at approximately 5:55 PM, a small, quaint ferry begins to pull up to the side of the dock in miami. the ship comes to a still and there's a stretch of time where nothing happens at all.
after a minute, an anchor is dropped. A bridge connects to the land without anyone manning it, as if by magic. Another minute of silence passes before a voice that sounds more staticy than human speaks over the various speakers on the ferry.
🗣️ "ahoy! this is yer captain, clifford sharon. mind yer step and yer luggage. if ya brought any vehicles along with you, make sure ta put it in long term parking. leave'um behind. go on-- we'll wait for ya, ain't no rush here. welcome aboard!"
perched on one of the low railings is a calm looking goose with wee spectacles and a bonnet.
the welcome committee has set up an information stand on the deck with a QR code that links to their website (the url is listed under the code for the tech unsavvy), and a stack of printed brochures with the same welcome information on it. why not fill out their birthday survey while you're waiting?

as the boat approaches the island, a large sign hangs over the dock. it reads: welcome to destiny.
another information stand is installed on the dock, next to flashlights and printed maps that are available for new arrivals.
assuming that nothing happens to our feathered friend, the goose intends to be your guide, as they would like to make sure you arrive to the inn safely. in addition, there is typically a member of the welcome committee present to greet newcomers.
there's a yellow-ish brick road to follow, complete with wooden trail signs to guide the way, and rental bikes to get there faster. a cargo bike manned by four wisps (one on each pedal, one on each handle) will gladly pedal your luggage up to the inn.
or... you can just take the portal on the beach. it'll lead you to Moongate Meadow, which leads to the inn. are there any other tales waiting to welcome the new arrivals to the island? let us know!

the portals cut out the eight mile trek to the inn. the wisps have prepared rooms for everyone.
welcome committee has prepared gift baskets for new residents, delivered by wisps to their room, and there's a paper with instructions on how to connect to the island's social network.
now that they're here, what do they do?
