♥ November Intro Mingle Log
November 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 is 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 around the 10th, with a proper event coming soon after applications are processed. 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, (up to) three of your belongings laid nearby or your animal friend curled up by you, waking as you do. A stone slab is not the most comfortable place to sleep, but once you're awake, a humanoid-looking robot comes into the room and explains that you're in Havenwell, then 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? Strike up a friendly conversation, get to know your neighbours! It seems as if you may be here for the long haul.
❥ PROMPT II: Buddy System
With all the changes and the fear of a secondary attack lingering, the natives are a lot more protective of their newest arrivals. When new characters begin to appear at the temples, they receive the welcome speech, get their communicators and the simple map of the city, and a warning to stay away from the walls. Then 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, "It's dangerous to go alone, so please show our newest resident around. Please be buddies!" They wait until they're certain the pair is going to be moving off together 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: Virtual Research
After the attack, every part of the city is on repair duty and the means the Entertainment District as well. As new arrivals wander the city, they might be called into one of the numerous Virtual Reality cafes. These cafes vary in layout, but most have areas for the natives to plug directly into the machines and other areas which have older looking virtual reality helmets that allow flesh bodied people experience the games. For those who need assistance with their sensory inputs, basic options like audio descriptions of visual scenes, enhanced audio and descriptive speech, closed captions, and crude mobility chairs are available. A handful of cafes have other options like direct visual or audio cortex stimulation to simulate vision or hearing, or suspension tanks to allow simulated movement, but these are currently unavailable due to damage.
All of these facilities are, unfortunately, under repair. The direct plug-in systems are easier for the robot natives to fix because they can do the most important part of it - testing - by themselves. But for the helmets and other interface systems, they need your help. Naturally, they'll pay you for the work, but they need the offworlders to play the available games and record any areas where they find glitches. Playing with a partner increases your chances of finding and fixing any issues, so feel free to log in for free for once and test any of the following games:

- Big Bass Fishing The beautiful lake has blue-green waters surrounded by forest and rocky, reedy shores. You and your companion are on a small single-motor fishing boat and you have fishing gear - two poles in the water. As the game starts up a read-out announces the objective: Catch the largest fish before the time limit ends. What's the time limit? ...Well, that's your first glitch because it reads as static. Might as well start fishing though, right? It doesn't take long to catch a few regular sized fish, nothing too exciting, and then? You get the big one - it bows your fishing rod nearly in half as you reel it up. The fish leaps into the air and you realize this is your next glitch because the fish hangs there - the size of a minivan - and yells, "BIG. BASS. FISHING. ATTACK." The fish slaps its fins and tails at the boat and now you and your fishing companion better fight this fish or you'll end up in the lake or worse.
- A (un)Familiar Experience Jump into the life of the temple familiars and see life from their perspective! Choose the temple, any temple is fine, and be transformed into a fledgling rainbow dragon, a purple mouse, a white raven, or a blue feline. You're free to move about the virtual confines of the temples and, in fact, you can even interact with other familiars in their temples - who may be other players in this game. Play, climb, try to get your fledgling wings to fly, tumble about with the other mice, enjoy your simple life as an animal! --or you would if you weren't an insane size. Rather than being a small mouse, you're the size of a horse. That fledgling rainbow dragon? About the size of a fly. The building sizes are off, too - one might have door that's 30 feet tall, but a ceiling that's only 12. Everything else seems fine, but those sizes? Well, you better figure out how to get around that.
- Robot Crossing Logging in with another character will net you a little farm and a variety of games to choose from:
- Pick and harvest as many Aellyn vegetables and fruits as you can before the timer runs out! The more you pick, the better your score. Work together with your partner to clear the field in any way you can. Strangely, once you finish clearing a tree or a field row of their bounty, they seem to magically refill when you turn your back. Strangely, when the timer runs out? It flashes 00:00 and the game...doesn't? Stop? In fact, the fruits and vegetables just keep multiplying and multiplying and if you don't hurry up you might just get buried in them all!
- With a partner, use the giant slingshot to launch comically large fruits into a garden patch of other colored fruits. Match a line of 3 or more similarly shaped fruits to clear it from the field. The more fruits you can clear, the higher your score - aka welcome to Fruit Crush. Stack lines of 6 or more to get shining clear diamond fruits that clear the entire row and snag yourself some bonus points. Or they should, but whenever you clear away a matching set, the fruits explode, sending fruit bits and juice everywhere - most notably on you and your partner. Still, the game is going on and it looks like it won't stop until you finish, so good thing it's all a computer game, right? Sure feels real though - reeeeeeally sticky.
