Grand Opening Mingle Log

[faredthere]

You've just moved to Farethere City!

Why? Well, you don't seem to want to dwell on it too hard. You certainly remember who you are and where you're from - it's not as though you have amnesia or anything like that, of course not. You just don't really want to think about the events immediately leading up to your moving here for some reason.

That's not important anyway. What matters is that you've just moved in to a new town! It seems like there are a lot of other people besides you moving in today, too. There's a giant 'Welcome to Farethere City' banner hung up between two trees, and there's all kinds of food and drink on tables underneath, including plenty you've probably never seen before.

Now's a good chance to meet your neighbors and get yourself situated. Wander around town a little - check out the library, or figure out what on earth those mushroom-shaped doors at the far end of town are for. Or just pig out on the food - you did just unpack all your stuff today, no one will blame you for taking the chance to relax.

(Don't think too hard about the unboxing process. Or why there might be some things in your house that you don't remember buying.)

Your mayor is floating about greeting people. You'll properly get to meet him at some point, so be sure to ask him all the questions you have about your new home.

It's delicious, it's delicious!

[Nevermind how this lotus flower is eating. Right now she's stuffing a morsel into her petals with her leaf hands. The morsel disappears.]

Casually turns up five years late with Starbucks

[sacrifeyes]

[Oh my god, how cute. Eun LOVES flowers.]

Hahaha. There's no need to rush. The food will still be there if you take your time.

[mutation_is_great]

Ain't rushin'. It just melts right in your mouth.

[Indeed, she's taking her time to savor the morsel.]

[sacrifeyes]

It's very good, isn't it? My compliments to the caterers.

[He'll have to find out where the food came from so he can visit there regularly.]

My name is Eun. What's yours?

[mutation_is_great]

That's a nice, cute name. Mine's Lotus. I'll have to hunt them down and see if I can learn a few things. I know mighty a lot about cookin', but they've got some tricks I don't know. 'S always the case, always more to learn.

[sacrifeyes]

That's very true. [It's one of the reasons he's here, after all.] So you like to cook, Lotus?

[mutation_is_great]

Aye, aye. Preparing it just right, and then seeing the looks on people's faces when they're eating it.

[sacrifeyes]

It's the best when someone appreciates something you've made, isn't it? [He's smiling.] Is that your line of work as well?

[mutation_is_great]

Something like that. Mostly it's a hobby that I'm aimin' to make money off. Do come visit my bar.

[sacrifeyes]

I'll be sure to. Where in town will you be setting up?

[mutation_is_great]

Ah, it's over there. You go this way and then this way. [She makes motions with her hands indicating the direction. Yes, she's kinda useless at giving directions.]

[sacrifeyes]

Er...

[Is there a way to say this that isn't, like, terribly blunt?]

Sorry, that's a little... [Mmmmmmmnope.] I'm mostly blind, I'm afraid.

[mutation_is_great]

Oh, my apologies! From where you're facing, you'd turn around to your back, go straight, turn right, go straight, turn left.

[sacrifeyes]

Thank you. That's helpful.

[Is it, V? Well, whatever, he'll find it.]

I'll run into you there, then?

[mutation_is_great]

When I ain't out and around town anyways. But I'll be opening noon through late night, methinks.

[sacrifeyes]

That sounds good. I look forward to tasting your wares.
