[Just outside of every entrance to the Bay, new arrivals might find a magazine stand stacked with fliers, each one with a sign overhead saying "READ ME." On the flier itself is a message.]

DON'T PANIC
If you're reading this you've probably just woken up in a strange place and are very confused.
Welcome to the club.

What I can tell you is that you're safe, this isn't a trick, and, no, we don't know any way back yet. The packet you woke up with should give you more information and include some cash and an apartment key.

If you need help, give me a call on that communicator you got. Or you can come by my office in Everglade.

[He nodded.]

Of course! I might've gotten a few nasty bruises, but... well everyone was okay. After that, Pyrrha was going to help me practice, but uh... Well now I'm here. Only thing she really managed to teach me was how not to just fall over when someone hits me.

[He rubs the back of his neck a little.] Soooooo... Which one of these places is going to be mine?

[Harry just nods sagely.]

Don't underestimate the important of being able to take a hit. Always helps to keep a few one-liners in reserve too. Bad guys hate that.

[And when they reach the fourth floor, he shrugs.]

Most of them are empty. Go nuts.

OOC: You know, I looked over the settings page and the apartments - we're sure these places have a fourth floor? I guess because the example was written as "101-106, 301-306," most people, me included, only assume there're three floors. Is it safe to assume this is not a big deal?

Ehhh, most of my one-liners are saved for my team mates. Most of the things we have to fight don't speak English. [Oh, that was surprisingly witty. He steps out onto the fourth floor and looks from door to door. He doesn't really care which one he got, really - as long as it's not already occupied of course. So he takes the first one he can run into starting from the stairs.] This one good? [He was trying to look for a name plot or... or something, just in case it was taken.]

[OOC: A wizard did it. But, yeah, not a big deal.]

You never know, and it's still best to be prepared.

[Harry sticks by the door to the stairway while Jaune wanders over to an apartment door.]

Looks good to me.

[Jaune opens the door anyway and steps inside the apartment to take a look around. It really was a nice place! He noticed that it looked a little more high-end from outside too... The place isn't Beacon, which had grand halls and was really... palace-like almost, but it was cozy. He was more used to such... more-humble lodgings.]

Niiiiice. This place has everything!

[Harry meanwhile, stops at the door and leans against the doorframe. Apartments were somewhat notorious for having feeble Thresholds but they were still there, holding back a chunk of his power if he crossed without being invited.

That, and it was just rude to do that.]

It's even got both hot and cold water. I'm guessing you're taking it?

[Jaune turned back to face Harry and nodded.] Yeah, I'll take it. Hey, best part? I don't even have to lug furniture around. So... Thanks for helping me out.

And, uh, sorry about your face.

Yeah, lucky day. Furniture hauling is not in the wizard job description.

[He grunts a little, rubbing his jaw where the mark from Jaune's shield is.]

Don't worry about it. Give me a call if you need a hand settling in, or need something magicked up.
