Landing Parties: Open Mingle Log
Jul. 26th, 2014 09:05 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bordersmodsWho: OPEN TO ALL!
Where: The landing platforms, the gates into Peridexion, and around the city
When: Sunday through Tuesday
What: Arrival and orientation
Warnings: None as of yet
Sunday was the last day of arrivals for the first wave of Peridexion’s new residents, and it was one of the busiest as people with last minute commitments finally made the trip, people finished scrounging together their belongings or funds for their portion of the journey, or people just tended to put things off and wound up on the very last flights, trains, or bus and van caravans. The landing platforms in particular were full of dragons coming and going, often lingering too long while passengers fussed and getting in the way of the next arrival, who circled above waiting for a place to land properly. The gates to the city, where the cheapest transportation-- long-distance buses, mostly-- was finally arriving from the last passenger train for the season, were also bustling.
Current residents, whether volunteers or city employees, waited to greet newcomers. People were shown to their homes, whether via internal city dragon transport or horse-drawn carts full of luggage.
Those already settled in from earlier flights and earlier trains had another plan in store, and from Sunday through Tuesday, all new residents were assigned an orientation meeting and tour of the city. Participation was not mandatory… but it was certainly strongly encouraged, both as a good way to get to know the neighbors and a good way to learn about their new home. Besides, lunch (or breakfast, or dinner, depending on the time of the orientation) was provided for free.
