EVENT ★ WELCOME TO LERAMZEN

[futurologists]

WELCOME TO LERAMZEN After nearly three weeks of "relaxation" in Oska, Audentes is given 48 hours to prepare for their next mission. Right on time, they are rifted to a different dimension, landing them in the futuristic city of Leramzen. Instead of appearing in a large group, recruits are spread throughout the city center so as not to draw attention to themselves, arriving in isolated areas: behind buildings hidden from the street, in public restrooms, stepping into the street from behind parked cars. The key is to blend in, though the metropolitan nature of Leramzen allows for some wiggle room; the locals see enough country bumpkins from all over the galaxy that they're willing to overlook a faux pas here or there from an obvious tourist. Recruits have two weeks before the day of the museum heist. During this time, they should contact their mission analyst, George, but the rest is up to them -- a perfect time to explore the luxuries that Leramzen has to offer. CITY LIFE Leramzen is a highly cultured city, with many museums and theatres, including its prized Lyushny Theatre which homes the galaxy famous Lyushny Ballet. While the natives of this planet are human, recruits will see a wide variety of other life forms in Leramzen, some humanoid and some most definitely not. Try not to stare! The generous stipend will more than allow recruits to take in the sights and treat themselves to a luxury meal or two, but of particular interest should be the clothing and jewelry stores found in the city center. There are shops that cater to any style and taste, including a few bespoke tailors that have a convenient turnaround time of two weeks. In addition to shopping and cultural pursuits, there is an ice rink in the city center, maintained for the long winter season, and horse-drawn carriages that will take passengers on a ride through Leramzen's historic Old Town. This is also a good chance to observe the State History Museum to get a lay of the land before the mission begins. But remember -- don't draw attention to yourselves, so going in all together might not be a good idea. Settle in and take in some sights, and get ready -- because when the mission begins, you never know what you'll be in for. OOC NOTES Welcome to the new mission! Heist sign-ups are now closed for current players, but all characters accepted after May 21st will still have the opportunity to sign up. For more information on the mission, please check the dossier and direct all questions about Leramzen to this thread. Questions about the game in general should be directed to the FAQ and you may submit mission ideas or player plots at any time.

[ Knock Out is quickly finding that Leramzen agrees with him very, very well. The natives here may be humans (or human-lookalikes, and really, does it matter at that point?), but he has to admit that humans have always had an eye for style. And here's an entire city that's been given the chance to hone and perfect that eye. He doesn't even mind using his own human mode for this outing, since all the luxuries are so specifically catered to it. He may as well oblige them all.

He's up here for an entirely different reason, and his eyes are on the city lights below and around, rather than on anything the heavens may have to offer. Or withhold, as the case may be. ]

I missed that one. [ Are they talking now? Apparently so. Knock Out's in a good mood, he won't object. ] Zeta-12. Something about gooey babies, that's what I've heard.

[ It sounds horrendous. ]

[Since Knock-Out doesn't look like the robot that Keith provided with the special mineral back in Perdition's Rest—well, presumably—he doesn't connect the dots. Sometimes, he's a little simpler that way. He glances over at the guy with little recognition of him. But he assumes that he's here for ... if not a similar reason, then something to do with their team. Isn't that how it normally is?

Either way, he looks back over the city.] It wasn't just the babies. [Not for Keith. Part of it had been the squidges by the end. But some part of him has a difficult time expressing that.]

The planet was allowed to live. To have green. It could be quiet. [Sometimes.

When the babies weren't screaming.

Which they did.

A lot.

Look, Keith likes his narrative of Zeta-12, okay?]

[ Knock Out makes a face, hidden mostly by the dark of the rooftop. Humans talking like they know about planets being alive or dead, please. ]

And you think this one is less living? [ He gestures out at the view with the hand not preoccupied with a glass of wine. ] That's a little dramatic. It sounds like you just down like crowds.

[secondnature]

I don't. [At least Keith is upfront about his problems with all of this. The good thing is he's used to Audentes being a crowd, even if he struggles with it at times. (Like, when someone dares to disagree with him.)]

But life isn't only found in crowds. Plants are alive, too. And they're quiet.

[paintjobs]

I won't argue that. They're alive, quiet, and perfectly boring. [ He waves a hand dismissively. ] If that's your thing, I won't judge. Some just can't handle very much excitement.

[secondnature]

[It doesn't take much to set a guy like Keith off. He's a little more mature about his temper, but it's easy to get on his nerves.]

I can handle excitement just fine. I just prefer it when it's less annoying.
