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?

[mesmerevenant]

Check the job board? Apparently stuff has been drying up though, so you might want to be fast!

[endette]

[oh

no]

Take me there.

[mesmerevenant]

[ Gasps and places a hand oh so seriously over his chest. As if he's not having fun with this. He is a bad person. ]

So demanding!

[endette]

[Did he ever take his hands off Jun's shoulders? No, because now he's gently shaking him back and forth. New buddy!!]

I'll get lost and starve and die and my blood will be on your hands!

[mesmerevenant]

[ Takes the shaking in stride!! ]

You're exaggerating. Cone on. Just ask nicely?

[endette]

[stops shaking, because that's nicer.]

Please, Jun, can you take my sorry ass to the job board?

[mesmerevenant]

I don't know... you just assaulted me...

[ sad puppy eyes! ]

[endette]

[Two can play at this game! Only not really, because instead of saccharine manipulations, he just...picks Jun up. Wraps his arms around his waist and lifts him.]

To the job board...!

[mesmerevenant]

[ jhfdskhbg Jun does NOT know what to do about that, flailing a little before just freezing up and trying not to panic because WHAT, WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHAT!! THIS IS NOT... THE PLAN... ]

A-ah?! Hey...!

[endette]

Job board, job board, job board.

[He's just gonna pick a random direction and start walking while he chants. You can end it, Jun. You can end this suffering.]

[mesmerevenant]

[ Look let's just say thank god Jun isn't overtly possessed right now because he'd be reacting MUCH more badly if so. As it is, he's just really bewildered and struggling to keep his cool image together! ]

Are you seriously—you're not even going the right way!

[endette]

[Stops, turns, and goes the other direction!!! Jörgen tries to look edgy, but he knows in his heart he'll never be able to stop himself from this stupid shit. And neither should anyone else! It's fun!]

[mesmerevenant]

[ LOOK. IT'S FINE. Jun needs to be caught off balance and overwhelmed way more often, it's good for him. He's even starting to see the fun of it, even if he's exasperated just as equally, because this is totally absurd. ]

Jesus... You're actually carrying me the whole way?

[endette]

Of course! I'm determined. Though...it would be easier if I could princess carry you or give you a piggyback ride.

[He's tall and all, but this is still pretty awkward to do.]

[mesmerevenant]

Pass.

[ Jun couldn't live with the mortification. And hey, he's not exactly tiny himself...! ] Just... have you seen that large tower? It's around there.

[endette]

[True, but 176 cm is but a mere child compared to his 192 cm.]

That one, huh...? Be hard to miss it. But it would be such a shame to have to let you go, now. And what if I have questions!

[mesmerevenant]

I'm sure you can waylay another innocent bystander!

[endette]

But I already like you! And we're on a flower-related quest, still.

[Which can be completed without going to the job board, but shhh.]

[mesmerevenant]

[ fffff damn u genuine nice types, always able to be inexplicably charming ]

That's news to me.

[endette]

[It's not so much about being nice as it is about being...a huge dork...]

Hmmm? We definitely are. We're in this discovering meaning thing together. I couldn't let you go off on your own after you were so nice about letting me have your fortune.

[mesmerevenant]

[ That's the secret ingredient. ]

No, you totally could.

[endette]

Don't you like me, Jun?

[His turn to sound distraught!! See how you like it.]

I feel like we've gotten so close.

[hugs him tighter to emphasize.]

[mesmerevenant]

Ghk—literally?

[ He isn't falling for that! Especially when being squished. ]

[endette]

[Okay, okay, he'll loosen his hold again.]

Ha ha. It still counts for something. Lighten up, man.

[mesmerevenant]

So I can be easier to carry, right?

[ Look! He can make jokes! Even if they're terrible. Just, also, he's not a fan of being subject to someone's whims either ]
