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

well

last i read the guide was like a month ago ngl so your question is very.. general

[DON'T MAKE HIM REREAD IT]

[impavid]

It's a general question because I'm deferring to your experience.

If I knew what was missing I wouldn't need to ask about it.

[ Tough. ]

[mercurio]

[you're not gonna make him do it]

i mean in and of itself it's pretty complete! i'm still pro putting a birthday calendar on it but i don't think ppl were a fan of the idea
so other than that

you should be as golden

[impavid]

No Birthday calendar?

[ That sounds like fun, though! ]

What about all the local holidays? That counts as important local knowledge, right?

[ Also: important days off and excuses to have fun? ]

[mercurio]

right?! that's what i've been saying!! there are way too many holidays in this place!

you just missed halloween, it was like 10 days long

[impavid]

[ They have Halloween here??? What the fuck. ]

Well I'm sorry I missed that, I'll try and get drugged and dumped out of a van sooner next time.

[mercurio]

i didn't mean it like that! i was just saying...

whatever nvm

if you're from earth maybe you got a better clue than i on what holidays come next

[impavid]

Well I meant it like that

I love Halloween!

[mercurio]

oh in that case
sorry you missed it

[impavid]

I'd say there's always next year but I'm not into committing to spending that long in this place.

[mercurio]

i got pictures if you wanna see what it was like
