Then she will read the rest of the materials in order, saving the one on what to pack for last since she... has nothing to pack.

The preferences quiz wants to place her on various personality measures and know her hobbies to place her with the right roommates (individual bedrooms, shared common area). The rest of it is more information about how Anesidora and Intake works.

She arrives at the Summonarium before she finishes all that. There's another hairless panther alien plodding along away from it, accompanying a wizard.

(Hazel's the one who takes the quiz because she's the original occupant of the body.)

In the meantime she'll head for the room she came in from.

One of the circles, not the big one she arrived at, has a white halo around it.

Over at the white circle there?

Just in case that's accidentally an incoming.

Alright, here goes.

She steps into the circle.

A star flares, and falls, and is gone.

Wait, what was that -

-She appears in a spacious booth with high quality screens acting as fake windows to a shiny modern city. There's a lot of medium height apartments and not too many really huge towers, a lot of architecturally fancy buildings with interesting shapes and colors in a built up area, a bunch of big green spaces with townhouse and suburb style setups, and ocean beyond it. Some digital labels show particular neighborhoods. Classy elevator music is playing. There are boats in the water and people on the beaches.

"Welcome to Anesidora, miss Gardenia! I'm Jeff, your customs officer for today. I see it's your first time here, so thank you for registering, and we'll go through the security stuff quick and send you off to Intake. Please take a seat for a moment while I pull up the right forms."

The door opens onto an alcove with a bunch more doors, some seating, and more screens.

She goes and sits down. Hopefully the System is competent enough not to cause a stir.

"Okay, we're all set on the security front! No contraband detected. You can come out to the office now. That's the green door. It looks like you don't have any luggage, did you send any ahead? There's a resettlement fund if you need it. Oh, and I'm going to need you to share your full System profile with our customs computers to assist with your Intake placement. If you don't wish to share your official profile, there's a questionnaire you can fill out instead. It is not illegal to have undisclosed powers, but abuse of undisclosed powers tends to be treated more harshly, just so you're aware."

"I didn't send any ahead, no. I could probably use the resettlement fund. And sure, I authorize the System to share my profile with you for customs purposes. I'm fairly sure my just saying it is good enough?"

Permalink

Profile shared.

"Yep, I've got it! I won't see the full details, just class, rank, level, and any red flags. Okay... Unique Wright. That's a new one. Most uniques just say 'unique'."

Permalink

"I don't know much more than you about that. What I know so far is that I can make living and working spaces a little better for their purposes with magic interior design and architecture."

Permalink

"Huh! Alright, here, let's get the forms ready."

There's a bunch of stuff. Passport stuff. Acknowledgements of Intake rules. Acknowledgment of Anesidoran laws. Papers to transfer her (technically fictitious) Canadian driver's license. Et cetera.

"I texted my supervisor and the question is whether you want a spot in the Wright building or the Rabbit building. Top few floors of that one are reserved for U-types. You'll meet a lot other builders and makers with the first option, and more variety with the second. And if your spot in intake really isn't working out you can always ask for a new one, so no worries."

"I haven't had long enough to read all the intake material, what's a Rabbit?"

Permalink

He blinks at her.

 

"...Uncommon class that's known for getting domestic skills for their powers and being summoned a lot. They can end up quite rich since Artonans pay well, so the stereotype is someone who focuses on money. I don't know how accurate it is. I'm a Meister of Staves, myself. I guess most normal people wouldn't know, it just would never matter to them, huh."

Permalink

"Then i would prefer the Wright building."

Permalink

"Sure! Okay, we'll get a car to take you over in a bit, for now fill out this for the resettlement fund..."

The Bureaucracy only takes another few minutes. Resettlement fund gives her a onetime gift card of 250 argold.

THEY JUST GAVE HER OVER A GRAND???

You've seen this kind of money before, Hazel. The federal student grants are that much. It's not an extraordinary amount of money for a government to throw around.

Permalink

Yeah but that was towards my education. This is just... for whatever?
