If you are curious about the situation of the city at large, have a look at our current World Status Page, as there are many details and additional prompts that change monthly!
❥ PROMPT I: Welcome to Havenwell!
Hello! Welcome! Everyone is very excited to meet you. You met the robot when you woke up, right? The one that said you've been brought by the gods to save their world? They're a little more reserved, but you might meet some who aren't.
Once you've had the gist of the situation explained to you, been assigned your tablet, and given a map that circles where the free housing is, you're free to wander the walled city. As you go, any number of robotic citizens approach you in a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Would you like a tour? Do you need help finding your new home? How about a different map? A coupon for a local shop? A hand to hold? There's no end of helpful voices and hands.
Some of the helpful voices and hands are a little too helpful, however, and you might find yourself fending off curious robotic researchers. They ask you questions about how you came to the world, request samples of hair or nail clippings, ask for...autographs? Handshakes?? A hug???
They also seem determined to shove new arrivals together, or new arrivals with other off-worlders, to see how they interact with one another, so you might find yourself pushed together with a stranger and asked to talk while robots look on, nod, and take notes until said robot researchers are satisfied with whatever data they're collecting. You're encouraged to hold hands, of course, but not required. But be warned: once you do hold someone's hand, it may seem oddly difficult to let go until you at least exchange names (or until the players agree sufficient interaction has occurred)!
❥ PROMPT II: A Delicious Delight

In the continued hopes of endearing themselves to newcomers, a division of the research towers are bringing back the drink selection to delightfully festive booths spread about the city staffed by a few robots wearing Rawna's colors in their sashes and hats. There are five drinks in total to choose from and you should certainly try them! When you take a sip of these exquisitely delicious beverages, prepare yourself for a little trick with your treat.
- Ginger and Honey Tea: A hot, thoroughly warming drink with the bite of ginger and the sweetness of honey. Drink this and you'll be shored up against the cold, but also feel compelled to tell or blurt out the truth. Whether you're asked a question or trying to tell a little white lie, you find you can't say anything but the truth. This effect lasts for up to an hour after drinking the tea.
- Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie: A cold sweet treat of vanilla smoothie topped with strawberry pieces and whipped cream. At the bottom, you'll find a layer of sweet sponge cake cut up into pieces. Drink this with its own special thick straw and enjoy the taste of cake; and the effect of a personal miniature snow cloud that appears over your head. The cloud dusts you and your immediate area within a foot of you with beautiful multicolored snow - and that snow leaves splotches of color behind that last for up to an hour after drinking the smoothie.
- Hot Cinnamon Apple Cider: A deliciously steamy beverage that tastes of apple and cinnamon and comes with a cinnamon stick stirrer for effect. This beverage smells as delicious as it tastes and the aroma wafts around the area more strongly than the others. Drink this penultimate holiday drink and you'll find yourself heating up so much that you'll want to stay cold by giving your heat away via holding someone else. You'll want to be everyone's personal heater for up to an hour after drinking the cider.
- Gingerbread Latte: A nice piping hot latte with the hint of gingerbread threaded through the coffee, topped with whipped cream and dusted with gingerbread spice. Served in a tall red cup that seems to transfer the heat uncannily well through its thin walls, sip this and you'll find yourself painlessly sprouting an animal's appendage at random. You can have one functioning or non-functioning, cosmetic animal appendage like a cat's ears, a dog's tail, a duck's beak or whatever else you can think of for up to an hour after drinking the latte. They can replace your original body part (e.g. your ears become cat ears) or grow superfluously (e.g. you have regular ears AND cat ears). You can move the appendages or talk with them as if they are your own, but they don't confer any special magical powers with them. So you can fly with those griffin wings, sure, but you're going to need to put the effort into it.
- Hot Mulled Wine (alcoholic): This one isn't for children - and in fact, under 18 people might find it hard (but not impossible, be industrious, little ones!) to get their hands on this drink. Red wine is heated with spices and citrus fruit over low heat for several hours - or it would if it wasn't all synthetically created. The effect is the same though, a delicious adult beverage that's a nice way to spend an evening with someone special. And you'll want them to be someone special because drinking the hot wine makes you inclined to get a little steamy with people. Kisses, both chaste and passionate, seem to alleviate the urge which you'll be under for up to an hour after drinking the wine.
❥ PROMPT III: Big Wick Energy

The city suffers from the occasional blackouts no more, but just in case, at each temple the city's natives have organized the supplies and materials to make candles, hoping that with the offworlders' help a stockpile can be made. Everything to make personalized candles in all manner of colors is available; pair off or into groups to work together, with the end result glowing brighter the more contact and cooperation goes into making them! Helping out will even earn a small dora bonus for all involved, especially if they make exceptionally bright candles together.
But that's not all! Candles made with just the right amount of care might do more than simply glow...
♥ Particularly short candles predictably don't last very long, but when they go out they explode in a sudden burst of multicolored confetti. Water soluble, of course, otherwise the city would have a whole other problem on its hands.
♥ Thinner candles tend to have a very comfortable scent to them that makes one just want to curl up in a comfortable spot and take a nap. If one were to give in to this urge, they'll find their dreams to be peaceful and wake up feeling fully rested.
♥ If the end result is a candle on the thicker side, the character that lights it will find themselves glowing as well even without the bioluminescent floral markings. This glow can be full-bodied or cover entire limbs at a time, becoming a walking nightlight for the hour or so the candle takes to burn down.
♥ Making a candle of average size will produce a scent the offworlder that lights it may not have encountered in a good amount of time; something nostalgic from their homes such as food they can't replicate quite right, or a flower that doesn't grow anywhere in Havenwell.

❥ PROMPT IV: Speed (Not!)Dating

The robots of Havenwell have encouraged the off-worlders and any visitors to get to know each other, and the locals have designed what they believe may be the perfect ice breaker! Speed Not-Dating: in which two people sit down across from each other in a typical get-to-know-you setting. There are cards with conversation starters, candles, and roses on the table, all of which the locals insist isn't for any romantic reason. Say hello, and exchange names and contact information! Holding hands is highly encouraged, but not necessary. Suspiciously, however, once two people do hold hands, they may not find the bond easily broken. Nevermind that, though! A pair who decides to leave from the speed (not) dating while hand in hand (or more, the locals won't judge!) will find themselves awarded with a gift basket. Within the present are a pair of matching onesie pajamas, of which the hoods sport ears of any animal you wish.
Have fun however you like with the setting! Make a network-style toplevel, make up other prompts based on the general setting or the World Status, go wild. Havenwell is your oyster.
