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:]

Oh. I haven't, but you could ask my dad? Tall guy, his name's Ardyn, if you explain the situation he might be able to kit you out with something at least to practice with.

[He holds up a finger.]

Probably shouldn't be training with live steel at this level, right? We just started out.

That makes sense.

[ She nods, takes another bite of her pizza, and goes away from the counter. In fact she drifts right past Junpei, and is halfway to the door before she turns back around with a realisation. Maybe this kid is too dumb to murder.]

Ah- did you need something?

Nothing in particular. Just investigating our temporary abode.

[He remembers those podiums plaguing her. He won't bring up traps and cameras if she won't, but he's not going to hide what he's come from, either.]

It's a pretty big place. They don't have game systems… but there're live chickens and plants.
misanthropicprinciple: (This reminds me of a puzzle.)

I saw one of those arcade dance machines in a meeting room upstairs, actually. So at least there's that.

[ Her eyes go wide, and after a long moment of trancelike staring… she immediately just speedwalks for it. She even trips once on the way out, but thankfully doesn't fall.

Chiaki left the room in a hurry. If you can figure out where she’s headed, you might catch her again...]

[Junpei snickers and follows at a normal walking pace, though he does call after her:]

It's Meeting Room 3 on the top floor before the roof!

[Follow follow.]

[When Junpei gets to the meeting room he'll find her already on the machine, facing the door with her hands on the guard rail. She waited for him to catch up! ]

Hey, do you want to play with me?

[Obtained Hope Fragment!]

Absolutely, Game Girl. You won't judge me if I stick to the standard level, will you? My legs aren't as young as they used to be.

[Junpei you are t w e n t y - t h r e e]
