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?

[pigii]

you can do lots of things!
you can call people and send messages... but i guess we can do that in our heads anyway?
um
you can play games too, but smartphones are a lot better for that... (︶︹︺)

[ you can't even play hate die on a flip phone. what is the POINT. ]

[dividepain]

We can! But I'm not sure how it works yet...
What are those smartphones?
This one has only a game called Snek or something like that...I'm not sure.

[ He likes the name already!! Much better than a flip phone. ]

[pigii]

they're smart phones!

[ very apt, ruby. ]

they have touch screens instead of number pads and usually they can go on the internet
you can download apps and do lots of other things, too! i like playing hate die and idolm@nager on mine

[dividepain]

[ That sounds pretty legit, to be honest...even if he's not really following. Internet? Downloading? Just what are those things? This is what you get when you're a jrpg character... ]

Hate die? That doesn't sound too nice. What is it about?

[ It really doesn't. Idolm@nager sounds much, much better. ]

[pigii]

it's about idols!

[ yeah... she knows it isn't the best name for it. but it's still fun! ]

i don't like the plot very much (｡•́︿•̀｡)
but the songs are really cute! and the characters are pretty...

[dividepain]

Idols? Does that mean it's some kind of a religion thing?

[ Is this statement really that far from the truth... ]

Maybe I could give it a try, how do you play it? (｡•́︿•̀｡)

[pigii]

wha

[ someone that doesn't know about idols? no. that can't be. ]

no! it's not about religion ( °ロ°;;)
you know, idols! singers that perform on stage for lots and lots of people
the game is really easy to play! you just tap the screen to the rhythm of the songs

[dividepain]

Perform on stage? So they're kind of like Magilou? She's a witch and she loves to entertain people.

[ NOT EVEN CLOSE ]

[pigii]

you know a witch??????
is she like qri-san?

[ not that she even knows what qri is like, but that's the only other witch she knows about... ]

[dividepain]

I do! But only one. They're not that common, apparently.
I don't know much about Qri, just the basics from the letter. But I doubt it. Magilou is unique.

[ If he only knew that Magilou pretended to be Qri when she arrived. If he only knew. ]

Maybe she would like to try this idol thing, too...at least someone would watch her shows.

[ This kid is savage. ]
