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:]

[Nod.]

A planet founded on food. The recipes there... Overkill. I learned some.
fistsofchange: (Crap!)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-01 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
That's a real place!?
nojohnyouare: Opening a door. (mayday mayday)

A pirate colony. In trouble. But it exists. ...Is that bad.
fistsofchange: (Yang Wei shot someone)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-01 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...not sure. I'll have to think about how I feel about this new knowledge.
nojohnyouare: Looking out a window. ('cause it's so easy)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
...Space is confusing. And unbelievable. Don't worry.
fistsofchange: (Talkin')

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-01 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Your words are wise, Mai. Thank you.

nojohnyouare: Looking to the side. (to say it to you)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-01 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives a serious nod.]

If you hear about what happened three years ago for us on Earth... Also true. But ridiculous.
fistsofchange: I'm going to get us involved again (I promise I won't get us involved again)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-01 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm almost scared to ask but what happened three years ago for you on Earth?
nojohnyouare: Blushing and holding Sayuri's hand. (oh you make everything okay)

[She doesn't seem to want to say any time soon. Her face is slowly turning red, however.]
fistsofchange: (Hey baby)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-02 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Come oooooonnn. You can't just leave me hanging like that!
nojohnyouare: Wary and angry. (and would you leave me)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-02 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Rebellion that freed the planet. A few years before the future we were taken to. ..."The Boner Uprising of 6969."
fistsofchange: Wu was getting pretty ripe... (Hot diggity!)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
The-

[BRB laughing uncontrollably.]

...The what?
fistsofchange: I'm going to get us involved again (I promise I won't get us involved again)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-02 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I would have liked to see that!
nojohnyouare: Staring ahead. (and wash away my colours)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-02 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Some people would agree. Although it was strange to hear about. I came from 1999. The future... Confusing.
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-02 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
If we're on the same calendar, I'm from 2152. 6969 would still be pretty darn far in the future.
nojohnyouare: Sitting on the steps with her sword. (okay okay okay okay okay)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-02 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Different food there?
fistsofchange: (Nothing about this makes sense)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2018-05-02 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. What was food like in 1999? Or 6969?
nojohnyouare: Hair dramatically blowing in the wind. (you want to get it right)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-02 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Varied. But... Both had pizza.
