At this point, your characters should be going through whatever routine they'd do on a weekend morning. That should make it easier.

telling us explicitly the implied direction given by the IC entry post is not going to help: you've given us no framework in which to work. How long have we been here? What's the usual thing that new people would be doing, if they were new? how does this city in the middle of nowhere sustain itself? is there an internet connection? with whom are we living? Giving too much freedom of worldbuilding to the cast leaves us unable to properly post, unknowing if we're breaking the rules of your storyline.

Sigh. I'm starting to have real doubts about my ability to GM, but I'm willing to give this a go.

New Celestia has been in existence since just after World War I. The gods had been slow to realize it, but as their worshippers dwindled over the centuries and millennia, their powers had withered, too. The city was established so the gods would never be completely forgotten, as well as being a safe place for demigods, who tend to attract dangerous supernatural phenome to them. Demigods get a place to stay, gods get an insurance policy, everyone wins.

A typical first day for a demigod, after they arrive, is to be sent to the Grand Temple. There is usually a demigod of Thoth or another writing/knowledge deity on hand, ready to answer any questions and get their name and ancestry recorded. After this, they get a tour of the city, while suitable accommodations are found. The Council always makes sure to have a bunch of unused but livable houses ready, and all homes are enchanted by the goddess Hestia. If you want to change the décor, you just have to think it.

The city is fully up-to-date with modern technology; in fact, probably a handful of years ahead, thanks to the efforts of Hephaestus, who tends to come by regularly. It might be in the middle of nowhere, but agricultural demigods can easily grow enough food with their powers, and if something goes wrong, the gods themselves have been known to pitch in. Granted, they haven't had any need to since the Dust Bowl, but it's happened before. Water is handled in a similar manner.

In case of a massive emergency, the traditional meeting place is the entranceway to the Grand Temple, although those in places of large concentrations of people, such as the markets or school, may tend to ask those around them for information. Usually, information gets around very quickly.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm probably missing something. Any further ideas are appreciated.

Will it be ok to have my character just now joining the school? I have this really good (and long) idea for my intro post but it revolves around me just joining New Celestia.

Hey @GoodLuckTuck I am going to have Ainsley have a tour of the place and I was thinking we could meet in the market place area or the like. What do you think?

Sounds good to me!

@shagranoz
I have some questions on housing. Is it like dorm rooms, where each person has a bedroom and then a main dining/hanging out place to go? If not then how close is housing to each other? Are there different sections for gods/goddesses (like Norse and Greek and Roman sections)? Etc. Sorry if you have mentioned any of this before.

It is not like dorms- each house has a full kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room, and enough bedrooms for all occupants. The houses are fairly close to each other, and are not separated by pantheon. Hope that answers your questions.

Last question, sorry.
Are there multiple people in one house? (If so how many?)

Depends. Some people prefer to live alone, some have roommates, and sometimes entire families live together.

I think it would be great if Ainsley was put in the same house as Mikill. That's your choice though, and there's other ways for our characters to interact.

I will also have Mikill be in the market place and see Ainsley (and Loki?).

Yes, you can, but since I can tell you're new to roleplaying, let me give you some pointers.

This is the OOC, or Out Of Character section. This is where you post things that are general chat, or plan out plots with other RPers. Once you make a character and have it accepted, then you can post with them in the IC, or In Character section.
