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.

[riverbeans]

Are you going to keep trying? [and getting shocked?]

[rav3n]

[He wants to... but...]

Better to leave it for now. Sometimes they'll lock up if you keep going. [What about the physical shocks, Luke. No? Okay]

[riverbeans]

[LUKE........]

Is that so? Better safe than sorry, I guess. If you do get anywhere with it, though, I'd be curious to know.

[rav3n]

[It's fine]

Mm, yeah. Right now, I think the main goal is getting in touch with people... if I can do that, I'll let you know.

[riverbeans]

Thanks. If I could manage to at least send a message home to let them know I'm fine, that'd alleviate some of my worries...

[rav3n]

[Luke's gaze softens, and he nods, understanding.]

Right. I'll keep working at it.

[riverbeans]

Of course, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. It seems unfair to make you do all the work.

[rav3n]

Don't worry about it! I'd be doing this anyway. [Since he also wants to go home! He's busy!!!] I'll be sure to let you know, though.

[riverbeans]

Thanks. Need a drink or anything while you're at it?

[rav3n]

I'm okay. But if you're getting something for yourself, I'll take a G*tor*de. [Since the drinks are free and all, he doesn't mind asking.]

[riverbeans]

Yeah, I could use a drink myself. G*tor*de it is!

[briefly leaves to go fetch hydration........ comes back with a baja blast-off for himself and a g*tor*de for luke]

[rav3n]

Thanks!

[When Charles comes back, Luke's abandoned the I.R.I.S. to fiddle with the radio... which, just as Charles returns, hits its weirdass message:]

...blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this ███████, and bless██ a█e tho██ who hear ███ obe█ wha█ ██ ████ in it, ██████ ███ t█m█ is ████... Give tithe today!

...Huh.

[riverbeans]

[...

puts the g*tor*de bottle by luke and uncaps his own baja blast-off.]

Huh.

[rav3n]

Not exactly what I was going for...

[riverbeans]

Did we just stumble across a church sermon or something...?

[rav3n]

It'd almost make more sense if all this was religious.

[CULTS,]

[riverbeans]

... You're not wrong, actually.

[rav3n]

[Wouldn't it be funny if that really was the plot.

But for now he just fiddles with the radio some more, then sighs when he doesn't pick anything up.]

I'll take a closer look at this later. [It's probably not powerful enough to pick up anything useful, but hey, maybe he can modify it? (He cannot. GET NERFED IDIOD)]

[riverbeans]

[get nerfed...]

Hey, it's good to pass the time with, at least. That seems to be something we'll have a lot of.
