MOVE-IN DAY
Welcome to Cadelle, cuddlers! The city is — for the most part, at least — very happy with the first wave of volunteers who have chosen to spend time here! To help everyone get settled a little easier, Mayor Drake and her team have put together a series of helpful booths, each staffed by friendly citizen volunteers who are more than ready to answer any questions characters may have.
▸ First things first: visitors will need to visit City Hall to officially enroll as a Cadelle citizen. Once complete, they'll receive their Welcome Packet, which will include all of the most important items for settling in. Characters will find keys to their apartment and associated mail box, their housing assignment, and their pre-activated CuddleCard, ready to go. In addition, the volunteer coordinators have included a newly printed map of the city, as well as contact information for various city-run organizations, just in case!
▸ Due to the influx of energy from all of the new visitors, the city’s computer systems have been experiencing some "minor hiccups". While this is nothing to be concerned about, characters may find themselves mildly inconvenienced — they may have received keys that don’t work in their door, or been issued someone else's room assignment unknowingly!
▸ If they've arrived during regular business hours, characters are, of course, able to visit the maintenance office on the first floor of each building for help switching out their mismatched keys or determining their correct assignment. However, getting settled after hours will require a little extra creative problem solving — like asking a new friend if sharing a bed for the night seems reasonable, sleeping on the couches in the public lounges downstairs, or maybe even roughing it for the night outdoors. (Of course, there's always the frowned-upon methods of breaking and entering... not that you heard it from us!)
▸ As with any move-in day, there’s bound to be lots to see and do. Characters may need help carrying their things, or even just help finding their way around. If they're lucky enough to find their room without problem, they may not be so lucky in their assignment. They may find themselves living underneath someone who's got to be part elephant (who stomps that much at 6 AM?!) or just above someone who insists on burning every batch of popcorn they make! Get out there, meet the neighbors, and see what this city has to offer!
CITY SCAVENGER HUNT
A few days after the big move-in weekend, characters will find an unread message on their CuddlePhone, encouraging them to check out the CuddleTalk network for a very special message from two very special guests. When they do, they’ll find a cute (but admittedly very cheesy) video message from Cadelle’s volunteer coordinators, Flora and Cornelius. The video highlights a few of the most popular destinations in the city — Blaze Pizza, for example, the home of the ninety-second wood-fired pizza, or Dinah’s, where you can enjoy a literal bucket of fries perfect for sharing.
At the end of the video, a link will come up for characters to click if they are so inclined. They’ll be directed to a sign-up page for a city-wide scavenger hunt, with a grand prize promised for the first team to complete the challenge.
Want to participate?
▸ Characters will be able to sign up for the scavenger hunt either on their own or with a friend. (The prizes remain the same regardless of the size of the team, so if your character wants all the money for themselves, they'll either want to race it alone or pick a very generous teammate!)
▸ Among the many delicious dining destinations around Cadelle, characters will discover three venues that the volunteer coordinators have tapped as their current favorites. Somewhere in those three venues, characters will find a beautiful framed photo of Flora and Cornelius.
▸ When characters find the photo, they'll be instructed to take their best selfie, being sure to capture themselves, the framed snapshot, and their teammate (if they chose to bring one along) in the shot.
▸ The first group to send in all three selfies will win the grand prize — one month's stipend worth of extra CuddleBucks! However, all competitors who complete the challenge will be rewarded with a token of appreciation — one week's stipend worth of CuddleBucks, just for playing along!
▸ While characters explore the city, they just might find some "bonus" surprises along the way. Keep your eyes peeled!
Helpful Hint: To find the secret locations (and any hidden bonuses along the way), check out our CITY DIRECTORY for all the amazing destinations your character can explore! Feel free to sort by category on the left, and click your way through your first big adventure in the big city!
Mod Note: For fairness, the "grand prize" winner will be determined by RNG in a drawing on August 4 at 3:00 PM. If your character would like to be eligible to win the grand prize, please be sure to leave us a comment so we can include them in the drawing!

▸ GRAND PRIZE SIGN-UPS
However, we still want our players (ourselves included!) to have some fun with this event, so while your questionnaire answers won't determine who wins or loses, we hope you'll take a moment to consider how your character might attack this great challenge. (Or not. Maybe they're into poverty and never leaving home. Oscar the Grouch would approve.)

