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.

Considering that my brother is one of those affected by this one, it may be a little close to my heart.

[Which brother? The one Faith might have seen passed out on a couch elsewhere in the room. Yeah, that one.

With a sigh, he bends to let the cat jump free of his arms. She immediately starts to investigate Faith, sniffing the weird leg.]
moonlightglory: (What are you talking about)

[Faith looks down, and nudges kitty gently with her non-foot. Weird leg is not food.]

Sounds like nobody has been murdered lately, at least. Is this cat yours?

Not in the whole time that people have been arriving here. That's rather the point.

[But will the weird foot play with her? Guess who is doing the coy roll over thing that gets hands attacked.]

Yes; her name's Verity. She's still a bit of a baby.
moonlightglory: (Ha ha ha I'm dead inside)

[personal profile] moonlightglory 2018-06-12 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
No fair. If you get to keep your cat, then where the hell is my fish?

[Sure, why not. If Verity's going to be attacking any limbs, it might as well be the one made of metal. Tummy poke incoming.]
founderinglight: ([hold])

[SHE WRASSLE! SHE FIERCE!]

It's more that she wound up here like we did, and so now she's mine. Far better than leaving such a friendly girl to go feral, no?
moonlightglory: (What are you talking about)

[personal profile] moonlightglory 2018-06-12 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes sense.

[Glance over at the other room, where Izunia's brother is probably still asleep.]

You guys twins?
founderinglight: ([my place plz])

[personal profile] founderinglight 2018-06-12 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly so. Excepting a bit of temporal distortion, Ardyn's the elder by five and a half minutes.

[personal profile] moonlightglory 2018-06-12 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
So time travel is a thing now, too?

More that he spent near a year at another place where people were taken from their original worlds. Rather more intentionally in that case, but it's left about a ten month gap between us.

[He shrugs.]

[personal profile] moonlightglory 2018-06-14 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait.]

...Do we have a calendar here? In my head it's still January but I just realized I have no clue what the date is in this dimension.

Best to ask someone with better time sense, I think we're in late May? Somewhere thereabouts.
moonlightglory: (You can't be serious)

[personal profile] moonlightglory 2018-06-14 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
God damn. That's gonna take some getting used to.

Almost skipped over my birthday.
founderinglight: ([hold])

Mine's in August, but I don't know how much it matters once you start getting into time differentials.
