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

[ A quick nod is his reply, though he's not sure why it bothers him so much. He barely knew the guy who disappeared. It just seemed so ...sudden. Lacking in closure. Gone without a single word, and perhaps because so many other losses had compounded together before that one, he feels it so acutely.

But there are more pressing matters to discuss, veering away fast from his own personal discomfort. Might as well try and fill the guy in as best as he can. ]

A few. I came here with a friend of mine. Don't know if you know him, but he's kind of hard to miss. Blond hair-

[ He mimes the unique spiked up style before holding his hand flat before him. ]

About this tall, freckles, usually has his camera out, answers to the name Prompto?

[bulletbiter]

[ He takes a slight step back when Noctis mimes at himself, giving the youth a once-over while trying to imagine. ]

I think I might have passed him once or twice. How is he like?

[ If this young man is going to take it hard when a friend is gone, then all the more he'll be worried for him. Goodness, why are there so many youths?

(julius you're 20)

Still, it seems beneficial to know more of the new coven so that he can check up on them if necessary.]

[armigers]

Kind of like a dog.

[ He means that in an endearing way but also poking fun at his friend. ]

A dog that takes a lot of pictures and doesn't know how to play fetch.

[ It would certainly be a lot easier on him if Prompto would periodically grab his shoes for him, but he'll take what he can get, he supposes. ]

He's the only one from my world, and as far as I can tell, don't know why us two were chosen.

[ Well, he knows why he himself was chosen, but Prompto doesn't deserve to be here. Neither does this guy at all from what he can tell. ]

Looks like they might just pick out whoever they feel like from different worlds.

[ That would explain why they're currently trapped here with a dragon and a bunch of teen idols. ]

[bulletbiter]

[ Julius closes his eyes, and for a moment he's reminded of someone else by that description - a person with cheerfulness and loyalty much like a puppy, a person whose good heart had ultimately been used to kill him.

Thus it puts Noctis' concern into a painfully clear perspective, at least to him. ]

It certainly seems so. However, you have a friend here. That's not so bad.

[ By working with someone you trust, it'd make the experience more bearable. ]

[armigers]

You're the only from yours?

[ Just hazarding a guess, but this guy doesn't look like he has many friends to begin with. Noctis isn't sure if he's up to volunteering for the task, but he's already become an unwitting companion by virtue of having agreed to this job to begin with, so he guesses he's somehow already committed himself to this.

Things could be worse. He doesn't seem like a bad guy. Certainly... different, but who isn't in this place? ]

Guess now you can say you know at least one other person.

[ He points to himself with vague enthusiasm. ]

[bulletbiter]

[ The gesture brings a slight smile to his own expression - a slightly awkward offer, but then again he'd do something similar in the same situation. ]

What world are you from?

[ The more people he knows, the better. From his experience, a second perspective can prevent bad things from happening. ]

[armigers]

Eos. Doubt you've heard of it.

[ And if he has, that's news to him. He hasn't exactly run into many people from his world, which makes him wonder if that technically makes him an alien. Are they all aliens to other people? Prompto is definitely an alien.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand... ]

They don't seem to be consistent about where they pluck people from. How about you?

[bulletbiter]

[ Even if they are from different worlds, they are still human in their hearts. That's what counts. ]

I come from Earth, though I have met people from different versions of Earth itself.

[ He looks down at his hands briefly, before: ]

Although if we hail from different places, there are things that unites us despite that.
