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.

A Mingle!

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: 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: EVERYONE
WHEN: Day 6, Night!
WHERE: Around the city!
WHAT: A mingle with fireworks!

[Tonight Coba seems to be having a massive street party, there's music and fireworks and maybe a few hungry vampires looking for prey. What are YOU doing about it?]

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.

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: Erik Lehnsherr and YOU.
WHAT: Looking around. Erik is out of prison and in some strange town that isn't Paris.
WHERE: Anywhere you like.
WHEN: Day 2-5


He'd gotten out of the car with everyone else, gone into the bathroom on the plane to change out of his prison clothes and when he returned to the cabin... Charles, Hank... the stranger they were with: none of them was on the plane. The cabin was empty and they were in the air.

They landed in a city. He was handed a pamphlet when he disembarked.

Strange.

He took a room for the night, heading out the next morning to look around. Where did everyone else go, if they weren't on the plane, and how could he get ahold of them? How was he going to get back... and did he want to? Charles had told him he'd broken him out only because he absolutely had to. He needed him for something that he didn't want his help with and Erik didn't know what yet. He did know that his idea of what was important hadn't matched Charles' in a long time.

But for now? He just needed intel. So he walked.

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.]

WHAT: Catchall with starters for different scenarios in comments
[personal profile] 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!)
