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.

[So it was Suzuki, and he seemed just as confused from the arrival as he was. Even if they didn't know anything, and even if this was some odd, confusing dream, Heisuke was just relieved to know he wasn't completely alone in this. He took a few hurried steps over.]

I don't know why I'm here. I woke up in a strange room with a letter.

[And this box. He holds it up and shrugs a little.] And this thing. Have you ever heard of, uh. [Give him a moment to look at the letter. He tries sounding out the name.] Cho-ti-pi... lillies?

[Too bad for once it was difficult to call Heisuke an idiot for dreaming up something silly like being in a strange room with a letter, seeing as it was the same description of what had happened to Suzuki. Reaching out for the offered box, he took it carefully, looking it over in his hands before listening to what Heisuke had to say next.]

The same thing happened to me. [Of course, the butchered pronunciation was enough to make him cringe.] ...don't say that word again. But, I have a feeling I know what it is. I never heard of them myself though.

Have you seen anyone else around here? Anyone familiar? Satou? Or even just strangers.
