Current plot info/update for new arrivals!

Before anyone worries, everything is okay and we're glad to have you all! We got a couple questions about how new arrivals would deal with the current night update and the masquerade event, and since we've got a handful of people, I'm posting the answers here to make it easy to get to:

* The intro things and arrival wanderings are fine! As mentioned in the night update linked above, if you fall asleep in another house, you will wake up in Third House in the Sitting Room in the center of the masquerade thing. (This is entirely likely and possible considering that the Night is lasting the equivalent of two weeks time IC'ly, so you've got plenty of time to do whatever.)

* After a while, you will start to feel the odd discomfort/sick feeling described in the update; it'll start out minor and get worse as time passes.

* If you're feeling sick and the effects are creeping up on you around the Unnatural Servants in Third House, one of them will seem to notice your character and go to them with one of the cloth masks, and be fairly insistent on them taking it - you can ignore them and avoid it, but they'll wander back by and offer it periodically throughout the night.

* It'll work just like it does for everyone else, with the masquerade costume, if your character puts it on, and if they don't, it'll be the same as for anyone else who doesn't.

* If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or ask one of us in chat or IM!

Welcome to the game and enjoy the party!
