INTRO LOG - JUNE 2014
Who: Everyone
Where: The Welcome Center
When: 18th June, late 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. NPC responses may be slow.
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 cool and relieving food and drink, including some you probably aren't familiar with. It's just as well they're in good supply, as the windows outside show a city well heated from a summer sun.
On the wall opposite are a pair of desks, each with a sign, and one person at her station-
Rhea, General Assistance
Andi, Technological Assistance
The plaques have a shiny new look to them, as do the desks. The one with 'Andi' listed appears to be empty, though. Gathered around both desks and several tables are boxes as well, and...Empty jars? The woman minding her desk doesn't appear to give them a second thought.
However, before you can go over and give at least one of 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. The cheerful colors on it match well against a bright 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.

Outside, and through the translucent glass you can see a banner hanging from the tiled roof of the building across the street. The cheerful colors on it match well against a bright blue sky:
(ENJOY YOUR STAY!)
no subject
Wing says softly as he allows himself to be crushed by Drift's enthusiastic hug. He hugs back fiercely too, one arm around Drift's waist, and the other gently touching the back of his head.
Drift is different now. He can see it quite clearly. How long has it been since they've last seen each other? Months? Years? To Wing, it's only been hours. Maybe not even that long. What has changed since the last time they've met? Wing wants to know, and he hopes that Drift will be the one to tell him.
He's not going to let go right now though. Drift needs him here, and he'll stay until Drift himself pulls away.
no subject
"You're just like I remembered. It's been years and years and- so much has happened. I've got so much to tell you. Come on, come. Back to my place, I'll fix you a drink and we can talk. I've got some good news and bad news, but most of all you're back and you know I avenged you, don't you? Because I did. I avenged the hell out of you."
He's already pulling the jet by the arm.
"Oh this is just amazing! You can meet everyone! And you can stay with me, I mean if you want to, but I assume you want to! We can spar together and help the people here and everyone is really going to love you, you can throw me around a room all day but I've gotten much better. Not to say that I couldn't use more training but- oh I bet you could teach me more!"
no subject
He can't remember Drift ever being this chatty. At least, not without a boatload of angst and brooding accompanying it. So far, this has been a drastic improvement. Still, such things do not just vanish. Maybe they'll talk about that later.
But in the meantime.
"1. I'd be happy to go back to your place, and listen to any news you have to offer. 2. You'll have to tell me the whole story. 3. I'd love to know who "everyone" is so that I can meet them! 4. I have no objections to living together. 5. Sparring is great too. I'd like to see if you're able to actually touch me this time. 6. I don't think I need to throw you around anymore, but I'll be happy to do so for old-time's sake. 7. Helping others is what I'm here for. 8.... Hm. There's no 8 actually. I might have gotten a little bit carried away with my numbers."
There, did he get everything?
no subject
Wing does a good job of answering his many questions, and satisfied, Drift grabs his wrist and starts leading him back towards his own home.
"It's settled then! You're coming with me! This is going to be great! Just like old times! I am beyond amazed to see you. I mean you were... you were all dead. I was really broken up about it, everyone was. You had a nice sending off though, Dai Atlas saw to it, and he raised the city for good, but then it- well. I'll get you home and sitting before I get into it. There's a lot to cover."
no subject
Right.
"Drift. Calm down." He commands, reaching out and firmly putting a hand on his friend's shoulder as they walk. He's afraid that Drift will explode right here in the welcome centre, and wouldn't that be a mess for him to clean up. Or maybe he'll get so excited that he'll vibrate up into the stratosphere and Wing will never see him again. He'd write sad songs about it no doubt.
He wants to ask about Dai Atlas, the city, and just about everything else, but he feels like such things should be done in public.
"Please, one thought at a time."
no subject
"Everything you thought I could be. And now you're here and you're just how I remember." He quiets a little at the very least, matching Wing's pace.
"I wish I could say how much it meant."
no subject
"Are you happy, Drift? With your life?" This question might be a bit premature, as he hasn't heard Drift's story yet, but he's curious.
no subject
He opens his mouth, and closes it again. He can't respond.
no subject
He suddenly regrets asking the question. A question like that is simple, yet never really easy to answer. The corners of his mouth turn down and optics dim.
"I'm sorry."
What more is there to say? He hesitates for half a second before wrapping an arm around Drift's waist. Loosely of course, leaving Drift plenty of room to wiggle free if he wants to.
no subject
"I think I'm getting there, though." He mumbles after a minute, resting his head against the white cockpit.
