Day 121 : [Partially closed and open]
Who: New arrivals + Old survivors
Open: (Part 1) Closed / (Part 2) Open
When: Day 121
Where: The Scrap Yard
What: Something new has appeared on the Skyway, and a lot of somethings have crash landed there. A handful of transports that were taking the experiments from Vatheon to the mainland have suddenly been spat out in to the Scrap Yard and no longer work. Confused and an eventual mad dash for the safety of the Bastion ensue.
Format: Any
Warnings: Probably violence and maybe injury
[There was a place, another world where people from many, many, many other worlds had been pulled to against their will. Unwilling experiments for a group of scientists and forced to live years in a bubble beneath the sea, they were told not that long ago that their time as experiments was coming to an end. Naturally those experiments fought back, and at the end of it all they won their freedom. Some choose to stay on the Vatheon mainland and live out the rest of their lives with people they had come to meet and love. Others decided to return to their homes to resume the lives they had lost. Either choice, they had to return to the mainland first, before anything else could be done.
But something went wrong with some of the ones being taken there. All at once their transports would simply... stop. And and bright flash of white light preceded... something like a very violent shudder of the entire world that would knock those unfortunate souls unconscious.
When they woke, they would find they were no longer in the sea that surrounded the land and the once-occupied bubble. They were still in their transports, if not a little tossed around and banged up considering the machines had been tossed rather haphazardly on top of a pile of... well... scrap. Metal, parts, some alien some not, some old some not so much. Just. Scrap.
Scrap and several large devices holding confused, possibly injured people on top of it.
The doors will open if pushed, but the front consoles that ran the things won't turn on at all.
This is your new world, transplants.
Good luck.]

This is why, after Nanaki goes to the next transport, Anna stays there. There was a little bit of clear space from the crashing and skidding, and she had to find out.
Anyone approaching this odd transport crash zone will see one small white haired girl, staring intently at something(s) shiny and red moving on the ground. ]
no subject
Led by Soul Perception, he traces through the rubble to find a partially-unearthed transport with a survivor inside. She seems none too worse for wear, intently fixated upon a tiny object moving before her. He quirks a brow at it, but really, he's seen far more unusual things in his time.]
Are you okay?
no subject
[ She had been going to look up, but she recognized the voice. She'd only talked to the man once, but she still remembered how he sounded.
The object she's looking at are a quartet of red glass marbles, spinning in a neat circle on the floor before her. ]
... and I hurt a little.
[ But the first is clearly more important. ]
no subject
There are others nearby. How do you know your friends aren't among them? [He asks, surprisingly gently for someone with his demeanor.]
no subject
[ There's a bit of dirt on her red shoes that indicated she had gone outside, but not terribly far.
As she frowns at the marbles some more, they lose their neat circle pattern and start rolling the way marbles should. Not good.
Anna starts collecting them. ]
Do you have a map? Maybe the coral was very stupid and put them somewhere else....
no subject
[He glances around the vicinity briefly before rising to his feet again, getting out of his previous crouch.]
Even if I did, this area wouldn't be on it.
[Out of pure habit, a hand digs into the breast pocket of his lab coat to find a cigarette before placing it between his lips. A lighter is brought out of a different pocket to spark it up. Stein takes a long drag before exhaling, eyes closing in a prolonged blink while he does so. His Soul Perception clearly tells him of others nearby. Survivors, presumably. If they aren't who she's looking for, they might have to do a bit of walking. That much is no matter to him. He calmly waits while she gathers up her peculiar marbles, not about to leave her behind.]
no subject
[ Oddly enough, the smoking isn't that much of a bother to her. Two of her three adults did it, so it might be vaguely comforting.
Even if the smell is slightly different.
The marbles vanish into a pocket on her dress, and she picks up a backpack - it looks like, to go with these transport things, she'd been planning on going somewhere. ]
Can you see anyone with red hair?
no subject
Not from here.
[He concludes, exhaling another long, smoky breath. After he sees her shoulder a bag, he extends a hand to the girl, as if to help her out of the transport.]
If you want to look for them, I'll go with you.
[That is, of course, pending she's not hurt.]
no subject
[ Anna takes that hand, and as tiny as she is, sort of needs a bit of that help.
And while she wobbles a little bit, her balance gets back to normal and she lets go of his hand, looking to him to start walking in a direction.
She doesn't look hurt - although that might be a start of a bruise forming at the edge of her hairline. ]
no subject
Very well then.
[He watches her as she steadies herself, still providing that worn, calm hand until she releases it and he returns it to his lab coat pocket.
When her eyes turn to him, his turn to the local landscape. There's a veritable mountain of debris ahead, (or at least enough to make things less of a leisurely walk and more of a hike), but there are survivors behind it. None of them seem familiar to him, though he isn't sure if that's a bad thing.]
I can sense survivors beyond this hill. If we climb to the top, we should be able to see them.
no subject
[ Anna studies that hill as they make their way closer, then studies Stein.
Now that she was paying attention.... Well, Stein didn't seem to be viewing the transports with any familiarity. Did the Coral really mess up? Or was this a different Stein? She'd only talked to him once, but...
When the hill of rubble gets a bit stiff, this would be Anna grabbing onto his coat sleeve. ]
no subject
A minefield of scrap and wreckage dots the landscape ahead... but no one that matches the description the girl gave. At least, not in his opinion.]
See anyone familiar?
no subject
It does make shaking her head no a bit easier - the Aura of her clanmates would have been noticeable from even this distance. ]
No one who I was looking for...
[ There isn't a tiny tremble when she says that. Honestly. Anna didn't just start to even think it might be an option that Mikoto and Tatara aren't here.
So instead she fishes out a marble, and peers through that. ]
But I see someone else I know. Green hair and the big fox.
