[ open ] Welcome to Chile, Cadets.

[supportadmin]

Characters: ALL.
Location: Valparaíso Shatterdome, Chile.
Date/Time: February 15th-28th.
Summary: The first shipment of recruits into the new Jaeger Academy program arrive. Some are staggered throughout the month, but they all have the same basic greeting. Here you are, there's where you sleep, here's what you wear, get going.
Additional Notes: See here for additional information. For information on the current weather, check out this link.

The Shatterdome didn't look futuristic, swatches of metal and concrete transforming a portion of the harbor into five enormous bays. Nevermind that only two were currently in use. The stark greys stand out against the colorful face of the city, a hulking monolith that's been carved into the face of the city that had once upon a century been termed the Jewel of the Pacific.

Note: Players are welcome to start their own interactions outside of the three main prompted scenarios. Go wild!

"It's a figure of speech." Of dismissal or suspension or getting sent back. Though Leila can't deny that there's some form of truth in those words. With the always-ongoing Jaeger maintenance and repair, people running around, transport vehicles coming in and out and the various activities in the Shatterdome, it's a hazardous place nearly for everyone, most especially them who know so little about its inner workings. So it's more or less a warning to keep all of them in their place. As if the commanding tone isn't more than enough to do that.

After giving her name and age to the person she assumes will be their divisional officer (or whatever the PPDC equivalent of that rank is), she offers a slight smile to the girl who spoke out. "To some extent, at least."

"I know that. It doesn't make things less foolish. They could have said something substantial but no," says the girl whonstarted this entire conversation on nothing substantial.

She states her name and age. Franziska von Karma. Eighteen. Will definitely explore all the dangerous nooks and crannies of the Shatterdome on her free time.

She doesn't offer a smile back, because she's friendlier that way. "Is this your first time in a Shatterdome?"

"But it wouldn't be as intimidating now, would it?" Straight to the point with no sugarcoating. That's always been her experience back at the college and that seems to spill over here. Of course, it may not always work with some of the students (like this girl here; she seems the type who would have "insubordination" as her middle name) but there will always be a handful it can be effective to.

Leila nods, falling into place behind her. "It is. But the place I came from wasn't all that different. You?"

"Heh." Intimidating. Franziska von Karma does not get intimidated (except when she does). In fact, she would be doubly intimidated if it weren't for her familiarity with similar threats. She did it to her (father's) detectives all the time.

She doesn't turn to face her, out of some gut feeling that doing so might get them in trouble. " It's similar to my father's line of Work... and school, I suppose.. "
