The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round…until they suddenly stop. Just as quickly as the bus ride started, the sudden jolt of the bus hitting the brakes may disrupt you from your current activities (whatever those may be.) It’s hard to determine just how long you’ve been on this road trip, but some of you may be able to tell it’s been nearly forty-eight hours. Where could you have possibly been traveling?

Worry not, dear travelers! Why, if you’ll wait one moment, the doors of the bus will gently open…

…and the floors of the bus will tilt, spitting every single one of you out onto the ground with little warning before the doors slam closed and the bus begins to drive away.

As you gather your wits and regain your bearings, the first thing you may notice is the very distinct scent of pine and the lingering scent of rain in the air. Beneath your feet, the words BUP STOP have been spray painted into the dirt and above you a large wooden sign proudly declares that you’ve arrived at your destination.

Welcome to CAMP GATONINA.

Well-maintained greenery surrounds the area with trees as far as the eye can see, and a dirt path seems to lead straight into camp. Fog looms in the distance, though perhaps that’s from the rainy weather. Come along, don't be shy. You’re welcomed here, after all!

As you make your way forward, you’ll soon be greeted with the sound of a bright and almost cheerful voice that seems to be amplified somehow, gathering the attention of all.

"Right this way, ladies and gentlemen. Your lovely hosts await!"

A cloud of fog parts, and in the center of the path sits a three-tiered platform. Three figures stand on the platform before you, two of whom hold a white basket with depictions of the sun. Despite looking directly at them, it’s hard to make out the features of these three outside of their very unusual outfits. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the camp later, but for now it seems that the figure in the top hat has a megaphone in hand and an announcement to make.

"That should be all of you. Let's not waste time, shall we? You'll need these sooner than later, I imagine."

The figure with the top hat begins to call out names as the other two figures hold onto the basket, using their free hands to distribute small keys with different wooden keychains shaped like animals. When the final key is distributed, the megaphone is lifted once more as the figure without the basket gestures to the space around you.

"Welcome to Camp Gatonina. We look forward to your stay."

[ooc: for the sake of your mods, please choose only one NPC to speak to for now! Should we feel confident with our tagload, we may open this up to more tags later, but don't worry! There will be more opportunities to speak with them in the future...

Please be sure to read all of the new information provided to you! In addition, please keep in mind that this is not the week zero mingle! A new mingle will go up tomorrow to officially begin the game, so please do not use this post to toplevel regarding the new locations! You may, however, PC to your hearts' content ♥]

[what other stuff. . .]

[he thinks but does not ask]


You know what they say-- all work and no play makes Wizard-san a dull. . . wizard.

[is that how it goes, Akikra]

All right. Then what's your favorite meal to cook?

In general.

[a hum]

And I can give you my opinion once I form one, but I'd still like to know yours. That's part of "getting to know you"

[aw, Guy. . . sheepishly, Akira lifts a hand to rub the back of his neck]

Well-- thanks. I don't know about that, but I do try not to be a complete and total asshole.

[. . . huh. well, she gets a curious look for that, but]

It was only one time.

Oh, they seem to have made an error with your age, Miss Flayn. If you'd like, I can attempt to contact the administrator to have it corrected.

[Among the crowd, Threepio sees Yin Yu wearing his mask]

Oh, Officer Yin! The administrators found your mask! How wonderful.

I've been scanning the information on these boarding passes. I wasn't aware you were a member of a long-lived species. I had assumed you were Human. My apologies, sir.

[In terms of the Galaxy, turns out 300+ isn't that strange??]
machinetranslation: (at your service)

[personal profile] machinetranslation 2020-06-08 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Threepio, who loves getting to know people, begins to read the boarding passes aloud. All of them. Every word.





sorry]

That's all there is to it, most times. I think you make a good first impression.

If you've got some crazy devilish persona that you're stowing away for a special occassion, maybe we can revisit. But bad mistakes don't make a bad person. It's how you respond and what kind of effort you put into it that's more important.

[ as an aside: ] I think it looks fine, Anaido.

[ you guys are just mean... ]

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-08 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahah -- maybe. [Just kinda waves that off with a vague gesture of his hand.] I guess I'm a little too corny for my own good sometimes. My best friend used to tell me it's why the girls would never leave me alone.

I can see it. An earnest, sincere personality is the most attractive thing of all.

[in akira's opinion!!]

[I SWEAR THIS NPC IS KAITO GOD!!!1]

[another mouth twitch]


You could say that. I'm not a performer myself, but you have to know your audience to entertain them. Right?
