[ 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!

"You haven't missed anything," Yuri told him cheerfully. "If you've seen one, you've seen them all. Sir."

Which was definitely true. Yuri wasn't a movie goer himself, but it had gotten to the point where trailers had started to blend together. It had gotten to the point awhile ago.

Simon kept feeling his mouth twitching toward a smile. Kamina would've been so indignant. He'd always been at once raunchily encouraging and still protective of Simon in that regard. Adding another party would've resulted in probably both disgust and jealousy.

He smiled a bit slyly toward the cadet. "So are you looking forward to it? You could probably be in one of the first tri-pilot love triangle flicks."

Yuri shrugged it off with a vague hand gesture. "I'm all for it I theory, but I'll be thankful just to get one partner."

And thankful if even that much didn't get him kicked out of the Academy and thrown in jail.

"What about you, sir?"

"If I find someone that will be my second partner right there, but in the spirit of the academy I guess two or more would be alright. I just want to get back in Helix."

At first, after Kamina's death, he had really hated the idea. He'd been resentful of the suggestion. It had been unbelievable enough that he could drift with Kamina. The idea of replacing him made him sick. But, as he'd learned since, it was really just Kamina's death that made him sick, the man himself couldn't be replaced, not in life or in Simon's heart. Whatever partner he found next would be a new relationship entirely.

"Ah, that's drifting. As far as being the romantic hero of a movie, I'll pass..." Not that he was always given a lot of choice in the matter.

Ah. That Simon. The name itself didn't mean anything to Yuri, but paired with Helix Plunge, Simon's identity surfaced quickly. Of course he'd heard about the battle that had taken Helix Plunge and its one surviving pilot out of commission.

"One of your new co-pilots may have other ideas, sir. But I'm sure plenty cadets will be running over each other to drift with a veteran."

"You think so?" Simon ran a hand up the back of his neck, gazing upward thoughtfully. The techs didn't really talk much about the want to drift, but Simon was always inclined to believe in the power of human will. "Maybe I should hold tryouts."
