IC INTRO - MARCH

Sometime after the showdown, those with communication devices from the station will all get a collective message -

Okay, everyone come back! We might need to do a final sweep or two of the beach, but it looks like most of the Fissure is stabilized! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Everybody go ahead and come back up - and bring anyone else you found with you! I know I saw a couple new faces on the drone cameras. (*・▽・*)

Also, if you get a chance, check out the new door leading out of the residential area! It's a surprise for all your hard work. (´◕ ◡ ◕`) There's also food in the kitchens if you're hungry and want something warm!


With that in mind, grab your new friends and go ahead and come on back.

STATION EXTERIOR

Upon returning to the station, the first thing most will probably see is Up, standing on the rooftop to congratulate everyone on a mission accomplished and also handle any questions the new arrivals might have that haven't gotten answered yet. They stand tall and graceful beside the ramp... Most of the time. Occasionally, one might catch them trying not to fidget with the belt that now hangs fashionably askew on their hips.

For those who want to seek out the surprise Charm promised, there's a second ramp leading down off the far side of the roof, as well as the door he mentioned on the network. Both lead to the shiny new viewing deck, with its mismatched furniture, half-roof, and view of the beach.

Charm himself is here, long android limbs spread across one of the lounge chairs as he fiddles with one of the wind element crystals in his lap. It occasionally reacts and blasts the tails of his red scarf in random directions, but he doesn't seem to mind.

STATION INTERIOR

Those adventuring to the kitchens will find that there are four large pots arranged in a line beneath a set of heat lamps on the stove. Three contain curry - labeled "mild," "spicy," and "the fire of a thousand suns" in neat handwriting - while the last contains plain rice. An assortment of mismatched bowls and utensils sit on the counter nearest the pots. (Welcome to Keystone Station, you'll have an easier time finding matching cutlery at your local Goodwill.)

In the common room, meanwhile, the boxes of clothes and trading post are set up again. Those who investigate something fluffy in a particular box on the end of the couch may discover a girl and friend taking a nap...

Then please organize for myself and Miss Iris to be sent back to where we belong.

[ Coming from someone else, that might've sounded a little rude or demanding, but Violet says it so calmly and so straightforwardly that it's hard to read any real aggression into it. ]

... is Miss Iris also present? I haven't been able to find her.

We're doing the best we can. Unfortunately, it will take some time.

[We're trying Violet, please don't get mad...]

...And I confess that I'm not aware of anyone by that name here.

Miss Iris Cannary. The two of us were travelling together by train prior to my arrival here.

[ But she's starting to feel a little deflated. It looks like she really is here by herself. ]

Is there any particular reason as to why the two of us were not brought here together?

No more than there is a reason why you would be.

[A brief, awkward pause.]

I'm sorry.

Why is an apology necessary?

[ Again, coming from someone else, that would have been curt or rude, but the slight crease of her brow takes some of the sting out of it. ]

If you were not responsible for bringing us here to the station, then there is no need for you to apologize.

[What a day, when the android does human better than the human.

There's no judgement, though, because learning to people is hard, and Up has a digital memory and still remembers the early days in perfect clarity.]


It isn't necessary. But I still feel that I should, because it's unfortunate that you're here alone, without your friend.

[personal profile] shiritai 2018-03-25 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ After a moment of contemplating this, she simply dips her head in acknowledgement. Perhaps that's what Iris had meant. ]

Then I will thank you for your concern -- though it should be said that Miss Iris and myself are coworkers, not friends.

[ Apparently this is a distinction that needs to be made...? ]
personalityquarks: (Up)

[personal profile] personalityquarks 2018-03-27 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. But you're still concerned about her, aren't you?

[Isn't that what friends do?]

I'm concerned what President Hodgins may think if Miss Iris were to return to the office without me.

[ It's sort of impossible to tell if that's a yes or a no. ]

With a little luck, we should be able to restore you to where and when you were taken from. But that may not be for some time yet.

[Let us hope.]
