Intro Log - March 2014
Who: Everyone
Where: The Welcome Center
When: 18th March, afternoon
Summary: The new arrivals, freshly pulled from their worlds or others, awaken in a strange place...
Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk. SOME NPC RESPONSES WILL BE SLOW UNTIL THE ONE WHO PLAYS THEM IS PRESENT.
It's a shuddering breath, a sensation of being pulled to elsewhere and finding oneself pressed against something on the soft and some place cozy. However, before one can fully stir, there is and odd, warm stirring sensation that lifts you up from wherever you've been dropped, when you begin to drift off once more.
Yet the feeling passes quickly, and when you awaken, you begin to realize your surroundings. It's a small room with what some might recognize as a Far Eastern theme when it comes to decor, from the walls to the sofa (or bed) you find yourself on. Illumination is provided by carefully crafted lamps, and even a candle flickering on a nearby desk. The doors are made from paper and wood, with a thin frame; through them it's easy to hear other people stirring, talking, or coming to.
You are not alone...
Close at hand there's a note that reads:
WELCOME CENTER
Newcomers: Please come downstairs to the lobby for refreshments and your welcome packets!
Odd... This wasn't written in your own language, and yet you find it easily understandable. Soon enough, if you don't enter on your own, there's a gentle knocking on the door as someone comes from downstairs to usher you along.
"Welcome to Saeng Seong! I know you must be confused as to where you are and what's going on, but we promise to explain this to you once you've had a chance to stretch your legs!"
Whether you go downstairs immediately or linger a little longer, eventually you must come down and get out of the small space, and sooner rather than later would probably be better. You'll find yourself in a well-lit lobby, filled with comfortable-looking couches and chairs. Along one wall are refreshment tables, loaded with all sorts of warming, comforting food and drink, including some you probably aren't familiar with. On the wall opposite are a pair of desks, each with a sign and a person seated behind them -
Irene, General Assistance
Devin, Technological Assistance
Unlike a few waves before, the only people in charge seem to be the people behind the desks. They look a bit busy.
However, before you can go over and give them a piece of your mind and ask questions, the same person who ushered you downstairs hands you a manilla envelope that contains your welcome packet, urging you to read this before asking the two figures questions that the packet likely answers.
Inside it, you will find: a ring with a key and apartment number on it, some kind of cash card, a map and informational guide to the city, and a letter folded neatly on the top -
Outside, and through the translucent glass you can see a banner hanging from the tiled roof of the building across the street. It's looking bright against a mostly blue sky:

Welcome to Saeng Seong!
You are among a new group of arrivals to our city, from many far-apart worlds.
We have gathered you here because our city is in a crisis, and we are at our last resorts. The energy of the city is in a slow downward spiral, and is dangerously close to expiring altogether.
That's where you come in - you and everyone else we've brought to the city. Unlike those of us here, you have the potential to generate the energy the city needs, but you'll need to work together to do it.
Why? Because the energy can only be generated when two people touch each other. Any touch will do, but it must be between two of you who are new to the city. If you don't keep in contact with someone, eventually your energy will begin to drain as well, making you dangerously ill.
A few other things:
The closed-off sections of the city are closed off for a reason; approaching them will cause your energy to drain very rapidly. We're working to open the rest of the city to you as soon as we can, but for now, please remain within the first five districts of the city.
You have been given a key to a one-bedroom apartment in a complex set aside for you and the other new arrivals, near the riverside in the 1st district. You're free to change your living quarters whenever you like, and we encourage you to move in with someone in one of the larger apartments. When you want to change, just come back to this building to exchange your key.
We've also included a cash card with a living stipend; if you're unfamiliar with this system, or the network established for new arrivals, you can talk to Devin in the lobby for help. It's what he's here for. If you need medical assistance, contact Mai, one of our nurses.
Again, welcome, and thank you for all your help.

Arrival Liaison

Outside, and through the translucent glass you can see a banner hanging from the tiled roof of the building across the street. It's looking bright against a mostly blue sky:
(ENJOY YOUR STAY!)
no subject
Saber glances around as they come to the first corner of the grand apartment buildings. As she takes in the surroundings, her sword disappears from her hands so she can examine the map with both hands.
"Which building are you in, Marth? I think this is building 4."
no subject
"Perhaps they have chosen to save you from it, in order to give you another chance. For time has passed here since we arrived. The sun in the sky has moved, and now dwindles. Night will be upon us soon. The same amount time must have passed where we have come from, for any world simply cannot stop without us." For him, it was a cruel thing to be away from a unit which needed him. Away from a country that needed him. But for her... perhaps it wasn't that cruel, that considered. As for the children - he couldn't even offer anything. He was as clueless as to how that could logically happen as her. They would have to explain to her. For they would know. Of course they would.
"Mine is building two, the same as yours..." He responded, perhaps a little distantly. "According to your map, it is not far. This direction..." Of course, his tone was distant because he was still thinking about her predicament. Death was a painful thing to him. His advisors, his aides, his tacticians, even his sister looked down upon him for how he let it get to him, yet it was something he simply could not help. He'd seen it - of course he had. Repeatedly, often. but it got worse, every time. So much so, that he was unable to hide his concern. Even if this knight was a stranger to him.
"Forgive me, but you... stated that you knew you were to die. If everyone's death truly is the end of a chapter, and this world has indeed spared you it, when you return you will have your life... and opportunity to continue with it. Won't you?"
no subject
"Perhaps. I am not sure how the rules of this .. city works. When I was summoned before, I was always pulled from that exact moment and then taken back there afterwards," Saber starts, thinking about it as they make their way towards Building 2. "I need no other chance. The only reason I was summoned before, was because I could not accept how things were. Now.. I have."
The Grail War and its system worked in unique ways, so she definitely did not expect it to work the exact same with Saeng Seong.
"I suppose we will figure out how this all works with time."
Saber stops in front of Building 2, looking up to it. After a moment, her gaze moves back to Marth. She can't help but wonder if he will be at ease in his new apartment, since it will likely all seem very strange to him.
"I have been told that the devices that allow us to communicate can be located throughout buildings. One of the young boys said that you are not able to get a device for yourself, but I plan on looking into that further tomorrow. I am in 2-15 if you would like to visit, however."
no subject
"I am sure we will find out in the coming days. It makes no sense to conceal things from us - not when they view us as helpers." ....However rude just plucking them out of their worlds actually was. However catastrophic the outcome of doing so. He paused, brows furrowing when she spoke of acceptance. "Forgive the abruptness of this question, but... how can you truly accept your death?" He genuinely didn't understand, and the fact he couldn't made it come forth without much delicateness.
"Oh, thank you, Saber. That is most kind." He responded, as they came to the apartment block in question. He'd see her inside of it, but he thought he'd walk back to the arrivals building before entering himself. Mainly because he was still in disbelief about none of his allies, who were right next to him, being taken as well. And after all, a wasted journey was far better than actually missing any of them.
no subject
Stepping up to the main doors of the building, she looked to the doors and then back to Marth.
"You seem restless; perhaps, it is best if you go see what else you can learn. For me, a night to think and adjust is definitely in order."
Bowing her head politely, Saber then nods once more in a sort of good-bye confirmation. The knight turns, opens the door, and enters. Not expecting him to follow after, she lets the door close.
