With a creaking groan on Saturday morning, the stasis bay door finally opens up, revealing a broad, clean hallway and a lit sign overhead that says WELCOME TO THE CSS EUDORA. Lining the walls, you'll find that there are square lockers to grab your non-sentient belongings that weren't inside of your cold sleep pod (your home item and two changes of clothes from your canon). Along with those, you will find that your belongings have been carefully set inside of a sleek, black courier bag, nestled in among a few welcome gifts waiting for you! Upon opening it up, you'll find the following items to use as you see fit:

🪐 A luxurious eyemask, to block out the haters (and any solar flares)
🪐 A handkerchief, with hand-stitched embroidery.
🪐 A mini radio that plays some old tunes from the 90s and back, it also works as a bluetooth speaker for I.R.I.S.
🪐 A moon lamp, to provide some comforting light
🪐 A simple, but useful, multi-tool, closed when you find it
🪐 A small, refillable medical kit, pre-packed for your potential bumps and bruises (1 minor heal)
🪐 A few packets of freeze-dried fruit, to chase away the immediate munchies
🪐 A mini craft cocktail kit, to drink away your troubles (made into a mocktail kit if you are below 21)

Take your time to familiarize yourself with your new surroundings and freshen up in the communal bathroom that's been made available. You will also find that your living quarters have been neatly arranged along a hallway, just waiting for you to find your name on the door—meet your roommate!

Why, you can even enjoy an informative slideshow presentation that plays in the mess hall on all of the screens! It might not be a very big one, but the world of the CSS Eudora is your oyster for a few hours. There's plenty of time between the auspicious announcement and 1500 hours for you to get to know your fellow junior crewmates.

Welcome to the second part of our introductory weekend, this time featuring some of your new home and a few special surprises. Have a look around your brand new home, and if you have any questions, we will field them in the server.

🚀 Your I.R.I.S. and you! Characters will find that their I.R.I.S. communications device is now up and fully functioning. There are quite a few features for you to explore, including crew member profiles. Why not have a look and see just what kind of information has been compiled about you? And who exactly you're working with. The I.R.I.S. itself also comes witih a handy dandy guide explaining all of its fun features.

🚀 Some things to look out for include two events that will occur today and tomorrow. The first event will begin on (2/24) - 12PM PST | 3PM EST, and the second event will follow on (2/25) - 12PM PST | 3PM EST, so stay tuned for a ping in the server. Even if you are busy today, please feel free to tag in at a later time.

[ Cat ears to look like better hunters? This man doesn't look like the image of what a hunter sounds like though. But then again, Yuri herself is probably not the poster child of what a mercenary-esque person should look like either. ]

Did you need to blend in somehow?

[ How does that work, buddy. Enlighten her. ]

[inquired]

[ looks at his str 8. you're correct. ]

Mmm... close, but not quite. [ temenos laughs a little as he says it, reaching back into the locker. there's a tunic, a pair of armbands, a pair of shorts... a childish little bow with sticky suction cup arrows.

as he tells the story, it's with a note of clear fondness, amusement. ]

My companion is an expert hunter, but she is not quite human - she is a beastling. Part human, part animal. We received an invitation from a guild of hunters to join their ranks, and so naturally, she took it upon herself to share her skills. Her thought was that if we dressed the part - like her - then perhaps we might act the part. As it turns out, wearing a pair of ears does not grant one animal-like senses.

Surprising as that may be. [ tee hee. ] Though, when met with her enthusiasm, it was quite difficult to say no.

[applebough]

[ Yuri is momentarily distracted by the suction cup arrows before looking back at Temenos. A beastling--part human, part animal... they exist? She's learning so many things while she's here. She'd normally question their existence and wonder if he's pulling her leg, but after seeing Sidon yesterday, she can't really refute anything. So many things can be possible and they're not Abnormalities. Amazing.

After getting over her initial surprise, she can't help but to smile a little at the story. ]

She sounds like quite the person. I don't think I would be able to refuse either...

[inquired]

That she is.

[ yuri... baby? what a baby girl?

anyway. temenos returns the smile, his expression warm. ] I've never quite met anyone like her before, in every manner of the word.

[applebough]

[ What a warm smile... Yuri almost feels that it's wasted on her, even if he supposedly smiles like to this to most people on the regular. There's no way she would be special. ]

I think it's nice that you managed to have one thing that reminds you of a fun time.

[ She's hoping that said companion isn't dead and this is a memento, because that would be too sad... ]

Are you two close?
