TRUST NOT JULY SKIES — CENTRAL CITY
The first well-needed thunderstorm of the July season brings with it yet another storm of falling people. A crack of thunder, a flash of brilliant lightning, and bodies are sent tumbling to the earth. The mystical failsafes will reach out to catch you before you hit the ground, though they’re only as competent as the wizards who cast them and you may find yourself lost in an unfamiliar city.
Fear not. There are heroes (and villains) combing the streets for new arrivals such as yourself. However you are free to slip further into the city, investigating the world you've fallen into and learning how to make your own way within it.
Throughout the week the sky will be behaving... oddly. Gaze for too long at those dark rolling clouds and you may feel yourself unmoored. The world around you stops feeling like this one you've come to know. You may feel the sticky heat of the one you've left. The ache of wounds you bore upon your arrival. Something seems to be pulling and you feel yourself falling, the world only righting itself when your body forces you to blink and look away. You gasp, drawing air into your lungs, and feel the compulsion to run for shelter.
The people of this world don't seem to have this problem. Yet others who fell to this world will report similar feelings. A sense of being drawn back, of being unbalanced. Perhaps it would be best to get out of the city. To find somewhere else to stay, enjoy a nice beach vacation until those stormclouds blow away.
The Guilds both appear to be relatively satisfied that this confluence only brought new people and didn't empower the populace any further than it already has been. The sheer amounts of destruction are getting hard to keep up with.
But it feels like you've arrived on the cusp of something... major. There's a spark in the air just waiting to catch fire.

LODGINGS —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives in Atlantis to offer new arrivals an explanation and transport back to the surface, characters will be provided with lodgings in the DIADEM HOTEL. Here, guests are offered the finest home away from home experience you could ever hope for. Their culinary staff are capable of cooking up everything from hotdogs to gourmet cuisine. The pool, lounge, and fitness rooms are all open 24/7. Given the continued influx of new guests, arrivals may find their rooms have been double-booked. Hopefully it's a room with two queen-sized beds instead of a king!
Characters are also free to roam CENTRAL CITY and get their bearings, though at the moment, with the guilds distracted and the city doing major repairs following the damage by the Confluence, there is plenty of crime to stop or cause. Characters will be given cell phones with three months of pre-paid unlimited data and assistance with setting up social media accounts on the guild networks, as well as credit cards to help them start a life here.
Player characters will be offered the chance to join the guilds. Those who join will be offered housing at one of the four major cities, with each one offering a different living experience. Characters have two months to decide if they want to throw in with one of the guilds and enjoy the perks of membership, or deal with making their own way in the world without their support.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU —
Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:
Mayuko Shiraki | Fruits Basket (CRAU)
Preferred Communication:
Character Name & Journal: Mayuko Shiraki,
Guild Affiliation: Alliance-leaning, but if she detects any really bad pings, she might stay unaligned.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals:Mayuko is coming out of five years in zombie summer camp; the plus side is that she won’t be stuck in one location anymore, and that she is accustomed to really strange things happening on the regular. On the other hand, she’s a civilian trying out permanent superpowers, how scary/cool is that? Her main priority is going to be learning about this version of Earth, what makes it different from hers. In particular, the guild system is of interest; how they’re managing the influx of metas (or not) and how much influence they have. (ALSO the Sunset Falls Public Library has a tentacle monster AND living books? Mayuko finding out about it will be DELIGHTED.)
Plus she’ll be wanting to sort out her financial situation because
Well
look at this face. This is (a representation of) Jun, Mayuko’s puppy that she adopted while in Camp. Jun desires treats, stuffed animals to tear up and LOTS OF BOTH. And they don’t fall from the sky, so better make that cheddar! (People, well, I guess that’s another story.)
I am interested in the possible connections she’ll make--she’s slow to make friends but once someone is in, she’ll be equal parts supportive and protective. She wants to be a dependable member of her “community”: guildwise, citywise, or just in her circle of friends.
Plot/CR Hooks:
*Mayuko's skillset is partially information-based: she can read almost any text from Earth (with caveats of course) and she can mentally index and replicate what she's read for a set amount of time. Plus her offensive/defensive powers are dependent on her own energy.... So she is less a frontliner than a sneaky ninjaspy type, at least to start. That might come in handy for some missions?
*She will gladly Responsible Adult at the young'uns, and will be slightly more chill around other adults (with the occasional dramatic tsundere outburst once she gets more comfortable). She's an odd blend of normalcy matched with some weird and frightening past experiences! Talk books with her, or help her figure things out about the world/ her powers, gain social link points!
*there was a third point but I closed the tab before I saved the comment, cry.
