Foreigner Welcome Center

Having taken the project over from the original Pepper Potts after her disappearance, Jack began heading up the welcoming committee for new arrivals to Keeliai. With the assistance of Emperor Eshai he was given a permit for a coveted centrally-located space in the city and with funds stemming from his holdings at Stark Industries, he was able to set up a small, two room welcome center.

It's vaguely reminiscent of a hotel information lounge with a couple consoles, assorted seating, a wall full of city information and brochures and maps. Listed also on this wall are addresses of kedan shops that are willing to hire Foreigners for both short term and long term basis (these have been vetted by Jack himself so their owners are friendly to Foreigners). There are two plaques on the wall: one commemorating the original welcoming committee to Pepper Potts and a second in memoriam to the Ironwood Emperor Eshai.

There is also a small lending library of books that are in non-kedanese languages. The small back section has been set up as a mini office for coordinating things. New arrivals will have the center's location mentioned to them by the assisting kedan who bring them from the Palace into the city*. Foreigner-offered services offered through the Welcome Center are:

• English lessons; reading and writing by Bean BEAN has left Keeliai
• Foreigner missions; coordinated by Monet MONET has left Keeliai

MAY 2014 UPDATE - IMPORTANT!
As part of the new arrival process for newly summoned characters to the city, based on the updates from the May 2014 State of the Shell post, the Welcome Center will be handling new orientations in the city. They'll be discreetly escorted to the Center where its staff will assist them, bring them up to speed and get them squared away with everything including maps, funds and console training as needed.

The following people are currently volunteering at the center on a rotating schedule:

Jack Frost | wintershepherd
Zatanna Zatara | backwordscompatible
Sonja | confirmationbias
Sokka | theideaguy

OOC NOTE
While there are PC characters filling the role of guides to the new arrivals, this does not have to be threaded out if the player prefers. Feel free to handwave the entirety of this arrival process as having already happened for your character if that better suits.
