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.

Open!
He looks a little out of place, in part because he looks so disgruntled about everything. There isn't anything quite like having a five foot talk irritated teenager watching everything while making an effort not to interact with anyone. Which might have worked better if he wasn't so busy looking at everything else around him that he walked straight into a lamp post.]
--Ow!
no subject
Teito!
no subject
Hakuren! You're here, too?
no subject
Yes, I am. And so is-- [Pya! Mikage abruptly starts struggling from where he's tucked away in in Hakuren's clothing. The apprentice bishop gives a start, then abruptly grabs Teito's arm and starts to lead him towards a relatively secluded alleyway.] --and so is Mikage.
no subject
I'm glad you're okay! [He looks at Hakuren again.] And you, too -- you weren't hurt in the explosion, right? [Ignoring the entire fight that they'd had, Mikael's self-destruction and Pandora's Box must have leveled a good amount of the Fortress... and Teito is fairly certain it happened, even if he can't fully remember all of it.]
no subject
That is where he gets his first view of the boy, splayed out on the concrete and Will blinks slowly, apparently having to digest the scene before he bends to offer a hand.]
That looks like it hurts.
[It's not mockery. It might be closer to camaraderie, in that respect, Will Graham always looks like he hurts. But that might be a little dramatic for Will's tastes as well.]
no subject
It was my fault. I wasn't paying attention. [Which is to say that he should have been, and he's somewhat aghast that he wasn't, given that he did such a ridiculous thing. Walking into a post is a new low for him.]
no subject
Something on your mind?
[Will doesn't stare at him expectantly for an answer, his gaze drifts over the other pedestrians. He... seems slightly uncomfortable with crowds.]
no subject
No. I was just distracted. I'm new here, and there's a lot to see. [He's not the best liar, and it's obvious that there's more to it than that, but it's relatively true. He's new, he's unsure, and he doesn't really understand the world he's just been brought into.]
no subject
I hear you. [Which... is a slightly more meaningful comment that it appears at face value, but there's no reason for Teito to understand that.] I just got in myself.
[He lifts a hand, rubbing his mouth distractedly with the ridge of his hand for a moment.]
Family here?
no subject
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.]
sorry for late!! work is the vampire that sucks me dry 8(
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.]
no worries! i know what that's like =A=
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.
