WELCOME TO OLYMPIA

At last, you've made it to Olympia. The road leading up to the Olympia's grand North Gate is all cobblestones; there are more people around, more guardsmen on patrol. You see towers in all corners of the land; up there, you can make out men and women in armor, equipped with archers and rifles. There's someone by the gate reminding you to have your passport ready — do you remember where you'd put that?

Regardless, the line moves much faster than at the Outpost because of that piece of paper. Maybe it's not so useless after all.

"Welcome to Olympia," he says.

Before you know it, the guardkeep slaps a patch on your chest; to your surprise, it reads:

Hello! My name is
________________!

I am in House #___!
Are you my housemate?

... No matter how much you try, there's no removing this sticker. "It'll come off tomorrow," says the guardkeep. "Lots of refugees here, limited housing. It's an easy way to get to know the people you're living with."

If someone greets you, the message on the patch will magically change:

My hobbies are ____, ____, and ____!
What are yours?

There's no telling how they'd known these things, but it likely has to do with Zasere.

OLYMPIAN TOUR GUIDE

The city is heavily populated with all sorts of races; no one really even notices as you enter, save for a couple Guides who will show you to the Residential District—

MEET YOUR ROOMATES. After the warm reception, you’ll be whisked away to your new residence. Try not to dawdle, as you might swiftly get left behind. While they would like you to explore ands familiarize yourself with the sights, that’s not to say that they aren’t on a strict schedule! Once you’re situated in your quarters, however, you might find that, for better or worse— you’re not alone!

Maybe your new roommate was the one who saved you during The Descent? Perhaps, they’re the ones who accidentally left you for dead. Regardless, it’s clear that now is the time to settle your differences.

If you happen to run into the Guides again, you may want to ask what's around here? They will explain the Four districts of Olympia, and then point toward the direction of the Empress's palace. "With luck, you'll never have to go there." As for the other places —

EXPLORE OLYMPIA. Bordering every residence will be a large bulletin board showcasing various snippets of what the city has to offer. Local business ads, the directory for where one can sign-up for missions (which seems to be blacked out and removed for now). What's all that about? If asked, someone will say: Missions will be available once the Olympians become a bit more familiar with them. For now, it seems exclusive to natives.

Well, at least there's plenty of other things to do.

HOME SWEET HOME

On the night of your first day in Olympia, the soothing voice of a young man trickles into your mind. You may have just begun drifting off to sleep in your new abode, or for those who don’t sleep, finally had found a moment of peace and quiet in the night.

Hello, everyone. We’re really glad to see that you made it to Olympia in one piece. Don’t worry about us, we’re okay. More importantly, your friends and family are okay. I wish I could tell you I understood what that enemy was after, but I have no idea. Darma used up a lot of her energy keeping those in stasis alive, so she’s resting. She might be out of commission for a while.

Also, I’m sorry about the delay, but network communications should be fully back online and operational now. Let me know if you come across any issues.

Oh, before I forget. Now that you’ve reached El Nysa, you can instantaneously travel from Thesa Station to Olympia. I believe some of your universes call this process “teleportation”. Be careful that a native doesn’t see you, though. Sol can take care of it if you do it on accident, but she’s… new, so to speak, so don’t make her work harder than she has to.

Good luck, everyone.

It seems you're able to connect to the network, finally.

FINAL OOC NOTE

This is the FINAL PART of our three-part intro event. From here, all of Olympia is open for exploration, and your characters may now teleport back to Thesa Station. This will also conclude the linear narrative, which means your character is on their own for the time being. At this time, you may get your characters' settled into the city, meet your roommates, get accustomed to the map, find a job, and run your player plots.

Please keep an eye out on our calendar for important happenings; we will be introducing jobs, hunts, and quests on August 6th. You may use this time to finish your intro event logs and get settled into the game. While this is still considered a "log," the game is now "open world," so we advise players to create open logs here on out and utilize this log for the nametag mingle.

The NETWORK IS NOW UP AND RUNNING AGAIN. Please use

elnysa for network posts, and be sure to use community tags also.

REMEMBER TO USE COMMUNITY TAGS.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Ok, that's like, obviously a joke, but Aoi takes a moment to consider how well-suited he would be for that. Junpei's stupid comments actually kinda distracted him from existential dread?]

You know, I actually had a lot of part time jobs growin' up, and I even managed to adhere to the dress code. Even a punk like me can be a productive member of society when the motivation's right.

[It hadn't come up in their current timeline, but Aoi had, in fact, suffered through the indignity of sleeves in his rebellious youth. His baby sister ranked slightly higher than his vanity in his hierarchy of motivation.]

So I'll be fine. The question is, where can you get hired to tell dumb jokes all day?

[Maybe his part time jobs are why Junpei seemed to have no idea he existed as a child, that would liberally plaster over some plot holes. Anyway— Junpei holds up his hands in a definite okay, okay motion. Easy, slugger, he's not doubting anybody's productivity.]

The bar? Or, sorry- the tavern. [That fantasy ambiance this place is dripping in, yeah-] There are plenty of things I'm good at besides telling jokes.

[Which, by the way, he is excellent at.] Or there's always pouring coffee, I guess.

[The Kurashiki background story is definitely not hastily cobbled together and full of inconsistencies and plot holes. It's fine. Snails. Everything makes sense.]

Yeah, I'm sure you got hidden depths. [Don't quit your day job.]

I hope coffee's a thing down here. Like, you're gonna be shocked, but I'm not my normal charming self when I've got caffeine withdraw.

[Snails. Complexity. Backstories are simply unfair, etc.]

Yeah, thanks. [He's going to pretend that's a real compliment and keep it, buddy.] I can't imagine what you're like in a really bad mood... But they have alien booze here, so why not alien coffee?

Yeah, they do that. Here's hoping the coffee's as strong as the liquor.

[A thought occurs to him.]

Oh shit, is Snake gonna have to get a shitty part-time job, too?

[Because there's no version of that that Aoi can envision that isn't hilarious.]

Um... yeah? [Unless he's a top tier spoiled brat prepared to mooch off Junpei's minimum wage, which he might be. Not sure yet.]

He'll be fine. Or... I'll handle it, I guess. Not a big deal.

[What Aoi's getting from this is that Snake has Junpei wrapped around his finger. Damn, Junpei, you really like know-it-alls, don't you?]

Whatever you say, man.

[Whipped.]

But, like, we already established we're all watching out for each other or whatever. So if you guys need help...

[He's not gonna say something lame like, 'I'll be there', so Junpei's just gonna have to figure it out.]

[There is a nonzero chance that that is entirely true, because that is most definitely the kind of guy Junpei is: always whipped by somebody. He doesn't know, don't tell him.]

Oh, uh, yeah. Definitely. [Whatever specific thing he's agreeing is definite, here—only the implications are important.] Don't be a stranger?

[Good man. They don't need communication bullshit. They got this.]

Cool. Yeah, see you around.

[If he keeps things up, maybe one day, he'll actually have a friend. Woah.]
