We at the City Co-ordination & Rehabitation Centre would like to take this opportunity to welcome you, the first members of the Third Extradimensional Peace Corps, to our city and your new home. We thank you for choosing to stay with us and help to make our dream of a safe, happy environment for all a reality.

Firstly, you should all have been designated a room in one of our state-of-the-art apartments. The computer terminals are free to use, and have advanced hardware as well as a 24/7 CityNettm connection. Upon signing in, you will be given your credit code, for accessing your finances from any terminal in the city; your communications username and password, for the messaging program we hope you use as often as you can; and a designated ‘partner’ apartment. This ensures that you can solve any problems quickly, efficiently, and with the help of your comrades. Remember: the Centre encourages group cooperation in all things. The Centre asks that each group meet bimonthly as an absolute minimum, and recommends that a cleaning rota be established. Clean apartments will receive bonus credit.

You will be assigned tasks and notified of your training and medical schedules through updates to your CityNettm account. You do not need to respond to the notification messages, but we ask that you do attend each scheduled event. Allowing yourself fifteen minutes for travel between events is recommended.

Secondly, as you have come from numerous worlds with vastly different biological and ethereal systems, we have implemented a non-intrusive daily scan that will take place at 08:00. For this, you must be within your apartment until 08:10. Should any problems be found, please make your way calmly to your designated medical checkpoint for further scans.

Some concern has been expressed about the condition of your bodies. We wish to reassure all those concerned that the dimensional methods used have no long-term effects. We have suppressed your abilities and talents until readjustment is complete. Please be assured that this will not permanently affect you; it is merely a precaution during this transitional period. Physical ability has been left intact, and the recreational levels have several gyms and sporting areas for your use. Keeping fit is greatly encouraged by the Centre.

Lastly, the Centre regrets to inform all Corps members that the holographic chambers on Recreational Tier #7 are currently out of order. A notification will be sent when they are operational. All holographic chambers are 35 credits per hour/per user.

Should you have any further queries, please address them to admin@city.net.

OOC BULLETIN

So starts Week #1, and with it, the game. There are several issues to cover in this post!

» plot registration. You can now sign your character up beforehand for any future events. A good percentage will have negative effects on the character, either permanent or temporary. If you do not want your character affected, do not sign them up. If a specific event is coming up, it will be mentioned in this bulletin with a week's notice so you can specifically sign your character up for that event.

» entry and logging. To avoid clogged-up logs, try and limit log sizes to groups of five or less for initial interaction. Characters will be arriving in waves of three to five at a time from the lifts, so there's no excuse for reclusive characters not to meet at least one other person. If you see an empty log post, tag that instead of making a new one of your own, and try to keep to a posting order so players aren't excluded by those faster at tagging or with more time to spare.

» journals & apartments. Apartment assignments will be up in the next hour. However, all apartments have been temporarily closed off for the hours in which characters are arriving. The pubs, shops and laundrettes are all open, and the pubs have free toilet facilities. After your character has been in at least one log, they can enter their apartment and find their computer. All rooms have IDs on the doors, and all characters have been given the basic knowledge needed for working their laptops.

FW: RE: FLOOD RISK MEASURES

No, it is unlikely that water levels will reach #3 before maintenance. In the event that it does happen - pressure problems have been reported with our current lift models in previous constructs - seal off residences remotely. It is important that you do not allow panic or incompatible independent action to spread in such a case.

Looking forward to future results,
George Harrison

Newsletter #5 – Week 9

Good morning, Citizens! The City Co-ordination & Rehabitation Centre is delighted to welcome you all to a brand new day. We are pleased to see you are settling in and especially glad to note Citizens are taking it upon themselves to organise a Welcome Committee. This is precisely the sort of effort the City needs. Citizens' participation will be noted and rewarded in due time – although virtue is its own reward! The Centre wholeheartedly encourages activities like these and hopes to see more such efforts in future, and a happier, more cooperative City environment for all.

Several Citizens have been recalled lately due to unresolveable issues of physical compatibility with the adjustment process. We understand those of you left behind may be concerned for your fellow Citizens, but rest assured there is no cause for concern: they have simply been returned to the worlds from which they originated.

The 1st Section apartment block has been the cleanest on Tier #3 this week; accordingly, this section will be awarded a 300 credit bonus to be divided amongst its residents.

