As the large group, including Walksfar, Almerane, Plisken, Cassiopia, Cyall and Ayita enter, they see a human woman in jeans and pink shirt approaching. A badge on her shirt identifies her as Karol Luis, Welcome Center Administrator. With a friendly smile, she introduces herself. "Welcome to the Welcome Center. As you may have been informed, we're a neutral sanctuary. Anyone can stay here and enjoy free room in board. Conflicts are forbidden, and are enforced by our protective and privacy wards. I'm Karol Luis, how can I help you?"
((OOC: Sorry for such a late reply, been busy with university thingies lately))
The cat nods at the greetign from Karol, letting the others do the talking as he peers around the centre, the light streaming in and the people bustling around. With a little shiver he peers this way and that, looking for where to go explore first...

Just outside the Atrium
Varrak picked himself up from the ground where he had fallen after his apparent subconciously attempted suicide and shook his skull. Sniffing the air he noticed a rather sizable knot of creatures on the other side of the door, he inclined his head curiously, lost in thought again, as his wings folded up behind him. Lots of people, one of me, risk? Then again that impact didn't hurt like it should have... The eyes shifted through a range of metallic hues, finally settling on something like molten brass, the creature hunched over forward and slipped inside the atrium, although stealth was not exactly one of the rather large creature's strong points.
Atrium
However unstealthy his presence itself might not have been, varrak made every effort to be completely silent as his pulse quickened, eyes darting to every person in the room and taking stock of what threat they would be. Of course another part of his mind insisted that somehow none of these creatures would be threats to him, not that he would really be able to do harm to them either, little good that part did as his feircely anti-social nature forced him back against the wall in a defensive stance, tail lashing slowly back and forth, tip of the blade clacking as it tapped the wall and floor. Just get out unnoticed and we'll be fine...

Outdoor swimming pool
Kaliana yelps in a playful manner when Maagra comes after her. Quickly she turns around and starts swimming away from her, although once again not all that increadibly fast. While she doesn't think she'll stand much of a chance, Kaliana will quickly dive underwater and swim into a different direction once Maagra comes close, hoping to get a bit of distance back.

(Sorry! Sorry sorry! Big family stuff over the weekend--Should've posted something about it. Forgive me please ; ; I guess that makes both of us a bit slack on our posting ^^;; )
Cafeteria
The little girl happily takes Learna's hand... and then stops. She stares at the hand she's holding and moves her fingers about a little bit, feeling the fur. It was such an odd feeling! She had pet kittens before... dogs, even weasels! But she was now holding a hand. A human-like hand covered in fur! To say that the experience was not exhilarating would be quite a lie, though her curiosity overwhelmed her moreso.
Not wanting to be rude, she clasps onto the hand firmly and smiles nervously, a blush on her face from sheer embarrassment. As she does so, the temperature in the room takes on a sudden chill, the clouds disappearing from the ceiling and the sound of thunder muting. The air became quite stale and thick, causing an annoying tingling in the throat.

Kara skips away to grab a fork, answering Karol as she does so. "Can we sit next to a window?" She carefully picks out one particular fork, trying to find one that looks different from all the rest. Finally she discovers a fork that has a slightly bend tine and carries that one like a prize back to Karol. "I like to look outside. I like trees and blue skies and sometimes grey skies. I like to walk in woods and count how many different kinds of birds I hear. Are there a lot of birds here?"

"Weel, some folks might object if ye washed in the lavatory sinks, but there's a place in each dorm wing tae wash yer clothes." Ian will show Belanth on the map where the laundry rooms in each dorm wing are. For example, the ones in the main building are wedge-shaped rooms near the Atrium.
"If ye've naught clean tae wear, check out these storerooms" (Ian shows the storerooms on the map as well) "an' see if ye might find somethin' tae fit ye, or else check wi' Lady Carol or Lady Ceera, they've some books wi' such i' them, an' it can be delivered tae yer room right quickly, mayhap before ye can gae there yersel'."
OOC: Sorry about the long posting delay - work was a bit of a bear. 
BIC:
"I appreciate the help. I think I will head on over to the room now - a good shower would feel wonderful."
Belanth shuffles his things, appearing to be ready to head off in the direction of his room. "Thanks again for the help."

