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! )

Donuts are very tasty, and I had some to share, so I thought that maybe he would want some too! [ Well, she gets an A for effort, if nothing else. It also takes a moment, but Mantis soon realizes she may have a searching companion! ] Oh! Are you searching for Chyler's puppy as well?
no subject
I suppose if it works... [Let's hope the pup has a sweet tooth. At Mantis's question, Relm nods.] I am. Something tells me he's not in this compound anymore, though.
no subject
I think you are right... [ So the search must expand! ] Where have you looked so far? I hope he is okay, it must be frightening to be lost if you are a puppy.

I have looked everywhere on the compound! [ Maybe more like almost everywhere, but, ] And I do not think he is there, so maybe he is in the neighbourhood instead? Maybe he has found other food, so he does not want the donuts? Oh, I hope that he still wants the donuts...
