Newcomers were always welcomed with a sort of preternartural level of calm. Disconcerting as it could be for some, the Guardians understood that the people who came to Nouveau were where they were supposed to be. Said Guardians watched over the town, standing vigilant in their hoods and masks as they surveyed the comings and goings of all. Not only did they ensure the safe - and heavily curated - entrance of all people, but they watched their goings as well. They knew who were and weren't there, and who should and shouldn't belong.
Alongside this, the Gates that were protected by those Guardians separated what was essentially regular space from the supernatural. These entrances and exits popped you out to a location somewhere relative to where you needed to be. If you had something to do in Seattle, you'd be transported to where a Gate opened there - getting the rest of the way to your destination was your own job from then on. There weren't usually more than two Gates in smaller cities, with some towns not having a single one, but larger cities invariably did, and usually had around four or more depending on the size of the location.
These made things safe and convenient for the people of Nouveau. Beyond the Guardians and dimensional shenanigans, the town was rich, post-modern, and bustling with activity. Anything you would find in a normal city, you would find here and more. People had lives to live, jobs to do, things to run. Those people just also happened to be supernaturally-inclined; demigods, humans, and creatures of various kinds made this place their home.
There was a rather lucky set of quaint apartments that didn't cost much despite their relative beauty. Situated right in front of a nice cafe and library right across the street, it was a convenient place to live. It didn't have the amenities and boisterousness of the downtown area, but it worked for those who needed the things it provided. The apartments were beautiful, and held enough space around to have a number of people reside there.

Lana had woken up at her usual time of around 7AM. She forced herself to get a normal sleeping schedule following her entering college. Since she went out of the community to go to school, like most others, she had gotten used to dealing with a crappy sleep schedule as the nearest Gate was some 26 miles away from her school in the mortal city of Chicago. It'd take her some time to navigate through the city to her destination, especially considering the traffic on the I-90. But, she had time, so she decided to just stay put and look over her work on her laptop.
She had made a pot of coffee, making to drink it while she brushed her hair.
Everything would've been tranquil if there weren't people outside causing a commotion. "What in the shite..." Lana looked out of her window, and spied three males outside hollering. At 8AM. What the fuck? "Oi, keep it down, ya fucks!" She yelled out of the window. That seemed to get their attention, and they made to start hurling insults at the redhead. She paid it no mind, closing the window and shaking her head. Idiots will be idiots, after all. The Guardians would catch up to them if they pulled anything, after all.
(OOC: Everybody should either live into one of the apartments or have just moved in today or the night before. Beyond that, try to find some interaction, feel free to explore things, react to the bullshit going on outside, etc.)
