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.

Yeah, he's one of the people I know. Although by the sound of that last bit, something very serious must have happened.

[She got invited to his and Akane's wedding, but it hasn't happened yet. They still have a zealot to catch.]

I mean, the robot arm is less surprising than "oh, he's extremely in love with another girl".
nojohnyouare: Looking out a window. ('cause it's so easy)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Complicated? It sounded complicated.

He had a childhood friend by the name of Akane Kurashiki.

Thanks to... well, her, by large measure, I was able to meet one of Junpei's possible future selves, when he was an old man. Even after the world had basically ended, he still loved her.

[But then they met again, for the last time.]

I've seen and heard about so much, and yet when I try to imagine something or someone that could have changed those feelings, or been stronger, I can't think of anything.
nojohnyouare: Preoccupied with eating. (but that's a conversation)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-12 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe it didn't. He didn't tell me much. I was gone much longer. But I saw. Not just him. A lot of people. How they stayed tied to their homes and who they were, but also to something new. Or even when their hearts wandered, there was still something reminding them. Because memory... It's the most important thing.

On the other hand, she's not the kind of person that would take that kind of thing lying down.

[Understatement of the century, there.]
nojohnyouare: Full-body shot in the hall. (i need to make it right)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-12 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't there. So ask them. But there were probably discussions. I think... at the party. They invited all kinds of people.

This is awkward.

There was no way it wasn't going to be. Don't feel bad about it.
nojohnyouare: Passively having her arms held up. (i just can't have tonight)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-12 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Probably. A lot of people here are different versions. Like the Akira. Still dating two people. Just a different two people. ...Ours might have had three. Unsure.

I don't know any Akiras, so I couldn't say...

Dr. Ziegler on the other hand I'm kind of hoping doesn't know me.

[No one deserved Kirei but she probably did less than most.]
nojohnyouare: Feeling self-conscious. (you are the nighttime fear)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. She seems to be a kind person. Dedicated. You recognize her?
plentyfriendly: (phi$ worry)

[personal profile] plentyfriendly 2018-06-12 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You probably figured out from where.

[And that's why she's kind of hoping not, even though it'll be awkward.]
nojohnyouare: Sitting on the steps with her sword. (okay okay okay okay okay)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-06-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. I won't mention it. Probably awkward.
