Official Opening!

Who: All the lovely test visitors of Jurassic Park and your very own host John Hammond!
When: July 21st in the morning hours after the first helicopters with guests arrive
Where: All over the safe area - check the subheaders for specific location options or make your own subheader if something you'd like is not yet included!
What: Getting settled! Hammond holds a welcome speech and you can get a tour through the Visitor Center. Once that is done, why don't you choose a room or check out the exhibits and café? A new world of wonders awaits and you're just getting started!

It's a beautiful but slightly nebulous day on Isla Nublar. You have arrived this morning and didn't get much of a chance to check out the place yet. Still, one thing is clear... Dinosaurs are a new one. That herd of brachiosaurs you spotted walking in the distance is pretty impressive.

This is a mingle-log that you can use to tag around with as many people as you want. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed all comments here are fair game to reply to with all characters - they are all in close proximity to each other after all. If you have any specific preferences for your threads, state them in your subject line (e.g. if your thread is closed to a specific character or is set at a very specific time or if you don't want thread-jacking once a thread has started).

The log also gives a chance for characters to talk to John Hammond for a while - he might not be overly helpful, but go ahead and meet your host!

[Yeah, there was no chance Shiro was going to let go of her brother any time soon. Not after all those hours spent flying on both a plane and a helicopter just to get to an island lush with vegetation and wildlife. Just being outside was too much for the both of them, but Sora was her human crutch just as much as she was for him.

A little hand holds tightly onto Sora's sleeve as the other keeps track of the strap of her little backpack. She wears...a school uniform, of all things. Shiro's eyes are full of unshed tears beneath the veil of long hair falling messily over her face as her lower lip quivers in a fear she hasn't felt in a while.

...Y-yes. Shiro sees. Nii isn't going crazy...

[No. Freakin'. Way. He isn't sure whether he would have preferred that he might be going crazy over seeing what definitely looks like dinosaur heads. It could be some really advanced animatronics.

....but then weren't there some articles floating around not too long ago about some crazy rich guy and something to do with dinosaurs?
]

Crap, what did our parents just get us into?
little_blank: (This article piques my interest)

[personal profile] little_blank 2014-07-21 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[While Shiro agrees with her brother's thoughts, she tilts her head at the sight.]

...That's a Brachiosaur.

[Well, she can't say that she's not intrigued by how accurate the animatronic monster is. Plus whatever articles they saw about that crazy rich guy had been long forgotten in favor of the announcements and rumors of new video games in the works.]
big_blank: (How do you people?)

[personal profile] big_blank 2014-07-21 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh yeah, that would be the reason they probably overlooked it. Sora might have even thought to read up on this tropical island getaway if he hadn't been too busy lamenting their fate.]

Huh. Sauropod group, right? That's...a herbivore then, so at least it wouldn't be interested in eating us. -technically speaking, anyway! Because that's totally not a real live, breathing dinosaur, right? Right- how campy can this be, some dinosaur-themed park.

Ugh, how long are we stuck here for, Shiro?
little_blank: (shock from all teh dumb)

[personal profile] little_blank 2014-07-21 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods several times. Herbivores were definitely better than running into a carnivore or two. But yeah, if it's all fake, they have nothing to worry about.

The little girl blinks, letting go of Sora's arm for a moment to shrug the backpack off of her shoulders. Tiny hands dig through its contents, finding an envelope tucked away between some extra batteries. Opening and unfolding the letter that originally was meant for their parents, Shiro scans the paragraphs swiftly, pausing when she finds the period of their duration.

...

Three weeks.

Three....weeks????

[Suddenly, it feels as though all his energy's been sapped. He nearly folds over Shiro, and it's probably only because of her proximity that he doesn't completely fall.]

Th...three weeks...
little_blank: (The very feeling of being iRL)

[personal profile] little_blank 2014-07-21 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't die on her, brotherrrrrr, not while she's around. She won't let you.

She's feeling just as lightheaded. Without a moment's hesitation, Shiro stuffs the letter back into the bag carelessly.

[Sora's just going to...cling to you for a moment, Shiro. And maybe sob a bit.]

[No worries. She may be whimpering too.]
