Who: an extra large spicy big dad, his extra fat bland small bird, and you
When: Day 11
Where: Throughout the City
What: A huge man walks his bird.

"Come on, Popoto. Yer feets tired?"

This massive tank of a man crouches to gather up a small, round, brown bird; a fledgling Eorzean dodo, with its comically large, googly eyes and ball-like body. It only peeps in response, before he sets the bird right back down again.

"Nah? Aight, come on. We're explorin'."

Who: Everyone
Where: Wherever you read the news.
When: Day 10. Must be Tuesday, Tuesdays are always kinda weird.

What:

So, you're browsing through the newspaper, either online or a physical copy. And you reach the Personal Ads section.

There are regular ads "lost dog", "free couch", "human male seeks alien lifeforms for science and friendship."

And then there is a blank space with the instructions "WRITE YOUR OWN."

SO. COBA CITIZENS. Write a classified ad, or reply to other people's classified ads.

Who: YOU!!
When: Early Day 9 and onwards.
Where: A city corner!
What: WISHING WELL(s?)

At some point during the night a wishing well appeared in the corner, maybe it was a garbage can a second ago and you saw it blur, maybe it was a fire hydrant, maybe you just hadn't seen it before, but there it is!

There's a sign next to it reading: "Toss a coin, make a wish!"
(WISHES NOT GUARANTEED TO COME TRUE)

Maybe you don't have a coin, but Coba's got your back; there's a pail full of coins next to the well.

So go on, make a wish. Or spy on other people making wishes (Or steal the coins). Surely nothing can possibly go wrong.

WHO: Yuya and you!
WHERE: A store somewhere
TIME: Day 9
DESCRIPTION: Shopping is hard, especially when you're dead broke.

[One minute he's being locked into a jail cell, then when he turns around he's suddenly in an open city holding a pamphlet that definitely wasn't in his hands a minute ago. It takes some staring at the pamphlet and a little time spent making sure he's not dreaming (pinching, running around to work up a sweat, various failed attempts to scare himself, and so on) before he accepts that this is real...

And that maybe this could be an opportunity?

So it's not too long before he's hanging around the first shop he finds, checking out the hairpins and trying to look A) like he knows what in the world he's doing looking at hairpins and B) innocent, like he's not hoping to take up lock-picking based on vague memories of movies he's seen and the faint hope that any attempts at lock-picking will actually work.

It's not working very well, and when a thought strikes him and he riffles through the bunch of coupons he just groans and considers giving up. What a time to have no money!]

They have all these ways to stay places for free, but everything else...

anelegantmyth

WHO: Cynthia and anyone and everyone
WHEN: Day 7-9
WHERE: One of two places, the library or the park, or probably a mix of both because Coba provides
WHAT: She came in, had to go home for reasons that she cannot say, and is now back to actually make friends this time

Library
[She was there to read. Why? She liked reading. Back home, she would spend her lazy days buried in a book or two...or ten. Sure she was here to take a vacation and meet new people. But who's to say you can't meet a new friend while enjoying a good book in a quiet place.

Plus, let's face it, this library wouldn't stay a library for long.]

Park
[Today seemed like a good day to stay outside, maybe have a picnic and take a nap under a huge tree. But she was too lazy to pack a picnic, so she definitely chose the latter. She set herself up under a huge oak tree, waited a bit for Coba to provide her a tree with a tire swing, and just relaxed there. It was a beautiful day, and the perfect time to let all her pokemon out to run around and play. After all, what kind of trainer would she be if she didn't let her pokemon enjoy today?

So avoid eye contact with the dragon, and feel free to bother her.]

WHO: Anyone &/or Everyone!
WHEN: Day 6, All Day!
WHERE: Persona House!
WHAT: An impromptu house party.

I: Open To All

On the morning of Day 6, there are some changes to the Inaba District. For blocks around, all the sidewalks have become moving walkways, all of them funneling pedestrian traffic towards the house at the bottom of the hill, the doorway and the back gate into the yard festooned with pink, yellow, and purple crepe paper and any number of bright foil balloons bobbing in the breeze.

Inside the house, there's a root beer keg sitting in the middle of the kotatsu, and a sheet cake with marshmallow fluff frosting on the kitchen table. A big-screen TV and an expansive DVD rack sit along one wall; a hot tub is visible in the back yard, and a number of simple party games are stacked along one wall. With the number of people living in the house (ten at the moment), being always ready for a party is somewhat natural. Cats are everywhere on the main floor, and anyone opening the door to the basement is likely to meet a curious rabbit or two on the stairs.

As for the inhabitants of the house, they're around too, with reactions ranging from equable to bemused to annoyed.

II: Closed to Castmates
Before too long, a roll of crime scene tape has been appropriated to cordon off the upstairs and downstairs, and everyone's been alerted to the situation. The kitchen whiteboard reads 'House Meeting: Downstairs Workshop, 2PM' - a notice that actually went up before the party started, but it's possible nobody noticed that. At the appointed time, Souji's made sure some reliable-seeming stranger is watching the main floor, and has brought down quilts and cushions to set up a comfortable discussion circle.

"...It might have been better to do this at the Junes Food Court, if we could," he says, when everyone's assembled. "But I didn't want to have to try to find it."

III: Closed to Amat Veterans + Chie
When the rest of the house meeting is done, Souji ducks into one of the downstairs bedrooms and retrieves the contents of the mini-fridge: four boxes of topsicles. Handing two to Teddie and two to Nanako, he delegates the solemn responsibility of making sure everyone upstairs gets one to them, and promises the rest of them will be up in just a few minutes.

"...Now that we're all on the same page," he offers apologetically, "there are a few other things we should discuss as well. Chie, you don't have to be here for this part if you'd rather not, but... it's probably good to know."

