WELCOME + TRADING POST
Welcome to Phantasmal Rift! As your character arrives at Keystone Station following whatever harrowing experience they had in the Fissures, there's a few things you might want to look into doing that can be handwaved without much mod interaction -
HOUSING
The housing page has apartments available for characters to move into if they so desire! Rooms are not mod-assigned, so be sure to sign up for one if that's something your character would look into. There are several different types and locations of apartments to choose from, so please read that page thoroughly before you decide!
NETWORK ACCESS AND IC INBOXES
Characters newly arriving in the Station will be given free access to the network! If they have an existing device (such as a smartphone or similar), the androids can update it to log directly into the network. Failing that, they'll be given a fancy, brand-new, waterproof device. (Existing devices can also be made waterproof, because the androids are cool that way.)
You can find out more about the station's network at this FAQ.
IC inboxes on your character's journal, for private messages and the like, are encouraged, but not required. Please note that threads on IC inboxes do not count for points.
FREE STUFF
Upon arriving to the station, your character will be able to pick up a free change of clothes from the boxes set up in the common room. This is entirely handwaved. Characters will usually find something that fits them, though it may be difficult or even impossible for a true fashionista to pull together something satisfying from the cast-offs of the universe.
In addition, there is a box of free swimsuits in the Annex room containing the hot tub.
CHECK-UPS
Within a few days of the end of an expedition, Strange, the android who serves as station doctor, will ask everyone to check-in with them for a brief exam. This exam is voluntary and non-invasive (as Strange uses a form of analysis magic rather than blood tests or similar), though Strange strongly encourages everyone to go and will likely grumble at you a bit if you don't show up at some point. The explanation for the check-ups is that exposure to the Fissures can cause people to unexpectedly manifest magical powers they didn't have before; Strange's scans at least offer the chance for some forewarning.
If your character would have anything especially unusual turn up in their scan, or would not attend the check-up at all, please let a mod know so that we can keep track! Additionally, if your character has an old injury or other chronic health problem, Strange may approach them about treatment options (though, again, all treatment is voluntary). Finally, if your character has a need such as medication or the like, the acquisition of such from Strange can also be handwaved.
TRADING POST
Got unwanted loot? Interested in something someone else discarded? This post serves as a catch-all for the IC trading post, which can be found under a header every intro log. Loot from past trading posts can be claimed in the comments of this entry.
Note: Please do not thread out trading post interactions on this post! That's what the intro log header is for. This is just your one-stop shop to grab-and-go things from the past that would otherwise vanish into the piles of junk.
Unclaimed items are placed here sometime after the intro log, except for food items, which are either discarded or moved to the kitchens.
