[And there's Colin, coming out of the distillery and grabbing a megaphone he'd built some time ago.]
Hello, newcomers! Welcome to the Bastion!
[He hops up near the monument, keeping a bit of distance from Zahi, and he's smiling.]
I'd like to apologize for the delays in getting any news out to you! With your arrival, we've almost quadrupled our population!
First things first, food is coming! It'll be a little while, we've got to cook a LOT to make sure everyone's satisfied! Give us about an hour, and we'll start filling your bellies! If anyone wants alcohol, our Bartender Georges has the spirits to lift your spirits, rest assured!
Next, shelter! This is going to take a little while, but you'll all have homes in short order! To the southwest of our residence, there will be plenty of lodgings! The trick will be sorting out who goes where!
In front of me is our information station, you can call it Shard! You'll recognize it by the hologram of the nice spinning crystal! Over the next couple of hours, if you'd like to queue up, you can tell Shard how many people are in your families slash preferred lodging arrangements, and we'll get a nice housing lottery set up to ensure that everyone gets a place to sleep BY NIGHTFALL. Nobody is going to be sleeping under the stars if they don't want to!
Now, you may have noticed music playing? That's Ibuki, our resident musician! We're setting up a party to celebrate everyone's safe arrival here! If you want to hear a song, feel free to request it from her! She's practically an encyclopedia of music! This evening, we will also be playing several movies! If any of you are from Earth, we will be showing Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring on the screen outside the apartments! I'll also be setting up a second screen to show Beauty and the Beast, a charming fairy tale that is suitable for all ages! We're going to make sure that everyone here has a chance to relax after all their trouble!
If anyone is injured or has medical concerns, the hospital is to the northeast of here! That way! We've got a small medical team, but we will see to anyone who needs it!
[Colin points in the direction of the hospital then.]
FINALLY! If anyone has questions, by all means, feel free to ask!
Shard here was designed to answer any basic questions you may have! If Shard CAN'T handle anything, come to the Distillery! You'll recognize it by the foot traffic and the smell of food! There will be people there who can answer your questions, and if they can't, they'll come find me!
Please pardon our dust, as we were not expecting this many people! And please, don't be surprised by the dragon flying around to the east! He'll be bringing by a mammoth in short order that we'll be carving up for piping hot meat for everyone! His name is Paarthurnax, and he'll be more than happy to speak with any of you that want engaging, understanding conversation!
Now, on behalf of the entire Bastion... Welcome! And I hope that you can enjoy your stay!
[He's done speaking. He knows he's not totally done, someone ALWAYS speaks up at this point, but he's made sure that the majority of everyone here has answers and a schedule that they can deal with.]
