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.

[ hm. it's complicated to say what he's thinking because again, it's fine for him to volunteer the information when he wants to, but he's more cautious when people outright ask.

even moreso now that she says it's a mean of tracking resources. he doesn't really respond to that, giving her a blank look. ]

If something's needed, we can check and see if it's light enough for Roboji to lift.

[barriermaddened]

A fair enough compromise.

[It's not downright saying 'yeah no fuck off the robot wont be used for anything ever ever ever', so that's acceptable enough, she figures]

I imagine a possible scenario would be trying something open, if not by jamming the appendages of the robot into a space, by using its strength sa a lever.

[To get into places where one wouldn't want to be, perhaps? Or open compartments barred to them? Apparently Sora doesn't rule out a need to do such things, in case the company becomes blatantly sketchy about anything.

More than they have already]

[solesuccess]

[ he just raises an eyebrow to that, continuing to work. ]

Yeah, no, I'm not going to use Roboji as a crowbar. [ he understands the idea, but also, no. ] But there are other ways to take care of those kinds of situations.

[barriermaddened]

[Dang, that was a bust. Oh well, there are many ways to skin a cat. She might figure something else when it's needed, she thinks]

What would your suggestions be, Mr. Enda?

[solesuccess]

Depends on the problem. [ simple answer. ] And even if faced with the same problem twice, the solution might not be the same.

[barriermaddened]

Perhaps. At least even though we're currently in a spaceship, away from home, and surrounded by far more advanced technology...surely certain...problems still can be solved with enough elbow grease.

[It better!

And in a way she'd be...half-right, because the Wednesday events of having to clean and fix stuff sure will show even in a place like this such mundane problems arise and had solutions that aren't too different from anything they know.

It just was the environment made the problems be weird as hell]

[solesuccess]

We'll probably find out sooner or later. [ absently said, if only because he's not sure what else he can say to that. he agrees, in a sense, but he also would prefer to do things his way.

alas. they'll just have to wait and see how things go. and we can probably call this one done nick! ]
