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...

...I hope so, as well. I'd barely explained my disappearance to my friends, and I certainly hadn't made any new excuses for being gone to my mother. I was expecting to stay for at least a few days.

[And yes, he can imagine how the other Akira would take Goro vanishing again. Kurama sighs a little and rests his head against Goro's.]

[He rests his hand against Kurama's cheek, giving a light kiss to his lips.]

I'll help you come up with something, if need be. I could easily claim a sudden personal emergency I needed your help with.
byanyother_name: (Kisses~)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-03-25 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurama nuzzles into the touch subtly, eyes closing as he returns the soft kiss.]

Mm, yes, but if time is continuing to pass, then she's left to worry until we return with that claim. Or is this just your way of angling for an introduction to my mother?

[It is much easier to tease his boyfriend than talk seriously about this.]
foolishjustice: (Strange isn't it?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-03-28 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I should meet her eventually. But...probably not until everything's resolved in my own world.

I think the best we can do for now, though, is help the androids research the Fissures. That seems to be our best bet for getting home.
byanyother_name: (Wait what?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-03-29 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. That was...a serious response. Please ignore the slow spread of red across Kurama's cheeks? Apparently a heart that doesn't beat can still flutter.

It takes him a second to remember breathing again.]

Ah- Yes. I agree.
foolishjustice: (Shall I explain?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-03-29 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he doesn't get to see Kurama blush much...it's cute. He tilts his head to give Kurama a kiss, then turns back to his tablet.]

I spoke somewhat with Up-san when we returned. They said something interesting about people's arrival through the Fissures.

[Shush... It's embarrassing to be blushing at his age. But kisses are always welcome and Kurama returns it before resting his head against Goro's shoulder.]

Oh? And what would that be?
foolishjustice: (This better not be decaf...)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-04-01 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...rather concerning, actually. I expressed worry to Up-san that others might be stranded in Fissures other than the one we explored, and he assured me that they could detect a large energy disturbance when people appeared. The strange part is that they hadn't detected anything like that until we went back into the Fissure.
byanyother_name: (How is this my life?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2018-04-06 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
That...is concerning.

[He pretty immediately grasps the potential implications. Kurama frowns, fingers tapping against the couch.]

One time hardly establishes a pattern, but if the same thing happens in the next Fissure... That gives rise to questions about our arrival, however.
