I am truly sorry that you came at such a bad time. That wasn't intentional, I assure you."

She leads the way through the Initiative Hold. The walls bear the occasional claw mark as a sign of the misfortune that has plagued the island, but it hardly seems deserted anymore due to the other Transports recently returning from their mission. After turning several corners, you arrive in a large room that has been transformed into a makeshift banquet hall. The food presented is perhaps not as luxurious or bountiful as one would hope, but it is certainly enough to go around, and isn't inedible by any means.

"We wanted to try and make this up to you," she explains. "It's meagre, but we did not have much time to prepare." There are a number of Transports already present, some looking over the long banquet table, others seated throughout the room at large, round tables meant to each seat eight people. The mood is grim, despite the Initiative's efforts to raise morale.

Before the Greeter turns to leave, she is reminding you that it will be perfectly safe to explore the Hold, the courtyard, the housing building, and even a several block radius around it. "Hopefully things will be back to normal soon."

Welcome to the banquet. Welcome to the Initiative Hold—and most importantly, welcome to Exsilium.

[Success! He smiles enthusiastically, excited by the idea of actually socializing with someone. Even if it is while being kidnapped. He holds the chicken out for a moment, glances at her, then takes a bite. His eyes widen.]

It's good!

[He speaks with his mouth full and then get embarrassed. Sheepishly, he smiles again.] I wasn't... really expecting it to be all that great.

( Watching him is turning into a fun experience all on it's own, with his expressiveness. Collette waves a hand in front of her, shaking her head with a smile at the same time. )

No, it's cool, I get you! We're in a pretty terrible sounding place, so who expects the food to be any good? Though once you're done with that, you should have me taste test those little tart-things and especially the one that looks like a berry tart.

( She grins. )

Or before leaving, at the very least. Can't forget a free desert!
inanimates: (but are there any dinosaurs)

With all the food I don't see why anyone would leave.

[But he helps himself to a tart nonetheless. And maybe a bit more of the chicken. Piling food onto his place, he glances back at her seeming much more comfortable now that she seems to be enjoying herself.]

–Especially when outside seems to be so. Uh. Hectic? Is that the right word?
whatsupcroc: (☇ laugh: you thought that'd work!?)

Hectic works! There are other words, but hectic works.

( She nibbles on one of the things that catches her eye, not terribly concerned on being full from this feast. )

Still, it's pretty safe inside the Hold area, and the apartments might not be well decorated, but the beds are plenty big enough and they're nice and roomy. Ridiculously roomy! After you're full, I'm happy to show you the way.
