[JANUARY INTRO LOG | WORLD TWO]

[spellbindmods]

Who: All coven members, especially new folk!

When: Day 160
Open/Closed: Open to All
IMPORTANT: While some prompts are newbie exclusive, all characters can tag this intro log!

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?

Comments

some but we don't talk about it

just zombies thankfully (for now)

[allbroea]

My condolences. Even with zombies alone, that sounds unimaginably difficult. [ now he, too, can live in fear of the zombie outbreak. ]

I imagine a civilization such as this has been a welcome sight for you.

[endette]

welcomer with my sister with me but yeah

[that's not a word]

[allbroea]

[ ! ]

Did you arrive together?

[endette]

I wish

haven't seen her

hate it

[He'll know Soon, but not just yet.]

[allbroea]

[ oh, he ... completely misinterpreted that text. now they're both sad. ]

If you tell me about her, I can keep an eye out.

[endette]

short plat blonde hair and missing her left arm name is elise brown skin

who do you want me to keep an eye out for?

[allbroea]

You'll be the first to hear if I meet her, Jörgen.

[ instead of sending a description, he sends an image of himself holding a device. ]

Anyone bearing this symbol of a horned lion. It would be worn on the shoulder. [ but they weren't exactly in-uniform at the time, either. if he has to pick one: ] Failing that, a boy of average height with messy black hair and about as pale as the snow he lives in. Light purple eyes. I imagine he would have a tachi with him. His name is Rean Schwarzer.

[endette]

thanks man

how many horns on that lion and what's a tachi

[allbroea]

Just one. A tachi is an Eastern sword. It's rather slim and slightly curved, as I recall.

[endette]

unicorn lion... leocorn

ohhh yeah ok I'll look!

[allbroea]

[ jörgen why ]

I would advise against referring to the proud symbol of Thors with preposterous names.

Nonetheless, thank you.

[endette]

[mostly because he can.]

man thor walks on some rainbow bridge he probably thinks unicorns are badass and not just because they have a sword coming out of their face

LEOCORN!!

[allbroea]

[ he thought he was lost about zombies

it takes him a Good While to make something of that text. ]

For you, "Thor" is a man who walks on rainbow bridges and appreciates horned creatures. Yes?

[ slowly but surely, other world culture shock is getting less potent. ]

[endette]

YOU CAN'T HAVE THOR AND HAVE HIM NOT BE GOD OF THUNDER YOU JUST CAN'T WHERE DO YOU THINK THURSDAY CAME FROM

[allbroea]

[ ??? OOPS ]

Thor is a Master Quartz and has nothing to do with Thursday, as far as I'm aware.

I admit I have no idea what the etymological origins of Thor are, however. I would have never expected someone to tell me he was a god.

[ he absolutely assumes jörgen is serious about worshipping thor after that response. ]

[endette]

Thor = Thor's Day = Thursday

anyway yeah he's a god and he has a cool hammer what does master quartz Thor do

[allbroea]

[ he doesn't respond to the thursday comment directly, but he thinks about it. that is interesting. ]

It's a wind-aspected quartz that re-energizes the user during combat. Handy for a prolonged fight.

I can't deny the possibility it received its name from your Thor, considering its element. What a strange coincidence.

[endette]

so like magic rocks

you have thunderstones and stuff

[allbroea]

Yes. I suppose you could call them magic rocks and perhaps even thunderstones, though thunder magic is produced entirely with ... windstones.

[ hey shehui government don't read this convo ]

[endette]

k but I don't think dokemon had windstones

[allbroea]

[ W H Y ]

Dare I ask what dokemon is.

[endette]

it's a video game u collect ALL the cute monsters and take over the competition or w/e because ur the best monster owner

[allbroea]

What is a video game?

[ yes he thinks people are playing zemuria board games or something. ]

[endette]
