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.

"More of the first. Otherwise, you would of seen more of Wechester City in Driftcrest." He pauses then, turning his head to look over at her. "We should see if anything of Driftcrest has come here with us."

He doubts a Skii Lodge will last long in a desert world. So, what else could there be? The shopping district? He frowns then.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try."

"I'll take a look around but I wasn't in Driftcrest to know it as well as others might," Still, maybe she will go around snapping some pictures of the new place just to keep track so they can notice any differences now and in the future.

"Well, if you're as thick with them as you think, maybe he'll be open to giving the list to you," She studies him closely. "Couldn't hurt to try."

"Driftcrest was paranoia due to monsters and the unknown. Lack of information. Wechester was corporate espionage." Bruce is quick to inform her in the form of brief cliff notes. "I haven't had many interactions with Jerry outside of when I first arrived. I'm still not sure if he's on our side or someone else's."

"Sounds like fun," She remarks somewhat dryly, sort of glad that she had missed some of that since fighting the monsters had been enough for her. Then she snorts softly, having already made her decision on that question because she doesn't trust easily. "Probably safest to assume that he isn't on our side until he proves otherwise."
