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.

[Lin was silent while she digested this. She could...unfortunately, believe that humans would do something like that. Her whole world was a testament to how stupid and violent humans could be. They get scared, so they push back against the fear with anger, and then they end up doing something stupid. Even Lin herself had reacted to frustration with uncontrolled violence before.

So Undyne was the last remnant of a people humans had all but wiped out, and here Lin was casually flirting with her, totally oblivious.

Lin drooped.]


...I'm sorry.

If you want, I'll leave you alone.

[What else could she say?]
seafoamgreen: No matter where I face (Nor turn them up to pray.)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-06-15 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I... don't know. I like talking to you? And you seem like you'd be really fun to spar with, and I am trying to get along with humans while I'm here because no one gets home if we're just fighting each other the whole time... but back home fighting would be the whole point, and... arrrrgh.

[Undyne puts her head in her hands and makes a strangled screaming noise of frustration under her breath.]

[Congratulations, you've somehow managed to cross species barriers in order to have the awkward 'I am not in a good enough place mentally to be dating right now, can we still be friends' talk.]
fistsofchange: (Talkin')

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-06-15 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we can be frustrating like that.

[She looked up, very hesitantly.]

So...maybe we can work towards friends, then, instead of working towards...

You know.
seafoamgreen: Too much obsession is stupid (Red as a rose is she)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-06-15 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She peeks out from behind her hands and answers hesitantly:]

That... sounds pretty good.

Thanks.
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-06-15 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[The smile that was never far from Lin's face peeked out, cautiously.]

So...we're cool, then?
seafoamgreen: You are not alone (It felt like a welcoming)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-06-15 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We're cool.

[No you're not, you're both total dorks and this conversation proves it. But maybe you're going to be okay.]
fistsofchange: (Talkin')

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-06-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. That's good.

[Pause.]

I'm...gonna rest a bit more. Maybe I'll come to the party a bit later.
seafoamgreen: Protect the light you believed in (Cannot choose but hear)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-06-16 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, sure. I'll see you there.

[Taking the hint, she stands up and starts to leave. At the door, she pauses and looks back.]

Lin, uh... get well soon, all right?
fistsofchange: (Today is going to be a good day)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-06-16 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine.

[Eventually.]

Go on. Shoo. There's a party downstairs.
seafoamgreen: You are not alone (It felt like a welcoming)

[personal profile] seafoamgreen 2018-06-16 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd better be.

[Her grin is teasing, but it's light and gentle, with no real bite to the words. She turns and leaves, letting Bai Lin recover in private.]

[This situation is now obviously totally resolved, and will surely not come back at some point later to cause ridiculous drama. Of course.]

[That would be silly.]
fistsofchange: (Yang Wei shot someone)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-06-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once she was sure Undyne had left, Lin let the smile drop and just took a few minutes to feel totally bummed out. That was twice now that she'd be summarily shot down, and she was going to get some self pity out of her system before she went downstairs to face other people.]
