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

[ Does she know what lmao is? Probably not. This will not stop her. ]

That's one way to put it. Yoga's never been a hobby of mine, verbal or otherwise. I'd hate to make a poor official first impression.

[mercurio]

as far as first impressions go, i'm of the mindset that it only really counts once you're allowed out of the safehouse

also this isn't the worst kind of thing you could do either

I used to negotiate with politicians for a living. Overthinking how I present myself is just second nature by now.

But I appreciate the leniency.

for a living? oh man, i already get nervous thinking about my friend having to talk with them
i get like...secondhand nervousness
biting my nails, pacing, get real anxious and panicky

what kind of job did you have?
