[ OPEN ] August 2012 Introduction Log

[perfectorder]

Characters: OPEN to new arrivals and NPCS.
Where: En route to Casualty Communal
Rating: Gen
Time: March 12 onwards
Description: Welcome to Death City!


It had been a little over a week since the sandstorm, and thus a little over a week since the last batch of newcomers. When the readings indicated that BREW was activating again so quickly, it was a bit of a scramble to get everything prepared. The last time it activated before then was early February, so this really was a small time frame. It had been some time since that happened.

But everyone dutifully prepared just in time for the first arrivals. It was also a relatively good day despite the past few rain showers. At least things were much calmer now.

[ooc: Player characters will also be joining the log. Everything after the sub thread Soul Perception is open to all characters.

[Thane had also been glad to get business in that room done. Half of it was to have Soul Perception's findings in his head for thinking and planning on, of course, but the rest was less to forget how it had gone on and more to enjoy the outside.

Death City itself is an intriguing sight. It was a city, but more quaint and bold and forward with its very own concentrated, vivid character than the shiny-polished metropoli of, say, the Citadel or Illium. It benefitted there from being smaller, less noise to drown out small touches and hints of interest, even if that meant less space for its population to move through and fewer places to expect to be able to step out of the streets and retreat to in privacy.

As for Nevada, in all of Thane's travels, he hadn't been to Earth before, even if this is a different Earth. And in fact - fate's small favors - this is the first time he's really been to the desert. Along and before the tour, he'd looked out at the enormous sheer open spaces and geometric rocks pooling on out of sight around the city. So much space, and so much air - he'd taken a few deep breaths on his first look out and felt surprisingly clean. Pure and relatively dry air.

He misses the tree-punching, mind you, so forgive the approach, but he does happen on Six, who he thinks he remembers catching a glimpse of in the room, which brings the odd storybook-cultishly-decorated toilet-centered scene back to mind, which would be enough to get an average person's curiosity to sneak in in front of peace of mind.]

...In the Soul Perception room.

Was that - standard procedure?

[sixthdeadliest]

Not usually. Shibusen was short-staffed this time around, so we had to make do. To be honest, Excalibur isn't usually allowed to be in charge of such things.

[He remembers seeing you in there, but he hadn't gotten the chance to talk to you.]

[tributetothesea]

I see.

[Which here is short for "I see why." But the first day is probably a little early to go being critical.

While he's interacting with someone who he may be able to pick up a little more information from...]

If I may ask, are you a Weapon, or a Meister?

[sixthdeadliest]

[He gets it.]

Meister. You?

[tributetothesea]

Weapon.

[Mm. Never mind that, then.]

I will admit I'm looking forward to training. I have combat experience, but this supposed possibility of shapeshifting is new to me.

[sixthdeadliest]

There was one person back where I'm from that could shapeshift parts of his body into various weapons with no ill effects, so it was a little easier for me to get used to the idea here.

[tributetothesea]

Intriguing.

[Not the most rich response there, but, well, it is, especially since it isn't difficult to guess that it's still a special case wherever Six comes from.]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Pretty much. He puts his hand in his pocket.]
