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...

Still-- ]
What's her name?
no subject
[He's still not entirely sure he's worthy of her, but he knows she wouldn't want him to say that. He's trying.]
no subject
[ AKIRA... ]
She sounds amazing. How did you two meet?
no subject
[... He could explain, but honestly, just letting Akira assume this sounds funnier.]
It's a bit of a long story. Before I met her, the Shepherds--that's the army I'm part of--were helping fight off the army of a man called Walhart the Conqueror. There was a resistance force that was... fractured, at best, despite the efforts of Say'ri... the princess of Chon'sin, one of the lands that Walhart had taken. She told us that her people had worshiped the Divine Dragon--and her oracle, Tiki--since ancient times... but Tiki had been imprisoned by Walhart's forces in her own temple. We realized if we freed her, we could give the resistance someone to could rally around.
It was a rough fight, but we finally cleared a path to her shrine... We had to climb so many stairs to get there, but when we did... That was the first time I saw her. [He smiles fondly, closing his eyes.] I'm not the sort to believe in such things, but... it was definitely love at first sight on my end.
no subject
That sounds like something out of a romance novel.
[ His smile is warm, fond... Guess who might like books like that? Whoops. ]
I'm really glad you two found each other. Especially since that brought her freedom.
no subject
[His expression turns a touch sheepish, if only for a moment.]
She didn't directly join up with the Shepherds immediately, that came later. But... when she did... Well. I think it's obvious how close we got. I got no small amount of flak from my sister for getting married before she did. [That's punctuated with a snort.]
no subject
Jealous?
[ Robin's sister, he means. ]
no subject
[It's punctuated with a snicker.]
Or mad that she was the only one left in the singles club.
[He loves his sister, honest.]
no subject
Nothing wrong with that. I was single up until very recently, and it wasn't such a bad thing.
[ A small smile. ]
I imagine it's when you're not really looking, that finding that right person feels the best. As though that's what you were waiting your whole entire life for...
no subject
You can say that again. There's no feeling that can really compare, is there?
no subject
But the smile he gives this time is... warm and gentle. Things are rough sometimes, but... having them makes it all worth the fight and then some. ]
Nothing in the multiverse, honestly. I somehow manage to feel lucky as hell, every day of my life.
no subject
... Which is just even more the case with that smile and what he says next. Robin does like seeing people this much in love; it's always so sweet.]
Heh... I'm glad they're here with you.
