Who: Everyone Where: The Welcome Plaza When: 6th of June Summary: The new arrivals, freshly pulled from their worlds or others, awaken in a strange plaza... Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk. SOME NPC RESPONSES WILL BE SLOW UNTIL THE ONE WHO PLAYS THEM IS PRESENT. The first flickering of a lantern... It's a shuddering breath, a sensation of being pulled to elsewhere and finding oneself pressed against something rather hard with the sound of water coming from nearby. However, before one can fully stir, there is something that lifts you up from the rather warm (yet why did it feel like a chill going down your spine?) stone when you begin to drift off once more. It felt as though someone had thrown you from the frying pan, and then into the freezer - all you wanted to do was sleep... Yet the feeling passes quickly, and when you awaken, you begin to realize your surroundings. It looks like...a plaza of some sort? As they look around them, the ground beneath them is an intricate mosiac - a water fountain at the center of the plaza in this foreign world. There are many buildings around its perimeter, making this location seem like a central hub of whatever town this was. Some may even recognize the peculiar design of the buildings and sloped tiled rooftops as a Far Eastern theme. Were they somewhere along the Pacific? Who knows! But what is quite apparent is this: Along with the many buildings surrounding the plaza, the first thing that is noticeable is the amount of people sitting or standing around you in a similar daze. You are not alone... One building seems to stand out among all the others; one that seems large enough to house all of the completely lost and confused masses gathered here to the welcome plaza. A sign outside the door reads: WELCOME CENTER Newcomers: Please come inside for refreshments and your welcome packets! Odd... This wasn't written in your own language, and yet you find it easily understandable. Soon enough, if you don't enter on your own, someone comes from inside the double doors to usher you and everyone else inside. "Welcome to Saeng Seong! I know you must be confused as to where you are and what's going on, but we promise to explain this to you once we're inside and away from the hot sun!" Whether you go inside immediately or linger outside a little longer, eventually you must come in from the hot summer day. You'll find yourself in a well-lit lobby, filled with comfortable-looking couches and chairs. Along one wall are refreshment tables, loaded with all sorts of food and drink, including some you probably aren't familiar with. On the wall opposite are a trio of desks, each with a sign and a person seated behind them - Irene, General Assistance Devin, Technological Assistance Mai, Medical Assistance Ren, General Nuisance However, before you can go over and give them a piece of their mind and ask for questions, the same person who ushered you inside hands you a manilla envelope that contains your welcome packet, urging you to read this before asking the three figures questions that the packet likely answers. Inside it, you will find: a ring with a key and apartment number on it, some kind of cash card, a map and informational guide to the city, and a letter folded neatly on the top - Welcome to Saeng Seong! You are among the first of many new arrivals to our city, from many far-apart worlds. We have gathered you here because our city is in a crisis, and we are at our last resorts. The energy of the city is in a slow downward spiral, and is dangerously close to expiring altogether. That's where you come in - you and everyone else we've brought to the city. Unlike those of us here, you have the potential to generate the energy the city needs, but you'll need to work together to do it. Why? Because the energy can only be generated when two people touch each other. Any touch will do, but it must be between two of you who are new to the city. If you don't keep in contact with someone, eventually your energy will begin to drain as well, making you dangerously ill. A few other things: The closed-off sections of the city are closed off for a reason; approaching them will cause your energy to drain very rapidly. We're working to open the rest of the city to you as soon as we can, but for now, please remain within the two central districts of the city. You have been given a key to a one-bedroom apartment in a complex set aside for you and the other new arrivals, near the riverside in the 1st district. You're free to change your living quarters whenever you like, and we encourage you to move in with someone in one of the larger apartments. When you want to change, just come back to this building to exchange your key. We've also included a cash card with a living stipend; if you're unfamiliar with this system, or the network established for new arrivals, you can talk to Devin in the lobby for help. It's what he's here for. If you need medical assistance, contact Mai at her desk today, or at the hospital in case of any future accidents. Again, welcome, and thank you for all your help. Irene Arrival Liaison Back behind you, others still linger, and through the translucent glass you can see a banner hanging from the tiled roof of the building across the street in the bright summer day: WELCOME TO SAENG SEONG (ENJOY YOUR STAY!)

"I don't really get it all, myself." He shrugs. "It works best with certain kinds of people from other worlds, though, so those are the kinds of people we looked for first."

And then he smiles. "That'd be helpful! I don't think the scientists are gonna want to give out data about what they're working on," At this, he makes a face; they were stingy, "But I bet there's a lot to learn from the others who were brought here. And it's a great way to make new friends too!"

Pilouette frowns thoughtfully as she listens to his explanation. "If they looked for specific kinds of people, that means there's no way they could bring someone here by mistake, right? If these scientists are going to bring people here to help, they could at least tell us all how this all works...!"

She lets out another quiet sigh before continuing. This is all a lot for her to take in at once.

"I guess I'll have to make friends here if I'm supposed to go around...touching people or whatever."

"Yeah, they're a pretty tight-lipped bunch." Ren makes a face. He's not exactly a fan of the scientists, even if they are doing work that'll help save Saeng Seong; they're just so uptight. "It's not really fair to any of you, but if we do anything to them and they don't do their work..."

Well, it would mean almost certain death for the natives. Ren's not really sure he wants to risk that.

"I think most of the people here are probably going to be really friendly. And you're nice, so you'll make friends in no time!"

[ribbonbon]

Pilouette smiles just a bit at being called nice. After all, there are few things she likes more in life than being praised.

"Well, everyone kind of has to be friendly, don't they?" She glances briefly at the letter in her hand as if to emphasize this. "...But I guess it wouldn't hurt to make some new friends. I should probably try to figure out what it is I'm doing. Thank you, um, for all your help."

She offers a polite nod. Though she's still quite nervous about things, she feels a little better after speaking with Ren.

[rekindlenpcs]

Ren glances down at the letter as well and smiles apologetically, but nods. "Being friendly will make that easier, yeah."

Then he chuckles. "Hey, no problem. It's what I'm here for. If you ever need me for anything else, you can come find me anytime. I live over in some apartments too, just not the same ones you all are in. And I'm around town a lot. You can ask anyone where I am and they should be able to point you in the right direction."
