INTRO EVENT ;; OPEN

Who: Everyone!
Where: All over the city!
When: June 19th
Summary: The newcomers to El Sera have arrived.
Rating: PG-13ish, likely!

For everyone who arrives in El Sera that day, it's the same. Whoever the newcomer might be, when he opens his eyes, he's alone in a calm quiet room. In front of him is a box. In his hand is a letter:

Hello. I'm sure you've got a lot of questions, so I'll do my best to answer them.

To start, you aren't on your home world anymore. You're in a city called El Sera, in a country called America, on a planet called Earth. A lot of you might recognize the name Earth, and you might even be from it, but if you're reading this then I can promise you one thing--this isn't the Earth you're thinking of.

Magic exists in this world, and that magic is what pulled you here. It's given you magic of your own, if you didn't already have it, and the ability to defend yourself from the monsters that inhabit this world. I want to ask you to take a more proactive role in fighting these creatures and do more than just defend yourself, but I'm a transplant from another world myself. I understand some of what you're going through and I won't force you into it, but it makes it easier for us -- Xochipilli -- to find a way to send you home.

Whatever you decide, whether to join us or strike out on your own, is up to you. I only ask that you keep your magical abilities and status as, well, an
alien hidden. Xochipilli will do its best to hide and protect you, but there are limits to what we're capable off. This city is a bit of an odd one, so simply behave like you belong and most people won't give you another glance.

Sincerely,
Jackson Rau


The box primarily contains any objects or clothing of the newcomer that would draw undue attention in their new, modern surroundings. However, it also holds a phone complete with instructions, a key to the recipient's room, a map to their apartment or dorm (with an attached note reminding them that their roommate is probably a normal person and that they should maintain their secrecy), and a plastic debit card.

Whoever arrives here, the setup is the same: In front of him is a set of double doors, leading into a room filled with milling Xochipilli employees. Any questions he has about the city can be answered here--and if he's discrete enough about asking, he can even get some basic instruction on how to use their magic.

Behind him is a door labeled 'EXIT'. Should he choose to step through this door, he'll find himself in a deserted stairwell that opens up into an alleyway.

The choice is up to him.

[To say Suzuki is disgruntled about this turn of events is a gigantic understatement, but the second he'd realized that EXIT that had been offered to him turned out to be a huge lie, the most he can do is walk around and hope that at some point he'll wake up from this weird dream he's having.

That is, until he gets distracted by a sudden loud sound, and as he pauses and looks around, he realizes that someone else is caught up in wandering around. Not very intently though.]


...you okay? [He calls out slowly before walking over, because as stupid as this whole thing is, he's not going to let someone (possibly in his dreams) stand around who could be hurt.]

--Yes! [Teito drags himself up to his feet, more than a little embarrassed about the entire thing, as the red in his cheeks clearly displays. He's kicking himself internally for being so stupid that he ran into something. He might have been distracted, but that's no excuse, and it's a terrible first impression to make on everyone.]

I was just a little distracted. [Teito considers how much to say, given his circumstances and given how unsure he is about everything, and then finally continues.] I'm ... new here, so everything is unusual. [It should be apparent enough, after all, that Teito is new, given how he's dressed and the way he doesn't know what half of the things around him are.]

[Initially it's hard not to mistake the accident as natural clumsiness, but even when Suzuki gets the right excuse, he can't help but be a little subtly judgmental.]

When things are new, you should probably do a better job of keeping a close eye on your surroundings. [But then, knowing better than to rub anyone the wrong way when he's just as new himself, Suzuki sighs and scratches his head.] But I guess it's okay, I'm new here too. I know about as much on where to go as you do.
