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:]

So instead of responding right away, Yuuri leans over so she can slide her arms around him and press her face into his shoulder. ]
... I'm glad you're here, Junpei.
[ Even though they shouldn't be – even though they should be at home where they belong – she doesn't want to even imagine what sort of a mess she'd be, having to do this alone. So long as the others are here, she can handle just about anything. ]
no subject
[He holds her and rocks her gently, pressing another kiss to the crown of her head.
Man. She doesn't deserve this.]
Would've taken a damn long time to track you down the traditional dimension-jumping way, but you know I would, right? I'm glad whatever brought us here saved me the trouble.
no subject
[ Because it's just what they do. But it still makes her feel better to hear it. A little more centered and a little more willing to settle and at least deal with being here. ]
We'll work something out, won't we? I'm sure we can put our heads together and come up with something. And in the meantime, I'll just have to make sure I keep an eye on you.
no subject
[He slides his hands down to take hers, grinning just to make her smile in return.]
Clearly, there's no reason for you to keep an eye on me except to ogle my body. Scandalous, ojou-san. Purely lascivious.
no subject
Well, when you say it like that, you make it sound like you're complaining. I'm not saying that's what I'm doing, but if it was, are you telling me you'd mind?
[ you're RIGHT IN THE DOORWAY, YOU IDIOTS ]
no subject
[He says as he s c a n d a l o u s l y nuzzles and then kisses down a length of her hair, from crown to cheek to neck.]
no subject
[ She says that, but she doesn't make any move to stop him, of course. And she doesn't sound anything other than fond and amused. She just leans in, resting her cheek against his head and giving his hands a squeeze. ]
no subject
[He lifts his head once more to kiss just above her eyes.]
It's going to be all right, Yuuri. I'll do everything I can to prove it to you, so keep watching. I've got you; so does Dad and Arianna and everyone else, but whenever you need to remember you're going to be okay, I want you to look at me. Because I'll be looking at you.
no subject
Right. Even if things do turn upside down, there's no way it won't be alright in the end. ]
Okay.
[ She gives him a smile and then pulls herself up a bit, just a little more businesslike than she was before. If Junpei's going to do his best to handle all this in his way, then Yuuri has to do her best too. ]
I'll go see about picking out a pair of rooms for us, then. If anyone's put theirs down already, I'll try and make sure we're all close together.
That way, once you're done looking around, you'll have a room all ready for you to come back to and crash. How does that sound?
no subject
[He squeezes her hands gently.]
We'll all take care of one another, like always. Keep an eye on everybody for me while I sweep the building, all right?
no subject
[ she has an Armiger full of Many Swords and she isn't afraid to use it. ]
