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?

[This girl can't be so stupid.]

You have been sending us pictures of your face for quite a while now, and in great abundance. I was half a mind to find you and mar it for you.

[WHAT THE FUCK]

[testified]

[NOT AGAIN]

you were not supposed to see those! please forgive me!
may i have them back?

[ Yeah, no time for letter formats now. ]

[skincares]

No. Consider them blackmail material.

[testified]

[ Ah, here we go... ]

blackmail? very well, what would you have me do?

in the meantime, i would formally like to request a meeting with you.

[skincares]

My. Where did all the fire from before go? Was it all an act, dear?

[testified]

if i cannot help you and you have no business with me, then i will not be trifled with. my flames merely guide me and those who seek light, but it burns all the same should you try to take it in your hands.

[skincares]

That's what I was looking for.

In any case your pictures are ugly and obnoxious, but by no means influential. You said so yourself: you don't put much stock into your looks.

[ give her a moment to cry knowing that alm will never love her and she will die alone and ugly ]

2/2

[testified]

[ 27 minutes later... ]

you're rather honest, aren't you? i suppose there is something admirable about being able to speak your mind like that. i only wish i had your courage.

could i trouble you for some advice? while it may be true that i don't fancy myself beautiful, i don't wish to be obnoxious either. even if you have more constructive criticism for me, i will be happy to hear it!

[skincares]

[... really... what sort of girl is this?]

You would openly ask help from a stranger who scorns you? Isn't that contradictory?

[testified]

why should it be? i see no reason for us to be enemies. do you?

[ If she can't make peace with one person, then she has no right to ask two nations for diplomacy. Celica herself is a pacifist, and will only engage in combat if absolutely necessary.

Needless to say, this is not one of those times. ]

[skincares]

[The next message takes a while to come, as if the sender has hesitated.]

I've a small list of reasons, if you're asking.

[testified]

splendid! that just means there are less things for us to cross off, correct?

[ Ever the optimist! ]

[skincares]

[Carmilla typically doesn't associate with "nice" people. She knows the type of person she is. A monster seeks out other monsters. The life of the common people and the goodhearted aren't for her.

Even as she thinks this, she's already typing her response. For all the venom she spits, she's remarkably pliable towards any displays of open acceptance.]

Such an attitude will ruin you one day. I suppose that would be fun to see. I would enjoy a small diversion from my dull life here.

What is your name, dear?
