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.

I believe around half of the population here would want to have a headband like that one. You'll attract the jealousy of many.

[Some people are goofier than others, she's sure many wish they had cat ears]

[inquired]

[ thinks about scien saying this is for a horny hobby. hm ]

Ah. Well, it would be awfully unbecoming of a cleric to hoard such a... coveted resource.

[ said with all the dryness of the sahara ]

It seems like a bit of a joke.

[barriermaddened]

Are you associated with cats, in some way?

[Temenyas]

[inquired]

Not at all. However, one of my companions is a beastling, and these were to imitate the features of a beastling, moreso than a cat.

[ the cat is hikari. but, he explains: ]

Her idea was that if we dressed the part, she could teach us to hunt the same way that she does. Alas, fake ears and tails do not give one animal instincts. In case that was something you believed could be true.

[ at least it's a cute story and not a weirdo perv one ]

[barriermaddened]

[Blessed be Ochette]

If only it was as simple as wearing fake ears...I cannot imagine you trying to hunt something, I must admit. Even if you did have augmented senses.

[Although you could crack a deer's skull with that staff, poor deer]

[inquired]

Aha. We've barely met, and I already have that reputation?

[ strength score: 8. he does not seem bothered by this accusation at all, and in fact it just makes him laugh. ]

I don't excel at it, no. But, one can hardly resist the sparkling eyes of a child.

[barriermaddened]

[Sora thinks to herself that oh, no, it's pretty easy to resist sparkling eyes, after a while. It's a learned skill from being surrounded by teens]

Ms. Encino was suggesting perhaps the teens should be redirected to me, but I'll make sure to include you if any need of handling our younger peers appears.

[Nah, she doesn't mean it, hah]

[inquired]

[ he hums. ]

Well. What sort of shepherd would I be, could I not guide little lambs? You may, if you'd like.

[barriermaddened]

Your helpfulness is welcome!

[Hah...but in all seriousness...]

The younger ones seem to be doing well, though...I expected to see more confusion, but they all seem to have taken the situation quite well.

In fact, barely anyone here is panicking, other than about that dreadful vandalism someone had done to one of the bathroom stall. How...unusual, that there's less screaming and crying than I thought there'd be.

[Maybe we're all less of a troublesome group than Sora had thought!

as if]

[inquired]

What, is this your first time being kidnapped off to a strange place with little explanation or information to go off of?

[ obviously he is kidding ]

It seems we are for the most part, an adaptable bunch. Perhaps that's the reason we've found ourselves grouped together in this way.

[barriermaddened]

As long as our flexibility isn't the same as complacency...

[Can you imagine if people just accepted playing along t some extent--

yes sora it will happen brace yourself for the next two months]
