open!
who: Mantis & friends (and not friends! Friends she hasn't made, or even met yet! Mantis & You!?)
what: Mantis searches for a missing dog, also welcomes new arrivals!
when: Late September - through October depending on which prompts.
where: Around Perimeter Guard facilities, Riverview in general, including the arrival portal.
warnings: Will update as needed!
one; mantis and the case of the missing pup
[ Whether you are on the Perimeter Guard facility grounds, or in the immediate area beyond it, if you are out and about then it is very possible to see a young woman (non human, if the antennae sprouting from her forehead are any indication) wandering around as though in search of something. In one hand is a paper bag and the other, a plain donut that she is breaking pieces off and sprinkling around as she goes.
She is also calling out, ] Puppy! Dom the puppy! Where are you, puppy? Would you like a donut? I have donuts!
[ After seeing a post on the network regarding a missing dog, Mantis had taken it upon herself to join the search. Lend a hand? Ask for a donut? Get accidentally sprinkled by donut pieces, or hassled by pigeons who want said donuts sprinkled nearby? Be confused by this strange bug lady suddenly behind you shouting to a bush that rustled as though maybe a puppy were hiding but it's really just a space possum? ]
two; welcome!
[ Another day, another job to do!
Having been in the city for a little while now, Mantis feels as though she has a better handle on the sort of things that new arrivals should know, and what they're likely to ask. Where some of her colleagues seem to want to keep certain things unsaid until asked, Mantis has been observed to offer information more openly and readily - which, for the most part, seems to be received well by those she has greeted thus far. (It also helps that Mantis herself has experienced some strange things here!)
There are a few things that Mantis does as a part of the Orientation Unit, but today, she is spending most of her shift stationed at the portal. It is (as usual) uncertain who (or what) will come through, or when, but those lucky enough to arrive today have had the experience of Mantis being the warm face to welcome them.
She even has a box of muffins of various flavours to give people! So far, most of the muffins have gone to her fellow Perimeter Guard folk, but she's holding onto a few for any new arrivals because hey, if a free muffin doesn't soften the blow of hearing you've been ripped from your reality to live in this one for a while instead, what does? ]
( ooc note: This one can be anyone, anytime this month! New arrivals meeting Mantis rather than just NPCs upon arrival, fellow PG workers stopping by to say hello, anything goes! )
three; wild card
( Start something, or get me to start something specific! plurk or bumbles#7533 on discord, give me a poke! )

That settles it. The Scarlet Witch is officially on the case, too.]
I don't think I saw him earlier, but...what do you mean, a magic puppy?
no subject
I am told that he was created by magic, and that Chyler is worried that perhaps the magic wore off. [ She is hopeful that that isn't true, and sad to think of what it means if it is, but the moment is fleeting and gives way to a sudden idea. ] Oh! You are magical, right? [ She doesn't know Wanda or her capabilities well, but- ] Do you think that your magic can help?
no subject
[And she's not even sure if she could sense a magical dog.]
But I can try.
no subject
You can feel people? Without touching them? Can you tell who is who? Oh! How many people can you feel at once? That sounds like it would be very overwhelming, to feel many people at once.
no subject
And, well, missing puppy.]
Everyone nearby. It can be too much if I am not careful.
I've been able to find people before, but last time I knew what the people I was looking for felt like.
no subject
Do you think you could try? [ Wait ] If you want! I do not want you to hurt yourself.
no subject
But maybe we should try the park, or near the restaurants.
no subject
[ Sound logic, she thinks! But it really is a good idea to move on to another area, so Mantis walks with Wanda - not entirely giving up on her donut lure idea, though, as she holds a donut in her hand as they go. Just in case! ]
no subject
There's a hot dog vendor at the edge of the park and Wanda's eyes light up.]
What do you think? A fresh hot dog might help.
