[ 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!

The sudden intent to depart doesn't alarm Yancy in any way, or make him wonder if he said anything. He just assumes the guy's smoke break must be coming to an end, so he relaxes right back into his cozy spot on the tree trunk, blinking again to try and stay awake.

"It's like summer. Staying up late together and talking about everything. Watching the sky, dreaming about what's up there."

Tenpou has always assumed that most Rangers were simpleminded jocks whose brains were filled with testosterone and nonsense, but Yancy Becket is clearly no ordinary pilot. He has intriguing depths, like the sea or the blackness of space - depths that Tenpou can only puzzle at from afar. "But we know what's 'up there.' A lot of superheated hydrogen and cold empty space, with the occasional chunk of rock. That's why the Kaiju came as such a shock. We were so sure that we were alone in the universe..."

He drops his cigarette on the ground and snuffs it out beneath the sole of his sandal, smiling to himself. "But sometimes we're wrong about the things we think we know. Sleep well, Ranger Becket. Soon, you might not have a chance to."

"If the Marshall gets on the horn come shake me awake and I'll letcha stick us with a needle once." Yancy jokes back, smiling as he finally does let his eyes drift closed. Hey, it's not like they need him around here to get things settled in today. It'll be fine. Presumably that us includes the other Becket brother rather than the royal we, but who's to say for sure?