Cafeteria
Learna's fur feels rough and on the heel of hand there is no fur. Her fingertips have a hard end like the hoof of a horse. If the light comes from the right direction, Celeste might see a sparkle on the fur.
Learna returns the smile from Celeste and then, at a comfortable speed for her, walks towards the...
Kitchen
As the doors open, a splash of warm, humid air loaded with lots of different odors engulf the two. The kitchen is filled with bustling activity, even though no one is here except the machines (and Learna and Celeste of course). Everywhere they look there is food boiling, frying, baking, marinating, flambéing...
Where food isn't processed there it is chopped, sliced, grated or otherwise prepared for the former step.
And there, on the side (left I'd guess) is the machine of interest. Through the opening in the wall the trays with the dishes come into the kitchen. Machine-arms remove the dishes and place them in a special rack, located on another conveyor. For each kind of dish there is a separate one. The dishes move through a plastic curtain into the washing machine and leave it on the other side clean. Unfortunately the actual washing-process is not visible.
(OOC: Hope the description is adequate.
Mourin: Just answer to Learna, as if she was still in the Cafeteria. (If you are still interested in the room))

 Thanks Honey ^.^

"Well, yes, of course.", Ellian replies to Francis Ulysses Undertow. "...assuming that our tour guide wouldn't mind... I doubt he will. Anyway, pleased to meet you."
Though already accustomed to unusual people, Ellian looks at the shark-man with just thinly veiled amazement.

Cyall overheard Francis Ulysses Undertow, Ellian and Maus MerryJest talking about a guided tour and felt much more comfortable with taking such a tour than wandering around by herself. Besides, she had no idea what questions to ask of the nice administrator person, Karol Luis.
"Um," she piped up from the back of the group, in a voice hopefully loud enough for everyone to hear, "W.. what about a guided tour?" She kind of froze as soon as she'd said that, quite sure that even if what she suggested was okay, she'd said it in a rude way. She ummd and ahhd a bit, trying to find something else to say.

Basement, Room U4
"Well... Should I leave you two alone to talk? I would imagine Jacquetta has many questions that you are well suited to answering, Neiako. Or can I perhaps convince you, Jacquetta, that here at the Welcome Center, it is safe for you to go out into the light? I'd like to show you the rest of the facility. I don't think Neiako has seen much more than the Atrium and the Cafeteria here, before today."

Bannock smiled with good humour, not the least because he'd been called 'sir', and threaded his way through the throng of people, turning about to walk backwards so that he wouldn't lose sight of EclipseIV.
Cafeteria
He faced forward again as he entered the cafeteria, smiling politely at the few figures in the room as he passed by into the...
Kitchen
Turning about, Bannock faced EclipseIV.
"So, feel like anything in particular?" he asked with a lopsided grin.

Pliskin flicks his ears towards the hovering Cyall, head moving to her voice as she speaks. Regardless of anyone else, he does hear her (large triangular ears come in handy sometimes) and nods at the suggestion, "I'd like that, get to see the place a little better"

Sable shakes his head again. It seems he's having a hard time adjusting to the idea that his Mistress might percieve him as anything other than a feline familiar.
# I... Rooms... Yes. New rooms. A good idea, for all three of us. Let's see if we can find one of the staff, shall we? #
Sable concentrates a moment. # My Mistress... is occupied. Attending to someone in the basement of the dorms. The other... Sarah, she calls herself now... is also busy. #
He looks around the Cafeteria.
# Mistress Karol? # he mindsends to the Karol in the Cafeteria.
# This is Sable. Ceera's familiar? Could you help us, when you have a moment? We need some new rooms. #
OOC: My apologies for not posting sooner. I forgot Sable was still with you both, and I haven't used him since his last post with you. It looks like Lorana's earlier room reservation 'fell off the list' because it wasn't being used. So when Karol has time, we'll set up new rooms. Sable isn't officially on 'staff', so he can't make a reservation. And both Ceera's are tied up at the moment.

