IC INTRO - JUNE '18

After the fight with the siren has settled, those characters with phones hooked to the KEystone network will get a text -

Okay, everyone, you had better come back in. There's a storm brewing just off the coast.

Even given Up's usual professionalism, it seems rather... subdued?

----

For once, there are no androids at all to greet you upon your return, or arrival, as the case may be. A shelter has been set up for the boats on the shoreline of Glitterstone, however. By the time you tromp up the lighthouse stairs to the level of the Station itself, the sky is beginning to grey with the promised storm.

There's not the typical feast outside, but there is a fairly extensive taco bar set up in the common room, left unattended as well. The room sign-up sheet and boxes of freebies are also there, complete with the Braille versions, and a note at the bottom of both room sheets reads "If all rooms are full, space has been made in the meeting rooms on the top floor. We'll have additional rooms available as soon as possible."

It does appear that someone has updated the murder counter while you were away, however, for the turning of the week. It now reads 15 weeks without murder.

Other than that, you're free to explore, including in the newly finished sections of the Annex (should you be willing to brave the storm to get between buildings). However, wherever you go, the androids are almost conspicuously absent - even in the medical bay and Down's workstation in the command center.

The meeting room they have for their own private use is securely closed and locked.

I looked spectacular, thank you very much. Human bodies and their limitations are just terrible and stupid.
motherfucking_ghost: (look at this goober)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
You stupid, wonderful human.
burninglight: (and my heart starts vanishing)

Your stupid, wonderful human.

You know this means I'm going to have to practice to get accustomed to fighting again. Someone might have to watch me show off and make sure I don't push myself.

Someone might have to spar with you, you mean.
burninglight: (and my heart starts vanishing)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to shoot swords at you, dearest.
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Iiiii hope you don't shoot swords at most things and people.
burninglight: (when surrounded by night)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
More often than you think.
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Here? Or in general?
burninglight: (suddenly i see that i can't break free)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
In general, dearest. If I had done it before now I would have had a better grasp on my limitations.

I mean...okay. But maybe don't...do that a lot?
burninglight: (slipping through the cracks)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's how the full Armiger works, Leonard. If we're up against something too big to deal with using just one weapon or something that's apparently weak to light, of course I'm going to utilize it.

...But it's meant as a last resort at full power, not 'idiot immortal throwing around swords because he can't feel its drawback'.
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
What were you even fighting against? The fuck could you possibly fight besides some angry eels?
burninglight: (do i dare believe in hope)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Unspeakable underwater horror with screaming mind control. Practically reminded me of home.

'What' to which part, love?
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Helpless gesture of 'the whole thing' here.]

I thought the most dangerous thing down there was those stupid eels. Why did you go fight a mind controlling horror?

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 03:38 am (UTC)(link)


...because it was there?

[?????]
motherfucking_ghost: (you're way too sure of yourself)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[????????????]

A bunch of you went and fought something you didn't need to fuck with just cuz it was there?
burninglight: (suddenly i see that i can't break free)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[A shrug.]

Kind of.
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You're a loser. Maybe next time you have the urge to fight something you shouldn't, you...shouldn't?
burninglight: (and my heart starts vanishing)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Duly noted, my darling.
motherfucking_ghost: (scruffy puppy)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs a little and bends down to give Ardyn a smooch on the forehead.] You'll fight anything you think needs fighting, though, I know. Anything I can get you?
burninglight: (do i dare believe in hope)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Your unending affection and questioning my poor decisions is more than enough.
motherfucking_ghost: (scruffy puppy)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. You rest. There'll be plenty of tacos later to fuel you back up.
burninglight: (circling with nothing but my hate)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-06-12 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...and you won't go anywhere, right?
