January Intro Log

Who: Everyone
Where: The Welcome Center
When: 12th December, early 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.

'I'm sorry for this... but we need your help.'

Yet the feeling -and the voice - pass quickly, and when you awaken, you begin to realize your surroundings. It's a small room with what some might recognize as something akin to 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 red 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...

On a small table beside you, there rests a note atop a manilla envelope (that oddly enough is enscribed with your name). Unfolding the note will reveal some answers in the form of a letter addressed to all arrivals.

Inside the manilla envelope , 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 second letter folded neatly on the top.

Odd... Neither were written in your own language, and yet you find it easily understandable. Soon enough, if you don't make an exit 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 or upset as to what's going on, but we promise to explain further once you've had a chance to stretch your legs!"

Whether you go downstairs immediately or linger a little longer, eventually you must come on down to leave 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 warm and filling food and drink, including some you probably aren't familiar with. It's just as well they're in good supply, as rain is pouring outside with no sign of relenting. During this time of the year, it's definitely something to leave a chill in the bones. Perhaps picking up a rain coat by the desks on the other side of the room might be a good idea. Who knows? You may just find something suspiciously in your size!

Speaking of those desks, two ladies seem eager to answer any questions you may have, names and positions conveniently written on signs on their desk.

Irene, General Assistance
Andi, Technological Assistance

Outside, and through the heavy rain and translucent glass you can see a banner hanging from the tiled roof of the building across the street. The deep autumnal colors on it match the welcoming (though rather damp) atmosphere as the letters proclaim:

WELCOME TO SAENG SEONG
(ENJOY YOUR STAY!)

"Could that be how they got me before?..."

It never occurred to him that staying in the government-offered housing might be a bad idea. It's a little embarrassing in retrospect.
heismymission: turns out most things are not bulletproof (e: that looks nasty)

"It's possible." He lets his gaze wander as he thinks. He wouldn't be surprised if they used whatever methods available to them to take people. They might not even have to physically be there--they sure didn't when bringing them to this place.
eternalcutie: monopoly (i'm just saying.)

"Then...maybe I should..."

No, he can't be this indecisive in front of someone like Bucky. Especially now that he knows he's not a child, it's only going to make him look ridiculous. Czes gives himself a little shake and regains his confident bearing.

"Well, if you really don't mind I might take you up on that offer. I'm sure I can make it up to you somehow, I'm not without talents of my own."
heismymission: some kind of newfangled gadget??? (d: what am i looking at)

"You don't owe me anything."

As much as he's been trying to be like a "normal" person, he still doesn't see himself as one who gets favors in return for his efforts. Doing things for others is what he does. HYDRA's reward for him had been the absence of punishment, and he doesn't expect anything more than that.

He gestures away from the welcome center with his head before turning to walk that way.

"Follow me."

Czes doesn't believe that for a second, largely because of his trust issues the size of the Antarctic, but he shrugs it off for now. Just because someone says they don't want anything doesn't mean they won't ask for a favor later on, after all.

"All right."
