New Arrivals: Bury Me Alive
When you wake, it's initially to darkness: musty, stuffy, and dense. Your eyes may take some time to adjust, but when they do, something will rapidly become apparent - namely, the fact that you're underground.

Unfortunately for you, it's not merely earth that separates you from the surface. It's also flowers in rich abundance - an untold, innumerable weight of dead and decaying plant matter, twined around the ancient bones strewn underground along with your sweet self, pressing down from above, peeking through the cracks in the metallic folds of whatever material once comprised these buildings' ceilings, walls, and floors.
Whether it's a mass tomb or something more sinister, you'd better figure a way out, and quickly. If you didn't show up with a shovel or some means of teleporting yourself out, you may very well need to resign yourself to digging your way out or making a lot of noise to attract someone who can, before this becomes a more dedicated grave.
Everyone Else: All Will Change and Calcify
As for the rest of you, well...if you're anywhere near the regions of G5, you might hear the sounds of a not-insignificant number of people finding themselves displaced underground, and requiring your imminent assistance in getting out. Perhaps you'll recognize the place. It is, after all, very well marked. They'll probably be properly grateful if you mind offering the help, and hey - it's a welcome break from the eerie, ever-present silence that clouds almost the entirety of Umui. As long as you don't mind digging around that old cenotaph half-buried in the flowers and scraping through sheets of metal, a lot of flowers, and...oh, yes. The first bones you'd be finding since arriving here.

Including their diagnostic systems.
The warning, repeated shrills will undoubtedly be heard by anyone who passes:
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
And that's probably fine. Right?
All new arrivals will awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

she doesn't move. she doesn't follow. she just looks....terrified??? ]
no subject
You oka-..... oh. I keep forgetting yakuza ain't exactly a cheery thing in Japan. [She clears her throat.] I'm yakuza in name only. I would rather fix people up and make sure they're healthy than kill someone.
no subject
[ honestly, she'd be a lot more hesitant to accept help, even after what nari's said. but then again, she's learned that not all people who're made out to be criminals are bad. akira kurusu and the phantom thieves are the prime example of that, after all.
she lets out a quiet sigh and eases up. just a little. ]
I will take your word for it, Nishi--...Nari. I apologize.
no subject
[Nari motions for Hifumi to keep following.] I'm German Irish myself. We have very different ways of addressing people.
no subject
[ she's still a little uptight, a little unsure about all of this, but...maybe that's just to be expected from a newcomer. ]
no subject
[She could add a fourth language under her belt!
Kipsie coos at Hifumi to try and calm her down.]
no subject
[ what.
well...kipsie is a good, soft friend. hifumi is going to try to pet the pigeon gently. ]
no subject
[ :D
Kipsie is very happy to be petted, settling down on Hifumi's hand.]
no subject
[ ????
hifumi continues to pet kipsie. she finds it very calming, and continues to do so as she follows nari to...wherever they're going. ]
no subject
[Welcome to Airlocked.
Kipsie has gained +1 friend. This is a good day.]
no subject
[ i don't understand, she almost says. but right now, hifumi's sort of just resigned herself to not understanding 99% of what's going on. ]
...Okay.
no subject
I think he'd like you. There's just something about polite people that makes him a little more compliant. Though you look under eighteen, so that would save you from being hit on.
no subject
I will be eighteen soon enough.
[ but yes please don't hit on her??? ]
...Do you happen to know what today's date is?
no subject
[Then don't tell her your birthday because she will.]
... August 3rd?
no subject
[ she does not want a little green alien hitting on her??? ]
A--August 3rd?
[ that's...either eight months ahead or four months behind her. she's going with the former, because time passing makes more sense. ]
No...
no subject
[He wouldn't till Hifumi was eighteen and asked him not to.]
I know, right? It's so weird... time doesn't like up like everywhere else. I was in the year 2017, and then in the year 6973 I think... and now who know what year it is.
no subject
But my family must be so worried about me! At least eight months have passed in the time I blacked out.
[ oh man. she closes her eyes and sighs, visibly and audibly stressed. ] This isn't good.
no subject
[Or something like that. The Doctor would be better at this.]
no subject
You mean--no time has passed back at home? It's as if I've never left?
no subject

no subject
I can't say I understand your circumstances, Nari, but I am sorry that you've had to endure so much. I imagine that going through so many changes hasn't been easy on you.
no subject
[Shrugging, Nari keeps leading.] I don't regret the year, though. I made family, I am pre-engaged, and I'm in a place where I can do good. If I wasn't lazy as fuck most of the time.
no subject
[ hifumi is a pretty private person herself until she gets to know someone, so she understands wanting to keep things on the dl. ]
Though...it's nice to hear that you've used your circumstances to make the best of things. It's admirable.