WHO: You! And you, and you, and even you!
WHERE: All over Coba!
WHEN: Day 4, noon and onwards

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you find the scenery in front of you suddenly shifting, the world turning into a giant blur for all of a few seconds. You might feel a bit of vertigo, but nothing too serious, especially if you've been here for long enough to get used to it.

When it returns to normal, you might find that some places have moved, others have popped up in their place. An entire neighborhood blending into part of a busy city street, for example, or a foreign shopping district where some of Coba's smaller shops once stood.

Main street, where all the excitement happens, has gone over something of a change as well. There are a number of small, vendor stalls scattered down the road, all advertising something different - EDUCATION, HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT . . . and one labeled COBASPIRACIES that the other vendors seem to be shooting dirty looks at.

Er. In any case, come see what the excitement is all about, explore the new and moved locations, or grab some of the free food that has been happily placed out for anyone wandering down main street.

(There'll be a few NPC top levels, but feel free to make your own! There's also this post for if/when you decide to place a location somewhere! Have fun. ♥)

conjecture_this

WHO: Nagi and whoever feels like sharing!
WHERE: Through your phone, through the internet, through Coba's craigslist, through bulletin board posts or just notes on the ground... wherever your character would come across a text/written post.
TIME: Day 4, morning.
DESCRIPTION:

[Sometime during the early hours of the morning, a bit of text pops up. How one sees it varies according to how they typically get texts but regardless the message is the same.]

I trust this message is not ill-timed. I am Nagi, lately arrived to this place as many of you are as well. I would ask for the assistance of those reading this then.

In order to form a more complete picture of this dimension, I would like to engage in the process of gathering information. Many new buildings have sprung up with our arrival and those that have seem to be influenced on the preferences and tastes of those here. Those who have experienced such, what buildings arrived from your own dimensions? Have you likewise experienced locations changing around you?

I would like to ask about time periods as well. It has become evident that there are those of you from times much more advanced than my own. If I may then, I would like to ask what year it is for you. For myself it is Taisho 20 or 1931.

If there is other information you wish to share or things you would like to ask others, I encourage such as well. Together we may be able to learn more about the exacts of this dimension.

Thank you.

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Mingle!
WHERE: Somewhere in the city
WHEN: Day 3, morning

[It's a beautiful morning in this part of Coba! The sun is shining, the birds are singing - or at least they were until a few seconds ago. Suddenly, the city is plunged into darkness again, and the streets start to fill with people dressed in outrageous costumes. There's music in the air and all traffic is stopped for the parade of revellers heading down the street. Anyone from New Orleans might find the spectacle rather familiar, but for anyone else it's still an excuse to party like the night never ended]

Who: Ray Palmer! And You!
When: Day 2 - Evening.
Where: ON THE INTERNET. Or a bulletin board, or a newspaper, or a holodeck. Whatever it is you got on you.
What: A POST!!

[Ray Palmer has managed to send out a notification to every electronic device connected to the city's network, it reads as follows: 'Hi! I'm Ray! Can you tell me where you're from and through what means this message reached you? It's a survery :D!'

Now, maybe you don't have an electronic device. Maybe you got a letter, or it's an ad on the newspaper. Or maybe you're from the future and got an hologram, in which case the message was a video and you got to see Ray Palmer in all his nerdy glory waving excitedly.]

shiroganeheir

WHO: Naoto Shirogane, and you!
WHERE: Shirogane Investigations in the Inaba Shopping District
WHEN: Day 2 and beyond
WHAT: Shirogane Investigations is open for business or curious visitors

Next to Tatsumi Textiles in the Inaba shopping district, there used to be a vacant shop, however one day, it was a bit not so empty anymore. On a glass window in the front, there was, in a very simple font: Shirogane Investigations.

Inside, it looks very much like a 1950s noir detective's office. A secretary's desk with requisite computer and telephone is in front of a door that leads to another office, outfitted with its own computer and desk, along with bookshelves and some file cabinets. In the main office In the main office there is a sofa, some magazines (is that one in Elvish?) and a coffee maker on a side table with some mugs and cookies.

In the inner office is a blue-hatted tiny androgynous figure, feet up on the desk and reading a book, looking every inch the detective in residence. Come on in!

[OOC: Shirogane Investigations is open for business! Naoto is open to investigate things for PCs or NPCs, or just to talk to the curious.]

cobamods

WHO: You!
WHERE: Around the city!
TIME: All Through Day 1
DESCRIPTION: CITY TOUR MINGLE!

Maybe you stayed in Coba, maybe you went home and came back, or maybe this is your first time here, but everyone is suddenly greeted to a friendly, female voice over an intercom (or maybe it's a some other device? Depending on where you're from)

"Welcome citizens. We hope you're enjoying your visit! Transport will leave in twenty minutes for the Coba city-wide tour!"

If you follow the voice, you'll find yourself at a bus stop. Or is it a fancy monorail? A carriage? A couple of horses? Coba is flexible and will change herself to suit you, after all. And if you get left behind, don't worry! There's free cabs anywhere in the city, who also will be more than happy to give you their own version of the tour.

The Coba city-wide tour boasts an hour of informative information regarding Coba's most important locations, some extra brochures (with some extra savings in there, of course), and will finally return you to the place you left from.

Of course, maybe the tour isn't for you. After all, the party is still going on, and now Coba's businesses are really beginning to open and advertise what they have to offer. Have you checked out the free hotel room? Or maybe you're grabbing a free meal? Or maybe, just maybe - you're looking into an apartment!

Either way, Coba hopes you've been enjoying yourselves. She has so much to offer you.

(welcome to the first official post! Mingle to your hearts' content, and don't be afraid to make your own posts, either!)
