ARRIVAL LOG - First Wave

[evercyclic]

Who; EVERYONE! What; The new residents of HQ make their arrival! Where; All unrestricted areas of HQ (and maybe some restricted areas, you naughty people) When; July 24th, Mid-morning on Warnings; None as of yet, can be changed if content changes IT'S A MINOR BLIP IN TIME Maybe you were showering, or sleeping, having breakfast. You might have been participating in your morning commute or fighting off a horde of zombies. Whatever you were in the middle of, a strange sensation of disconnection comes over you, as though you're watching your life on screen, a passive audience to the proceedings. It's almost like, well, being sucked down the drain like every adolescent nightmare, the feeling of disconnection replaced quickly with a pain so deep, it's as though every atom of your being is pressed too closely together, and your vision goes dark. Then, just as quickly as the pain came over it, it's gone, reality snapping back into place like a stretched rubber band. WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY When your eyes adjust, you find yourself in a slightly spartan room, standing on a platform that seems to be made of glass or some sort of crystal. Energy currents in blues and greens swirl within it, dizzying and hypnotizing if stared at for too long. You're shocked from the vision by a cheery, bubbly voice that belongs to a petite brunette grinning at you from the base of the steps that lead down from the platform. She apologizes for any inconvenience you may have been caused, and hands you a small package, explaining that inside you'll find a phone, a directory of locations within the complex you've arrived in, a charge card with a balance of $500, and a key to a room in the dormitories which can be reached by following the green line on your directory. She apologizes again for how confusing this must all be, but assures you that everything will make sense soon! OOC NOTES: Feel free to hit up any of the NPC starters, start your own threads under any of the locations provided, or start your own threads independent of the starters! Prose or brackets are welcomed! Once characters leave the Receiving Room, they will have full access to the Network, and you're free to post there as well!

Re: RECEIVING BAY | NPC: Airy

Zack was unsure of what was going on. He realized that the clothes that she had returned with were someone else’s. He had several questions running through his head. Like whom the clothes belonged to and why he was not allowed in this hallway.

Zack slightly squinted “Ok?”

He had decided that the best option was to just follow her lead and hope he did not get in to trouble.

RECEIVING BAY | NPC: Airy

This hallway was obviously a place where people lived. This was after all Airy's room that she'd lead him too though he'd only have to ask to learn more. Airy was open and happy to answer any question to the best of her abilities.

"You squint a lot, do you know that?" She smiled at him as she lead him down the hall. She paused in front of a bathroom waving a hand at the sign that says 'mens'

"Do you want me to wait out here? The cafeteria is down that way and the dorms are next to it. If you head that way..." She pointed to the north side of the hall. "You'll hit the receiving bay again and then the forest."

"Did you say forest?"

Even though Zack had pulled the map out he hadn’t had a chance to look it over yet. Zack pulled the map back out and read over the descriptions of the locations that Airy had just mentioned. He was surprised by the prospect that there is a forest in an underground facility.

After regaining his composure “There is no need for you to wait. I should be good from here. I will just take this opportunity to look around the facility.”

Zack still felt slightly uneasy being around Airy. She was just too happy.

“I don’t want to be any further inconvenience to you. Thank you for the help and the clothing.”
