soul_ooc | Intro Event!

Attention, Soul Campaign!

We've decided to do some last minute jumbling of the intro log for a bit of fun and variety. On the day that guests are supposed to arrive into Death City, a sandstorm will sweep through the city and for one reason or another, the BREW decides to have a small hiccup.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

While the intro log goes on, some new guests will actually end up in the city premises in the middle of the storm, and it will be up to you, our most trusted agents, to take them back to Shibusen for shelter (right up the stairs, too).

We don't want to disrupt previously planned encounters in the intro log, however, so apart from some changes in agenda, the welcome tour will continue as planned. What will change?

Well, for one thing, there won't be any AROUND SHIBUSEN thread, since the city will be in a storm. The CASUALTY COMMUNAL thread will also be gone, and people will need to sleep in the Shibusen dorms for the night. The SOUL PERCEPTION thread will take place within Shibusen premises, right after the thread AROUND SHIBUSEN.

Some things to note:

► The day change will last an entire week irl, because we usually start accepting apps on a Sunday and it won't give everyone enough time to enjoy the day change otherwise.
► We will be adding a DORM thread for in the intro log so the newbies and their helpers can also interact while dorming and bunking together (or we might separate that into a new, related log, since that will be mostly OPEN to anyone stuck in Shibusen, new or veteran guests alike). For the purpose of this particular event, we can assume that Shibusen wasn't able to prepare very much for the sandstorm, so the men and women can end up dormed together by accident.
► You can take your rescuees into your character's residences, too, but makes sure the character passes by Shibusen some time to get their communicator and their meister/weapon thing checked. This latter part is handwaved on the Shibusen side.
► The sandstorm log will remain in the Intro Log post, but let's keep this for the guest characters getting lost in the city and their rescuers. If you want to do your own sandstorm shenanigans unrelated to the new guests and the dorms, please do so in your individual logs. We'll leave it up to you to make your own open/private logs!
► The sandstorm will last until the morning of the next day, but will dissipate around mid-morning. The new guests will of course be fed in the school premises, and while the dorms are a bit sparse (details in the log to go up), the food in Shibusen is good.
► For that matter, any veteran guest who ends up stuck in Shibusen because of the storm can also partake of the dorms and free food. Makes you want to volunteer, doesn't it!

For the convenience of getting your characters wandering into the city in the middle of the storm, let's say that the sandstorm came all of a sudden and took the city by surprise. Fortunately, it's all natural! This time. For reference on how it looks like, watch this clip from our neighbor Arizona.

If you would like to volunteer or change your volunteering thread, please do so here. Unless otherwise stated, anyone who put themselves in the Around Death City and Casualty Communal log will be transferred to the other threads. Thank you!

Feel free to use this post to coordinate your activities. Comment HERE for questions, or you can email us at soulcampaign@gmail.com.

If you know anyone coming in with a new character, you can link this over to them, too. We don't mind some early plotting if they prefer it.
