INTRO LOG - APRIL/MAY 18
Eventually, Charm starts herding people towards the parked exploratory drone, a few at a time, mostly people who have finished their noodles or other business. "It's almost nightfall at the Station," he says, "and with this many new arrivals, we're going to have to make multiple trips."
(For those who might ask, he also explains that they've chosen not to stabilize the noodle shop for the time being, as the other androids will almost certainly want to speak to Viella, and have no other way of doing so, due to the fact that they don't dream. Aside from that small region, the Fissure is largely stable.)
It in fact takes four trips total to get everyone to the Station. Those of you who don't fall asleep on the way there - the minute you hit stable reality, the inability to sleep vanishes, and most will be hit with a wave of exhaustion - will find that the Station Annex, a building off to the side of the main station, has been finished, at least outwardly.
By the time the first group arrives, the sun is dipping towards the horizon; by the time the last gets there, it's set, leaving a few pink-tinted clouds in the sky. The drones drop everyone off (and that is everyone, even though of you who have fallen asleep) on the observation deck, where those of you who didn't get your fill of noodles will find several buffet-style tables set up with...
...Pizza? Yeah, pizza, in damn near every variety you can think of, including a few things that only loosely fall under the heading of "pizza." Half a table is full of calzones of various varieties; another significant chunk is things that are just desserts in the general shape of pizza, including a couple of iced cinnamon pastries, a pair of brightly-colored "pizzas" made of canned fruit over cream cheese, and a two-layer cake that's just decorated to look like a pizza, with strawberry jam and round slices of strawberry 'pepperoni' sandwiching yellow icing. Finally, the last third of the third table is just three baskets of breadsticks with varying amounts of cheese and garlic, accompanied by two turrens of dipping sauce (one white, one red) and a tower of little plastic dipping cups.
(Those who opt to head directly to bed will find that the banquet gets packed up and moved back to the kitchens around midnight, though it stays warm under a stasis enchantment for roughly the next day before someone packs the remainder into the fridge.)
In the common room, meanwhile, the usual boxes of clothes and trading post sign are set up. Unclaimed rooms can be claimed by writing your name in on a list set up next to the boxes, on what seems to be a broken music stand with a large ROOMS AVAILABLE sign hanging from it. There is also a rather hastily assembled, hand-poked Braille version of the sheet (with the paper punched through in one or two places).
Those who go looking will find that the androids are somewhat more absent than they usually are after an expedition; save obviously for Charm, and Strange who arrives on the deck as usual not long after, you'll have to go looking. Considering the amount of the station you have available, they could be just about anywhere... But perhaps it'd be worth checking over in that new building...?
[Mod note: Strange is the only NPC with a top-level this round, but others may respond to your top-levels, especially in the Annex areas! Consider it a fun surprise. c:]

Didn't I see you sleeping around here earlier? Do you not have a room yet?
no subject
[Why bother going back to his room when there are perfectly comfortable places to sleep right here.
Eventually he grabs a slice of pepperoni and starts on that. Mostly because it's closest to him.]
no subject
[Between teeth and paws, Morgana liberates a piece of sausage pizza, holding it daintily between his front paws as he starts to eat. This is fine, right? It's easier to talk while on the table than on the floor, anyway.]
no subject
[He is too tired to care. Time to cram a pizza in his face hole.]
no subject
[After all, he's just tired, not actively traumatized. Big difference!]
no subject
[Said around a mouth full of pizza before swallowing, as a realization very belatedly hits him.]
You're... Goro's friend, right? Need to talk to you later.
[It occurs to him that if he got a name, he doesn't remember it.]
no subject
[He's..... not sure what to call them, honestly. Are they friends? Does Akechi want to be friends? If he went by that..... that battle, then the answer is clearly, decidedly no. Akechi had given up all hope of friendship and happiness. But..... this isn't that Akechi. He's from another world entirely. He's formed bonds, and gained new strength, and..... even found love. So maybe.....
Well, he'll have to wait and see how that all shakes out. He'll at least ask Akechi about whoever this guy is, anyway.]
What do you need to talk about?
no subject
[He takes another bite of pizza before going for another drink from his mug... before realizing that it's empty.
Frown. Dismiss mug, summon a glass of juice instead.]
no subject
[Palaces being mentioned snaps him to attention; he's clearly being talked to in an official Phantom Thieves capacity here. Palace stuff is way too important to discuss while half asleep.
What snags his interest almost as much, though, is the way Izunia's summoning and unsummoning drinks like that. Does he..... also have that new power Akechi does? Is he just pulling things out of an inventory? Excuse him as he watches you intently in an effort to figure things out.]
no subject
...He has details. M' a mess.
[That's. A surely effective explanation. Of things that are relevant.]
no subject
[I mean, you're not wrong, but. He didn't mean that kind of mess, Mona.....]
no subject
[Just going to cram food into his face to the time being. Thinky thoughts later.
He does pick a few pieces onto a plate to eat later, though, and that vanishes into his Armiger.]
no subject
[LOOKING AT YOU, AKIRA. His scrutiny relaxes significantly when he sees the pizza stowed away, though; that probably means he just has an inventory, not weird healing drink powers the way Akechi does. Much more understandable!
BRB wandering over to investigate the Japanese pizzas. Maybe one with tuna, shrimp, and octopus?]
no subject
[He yawns, and takes another bite of his pizza.]
Going there, I think. Goodnight.
no subject
[Morgana waves a paw, and privately hopes that Akechi actually knows this zombie's name so he can ask about him. Sure, they'll probably talk later, when the guy is slightly more coherent--but it's always better to be prepared!]
