[ 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!

Comments

[counterattacked]

Excuse you, he's totally important. (He's not even remotely important.) He's absolutely unimportant at this point in time, but he's taller than her and he's already opening his mouth to ask why it even matters how old he is—he's old enough to enlist isn't he?—when she comments on his name. Given what they're here to do, he's been long prepared for a few raised brows. But "strange" isn't the first thing he'd expected to hear about it.

"Hey, fuck you! It's not that strange," he's not sure what she means by that, but he defaults to defensive out of habit. "Besides, yours is pretty weird, too."

So no, he doesn't recognize it. Should he?

She backs off a little when he swears. What was he, some common criminal? And her name is only weird to people who weren't "in the know" as the Americans phrase it. But she's going to hold her ground because she's a winner! (A winner until she's lost.)

"My name is not strange. It means `from karma`," which doesn't really make sens, karma's not a place. But she's really proud of her name so F(ool) you. "You're the one with a name that means `hunter`. Can you even hunt?"

And about how he has the same name as the robots? Never crossed her mind.
