Action
[It’s morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there are two new arrivals around town who seem convinced that something very suspicious is going on here. Dressed in what can only be described as tactical gear, they’re clearly some kind of military, and appear to be acting accordingly. In a situation like this, the best course of action is obviously to fall back on instinct in an attempt to get to the bottom of whatever this is supposed to be. For these two, that means proceeding with caution.
Clearly there’s nothing questionable about two men carrying big guns through farms and fields, speaking to each other quietly as if to keep from being overheard. Keeping together, never straying far from the other, or lingering too long in a single area. Not at all questionable, or scary, or yeah no what are these two idiots doing.
They’re doing recon, of course! And they’re fairly thorough about it, methodically searching, poking around, overturning anything that looks questionable and possibly pointing guns at it. Was that thing yours? Sorry, it’s being inspected now. Do you live in this house? No problem, they’re just going to check around back. See or experience anything strange during your stay? No? Are you sure?
Or maybe you just come across them while going about your business. They’re obviously friendly with each other, even if they’re regarding everything else with some degree of wariness. It seems like a great idea to approach, if only to ask what the heck they think they’re doing.]
(ooc: It’s a two for one deal with Jackstrikecommand and Gabriel passedover. We’ll both be replying to all threads unless otherwise requested.)

[Less warning and just a reminder, because boy had they heard that a few times today.
Arms rested loosely across his chest. Well, different answer for once.]
They've gotta live somewhere as well. Trying to figure out how many of us that just seem to arrive here there are compared to locals.
So far most people say they've not met one.
no subject
[She mimics his arm cross in a rather adorable version of Gabe's thoughtful grump.]
I never thought about that! It's mostly just us, I think? And I don't really see the shop people away from the shops much.
no subject
He just stands like that out of comfort's sake than any sort of attitude, and doesn't notice she's attempting to mimic him. More important matters at hand.]
Not even just relaxing somewhere, only at their shops?
no subject
no subject
Yeah, no, definitely going to be discussing this with Jack once somewhere more private. Glancing back and just making sure the man was listening, barely turning his head. Hana was still getting most of is attention.]
Take it people who arrive end up taking up jobs or making their own then. [Likely for nothing else to do, still had to make a living, right?]
Seen anything odd, other than the lack of locals outside of their places of business?
no subject
Uhm, I don't think so? Some people said there's monsters and stuff outside of town, in the woods? Or out further, I'm not sure. Other than that, everything here is super normal.
no subject
[Neither of them recognize her, have no reason to. Gabriel's honestly just appreciative of the answers. It's helpful, and any little bit is good.
Just that 'monsters' can mean a whole.. lot of things.]
no subject
[That get your attention Gabe???]
I didn't check, soo...
no subject
Not all monsters are made of metal.
[And some weren't monsters at all, but still—]
If they don't come in to town it's best not to go looking for trouble.
[.... Jack and he were going to go look, weren't they.]
no subject
Maybe-- oh! People talk a lot about the mines? Maybe there's something interesting there.
no subject
[The God AIs and the omnics they built were definitely one thing. People filled up that gap after the war.
How it always wet, something replacing another.
Still, mines. What kind of place was this?]
What have you heard?
no subject
[She shrugs.]
I'm not strong enough for that kind of thing without my mecha, so I didn't check it out yet.
[Also getting dirty, gross. Symmetra has barely convinced her to help with farming.]
no subject
[He had to ask. Most people weren't allowed in to mines unless they knew what they were doing, had permission for whatever reason, or were willing to risk it for... dumb reasons.
Honestly, he'd not be surprised if these weren't regular mines considering everything else coming up about this place.]
Would hope there'd be a place to learn how to go about that safely as possible.
no subject
Maybe you could like, make it a big group thing?
no subject
[Such as mining.
Like anything that could potentially be dangerous, and he doubted that the technology here was enough to get people out quickly if something went wrong. Didn't sit right.]
Makes it more dangerous most of the time.
no subject
no subject
Eventually, however, he'll return, wandering back just in time to hear some discussion about the mines, and he takes it upon himself to jump right in.]
He won't be by himself.
[Jack will be going with him, of course.]
she's just gonna pout forever now
Yeah, but that's still just two... What if you guys get stuck?
no subject
[They worked better together, and it was less 'going in to hammer at the walls to look for things' and more 'go in very carefully and get a good look around, and get the hell out if things look bad' than anything else.
A tilt of his head.]
We'll be careful, too.
[Had each other's backs.]
no subject
I guess so.
[If that really is Jack, D.Va knows he can do just about anything.]
Uhm, I'm Hana! I forgot to say.
[Considering Gabe kinda just kept questioning her from the get-go...]
It's nice to meet you...?
no subject
[Introductions really hadn't been happening much since it had been the least of their concerns.
Both of them had been functioning on recon mode.]
Appreciate you taking the time to answer questions, been a big help.
no subject
[The introduction itself should indicate that from where he's standing, he's never met Hana before, or even knows who she is. He tries to offer a reassuring smile, but it all looks a little strained, given the situation.]
It's nice to meet you.
