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.

Alright. [She pulls back, and turns to one of the supply cupboards.] Let me get you some antiseptic for those scrapes, but otherwise I think we can declare you to be in good health.

Mm, thank you. Have things been busy in here?
dubiouslychthonic: (you did not just say that)

Not unmanageably so, but busier than last time. I think after the forest, most folks just needed sleep. We've got more cuts and bruises this time, and several people with varying degrees of vision damage.

[She sighs, pulling out a tube of antiseptic and a package of sterile bandages.] Honestly I'm more worried by the fact that Strange still hasn't shown up.

Vision damage? What in the world happened?

[Someone wasn't present for the fight apparently.]

That is pretty worrying... Come to think of it, I didn't see Charm when I looked in on the magic lab, either...

It seems the monster that we encountered in the lighthouse this afternoon had a vulnerability to light-based magic, and someone managed to light it up enough to cause some collateral damage. [Sigh. Is sensory-based friendly fire just going to be a thing with this group? She really hopes not.] I don't think anyone's taken any permanent harm, but there's a few whose vision hasn't cleared yet.

[She frowns as she patches up the worst of his scrapes, although it's his words that worry her, not his injuries.] I hope everything's ok. I mean, I have to assume that if there'd been some kind of crisis here at the station, we'd see some sign of it other than missing androids. And Up did send the recall message.

... Is this going to happen every time one of these fights happen? Hearing last time, sight this one... I know they say it's thrice that's a pattern, but... [Anyway.] At least nobody's suffered permanent damage.

I hope so too. If something has happened, I imagine we'll find out soon enough at any rate.

[Jetshard sighs, and nods.] Soon enough.

Well, I think you're in good enough shape to be getting on with as long as the headache doesn't come back.

[personal profile] matchmakes 2018-06-16 02:30 am (UTC)(link)

I'll let you know if it does. Thank you... Jetshard, right?
dubiouslychthonic: (Smile)

[personal profile] dubiouslychthonic 2018-06-16 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's correct. And you're Robin? I know I've seen you and your sister around. [The alternian word she uses for "sister" doesn't quite have the same connotations that human languages would; trolls don't usually do siblings, and it's closer to a term for a fellow member of a fraternal organization than a term for a blood relative.]

Yes, that's right. She and I have been around for a while... though I try to not be as much of a stranger to the medbay as she does.

[And by that he means 'sensibly come in to get checkups when needed' and not, you know. Regularly get injured.]
