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

i think everybody's tagged on their sections, right?
nobody wrote the whole thing, anyway

[ "it was a team effort" ]

it's helpful but how consistently is it updated?
and when did it get pieced together?
I'm trying to figure out a timeline here. In other words, hi, I'm new.

[gasping]

i don't know about the update stuff. you'd have to ask the people who wrote it.
people have been showing up since june, a new group every couple of weeks.

[jampony]

so, it's cyclical.
any ratio other than the routine?

sorry, where are my manners. I'm Alec.
nice to meet you. I wish I could text that under maybe different circumstances.

[gasping]

not really
i barely passed algebra 2 though, you might want to ask a nerd for the math stuff

[ she is smart enough to pass now (or a fast enough reader to teach herself) but that's not the point. ]

alec, huh? so who's monty?
split personality much?

[jampony]

It's a long story.
But if you'd rather believe I have a split personality I'm fine with that too.

[Behold, the absolute picture of indifference. Super sorry Caroline, he is good at math, good enough to know all his aliases don't equal comfort to normals.]

[gasping]

okay then

[ the standoffish, 'i'm not here to answer your questions' vibe doesn't really do much for her. ]

you might want to get your story straight before you introduce yourself to people
having a fake name on your id is a little weird
