[Video|Action|Open] [One of the larger meeting rooms in the Education Center has long tables scattered around with different foods--sandwiches, a small variety of vegetable and fruit platters, and even crackers and cheese--and several drinks, from tea to punch. It is currently being dressed up with balloons and a large banner that says "Welcome to Marina." Miranda had made the orders with the kitchen robots a couple days before, but yesterday...hadn't been a good time. But today is the only day she can think of where it's really needed. With some nervousness, she turns on her headset.]
Umm...G-Good afternoon, everyone. [She brushes some hair behind her ear, then her hands disappear, out of sight.] Waking up here, in Marina, ummm...can be a little confusing and possibly scary, b-but it's all right! We were all new here once, so don't feel like y-you're alone. The Welcoming Committee wants you to know we're here for you and we want you to feel comfortable here--e-even if this isn't where you would choose to be. If you found s-something wrong with your welcome basket, please let us know? We could always use suggestions for improving it, o-or more committee members?
[Oh right, the real point of her announcement.]
So umm...there will be a light lunch and treats at the E-Education Center at five o'clock, if you would like to meet some of your fellow residents? Anyone can come, even if you've been here a long time. I--um, We just want you to feel comfortable and maybe make friends. No one has to be alone here.
{OOC: Feel free to volunteer to finish getting the room ready if you want, or just come to enjoy the food. Mingle, mingle! There is a video thread if you only want to speak to Miranda. Also, any Welcoming Committee members who want to say they helped plan/set up the luncheon, go right ahead!}
