hi, everybody!

i just wanted to take a minute to say welcome to all of our new faces! in case i don't get to meet you in person, my name is caroline forbes, and i run the displaced welcoming committee with @prom.argentum and @sora.sky! if you need anything while you're getting settled, we'll be around to help in any way we can!

for anyone who's on rescue duty:

• any of the cots with gift baskets are available for anyone you bring back! there should be fresh towels, a pillow, and sheets on all the open beds. 
• dinner is at eight sharp — don't be late! if you want to bring anything from the harvest festival to share, it would be really appreciated!!! 
• we are still trying to get more donations — clothes, linens, food, even activities and crafts for the safehouse! anything that doesn't require an id would be great. anything you don't want anymore but don't think is worth donating to the safehouse can go to the morningstar booth at the festival!

for anyone who's new and just joining us:

• we have a really helpful new arrivals guide that you can download and read any time.
• if you have any questions about anything in there, you can tag them in this post (@caroline.forbes will tag me!) and they can come to you. just be sure to give your name somewhere in your comment, or you'll just be anonymous!
• if nobody told you yet, the first day is kind of a headache. you might feel better if you get some sleep!

xo, 
caroline

That sounds worse.

[ at least the scrubs were deliberate and obvious. ]

You didn't keep that ugly blue shirt, did you?

[gasping]

it's not really my style. i gave it back as soon as i found something else to wear.

[ into the nebulous morningstar donation pile ]

I got off easy.
Why the ugly clothes? Maybe someone's laughing.

[gasping]

probably goes with the ugly haircut they give people

[ not to mention the whole nonconsensual brain surgery thing... ew... ]

Someone out there just has a bad fashion sense.

[ ok, that's a little funny. ]

What did you do to settle in? What made it easier for you?

[gasping]

[ oh, sucked someone's blood in a broom closet... ]

i tried to do stuff i would do at home, i guess. movies, making food, shopping
normal stuff
we might be in the future but there's still a mall, you know?

[variate]

I guess those things haven't really changed.
So you found something familiar.

[gasping]

basically
i really just tried to do things that would keep me from spending all my time freaking out about being in the future and not knowing how to get home.

it sounds weird, but it kind of helped that things happen so fast around here. you don't get much time to think about anything.
