interest check!

Hi, everyone! Some IC discussion has led to the following idea that myself and Robby Keene's player (strongroots) would like to propose OOCly first, to make sure we aren't stepping on any toes (we're not sure if there's plans for anything like this!) and to see if players would be welcome to it!

We would like to have a Welcome Diner located close to the City Hall Station (and advertised inside it) where newcomers could come to have a warm meal, learn the very basics of the city from a leaflet (that everything is free, these events have happened, watch out for the ice cream, please check the network for possible friends–nothing in-depth, but more of a 'help to settle in' message), and where people can advertise clubs, doctors can leave their contacts, or all sort of meetings can be promoted. The main idea is just to run a place where people can take it easy for a moment and settle down after suddenly arriving in the City.

Other people could potentially help out at the diner if they like, and there could be a link for the growing clubs and/or services being offered, and other resources.

During the weeks where there aren’t new arrivals the diner will still be opened, though a little more limited - mostly still as a place where people can come for a non-weird-magically-appearing-restaurant-meal or just for some company.

EDIT: There's an IC post about it now in case you'd like to hit it up! c:

this sounds like a really sweet idea to me! having somewhere that's more newbie friendly than the tourist center, that's actually run by people who know what the hell is going on avoids samey conversations about the mechanics/past events

and i also just think the diner idea is very cute. i am a sucker for the vibes.

(also hello, i was daniel on the last months TDM so i have first hand experience with finding myself asking the same questions as a new arrival lmaoooo)

i like it! i'd be glad to throw my character in it once it's up. dimitri can help out with welcoming/prep work for the diner's kitchen, he'd be happy to lend a hand.

This is sooo cute ♥ I think it's a fantastic idea and a great way to encourage new CR! I would love to have Louis lurk around while he tries to find some way to make himself useful here :')

Great idea! Hob would also be willing to help if needed. Even if he's just wiping down tables and doing the dishes.

[fanstheflames]

Please let Tsuruno cook and wait tables and involve herself in people's business it'll be just like home--

[rescinded_vow]

omg I love this idea. Armand would be dubious at first, but he's missing a 'hub' so would absolutely gravitate here and would help out! The most stone faced server you've ever seen coming right up!

[fullgauntlet]

Izuku can't cook that well but he'll be happy to help with set up, clean up and helping newbies with info!

[coolerjunpei]

hell yes this owns. love a community place that isn't liminal and spooky... junpei Will hang up his little club flyers in there.

[possessum]

I love it.... please imagine Peter helping Daniel out on occasion (I say "helping out" as though he wouldn't just be in the way....) but he could probably sweep floors and take out trash.....

[matermali]

This is awesome and I love it. I don't know how involved Vanessa will get, but she'd definitely drop by to give her support for a lil bit (and see who the newbies are). Maybe help clean up, too

[whatsamada]

I could have Ken and Hu Tao drop by to help out! Even if they are new lol

[lupusintus]

Love the idea! So many dad vibes, Daniel. This guy still feels bad for scaring the crap out of him, so he might be willing to help out with something to make up for it.

Oh hello, Midnight will be spending so much time there LOL. He's planning on opening a host club at some point for about the same reasons, but he understands that a host club is not exactly a family friendly venue, so he gets the need for a tamer welcome wagon. 👍