Character Name: Porpentina Goldstein
Teammate: Credence Barebone
What's their plan? Since Tina had arrived, she would have been doing her absolute best to all but completely memorize the map. She's a New Yorker, so she's used to knowing city streets and the best way to go about them. She may not have actually stopped and dined at every restaurant she found, but she has walked by a good portion of them. She's also fairly competitive, and would probably be down to just run around the city with Credence for the fun of it. She will do her best to keep them on task and just try and hit as many places as they can, but there is a good chance they will get distracted along the way (especially in bookstores.....whoops.)
SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS.
Unfortunately, Porpetina Goldstein and Credence Barebone, you are not the winners of Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt. (Cue The Price is Right's signature losing horn sound.) While your street smarts may have carried you fairly far along in your quest for greatness, Cadelle's got a very large flagship bookstore and one could simply spend hours — perhaps even days! — inside.
For your efforts, each of you will be provided with an additional you will receive an additional ONE WEEK'S STIPEND of CuddleBucks, accessible immediately via your CuddleCard.

Character Name: kimberly hart (
Teammate: clary fray (
What's their plan? running very fast, being incredibly enthusiastic, flirting with vendors to try and get hints. possibly shoving people, but they haven't decided yet.

Unfortunately, Kimberly Hart and Clary Fray, you are not the winners of Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt. (Cue The Price is Right's signature losing horn sound.) The administration was impressed by both your agility and your collective ability to harness tips and tricks from local vendors, but maybe flirting a little less with each other would have better served the task at hand.

Character Name: dean winchester
Teammate: lone soldier
What's their plan? dean's first pit stops absolutely include: pie and burgers, and somewhere to pick up beer. while others are probably worried about other first night essentials at their place, that'd definitely be his go to's. other than that, by sundown he's at colonel's, propped up at the bar as if it's just another day in the office ( that never really exists )of a hunter. he's not entirely sure how he feels about everything, so laying low unless company joins his side at their own leisure is more his pace.
SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS.
Unfortunately, Dean Winchester, you are not the winners of Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt. (Cue The Price is Right's signature losing horn sound.) Colonel's is one of the administration's very favorite locales, but laying low and sipping beer all night does not a scavenger hunt winner make. The administration would, however, like to discuss a deal with Dean regarding providing a monetary loan a certain home for Hell's (finest) Angels.

Character Name: Sansa Stark
Teammate: she would go it alone
What's their plan? Sansa would determine who the leaders of the city are and try to engage them politically and with social grace. She's quite good at it.
SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS.
Unfortunately, Sansa Stark, you are not the winners of Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt. (Cue The Price is Right's signature losing horn sound.) The administration certainly approves of a young woman who's politically engaged; Cornelius and Flora are absolutely tickled! Unfortunately for Sansa, they're also huge chatterbugs and likely end up wasting much of her precious scavenger hunt time with idle chitchat.

Character Name: Felicity Smoak
Teammate: TBD! She'd start off doing this alone, but she'd totally drag along someone too.
What's their plan? Enthusiasm really.
Such a good thing that this isn't a digital scavenger hunt.But no really Felicity loves to get out there and get to know people and places so she'd have fun and walk around everywhere anyways.SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS.
Felicity Smoak, by sheer force of will and with boundless enthusiasm, you have reigned supreme in Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt! For your efforts, you will receive an additional ONE MONTH'S STIPEND of CuddleBucks, accessible immediately via your CuddleCard. Now that you've won, what are you going to do?!
Just please don't say that you're going to Disney World. There's no Disney World in the city of Cadelle.
Don't spend it all in one place, champ!
Re: ▸ GRAND PRIZE SIGN-UPS
Character Name: Clark Kent
Teammate: N/A unless someone joins him further along
What's their plan? Clark has been idk investigating, he's an investigative reporter you know, no puff pieces here.
No but fo'real Clark found a voucher for a free Sandwich and that was just great. He's not actively scavenger hunting he is, however, finding things in a super kinda way.
SCAVENGER HUNT RESULTS.
Unfortunately, Clark Kent, you are not the winners of Cadelle's city-wide scavenger hunt. (Cue The Price is Right's signature losing horn sound.) Mostly, the administration is just delighted that Clark discovered a free sandwich coupon along the way. After all, the fun is the friends we've made and the sandwiches we've eaten along the journey.
