fluxscape | 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.

"The setting's changed," Gwen states, forgetting that she hasn't quite discussed that with Sam yet. "We're not in Driftcrest."

With that, the train's empty enough where they can hop off. Which Gwen will do once she's sure she has Sam close by. She's still looking for Miles and Hawk, checking her phone to make sure their names are still in the phone system.

"I see that," Sam said. All she had to do was look around a bit. The bustle of the train was an indication that they were not where they once had been. Sam was trying not to freak out too much. It wasn't like she was on her own. She had Gwen with her. And they were going to find their friends.

She stayed close to her as they exited the train. She hoped it wouldn't take long to find the others. This place gave her a vibe and it was not a friendly one.

Gwen's phone beeps some, a voice coming from it and giving direction, but Gwen's keen to ignore it. She's looking around, trying to not climb a wall to get away from whatever's pinging her spider-sense. That's not what normal teens do, and Gwen still has a façade to keep up, even if Hawk knows about her secret identity.

"C'mon. It's less crowded away from the information booth. And there's an abandoned car I can stand on so we can see Hawk and Miles and Jess."

She hopes.

"Okay," Gwen seemed used to this so Sam was going to follow her lead. She was still very new compared to most and this was her first...change. She'd ask more about it later, when they were safe. It didn't feel very safe here.

She followed Gwen over to the car, looking around nervously. "I have a bad feeling about this place."
