WEEK ONE

[lockdownmods]

[ Well that Orientation... happened. Whether you feel more informed or not, the truth remains. Here you are, within Fayflower University. You have your run of the campus, indoors and out.

There's also your tablets to play with. There are several apps-- and even a game! They didn't leave you without some entertainment. The music is a bit dated though...

And should you wish, there's still time to talk to the "staff" in a more... private setting. The office. They're not hard to find. Well-- your Professor, Han and Megumi aren't. Oswald is a bit more... difficult. ]

[Honestly... it's better that Poe doesn't understand, considering how Orga grew up. Something something IBO is a series where it sucks to be a kid character.

The topic change gets him to settle down a little as his focus returns to the picture.]

My family. We all come from different backgrounds, but it's a place where we all belong.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

That's... quite the big family.

[There are a lot of people in the picture.... and he feels sort of bad for riling Orga up in the first place so.....]

Could you um... tell me about them? I'm curious as to how such an diverse group came together.

[unhalting]

[He gives Poe a strange look before his expression shifts to something more contemplative as he props his cheek with a fist.]

Don't really know if there's much to talk about but... yeah, sure. [A pause.] I met a lot of these guys working for the CGS at the time, since they'd actually hire kids like us. Guess you could say that all hell broke loose one day when we were attacked by Gjallarhorn, but... that also ended up being the chance we needed to finally take over, and rename ourselves Tekkadan.

After that, our name grew pretty big after we successfully pulled off our first major job, and eventually we started getting more guys who wanted to join 'cause they needed a place to stay and work. And now...

[...]

...Never mind.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

....... Did something happen before you were brought here?

[That trailing off was ominous....]

[unhalting]

...Nah. It's nothing. [Even if it was, it looks like he doesn't want to talk about it.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Alright then.

[Time for.... an awkward silence then.]

Um....

[Subject change time.]

What... what is Gjallarhorn? Why did they attack you?

[unhalting]

[Topic changes are great, he's okay with this.]

You could call 'em the largest military force in existence, I guess. I don't know too much about their internal affairs, but either way they wanted our client dead because she was trying to get economic independence for Mars. Since we were harboring her, we naturally got a target painted on our back too.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

....Mars??? There are people on Mars now???

[....Or aliens at this rate. But... let's not jump to conclusions.]

[unhalting]

[Maybe he should just post a "I'M FROM MARS" sign from now on.]

Yeah, that's where I'm from. [hi he's not an alien thx]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

........... Well that's...... I'm not sure why I'm even remotely surprised at this point.

[People live on Mars now. Sure.]

[unhalting]

If it helps, you're not the only one who's reacted like this. Doesn't seem like a lot of people here are familiar with what I'm used to.

[If you've got giant robots, why not people on Mars!?]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It's... it's a better revelation than magic being real..... I suppose.

[He's so very tired.]

[unhalting]

Did you hear that from someone else? [Granted, supernatural shit like trapping people in books is magic enough for him but still.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Shirou. He can usually use it.... apparently.