The following Citizens are personally thanked for their continuing cooperation and dedication to the promotion of a peaceful City environment, and will each be awarded an additional 50 credit bonus on top of their usual 50 credits per week:

2SU41 Shikamaru Nara
2VL63 Viral
2BK29 Black Jack
2NO38 Nanao Ise


Those who have yet to fill out the official questionnaire are reminded and encouraged to do so.

Finally, Citizens should note that the Recreational Tiers (#7 & #8) will be closed for maintenance tomorrow between 0900 hours and 2100 hours. We apologise for any inconvenience.

_____

OOC: As per usual, if you've got any questions, you can drop the mods a line and we'll be happy to help.

We'd also like to remind you to update your friends lists, just to make sure everyone's up-to-date. :Db

Newsletter #4 – Week 7

Good morning, Citizens. The City Co-ordination & Rehabitation Centre apologises for the delay in this week's Newsletter. This was caused by a network error earlier this week. Any Citizens who have experienced abnormalities in the usual functionality of CityNet are reassured that we are working to ensure this will not happen again. Citizens are reminded that, in the event of technical errors, they are encouraged to contact the Centre immediately so that these problems can be rectified.

As ever we would like to extend our thanks to all Citizens for your willingness to work together for a happy, peaceful society, and our sincerest hopes that you will continue to do so – especially as concerns the welcoming of new Citizens, and the care of minors.

We have important news for all Citizens this week: due to the increasing population of the City, Tier #3 is no longer the only inhabited Tier. In order to engender a greater community spirit, and to minimise disorientation for Citizens who would be otherwise arriving in an empty Tier, the following Citizens have been relocated to Tier #4:

2RS13 Roxas
2YE20 Yuffie Kisaragi
2DK39 Dark Mousy
2NO47 Naruto Uzumaki
2ML55 Mail Jeevas
2SU56 Saguru Hakuba

We hope you settle in to your new homes with minimal disturbance, and keep in mind that you can still access other Tiers via the lifts, so your fellow Citizens on Tier #3 aren't out of reach!

The 2th Section apartment block has been the cleanest on Tier #3 this week; accordingly, this section will be awarded a 300 credit bonus to be divided amongst its residents.

The following Citizens are personally thanked for their continuing cooperation and dedication to the promotion of a peaceful City environment, and will each be awarded an additional 50 credit bonus on top of their usual 50 credits per week:

2OE17 Olette
2YI37 Yoruichi Shihouin
2SU56 Saguru Hakuba
2AL80 Abel Nightroad

Those who have yet to fill out the official questionnaire are reminded and encouraged to do so.

_____

OOC: Characters who've been moved will have found themselves in their new apartments on Tier #4 this morning – their belongings have been arranged almost as they were in their old apartments, so it may take them a while to realise the difference. We take pleasure in your disorientation.

Take a look at the apartment assignments for their new addresses.

If you've got any questions, the mods will be delighted to answer them; drop us a line if you need anything.

Good morning, Citizens! The City Co-ordination & Rehabitation Centre once again thanks you for your continuing cooperation and willingness to settle comfortably into your new homes. We are pleased to extend a welcoming hand to new Citizens and hope those of you who have been here longer will do the same. Remember, we are all in this together, and there can only be progress through cooperation.

We are pleased to inform you that the network problems affecting CityNet have been fixed, and the chat room is once again available for use. Everything else is running smoothly, and, with your help, we can all do our best to ensure this remains the case indefinitely.

We would also like to extend our thanks to those who participated in this week's Centre-endorsed teambuilding exercise. We hope these activities have enriched your experience and will help build a cooperative, friendly society. We hope those selected for participation in the next exercise will be as cooperative and enthusiastic as the previous group.

The 4th Section apartment block has been the cleanest on Tier #3 this week; accordingly, this section will be awarded a 300 credit bonus to be divided amongst its residents.

The following Citizens are personally thanked for their continuing cooperation and dedication to the promotion of a peaceful City environment, and will each be awarded an additional 50 credit bonus on top of their usual 50 credits per week:

2DX09 Demyx
2WO34 White Knight Leo
2RA36 Rukia Kuchiki
2SA44 Sakura Haruno

Those who have yet to fill out the official questionnaire are reminded and encouraged to do so.

