September Intro Mingle Log

Welcome to Hugtopia, and to the city of Havenwell. This mingle is meant for new arrivals to get settled and meet the other inhabitants. New characters should be the only top-levels but everyone should feel free to tag around and make new friends. Who knows, you may find that Perfect Hug in here. You can use the prompts here, or create a wildcard of your own.

ICly, this takes place from the 2nd to the 16th and then we'll have a shiny new event post up for you all soon after that date range. The prompts below are optional, but are a way to get you started if you wish. To help you create your own prompts, please take a look through our Settings and FAQ. Click on each prompt's title to see the text. If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the FAQ or to the Mod Question thread below.



PROMPT I: Awakening
When you awaken, you're in the last outfit you remember wearing, three of your belongings laid nearby or your animal friend curled up by you, waking as you do. It's not the most comfortable place to sleep, a stone slab, but once you're awake, a humanoid-looking robot comes in and explains you're in Havenwell and leads you out of the room and into the main portion of the temple where a welcoming committee of similarly humanoid-looking robots hand over a clear smartphone-sized tablet, some starting funds, and explain their dilemma. Then they release you into Havenwell to pick your new home from free housing in the city and give you the chance to settle. It might be a bit disorienting, but thankfully there seem to be a lot of robots and even some non-robots around. Maybe ask them for help?


PROMPT II: Buddy System

With all the changes going on, it might be hard to be a new arrival to Havenwell. The natives understand! Sort of. When some new arrivals begin to appear at the temples, receive the welcome speech, get their communicators and the simple map of the city, they get taken to the front of the temple by a helpful robotic priest. Rather than turn the newcomers loose right away, they pull someone seemingly at random off the street and push the two people together with a cheerful, "Here's your guide to Havenwell! It's dangerous to go alone, so be buddies!" before going back inside.

They try to place a new arrival with one of those who previously arrived, but who can keep track of all that, right? Characters may find themselves thrown together with an actual veteran or with another new arrival who only came here a day or even just an hour before them! Good luck helping each other out, offworlders, and don't lose your buddy!


PROMPT III: Weather Wildcard

Havenwell's weather is generally so well controlled, with beautiful blue skies and temperate climes that it's hard to remember that there's a whole world out there that might not be so nice. Every so often, however, the controls break and something not so nice and temperate comes through. Pockets of unpleasant weather happens all over the city at random intervals and new arrivals might find themselves and others caught without warning. Is that a snowstorm with green snow? Sure is. A windstorm that only seems to affect three streets? Yup. Did a deluge of rain just pour the equivalent of an Olympic sized swimming pool of water on you? Uh-huh, sure did. A deep cold fog that suddenly rolls in and blankets your entire area? Yeeaaah... hopefully there's someone around to help you get about and find shelter or just dry off and get away from it all. Good luck, offworlder.

[Oh... oh, that girl looks lost. Akira makes his way over, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Hey... do you need some help, miss?

Oh, um. If it's not too much trouble...

[Lillie trails off. She doesn't want to be a bother, but she also has no idea what she's going to do. For the first time in a long time, she has no place to go and nobody to tell her what to do next.]

I'm just a little overwhelmed, I'm sorry.
velvetinmate: (somebody gotta raise a little hell!)

It's no trouble at all. This place can be a lot for newcomers.

[At least, he's assuming she is. He offers her a sheepish smile.]

You are new, right? Want me to show you around?
flower_of_innocence: https://www.zerochan.net/Pok%C3%A9mon+Sun+%26+Moon (Hm?)

Sorry for the delay, feel free to drop if this is too late!

[personal profile] flower_of_innocence 2019-09-27 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm new. I just arrived a few minutes ago, actually...

[Lillie looks to the streets and internally frets. She's terrible with directions, and as much as she doesn't want to bother others and as much as they insist she isn't bothering them, she'll be lost in seconds if she tries to navigate by herself.]

It would be nice to have some guidance, yes. The priests at the temple were kind enough to tell me where I could go to get some basic supplies and housing, but I'm awful with directions.
velvetinmate: (but we gonna raise hell anyway)

no worries!

[Akira follows her gaze for a few moments, then rubs the back of his neck. Yeah, he can kind of... see where the issue might be if someone's not great with directions.]

I don't mind helping out at all. [He smiles warmly, then slides his hands into his pockets.] My name's Akira, by the way. What's yours?
