Welcome Center Log | August/Sept/October 2014
The city isn't exactly in a lull at the moment, but there is a tense sort of equilibrium that has settled over Keeliai. The Palace of the Landed Sky is still blackened and possessed, the barrier keeping people out -- for the most part. The handful of possessed kedan that still remain inside seem to have given up entirely at trying to chase off those who come too near the barrier, perhaps sensing that their dwindled numbers are insufficient to protect against another full-fledged assault.
There's a feeling of waiting in the city, though edged with a cautious optimism that perhaps Malicant has trapped himself in the Palace, as no further moves have been made. Was everything a ruse? The consoles have been restored to full working order, and surely the Enemy would not have let that happen if it could have been prevented. The summer is reaching its height, and people are figuring out how best to get one with their lives.
For new arrivals to the city, there is a delicate balance between welcoming them and making them feel safe, and making sure that they understand exactly the severity of the place they've come to.
As always, the Welcome Center does its best to provide new Foreigners with whatever they need to help get them settled in Keeliai. From providing them with information on how to use the consoles to making sure they have starter funds, to guiding them through the districts to finding their new housing, to making sure they know not to say the M-name and don't play with the glowing lanterns.
Volunteers from the existing Foreigners to assist with these orientations are always needed and welcome, just speak to someone in charge.

11 August
Twenty-four hours and she'll be fine. Brigid clings to that. Her fingers play with the crucifix around her neck as she looks for some help. If she's here, she'll work. That will be a distraction.
That and maybe they know if Marcus is here.
"Excuse me?" She asks, finally finding someone that doesn't look that busy.
no subject
"Yes?" It was an unfamiliar face. Timid. If she didn't know better, she might have guessed scared. Definitely new. "Are you looking for something?"
no subject
"And, where I might find a teaching position." That, she knows how to do. She can teach Irish and history. Well, her world's history. How different is that from everything else?
She's still not going to think about where she is. That will come later.
no subject
This was always the hardest part of the job. Having to remember as much of everyone's business as possible, in order to answer questions like this. It wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. The fact that it was actually a good question might have had something to do with it.
Unfortunately, the answer wasn't nearly as promising.
"There was a girl a while back who kept mentioning something about starting a school, but I don't think it ever went anywhere. For the moment, I think you'd be better off advertising private tutoring sessions." She leaned back, bringing the pen in hand to her lips contemplatively. "Have you toyed around with the local Network yet?"
no subject
Her finger toys with the crucifix. "No. Not really. I know how to use it, but haven't looked beyond that." She will later, though. "Unless you have some suggestions where I could work? I've done secretary work before."
She'll get to Hannigan in a moment.
It's so weird not being able to hear the woman's heartbeat. It makes her feel very, very lonely.

"I was wondering if you knew anyone by the name of Hannigan? Marcus Hannigan?" She hopes her Alpha is here. She wants her Alpha to come save her and make it all okay.
no subject
no subject
"My uncle." Better than admitting to having an Alpha. "Thank you, for your help. Can you direct me toward the wood sector? I'm supposed to live there."
no subject
Hand-drawn, and lacking in certain 'official' details, but otherwise, rather impressive.
"Here. This should give you a rough layout of the entire city."
no subject
"I'm sorry for bothering you. Thank you for the help." Brigid hopes she manages to find her way around quickly.
no subject
Spoken with more than a bit of fondness behind her tone.
