Welcome to Orongo

Once those who decided to go along on the mission were gathered on the Obs Deck and had time to go over the mission briefing, the detachment procedures began.

As with the missions before, the doors to the Obs Deck closed before it detached itself from Stacy, tethered by a massive umbilical cord. Those who had been on missions before would find the experience familiar if still somewhat unpleasant, but for those of whom this was their first mission, the sudden lack of gravity and lurching feeling as they entered the atmosphere would come as a surprise.

Thankfully though, the ride was quickly over as they landed safely on the planet below, the gravitational dampeners of the Obs Deck gently dropping the crew members back on their feet. One of the walls opened up, forming a ramp to the ground below. There was a sudden, slight gust of air as the door opened as the thick air rushed in. Even so, the air felt quite warm and refreshing.

Looking outside, the crew would see the bright yellow sun looming overhead, quite close in comparison to the sun on most planets. A handful of small, silver clouds dotted the blueish purple sky.

Ahead of them stood a rather impressive looking plateau, surrounded by a tall, ornate stone wall which was covered in tribal markings. Directly ahead was a large gate through the wall, with several small stone buildings in front of it. Beyond the gates, a larger settlement could be seen. Surrounding the plateau and covering the surrounding region were numerous strange, blue and purplish trees and plants.

"Ohh, Signum...! Yer blushin'." She slapped her pink haired knight's tense back. "Don't be so embarrassed~"

An' don't let'em hear ya sayin' that, jeez; this is their cultural tradition, aaaand if we plan to get close t' that artifact, we can't be underminin' their traditions either.

Besides, you'd look so CUTE in a dress!

Signum uses her instinctive reaction of glaring at Rein to focus herself, heeding, at the very least, the wisdom in Hayate's telepathy.

"R-right...it's just...really unexpected," she says. Hey, you try being single for several hundred years and suddenly being commanded to get married. "And...well...how are we...I mean, we're already a family by adoption..."

She pokes Signum's side. Telepathy.

Now, Zwei, you're right, but don't make Signum more awkward right now.

We need t' figure out how to proceed...

Rein, until now content to watch Signum's increasing discomfort with silent curiosity, decided to try her hopefully helpful hand at steadying the knight.

"The ritual may be unexpected, but does it not merely express a connection we already have? We have pledged our lives to each other and built a family together. Is marriage so different?"

[identity profile] brustriese.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...that's just it. Marriage is the same thing, just with...different expectations!

...if we're just formalizing our family again, though, there's no problem. Just...give me a minute to calm down.


Breathe, Signum. Reinforce's...reinforcement is helping a good deal, at least to help Signum get her equilibrium back.

Hayate smiled for Signum's sake.

Take yer time to.

We do not expect anything of you you have not long done for us. Or at least, Eins didn't. It will be fine.

But as the knight had asked, she would give her some silence to think on it.

After a few deep breaths, she's back to her usual self. Only possibly with a little bit of a smile.

"I apologize for overreacting," she says out loud, for anyone's benefit.

So...how are we arranging this? I'm perfectly happy with all of us being married to Hayate, if everyone else is...

[identity profile] diabolic-ace.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
She muses aloud... "I wonder if they're alright with polygamy..."

Play along, everyone.

"That would be easiest..." Rein agrees without hesitation. And, well, it certainly felt more right than just splitting them up arbitrarily.

[identity profile] brustriese.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
"H-Hayate...you'd really...?"

Signum lets her natural reaction play out loud, but quickly reminds herself to get back to business, and that they were doing it.

"We'd hardly be a team or family if any one of us tried to keep you for ourselves, right? It's a perfectly reasonable option."

She giggled a little, a slight bit of giddiness springing up her cheeks.. "Well, then, it's decided."
