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.

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?]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[She looked up, very hesitantly.]
So...maybe we can work towards friends, then, instead of working towards...
You know.
no subject
That... sounds pretty good.
Thanks.
no subject
[The smile that was never far from Lin's face peeked out, cautiously.]
So...we're cool, then?
no subject
[No you're not, you're both total dorks and this conversation proves it. But maybe you're going to be okay.]
no subject
[Pause.]
I'm...gonna rest a bit more. Maybe I'll come to the party a bit later.
no subject
[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?
no subject
[Eventually.]
Go on. Shoo. There's a party downstairs.
no subject
[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.]
