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:]

[Welp.]
I think it's about time you get some rest. You don't want to faint and collapse into the pizza.
no subject
[Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.]
no subject
[Arianna, hon.]
no subject
[She frowns.]
Did you?
no subject
You humans do need that to live, you know.
no subject
[Arianna, you're going in circles now.]
I am not a child who requires a bedtime.
no subject
You're very stubborn, you know that?
no subject
[...she mumbles.]

[...]
Would you like some pizza?
no subject
No, that's alright. I think that's better appreciated by everyone else here.
no subject
[She's not really helping her case, is she?]
no subject
We all should.
[Well, maybe not him, since he literally does not need sleep. But the rest of you fleshier people.]
no subject
[No she won't. She'll fall asleep in a hallway and scare Mai.]
no subject
[Turns out he really shouldn't have. Lesson learned, trust is garbage.]
The forest was rather draining for everyone, I believe. I... hope you didn't run into too much trouble.
no subject
Not... trouble, exactly.
no subject

no subject
[He doesn't need to ask more, because he knows it can't have been good. The forest hadn't been kind to any of them.]
...I'm sorry.
no subject
no subject
Which is difficult in its own way, of course. But safe.
no subject
[What if she was in the forest, and they missed her?]
no subject
I'm sure that she's safe.
no subject
[Heart's certainty is easier to believe in than her own attempts at using the same reasoning.]
Do you suppose she is with Ruu-chan?
no subject
That's good to keep in mind, right? Neither of them are completely alone right now.
