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.

[someone normally comes to help jiji but scien doesn't even want to be helped so it's back to sexy rumpled]

... are you sure this isn't a hobby? I've judged people for worse.

[furry larping....]

[inquired]

[ WHY ]

No, no, nothing like it. [ a beat. ] Is wearing the ears of an animal a particular hobby, where you're from?

[egodist]

[i wish i could tell u

and he'll just meet temenos' eyes and say so plainly:]

For perverts.

[inquired]

Oh dear.

[ please react a little more to that statement ]

My, but the beastlings would blush to hear such a thing. [ thoughtfully: ] Perhaps there's someone on the ship who's better suited to them, in that case...?

[egodist]

And upon whom would you bestow the honor?

[who's getting crowned furry]

[inquired]

[ he pulls up the IRIS thing with some... fumbling. he is a ye olde who has been flavor blasted by technology in the past 24 hours so this is a struggle. but eventually, he reaches the profiles, and looks them over with a critical eye.....

and then settles on owner with a hum. ]

Perhaps.

[ assigns him furry. or pervert. ]

[egodist]

[the waiting for someone like scien is painful. it's excruciating. every second that passes is like he's hoping for someone to just give a basic tech lesson but it won't be him.

but he looks over the choice with a nod:] I wouldn't be surprised.

[scien what does that mean

now he's pulling up his own device to quickly navigate to profiles like someone who lives and breathes this stuff, but also pulls up guy's profile]

A contender to consider.

[why are they doing this]

[inquired]

[ ahhh, he makes a thoughtful noise, peering over at the profile with his hand to his chin like he is deeply considering this. temenos is also taking this so seriously. why. ]

Aha - I see where you're coming from. [ DO YOU? ] I had considered him as well. Does the screaming fit yesterday around the females of our group add or subtract to the notion, do you think?

[ lol ]

[egodist]

Adds. Definitely adds.

[scien didn't need to answer so quickly. stop stop guy is already dead]

[inquired]

Yes, I agree.

[ nods sagely like this is real science ]

Perhaps it would be best not to bestow them upon either of them. I'd hate to think of what sort of encouragement it could be taken as.

[egodist]

To invite a plague of animalistic proclivities upon the ship? Perish the thought.

[omega disease on the eudora]

[inquired]

[ why did you make me read that with my own eyes ]

There's hardly any nature here. Let's not invite that to be the first brush.

[ he will guard the world from this nightmarish omega realm except he's giving them to dahut ]

[egodist]

[it could happen.....]

Must the creation of civilization not start somewhere? You could be the forefather of a movement.

[well now he's just fucking around]

[inquired]

[ thinks about canon. hmm ]

Alas. I'm quite content with my flock as is.

[egodist]

Suit yourself.

[shepherd guy.... scien will just finish?? dressing??? sort of? he just puts on his labcoat haphazardly with his one arm and then calls it a day]

May some other chosen one guide us before we all crash and burn.

[but

based on his tone he clearly thinks it's too late]

[inquired]

[ lol. ]

Hmm, indeed. May the Sacred Flame light their path, or something like that.

[ the path of omega creation. haunting. ]
