February Arrivals Log
Who: February Arrivals, Greeters, NPC recruiters & anyone else who happens to be hanging around the Tower Apartments to 'welcome' newcomers.
When: Throughout February, 2012 (Please Specify Date & Time of Say in Thread Header)
Where: The Sector 4 Baseball Diamond, Parking Lot & Lobby of the Tower Apartments
Summary: This is your catch-all one stop log for arrival interactions! New Newcomers can also meet and mingle in the apartment lobby.
Warnings: Nausea, potential for violence, language- add on any warnings or ratings as they come up.
It feels like a whiplash, like being plucked up into the sky and sucked through a very tight dark space before being deposited rather roughly in the City. You will be disoriented, dizzy, slightly nauseous, and very sore upon arriving in Siren's Port. Every new arrival from another world gets deposited in the dead center of an ill-kept baseball diamond.
The weather is chilly, and while new arrivals may be lucky enough to arrive during the safety of the day, the danger of nights are far ore threatening. Pedestrian traffic is hurried and bustling, particularly in the hour before siren.
Newcomers are thrown from their pull somewhere within the fenced-in baseball field, which is overgrown and dirty. Standing on second base and facing home plate, one will see a rotten, old and deteriorating backstop and chain link fencing, much like any little league baseball field. Broken down bleachers made of worn out green painted wood can be seen in disarray behind this, and some old trees line the wall and fencing along the right side.
To the left is a walled in Dugout with a secured door. The dugouts are made of thick concrete and set low into the earth. This one has been outfitted as a safe place to enter during the night to hide and wait out the morning. The dugout interior is lit with a string of Christmas Lights by night, and contains a box of coats, an electric kettle and a box of Hot Cocoa packets, provided courtesy of the Newcomer Community Center. Sometimes Greeters can be found here, waiting for people to show up. The Dugout to the right has also been cemented over and secured with a heavily guarded and armored door.
Some of the fences and signboards have been replaced with information and welcoming signs, posted by Newcomers as encouragement, but from time to time some form of degrading graffiti'd tag might appear here or there, 'Go Home!' or 'Now You're Fucked, Newmeat' 'Welcome to Sirens Port, Population: Too Many to Add One More' and 'Attention Newcomers: Please wait here till sunset sirens to receive your welcoming package!') However, someone has also recently decorated the fence with red and pink paper hearts.
The Baseball Diamond is maintained by the city Government, who allow greeters access to the infield to retrieve new arrivals, but preserve the area's neutrality. Everyday citizens and corporate affiliates are not allowed access to the diamond. The small building constructed over the right dugout is still guarded heavily by government-controlled Voids, to block public access to the Core. Those who cooperate with greeters will be treated fairly and be given helpful information, lead to the Tower Apartments and offered a month's lodging. Those who put up a fight will be met with Voids and detained by police.
Just beyond the fence, in the Tower Apartments parking lot and lobby, SERO and AGI recruiters will be passing out informational leaflets presenting company propaganda, including discounted coupon booklets and travel-sized toiletries as a "Newcomer Welcome Package". AGI is using the excuse of Valentine's Day to heavily promote its Adult Entertainments.
Other then the lights around the Core dugout, there is one single electric light above home plate that remains on, even in the Darkness. There is an open walkway near the dugouts that leads into the parking lot of the Tower Apartments. The front doors of Tower One are always kept unlocked, but you had best close them again quickly if you slip inside during the night. The office of the Landlord is well marked near the lobby, and you'll receive keys there.
The second tower is abandoned and boarded up, still scorched in places. Asking around, you might hear about the anti-newcomer movement and an attempt to blow up both towers back in January. You'll be advised not to go wandering in there- it's no doubt structurally unsound, though the first tower still stands tall and (mostly) functioning.
There's one more troublesome thing of note... locals seem far more ready to accurate identify new arrivals this month, and 'greet' them rather cruelly in public places.
The reason for this is an anonymous live-steaing videofeed, 'NEWCOMER WATCH', which is trained on the diamond 24/7. Anonymous viewers are making an online event of new drop-ins, making crude commentary over the chatroom, posting their pictures and descriptions up over local NV networks and generally encouraging nasty behavior towards these individuals.
So prepare for some very mean and possibly violent treatment in the coming weeks.

no subject
He looks at the bed, and back at William, and back at the bed again.
He chews his lower lip and his teeth cut it. A little blood runs over his chin.
no subject
"I would think you'd have learned to be careful with those by now."
He wipes the blood from Grell's chin in an uncharacteristically caring manner.
no subject
That's what William does; hits him over the head with his scythe, pulls his hair, throws him into walls... right? He doesn't talk gently while wiping away traces of blood.
The differece seems to confused and upset him.
This is past playing games and flirting and declaring love. Besides, he does those things to get William's attention. And right now will is uncomfortably... present.]
Will, what is this! You stood on my head not five minutes ago and now you're wiping my chin! Is this part of the punishment?
no subject
[ William sighs, tossing the tissue away. If he was smart - or sane - he wouldn't bother with explaining any of this. He'd go back to treating Grell how he always had and everything would be normal again.
But he can't. During their time here together he's realized just how nice it can be to care for someone and have them care in return. Damn emotions. He knew he should have never let them in in the first place. ]
You were here previously, for more than a year. You were sent home, however, and apparently lost your memory upon returning.
no subject
Ok, I think you need a day off. Really. You're not making any sense.
no subject
I am making perfect sense, Grell Sutcliff. You are simply not listening or comprehending, as usual.
[ His voice has become cold again. ]
no subject
Fine, we're in a place called Siren's Port. Fine. Take me home!
no subject
[ William goes over to Grell's dresser and pulls out one of his frilly nighties. He tosses it at him, effectively having it land over his head. ]
Now get changed and come to bed.
[ And he wastes no more time crawling into the bed himself. ]
no subject
[He takes the nightgown off his head and holds it in front of himself. Everything seems too close and too real.]
That's what you want? really?
no subject
[ Good, this seemed to be working better. He removes his glasses, placing them on the nightstand, and nestles down into the bed. ]
no subject
When he reappears he's in the gown. He goes across the room and sits on the edge of the bed expectantly.]
no subject
[ William reaches out and tugs Grell down by his hair. ]
no subject
Well, maybe it's not so bad. He's still not trusting, but he lets himself be pulled. He lays under the covers stiffly, but still not resisting.]
Will?
no subject
[ William shifts a bit closer. ]
no subject
Uh... Why are you being nice?
no subject
[ He pauses. Over their time here, he'd grown to enjoy playing this little game of theirs - now that he understood that it could be looked at as one. Perhaps he really was a sadist. ]
Now, give me a kiss goodnight.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Actually, Grell can't think of any time anyone's ever kissed him willingly.
He still expects some kind of blow to come, but he creeps forward slowly, cautiously...
and lands a light kiss on William's cheek.]
no subject
But perhaps not what he was expecting!
William reaches out, grabbing a handful of hair at the back of Grell's head and pulls him into a hard, forceful and completely open-mouthed kiss! ]
no subject
The protest however is short lived, and within a second Grell goes limp in William's arms, yielding and kissing back passionately.]
no subject
There. That is how I wish to be kissed from now on, understood?
no subject
Will, tell me what's happening. Please. I'm so confused.
But... I will... I will kiss you I mean... Will.
no subject
no subject
[But he curls close as he talks, tucking against Will's chest.]
