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!

dean winchester | supernatural, ota!
II. GOOD VIBRATIONS.
III. COLONEL'S.
IV. LOCKED OUT?
V. WILDCARD.
golden dildo you said?
Which is just. Ugh. Let's not talk about that. City hall's closed and the only thing there is to do is try and learn what about this city differs from Eudio. To learn the streets and stores - where a girl can buy groceries or, more importantly, tequila.
Much like Dean, Kate finds herself in here because it's discreet. It's easy to overlook as what it is, though the name of the store clicks as soon as she steps inside, lips pursing together and eyebrows raising. Welp.
The oldest business in the book, isn't it? )
Didn't notice that when we got th' offer?
( Because what everyone in their life needs is a drawling response from a Lancastrian accent as Kate leans over to pick out something less golden, but no less impressive in its design - some gaudy black and white creation made with what looks like dollops of hot glue.
...That seems dangerous. )
this is dean's nonchalant
[ suave comes with the name, of course, reeling backward a moment to piece together what he'd said, then her own words with an accent thick on her tongue. it doesn't help his fluster that she's taken to taking something for herself, a bit more gothic looking in it's appeal, but nonetheless... interesting. ]
Heh- I mean, I hardly doubt Dorothy was off to see anythin' like this, but... [ a tick of a brow upward, followed by a smirk that dwindles to an expression of his recognition that whatever tangents currently come out of his mouth, he should probably stop. ]
the coolest
Look, she sucks at the displaying emotions thing. Has for a long time. You take what you can get with her.
And that... no. Let's put that thing back. It's interesting but largely useless. And Kate's wondering, just a little, what would happen if any of those pieces got loose. )
Only in th' porn version.
( It could be a joke. It is, but her affect's about as bad as her expressions, flat and blunt - words like a hammer. )
no subject
i mean, it's actually golden.
now he's not sure whether her words are in fact a joke or not, or if she's into some other-realm porn that now he's thinking about, little red heels and all. a furrow of brows, a kind of dumbfounded twitch to his gaze before he's clearing his throat, offering a chuckle, coupled with pursed lips and a nod to his head. ]
Gotta say I didn't expect this place to have such an extravagant sex shop.
no subject
A distraction.
And isn't it fucking ironic that her one ticket to making sure Marc's safe means she needs to play nice and friendly in normal-ville.
But if there is a Wizard of Oz porno - and let's be honest, there probably is - Kate hasn't watched it. She shrugs, glancing at the glistening, golden dildo for a moment, eyes scanning the price. Yeah. That's never getting bought, is it? )
What were you expectin'?
( Maybe she wasn't expecting the glorious golden dick, but - like Eudio before it - this place seems geared to making things nice, pretty. Ideal. )
IV
Here, he knows no one is going to hurt him, but it still makes him antsy. So of course it would be his luck that he locked himself out the first night.
Seeing someone, he gives them a small little smile, hoping the lack of color in his skin and the white irises isn't too jarring. Luckily it's just his face, as he's wearing a hoodie, his hands jammed into the pockets.
He speaks with a lilting northern British accent.]
Locked myself out of the apartment on the first night. I'm used to jimmyin' the locks in my own house, but these are a bit different so I can't figure it out?
[He shrugs a bit.]
Not quite sure if there is an actual landlord here, you know?
[ooc: I know this is going in a bit different direction then the 'keys don't work' if it doesnt work for you i can always alter it!]
