WELCOME POTLUCK

Greetings, residents! Those more observant sorts among you may have noticed a large influx of very crowded ferries. In order to welcome our new residents en masse, Town Hall is holding a potluck in Town Square. Please bring a dish if you are able and make a new friend!

All of our newest arrivals need only bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all into our community, and may your lanterns always be lit.

This event is open to all! In light of our new influx of prospective players following the Great Sail Migration, we've decided to offer a small public event to tide everyone over until the TDM this weekend.

"They turn into ghosts 'till dawn. Lets you talk to other ghosts. Or haunt your friends. Knock their dishware over, bang some cabinets, classic gaffs like that," Gerry jokes dryly. "But not much else, really, as far as I know."

"Huh. Better deal than the last place. Sometimes you'd wake up missing whole organs." Not something she ever personally dealt with, but it happened. "Do people actually die much? Sure, there's demons, but are they even killing regularly?"

Gerry considers this for a moment. "Mmm. Often enough, I guess. The mayor's assistant dies every other day, not always from paranormal things. Then there's the Pine Devil, which is some kind of cryptid that eats someone maybe once every few weeks. And someone got killed in an earthquake. And people kill each other sometimes. Some guy got murdered by a robot or something. Oh, what else..." He casts his eyes aside to think. "The train thing was kind of a disaster. Lots of people died in that one. It just kind of depends."

That note about the Pine Devil is going to feel suddenly more relevant later in her day, but for now it just gets filed away with the rest of it.

"That's about what I expected. Not every day, at least. Well. Except for that one guy. Apparently." Nothing has been as bad as that first cruise in terms of violence, thank god. She couldn't go back to that without there being consequences. "Does anyone have literally any idea what caused it all? The last place I was stuck it was designed that way. Obviously a curse is. Different."
