[open] Let me play among the stars
Who: OPEN
When: The 18th
Where: The Orbital Tower
What: Explorations!
Warnings: If something comes up, please warn for it in your subject lines!
There has been word to the numbered that at 9:00am on the 18th (CET), a bus will pick up any numbered willing to have a look at the strange tower-building at the border. It will stop at Hotel Reutte as well as the parking lot at the lower end of the Pöllatschlucht Gorge and then drive any that have boarded out to the Orbital Tower.
The bus will be let through the fences that military and police put up and stop just outside the white walls. There, the driver will tell everyone to get out, and they will be met by Monika Hallbach and David Graibiger and one military officer of each of the involved countries. After a short introduction round, they will then lead the numbered into the structure. It is a large storage room housing a farm complete with two fields, a small pond and a number of cows grazing placently. The farmer will invite them into his kitchen and around the table, and with water or juice or milk in front of them, a few things will be taken care of.
> The numbered are supplied with passes that allow them to roam freely inside the structure.
> The farmer tells them how she woke up one morning and found herself, her farm and some of her fields inside a large white room. She seems pretty calm about the whole thing, with a mentality that shit happens and you gotta deal with it. She just wants the numbered to make sure that the whole thing is safe so they'll let non-residents into the structure - she wants to rent out her bed and breakfast rooms again.
> The four officials impress on the numbered, with a main emphasis on Eugen, that this is German and Austrian territory, and it is those countries' laws that are relevant in the whole structure, because it belongs to them. It is also explained that
> Everyone is given a walkie-talkie so they can connect to each other and all people stationed within the structure.
They are then let to their own devices.
[ooc: Below, threads with descriptions of what can be found will go up, one for each level. The thread for the second level will go up in a few days or once the elevator has been figured out ICly. Please direct all questions to the "ooc things" top level.
A note for the purpose of making the playing of stuff taking place after this log easier: There will be no violence in this log that is not initiated by numbered, and the only way for them to get themselves hurt will be echoes/their own stupidity/both.]
☑ An OOC thread for all your questions regarding what your character might know through their job, find when doing a certain thing, be able to figure out with their powers, etc.
☑ Everything that happens on the 18th before they are left to roam the structure on their own.

I only know two humanoids that write in glitter pen, and Octavia isn't here. Lily... we have to take a closer look.
no subject
She gives a stiff nod, but moves to head past the door.] I guess we can't not, huh?
[Under normal circumstances Lily might open up a door and be polite to let her girlfriend go ahead of her. Now, however, she steps forward a little defensively, attempting to head through first. Even if their visitors are harmless to them, this is an exceptionally odd occurrence.]
no subject
no subject
Then, cautiously she calls out:] Hello?
Is anyone there?
no subject
If they enter, they step into a moderately sized galley, though it smells oddly of
...well. McDonalds. The sitting area of the galley loops down a bit, some of the lower tables out of view from where the young women stand, and the opposite wall is see-through: Another window to space.]
no subject
...okay so either they carry McDonald's in space, or...
no subject
no subject
[It is a lovely view. She pauses to take it in as well, before sighing and peering toward the tables out of their view, let alone the strengthening scent of high-calorie burger.]
As much as I like the view, this is weird.
no subject
"Weird" doesn't quite cut it. We've seen weird, this is...
[Creepy? Yes, more than a little. She moves further towards the smell, eyes darting all about.]
No, seriously. Is there someone in here?
no subject
They are arguing in a language not English and seem to not have noticed them yet.]
no subject
Walking into an argument is rather rude, more so when you don't know what it's about, nor can you understand it or know what they might do.]
no subject
Not that any of this makes sense. Kids meals in at least four languages she recognizes litter the table, and while she doesn't understand what they're saying, the aliens arguing is cause for concern. She'd never seen them like this... and as much as she wants to believe it'll be okay, as her mind automatically supplies, they can't both be right - this might not end well.
Leaning out over Lily's arm, but trying to stay hidden, Winter struggles to get a better view.]
no subject
-but is cut short by Badri, who now speaks English waves in the general direction of the rest of the room, clearly aware that someone else is there, and beams widely.]
This is the bit where we blow this place up with all of you in it. To aid our evil alien schemes!
no subject
What are you doing up here, anyway? I thought it was just us up here, since the military escorted us... [That trust she'd had in them up to now had evaporated, in a very real way.]
no subject
Ah-heh, I'm sure this is all... a misunderstanding, right? We just wandered in here...
[Though acting nervous and playing the role of mediating, she mentally makes a checklist of how quickly she can do... any number of things, from summoning the Mirage to a hasty getaway, to a cheerful chat or an outright brawl.
Badri was impossible to read, and after speaking with Harry she wasn't sure they could try to do that with Geoff. On the first one, as well, Emil's warnings ring loud and clear in her head.]
no subject
Instead, the dark-haired alien applauds their transformation, and when he is done declares happily:] That was a joke!
no subject
Ha... I have to say, it was in poor taste. We're already nervous about this place, so when you said that, I admit I prepared for the worst. I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd survive exposure to the atmosphere at this altitude, to say nothing of falling to Earth from here.
[A pause, before her tone softens, and she adds:] Really, though. What are you doing up here?
no subject
How are you up here, even? Germany and Austria only just let us in to explore it... had they let you in before then?
no subject
We are doing weird alien things! And eating human fast food. I got extra toys in my Happy Meals if you want them.
[ He motions to the table, glancing at Geoff as he does so. His expression is very much like a child who is about to do something particularly naughty. ]
As for how we got in - we have lots of ways of getting into places without permission! Right, Geoffy?
no subject
[Geoff, though... she is interested in knowing how, and why, they're up here. Her gaze turns to him, and it's piercing. But she doesn't say anything else. There's no way she's going to let him weasel out of an answer.]
no subject
She blinks, Harry's words from a couple weeks before come colliding with that thought process, and she shifts her focus back to Badri.]
That's kind of a dangerous thing to be doing. This world has boundaries and laws that one has to abide by, you realize. Just trespassing without permission can... cause problems.
no subject
no subject
And while I understand you want to explore, and meant no harm, this place is a restricted area, pending our investigation and subsequent determination that it's safe. You don't have the... dubious honor of having another self as a guardian angel. Therefore, it's important to us - to me, especially - to make sure there are no undue hazards up here. Your being here complicates that, because if you're here, either we've completely misread what you are capable of, or else Germany and Austria are going to have a very embarrassed officer corps in short order.
no subject
The two things conflict with each other in her head, though she keeps her expression impassive.]
I'm glad to hear you trust us, at least - but you have to understand that governments are a lot more touchy about "trust," so one has to kind of be careful about that.
no subject
...We'll go through more official channels in the future to not cause issues.
[His smile exudes sincere gratitude.] It's always good to hear from you about these things, thank you.
