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.

[ Turns out that Yuri is Shoma's roommate and she's at Room 009, finally putting the black courier bag down on the ground. Phew. She starts taking things out of it, such as the moon lamp that goes on her desk. Since there seems to be two of most things except the bed, she'll place her things on one half of the small room. ]

It's not big, but it's cozier than I thought... I hope my roommate will be a decent person.

[ Yuri seems to be very organized too, making sure her half of the room is neat and the things are put away in appropriate drawers. Medkit goes there, multi-tool goes here... dried fruit packs go in the desk drawer so she can have easy access for snacking if she needs to. ]

[solesuccess]

[ she's so cute and so thoughtful. it's very nice, honestly. not that her roommate has any idea what's going on, and for a while yuri actually is alone. whoever she's rooming with doesn't seem to come back for some time.

but somewhere around the time she's done unpacking everything and getting settled in, the door will swing open and roboji wheels into the room ahead of shoma. the boy turns to shut the door, not entirely thinking much about this whole rooming thing, but when he looks up and sees her he pauses. ]

Oh. [ oh. he's more surprised than anything. ] ...Yuri, right?

[applebough]

[ Yuri thought she would have been alone longer, so when the door suddenly opens with Roboji wheeling in, she's nearly startled. ]

Yes. Shoma and Roboji.

[ It's hard to forget a genuine robot that isn't made for survival. Kinda. She quietly sighs in relief though. She's so glad her roommate is not a nutjob. ]

It looks like I'll be your roommate.

[solesuccess]

[ he seems to relax a little when she confirms she remembers them, though now that they're here he's really thinking over the situation. right. roommates. ]

Better than the pods. [ there are definitely worse people that he could be stuck with. yuri seems nice enough (if a little nervous?) and that benefits him perfectly fine. he has not noticed the bed situation yet because he's moving to the other desk to set down his bag. ] I'll try to be a decent one then.

[ it's been a while since he's shared a space with anyone, but...it can't be that hard. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri has long since noticed the single bed, and she's honestly not fretting about it too much. She knows she can keep her hands to herself, but sleeping with someone else on the bed might take some getting used to. Hell, sleeping on a comfortable (ymmv) bed like this would need adjustment time. ]

If you need anything, I can try my best to help. Did you get a good look around the place?

[solesuccess]

[ that's fine honestly because shoma is truly considering sleeping under one of the desks just to give yuri the whole bed and they can figure it out later. that can come up at another time. as it is... ]

Roboji and I have been checking what's available. There's still a lot I want to look at, but...so far it's not too bad. Did you? Or did you come here first?

[applebough]

[ There is absolutely no way she would let Shoma sleep on the floor so they're probably going to argue about this ]

I picked up my things and looked around on the way here. There's a simulation room. It has such beautiful scenery... Even if it isn't real, it was very immersive.

[solesuccess]

[ they are absolutely going to argue about this, help. the simulation room catches his interest though, even while he's looking at their window that they can customize. ]

That's how you know it's a good simulation. I haven't been that far yet. I saw it was there, but I didn't test it yet. [ ...heh. ] For a while I thought this whole place was kind of a simulation, too. But it's starting to feel a little too real for that.
