Welcome to Haven:

What: It's moving day for everyone.
Where: Haven MagLev Train/Haven Train Station and then Jerry's Info Booth for the Newbies.
When: 04/28 - Morning
Warnings: There will be swearing, probably mentions of violence. Will update as needed.

This FluxOver starts a lot differently than the others. For starters, everyone and we mean everyone is waking up on a train. No one's waking up in their homes. The first sound anyone hears isn't an alarm clock. It's the steady hum and squeal of the MagLev train just barely skimming it's rails as it makes a turn towards the Haven Train Station and then a deep, gravely, lightly accented male voice saying:

"Haven Train Station! Last stop! Everyone off!


And then the grinding of brakes as the train slows down to a bit of a harsh stop. With so many people stuffed into the train like sardines, it's probably hot and crowded, and everyone wants off. It's also very likely you're going to wake up leaning on someone. Do you know them? Are they a stranger? Let's hope you didn't drool while you were sleeping, or snore too loudly.

When the doors open, the heat probably gets a bit worse and the crowd is very eager to get off the train. Jostling and bumping, it seems as though no one cares who they smack into, they just want off. Since it's the last stop, it's probably best you depart, too. Should you choose to stick on the train, you'll find that while it does depart the Haven Train Station eventually, it just goes through a foggy area that seems to lead right back to the Haven Train Station. It'll keep doing so until you depart the train. Once the last person is off, the train will roll away and disappear in the distance.


For all the newcomers, you'll feel an impulse to go right to the very ramshackle-looking information booth, where a gentleman named Jerry has your information packet. For everyone else, your phones will start buzzing and a voice will start giving you directions, leading you back home and we're sorry to say it, but your homes have taken on the external appearance of everything else around them. Pieced together, rusty. Built more for survival and less for visual appeal.

Again; externally. Internally, you'll find that nothings changed and home is just as you remember it. And for anyone that got anything for FluxMas, you'll find your stuff waiting for you in the kitchen of your homes. Unless it's a vehicle. You'll find the keys to that in your pockets, shortly after stepping into your houses.

Settle in. Explore. Find your friends.

Welcome to Haven.

"Well, at least someone is content," Tandy comments with a bit of a smirk, glancing up at Gwen since she knows the other girl will understand. While they have gotten used to being jerked around to different locations, it was never any less jarring when it did happen.

"So is he actually going to stay this small? I heard that pigs will actually grow to fit the size of their place or whatever?" Not that she really knows for sure because, honestly, she has never really interacted with a lot of pigs before.

"I don't know. I'm hoping to find where the vet's office got moved to so I can take Peter in for a wellness check and maybe get an age on him? But so far, no luck. Most everything is boarded. Even the school."

Gwen's not too happy about the school being shut down. She enjoyed school, especially her dance classes. Now she really doesn't know what she's going to do with herself. She's pretty fond of routine.

"He came marching up to me in my house, smiling and wagging his tail. I thought he belonged to one of my roommates, but nope. Peter Porker is mine."

"I didn't even know there was a vet," Which might be good information to know eventually. Then she blinked at the news that the school was boarded up, glancing around. "That's weird. Maybe they don't believe in that here."

Yeah, it was starting to look more and more like she wasn't going to be fond of Haven.

"Well, however you got him, it's an awesome name and he is cute." Tandy nodded at the pig again, straightening once more after reaching to pet him again once he had gotten the apple from her. "But why a pig? That's kind of curious."

"The multiverse thinks it's funny," Gwen states, like it's a fact. And with the experiences she's had with the multiverse? It's really not too far fetched.

"A year ago, I was pulled into the wrong universe. Miles universe, actually. I wasn't the only one. No lie, one of the other people pulled in was a cartoon pig named Peter Porker."

A vague wave in the general direction of the pig who is trying to climb onto Tandy's shoes. "Behold, the not Looney Tunes variant, I guess."
