How did you get into this building? This apartment room? What the fuck is going on? Let's refer back to this page for a semi in-depth, wow so detailed, explanation of your current situation. You'll also have a letter slipped under your door with some explanation about your whole coven situation, as well as info that explains you have magic now! And yet what kind of magic is conveniently left out. Are you up to speed? Great. Now, here's the question of the hour: what are you going to do about all this? A ▢ If you're the sensible sort and want to explore your new digs before slinking around Shehui, you're in luck! You've got easy access to your apartment, and it's luckily not on lockdown right now. Feel free to check out your room, raid the fridge -- oh, and saying hello to your roommates should also be on your to-do list. B ▢ Let's say that hanging out with these people is a little overwhelming...that's fine! There are plenty of things to do in the apartment building without interacting with roomies! There are vending machines to prop up, a leisure floor that contains a totally vacant air hockey table and a nice garden to relax in. C ▢ But ah, there's also venturing outside! Out front is the job board, which is a nice place to hit up if you're looking to add to your currently fat but depleting credit account. The problem is that the jobs are currently disappearing quickly, and those around you aren't giving you such nice looks. This apartment building is a known problem area at this point, and your signet doesn't do anything to settle their fears.

D ▢ With new year's week coming to an end, the residents of Shehui are feeling more celebratory than somber now. A lot of businesses are closed in order to enjoy themselves and ring in the new year the right way. A lot of restaurants and bars are currently offering specials, from free drinks to cheap food in order to pull in the holiday crowd. If you're looking to meet people and socialize in Shehui, this is the best way to do it. E ▢ Also because it's the post holiday season, stores are trying to push out the rest of their overstock merch. One item of note that's being peddled quite often is a cell phone. From tiny flip phones to the latest Orange product, cellphones are a necessity in this modern society. Get yours right now and begin texting right away! There are a few social apps that are installed, so you might be lucky enough to connect with another coven member! They also have Redmolar capability, which will automatically allow you to text those with phones in the area. Maybe send some mysterious stranger texts? F ▢ While you're hustling around Shehui, you may realize that the telepathic messages get stronger -- perhaps the new coven members are near? In general, you may be subject to telepathic messages about current Shehui goings on, random thoughts or requests to meet up at so-and-so location. A.K.A. let's utilize that telepathy...it may not last forever! G ▢ Because the week of remembrance is still going on, flowers are littering the streets, though most of them are dead. Bunches of flowers are being sold, and flower fortunes are a popular activity during this part of the holiday. There are fortune tellers on the street who will give you your flower of the year, but it's more fun to have them read with one another! There are digital cards that you can buy that will allow you to read fortunes on the go -- simply tap the screen of the card and your flower will be decided. Not happy with your choice? Too bad! It won't randomize to something different, no matter how hard you try. H ▢ While a lot of Shehui citizens are trying to avoid the coven members like the plague, a small alien child isn't so much concerned with who helps her, just as long as someone does. She accidentally left her house's door open and her five new kittens are suddenly missing! Where are they? Who knows! But she'd certainly like some help looking for them. I ▢ As the day winds down, snow falls on Shehui for the last time this season. The government is getting rid of their supplies that create the festive weather. This is old hat for older coven members, but for newbies? You better enjoy the snow while you can. After an hour or so, it piles up enough to truly be utilized for merriment...this also means that it's pretty easy to get snowed in if you happen to be in a building during the snow fall, which also creates some interactive opportunities. J ▢ Wildcard! How will your character interact with this new and unusual world?

[ Noctis will just be a hapless victim of countless photos being assaulted into his phone which isn't all that different from the norm. At first, he thinks it's his best friend up and about, eagerly sending him a few sightseeing photos. Except the sheer number of terrible ones is more than he's used to seeing from Prompto. Did his camera break or something? And why is he obsessed with taking so many photos of this one girl... actually, that's also not different from the norm, but this is starting to get a bit stalkery by now.

Come on, Prompto, have some restraint.

He's just about to text those words to his friend after maybe the 50th or so photo before stopping short of the task, noticing they're coming from a different source than the usual. On the plus side, this means his friend isn't being creepy. On the down side, who is sending these photos to him...?

Better to think it's just his best friend texting from elsewhere. Who else would text him? ]

Did you get a new phone, Prompto? Don't tell me you dropped your old one in the toilet.
Might want to stop following that girl before she notices, too.

[testified]

[ Celica reads the text and correctly assumes it's not something meant for her eyes. The thing she does get wrong is assume that she's being followed by this "Prompto" figure. A Duma faithful? No...

They wouldn't drop their items in a toilet. ]

dear stranger

i believe "that girl" has intercepted your message. if i am being followed, i must ask you to desist at once. however, if there is something you want from me, i implore you to speak with me in person. i only wish to resolve this matter peacefully.

sincerely, celica

[armigers]

[ Wait, wait! He's not the one stalking anyone here. Did he send his message to the wrong person?! Okay, now this seems bad on his part, and he struggles with what to type back to amend the situation. ]

No, it's not like that. I'm not following you. Thought my friend was.

[ Not the first time he's thrown Prompto under the bus, unless... ]

Were you the one who sent me all those weird pics?

[testified]

[ "Pics"... Celica assumes this is another lingo for those "photos". (she's learning so many new words!) ]

greetings

there is a chance that your assumption may be true, and if so, i would like to offer my sincerest apologies. i am still new to this way of communication, but it is no excuse to bother you or anybody else with it.

having said that, what did you mean by weird?

sincerely, celica

[armigers]

[ Maybe 'weird' wasn't the word to go with as he may have offended the strange lady. He winces a bit before typing- ]

You don't know what a cell phone is, either?

[ These sad, unenlightened folks, living in a technology desert. How did they ever cope? ]

And they weren't bad. Just out of focus, off center, stuff like that.

[ She'd think it was weird too if she got a close up of someone's nose out of nowhere, but on the plus side, she looks like she has clean pores? ]