- You and your partner(s) are given a magical golden pumpkin and it's your job to grow it into the largest pumpkin possible. Why? There's a county fair of course and the largest pumpkin wins! But how do you grow this pumpkin? Well, for whatever reason? This pumpkin is already the size of a grizzly bear and it just won't stop growing! You and your partner better find a way to stop it from growing out of control or you might get (virtually) crushed! You could do a song and dance routine together to touch the pumpkin's soul to teach it moderation or calm its insane vegetable puberty. You could hold hands and share stories and entertain the pumpkin until it feels satisfied that it's grown enough. You could just hack and slash at it in an attempt to reduce its unwieldy bulk. The possibilities are endless and so is the pumpkin's growth, so you better hurry!

Kai leaned himself back a little to look at her, motioning towards the pouch.]
Get 'em another piece, maybe?
no subject
But everything remained very serious for the moment. Kyoko nodded, mouth set in a determined line, and pulled out another piece of the fake meat. Almost on tip toes, she crept forward until she was a mere two feet away from the fledgling, where she crouched down to reach out and very gingerly drop the offering.
And then she scuttled a couple feet backwards again, still squatting. ]
H-how do I know when it's enough??
[ Though she still couldn't be called relaxed, the lines in her face softened some as she watched the jerky feast proceed. ]
no subject
He wasn't really worried though. The fledglings were a little skittish sometimes, but they'd mostly been chill.]
I... think it might eat as much as you give it, so. Maybe not too much more.
[State of the Feast: mlem.]
no subject
So that's how it is. They're really just like normal animals, huh?
[ It was kinda disappointing--or, rather, Kyoko knew it was the kind of thing she'd usually find to be a letdown--but right now she somehow couldn't summon up the will to be bothered by it. That bit of panic had taken up the rest of the energy her rage required--for the moment, anyway--and now that had faded too. Tucking her chin behind her knees, Kyoko let herself be still for another moment. ]
... I didn't know reptiles could be this pretty, though.
no subject
[Kai plopped himself down near her, with a bit more care to be ginger about it than he normally would. He didn't want to startle the dragon, nor did he want to startle the girl.]
... They are real pretty though. I spent a long time watching 'em, when I first got here. It helped, a tiny bit.
no subject
How could she relieve him of whatever obligation he felt he had to her, now? Arms still curled close around her legs, she peeked at the boy sidelong. Her voice came out small, muffled against her knees. ]
... Let's watch them together again, sometime? When you're not busy.
no subject
[He didn't think he was all that busy at all. There was lots of time for lots of activities. Sure, he was here to clean up, but it wasn't like there was the biggest rush in the world. This right here was more important, Kai was pretty sure. Even if he kinda sucked at it.
Kai chanced her a little glance.]
I'm not, really, but if you need some space... just say the word. We can definitely catch them together, sometime.
no subject
Which made it extra bad that she'd made him think she was trying to kick him out! No! Come on Kyoko!!
She sat up straight, bracing a hand on the floor as she half-uncurled herself to hurriedly turn his way. ]
That's not what I meant! I mean, not like that! Don't leave!! You wanted to come here, right? If anyone leaves right now, it should be me!
no subject
Ah. S'good thing nobody's gotta leave then. I'm not goin' anywhere just yet. [He'd been waiting to hear it from her, and this was very much not that.]
Chores ain't goin' anywhere.
no subject
[ Here she was, on her knees, fully facing him. Ready for anything! ]
Please instruct me! I can sweep, scrub, polish, dust--anything!
no subject
Right... We kinda do a bunch of that. Usually its not too much, but things were kinda hectic recently.
[Take another look around the temple, and beyond the dances of light and shadow and overall majesty was the evidence that maybe there'd been too much of a party here recently. Debris here and there, mysterious streaks across the floor, a general layer of D u s t.]
no subject
Kyoko nodded aggressively. ]
Big messes are the most satisfying kind to clean! Take me to where the brooms are! The mops and rags!!
no subject
Sure thing.
[Aaaand back up again he went, hoisting himself up with a bit of effort cuz man he just sat down. Geez. Still, he turned to hold his hand out to her-- come on, let's get off the floor.]
no subject
Taking it should have been a simple thing, a natural action, no significance, no thought required. Not that she thought Kaito was trying to get something out of her--would it be very much, if he was just holding her hand for a second?--but she couldn't stop herself from thinking about it. Did he think about it?
Shifting back on her knees, Kyoko settled her feet on the ground and pushed herself up--not quite as smoothly as she could if it had been a proper seiza, but it was still pretty easy. Folding her hands in front of her again, she gave Kai an unhappy little smile, her eyes falling from his almost as soon as they met. ]
Go ahead and leave the worst chores for me today.
no subject
This was spite, wasn't it?
Kai could hardly blame her, even though she was choosing a harder path. He was sure she'd get by just fine, but what if more things like the nightmares showed up...? Well. Kai tucked away the quiet note to keep an eye out for her, turning with a small gesture for her to follow him.]
And leave me all the boring ones? We can divy 'em up.
no subject
Still, she hoped Kaito hadn't taken her refusal the wrong way. Smile softening for a moment before it faded out, Kyoko shook her head. ]
I'm telling you, don't go easy on me!
