jinuzuki[In the forest a man is just waking up to find himself sitting against a tree wearing nothing but the cotton white pants. When he fully awakes, his movements are slow and tentative as though expecting pain.]
What...where am I? Could this be Lost Jerusalem? Not exactly how I expected to see it...[He hadn't expected to be seeing anything. The darkness had fallen bringing a sense of peace with it, yet now he felt alive. Normal except-]
[There's a sudden hiss of pain as his back starts to protest.] Ah, what...? [When he reaches to find what is causing the pain he lets loose a sound of surprise] Feathers? Wings? [He leans forward letting his hand fall away from his back and onto a book.]
Hm? What is this? [He picks it up and flips it open.] How odd. It appears to be a...computer of some sort? In book form?
There appears to be more going on here beyond my understanding...

Date: 2012-03-10 04:38 pm (UTC)[Rydia pauses to concentrate...and a moment later, they're standing in the middle of the Welcome Center. It's warm and cozy, with plump chairs and sofas all about, and a working fireplace. Maps of the area are tacked onto the walls, as well as a calendar. There's a table with some half-unpacked supplies, and the scent of cocoa drifts over from the kitchen.]
Please, have a seat. Do you need healing?
[Rydia looks him over. As long as it's nothing serious, she won't send him over to the clinic.]

Date: 2012-03-10 05:29 pm (UTC)No, I'm...[there's a hesitant pause and he almost sounds puzzled.] uninjured. Thank you.

Date: 2012-03-10 07:08 pm (UTC)You're welcome. I'll add more to the fire, but first--would you like something warm to drink? We have tea, cocoa, cider...?

Date: 2012-03-10 09:40 pm (UTC)[She takes a few moments to gather everything, returning with a small try. In addition to the mug, there's cream and sugar on the side as well as lemon, whatever he prefers.]
Here you go...you know, I don't think I got your name.

Date: 2012-03-10 09:55 pm (UTC)Ah, my apologies. I am Jin Uzuki. It is a pleasure to meet you, though-[a slight and soft chuckle] the circumstances could have been more favourable.

Date: 2012-03-11 12:16 am (UTC)That's the way it often is, here...but on the other hand, it could have been worse. At least we're finally starting to lose some of that snow. Arriving in the dead of winter? Not pleasant.
[And she should know.]

Date: 2012-03-11 12:39 am (UTC)[He falls silent for a moment looking distant. So many questions.] How is-[he pauses and can't quite suppress a shudder. No, as much he wants to know, he's not quite ready for that question yet and quickly changes it.] How long have you been here for?
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-11 04:41 am (UTC)I've been here for just over three years and a month. I wouldn't say that's exactly common but there are some who have been here for even longer than that, up to when this current enclosure was opened. Some things have changed, but the essential nature of this place has remained the same. The experiments have been a monthly event ever since I first arrived.

Date: 2012-03-11 08:42 pm (UTC)I'm sorry you had to go through that, but at least you have a chance at a new life. I know it may not seem that way from what that I've just said, but it's not all terrible here.

Date: 2012-03-12 02:08 am (UTC)That's what a friend of mine from home said when he arrived, too. And who knows, you might not leave. I haven't, all this time.

Date: 2012-03-12 06:19 pm (UTC)As for somewhere to stay, I'd recommend one of the Community Buildings.
[She gestures to the map, pointing them out.]
They have three rooms to an apartment and a shared kitchen area for the floor. Anywhere that isn't taken, you can claim.

Date: 2012-03-14 12:25 am (UTC)Nothing that urgent. Just be aware that we tend to get hit with an experiment later in the month, that's all. We'll probably have a welcome party for the newcomers, though I'm not actually in charge of that, so I don't know when it will be. But I'm sure there will be an announcement.