_____

OOC: The chatroom is obviously back up again, so you're all welcome to throw your characters' IC screennames back in there now. Try not to abuse it to the exclusion of journals and threading, please!

As ever, if you've got any questions, the mods will only be too happy to answer them if you drop us a line.

2ML55 Mail Jeevas

Hello, Citizens. The City Co-ordination & Rehabitation Centre would like to thank you for your continuing patience and cooperation, and are pleased that you are adjusting to your new environment. We hope that you are coming to see it as a home away from home.

New members of the Peace Corps are, as ever, thanked for their decision to help, and encouraged to ask other Citizens for assistance if there is any aspect of City life that they do not understand. The Centre can be contacted via CityNet if you have any unanswered questions with which other Citizens cannot help you, but remember cooperation is key to a happy society.

The cardiovascular exams are under way, and we have been pleased with the results so far. However, there is some noted risk of later health problems due to lack of exercise. We would therefore like to remind and encourage you to make use of the gyms on Recreational Tiers #7 and 8, especially those Citizens whose bodies have been altered, majorly or minorly, by the interdimensional transition. Regular physical activity will help you adjust for the hopefully short period during which any of your abilities remain suppressed. We have noticed some concern about this matter and would like to reassure you that this is not permanent; indeed, in many individual cases you have been selected because of your abilities and it would do us no long-term good for you to be without them. However, we feel an environment in which they are suppressed is most conducive to your readjustment and training.

We are pleased to inform you that the holographic chambers on Recreational Tier #2 have been undergoing repairs and are now fully operational. Users will be charged 35 credits per session, except in the case of Centre-endorsed teambuilding exercises, which are mandatory but free of charge. Notifications will be sent to Citizens regarding these exercises.

The 2nd Section apartment block has been the cleanest on Tier #3 this week; accordingly, this section will be awarded a 300 credit bonus to be divided amongst its residents as they see fit.

The following Citizens are personally thanked for their continuing cooperation and dedication to the promotion of a peaceful City environment, and will each be awarded an additional 50 credit bonus on top of their usual 50 credits per week:

2HA46 Hinata Hyuuga
2JO45 Juugo
2RU16 Riku
2RA36 Rukia Kuchiki

Those who have yet to fill out the official questionnaire are reminded and encouraged to do so.

Finally, we apologise for the network error that has disabled the CityNet chat room. We are working to rectify this problem.



[ OOC: A COUPLE OF THINGS -

The chatrooms have been intentionally disabled to encourage characters to get out and interact with one another face to face. This is on behalf of both the scientists, who are troubled by people not getting out enough, and by the mods, who would like to see more activity by way of threading and in the journals.

We'd also like to remind you it's no fun if everyone works everything out too soon, and we'd appreciate it if you kept your characters' wandering minds on a leash as far as deducting anything too close to the truth is concerned – and to please, please ask other players before you do something that involves their character.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, the teambuilding exercises mentioned will hopefully provide a fun! threading! opportunity! for people – IC, characters will be picked at random, but if you'd like to sign one of yours up for an activity thread, you can volunteer them here – and remember if you've got any questions you can contact any one (or more!) of the mods, who'll be a lot more helpful than the Centre scientists. :Db ]

TO: David Ferrick
Cc: Bryan Lee; Sharon Johnson; Tim Groves; Helen Redgraves;

Auxiliary systems are now back on-line. The lifts have received maintenance, but #4 has been partly disabled on Tier #6 by subjects 2WU90 and 2JA52. Disciplinary action should not exceed the previous levels, and recall protocols 2a-7h should not be attempted.

The lighting and SkyviewTM systems will be reinstalled within two days.

Keep up the good work,
George Harrison

Broadcast #1

Through hidden speakers in all tiers, facilities and apartments, the Centre makes its first broadcast. The voice is clear and neutral, artificial to the point that no gender can be determined, and does not react to any response from its listeners.

"Good morning, Corps members. We hope your first night in the City was satisfactory, and are pleased to see that all of you were present for the 08:00 scan. We would like to remind you that this procedure is in your own interests, to avoid adverse reactions to the new environment. Now that you are all settled in, there are a number of points that must be covered before you can start normal life in the City. Therefore, we ask that everyone logs in to CityNet today at 17:00 for Orientation. It is also a chance for any Corps members with questions to ask an official Centre representative, although a representative is always available via the administration e-mail address.

We look forward to talking with you all soon."