Basement Storage Room
A short while after Mari Rose sits in the storage room, if she opens her eyes, she will notice that she is being observed by a black cat, with golden eyes. The kitty is sitting still, purring softly, and is about three feet in front of Mari Rose.
It is joined a minute later by a kitten with similar fur and eyes. The kitten also sits and watches Mari Rose, and purrs.
Basement Workshop
In the workshop, Argus pauses, and then accepts a sensory signal from the two cat mechas that he had released to explore the basement. He puts away his tools, and tucks the two rat mechas into a shopping bag that he had found on one of the workbenches. Picking up a flashlight, he heads through the door that leads in the direction of the storage room.
The first room seems to be the heating and cooling plants for the Center. He looks at them briefly, nodding in approval at the level of technology hidden under the complex. But he keeps moving, following a tracker signal from his other two mechas. In his vision, he sees three 'panes'. The lower half of what he can see is his own vision. But the upper half is split into two windows, displaying what the two cat mechas see. One of these windows also has a directional vector overlaid on it, indicating the range and direction to that mecha.
Basement Storage Room
Several minutes later, a male Human appears from a far corner of the storage area, carrying in his left hand a canvas shopping bag marked with the Welcome Center's logo, and in his right hand a flashlight. His hair is tied back in a pony tail, and his clothes are black. He pauses, looking at the tired woman in the chair.
"Hello? Are you all right, Miss?" He asks softly, with a voice that is deep, smooth and calm. He sounds like he could be a radio announcer. That kind of clear, crisp diction. He waits patiently for Mari Rose to respond to him.

Atrium
Kipp stepped into the atrium from one of he many portals, struggling to get through the occasional trouble spots where the crowd thickened. Making his way into a somewhat less crowded area, he sensed discomforture of some sort... he looked about the atrium slowly, his ability hindered by the amount of people present. His eyes locked onto Varrak pressed up against the wall. Padding silently over, he tried to approach the seemingly agitated figure with a smile and a small wave.

Maus smiles "It is no problem at all. The more, the merrier, I always say. Now, here's the question: Have you guys just recently arrived, or have you seen some part of the facilities? My idea is to start with the surrounding area- the recreational facilities, so to speak, and end the tour here with a through tour of the Welcome center and its facilities. I like to get my tourists out in the sun for the first run" He winks.

Kitchen
Celeste, a little surprised at first, looks around with a bemused expression on her face. This whole setting looked like something out of a cartoon she once watched. All the futuristic little gadgets and gizmos working together to keep a kitchen clean and efficient. Then she smiles... a nice, comfortable grin sets itself upon her face at the sight. Even if she didn't understand where the dishes were going, how everything was working, or what everything was doing... she was amused.
At the ceiling, clouds fade in, colored a foreboding dark grey. No thunder accompanies them... yet.

Seemingly as if coming out of a daze, like he was watching something unseen, or his conciousness was gone, Adum Nammu shakes his head.
Glancing around he seems to be trying to regain his bearings.

Sarah cocks her head slightly to one side, and repeats her earlier statement to A. N. Nammu.
"Excuse me? I guess you didn't hear me earlier. If you'll come this way, I'll take you to Karol's office, so she can meet with you. I assure you, it will be much faster than waiting for her to be free here. Coming?"
If he acknowleges her presence and allows it, Sarah will lead A. N. Nammu out of the Atrium, and down the hall of the Admin wing, to Karol's Office.

Ayita remains silent and covered by her blanket, watching the group for a few moments more before deciding it's safe to remove her blanket and doing so, revealing her vibrant plumage and scale coloration as she folds up the bearskin and ties it to her quiver. Although revealed, she still says nothing...yet.
