February Intro Log!

Who: Everyone
Where: The Welcome Center
When: 12th February, 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!)

Loki was the last person he wanted to see. Okay, so maybe not the last, but he ranked pretty high up there on his list. Just below HYDRA, honestly. This wasn't the first time he was here and although he didn't cause too many problems, Steve still didn't trust him at all. He'd be a pretty big fool to trust someone that tried to conquer the world.

"Didn't realize you had a big appetite." It was a little odd to see him eat so much, but maybe Asgardians had bigger stomachs than humans. Thor definitely seemed like he had two at least. "Thought about saving any for other arrivals?" Of course, Steve knew the answer to that question, so it was more rhetorical than anything.

That was one time Rogers. Make like Elsa and let it go. Loki has moved past conquering Midgard. It wasn't worth the effort anyway. The Trickster tenses some, remembering the last time they met he was being smashed into Stark floor. How unfortunate it would be to have a repeat of said events. He dons a smirk and shrugs whilst plopping another cube of cheese and sandwich onto his plate. "Not really. I figure they'll be fine."

Why should he care, anyway? He's the one that's hungry. If someone wanted to complain they would and they hadn't yet until Rogers arrived. "If you are that worried you're free to find the kitchens and prepare some more. I'll wait."

He still wasn't quite sure if this Loki remembered his previous time here. He didn't have his shield on him either, so he was at a pretty big disadvantage if Loki decided to attack him. The Asgardian was strong, he remembered that well. Even if he greatly improved on his fighting style since then, it wouldn't be easy.

Steve didn't look amused by Loki's comment. "Rather just keep an eye out here." But despite his earlier words, he didn't make any movement to snatch the food away from Loki. "Do you remember this city at all?" He wasn't quite sure why he was really conversing with him, but Steve thought he should at least know that he was here before.

Hm, not much for jokes, is he? Loki popped one of the cheese squares into his mouth and leaned up against the table. If there weren't the promise of food here he may have already left. The last headache he needs is Captain America. "Of course you would." He replies dismissively.

His gaze actually shifts up to meet Rogers' this time, a small semblance of confusion visible. "Should I?" As far as he is aware he hasn't been here before. He would remember such a plush little hideout that is trying desperately to make newcomers comfortable. No matter how welcoming the staff is one does not turn a blind eye to abduction and the written notice saying that he is needed for whatever cause they want taken care of.

Loki's expression and question confirmed his suspicions. He doubted that Loki would try to lie about something like this. It wouldn't benefit him for one. The decent thing to do now was to tell him the truth about this and luckily, Steve was all about trying to do what was right.

"This isn't your first stay here." It wasn't too uncommon for people to lose their memories of this place. It's happened to others and heck, Steve had his memories taken from him before. "You were here months ago."

Why is it that he gets the distinct impression this will happen more than once while he's here? He isn't concerned with the fact that he has visited this world before. That information is immaterial. What he desires to know is how much do they all know about him?

That will become a logistical problem should he choose to lie about any details concerning himself they may already know. He frowns in contempt. "I could tell by the less than warm welcome." He toys with another cheese cube but thinks better of it and goes for a small sandwich.

Real food is fantastic. Just saying. "What came of me then?" He would really like to know if they killed him or something which resulted in his disappearance. He isn't in the mood to pick fights. Thanks, self, for causing trouble before he even got here (again).

"Everyone gets the same welcome, Loki." Steve wondered if he was expecting for a red carpet to be rolled out for him.

"You were just sent back home." Well, that was the assumption that Steve made anyway. It wasn't like he really followed Loki around, he didn't really have the time to do that. He sorta was all about the punishment coming after the crime anyway. Of course, he was always going to be wary and would stop him if he knew he was up to no good.
