Welcome Diner project!
Hi, thank you to everyone for the reception wrt the Welcome Diner idea, OOC / IC posts! This is an update so people know what's happening and how their character could be contributing!
THE DINER: Instead of picking and clearing out one of the diners already available in the city, a building corner close to the City Hall Station is going to be picked and fitted to become the location for the Welcome Diner. This means clearing out the building, but also ransacking actual restaurant/diners for their kitchen pieces!!
WHAT ELSE: The diner is also meant to be a place that information and resources can be found in, and so anyone willing to make any/leave any they've already made would be grand! Helping to check out how full/empty apartment buildings are, helping with map making -- this was brought up by Althea, and people to help out with it would make the work for faster! If you have any questions or ideas, or think we missed anything, please let us know! There are plenty of odd jobs that would be available, from photocopying, to writing, etc. Flyers will need to be made and placed around advertising the diner! There was also a talk in the network post about discussing what's good to make known to newbies, what information to make available/should be covered. We can use this post for that, though if people would want an IC in person talk about discussing it, I wouldn't mind making it! But I know we have the current event going strong.

- If any characters would want to help out with this process, let us know or feel free to say they did! Kaveh (fussiest) is the one heading the reconstruction, from reworking the rewiring and layout, but if anyone would have experience in doing that, mayhaps a team-up effort can be done?? 😎 (I understand Broca also offered help with rewiring!!)
- However, this will mean that the 'diner' won't be the prettiest it could be in time for next month's newbies, but will have a simpler set-up with chairs and tables brought in for the front, and meals prepared and packaged off-site and then reheated there, with some cold option meals. If any characters would like to help with artwork or picking paint colours, etc, please feel free to say!
- Nevertheless, even with the not most pleasing aesthetics, people who don't mind being around the diner to meet any potential newbies would be grand. Or people simply willing to mention it to any new people!

- Some characters have spoken about resources for more specific species or issues. Would any characters be interested in writing out guides for modern tech like phones, utilities, etc? This wouldn't really need to be written out, just a blurb, but even if the actual details are handwaved, it being available can be added with all credit going to the character. So, for ideas:
- Guide on modern technology
- Identifying medicines to make them more recognisable when you don't come from modern America. :(
- Anything culturally or specific to particular species that your character would think useful to share!
- If your character has a guide/resource that goes into more detail that's available outside the diner (but a copy would be available there), it can still be linked, as we planned to link to anything like that - and clubs, and character services, etc - here!
- Guide on modern technology
