Hey Ame!

1. Some of the easiest plants for Shinobu to get a hold of would be plants that are generally grown for food, but have poisonous or medicinal components. For example, raw nutmeg can induce hallucinogenic effects, and cassava can contain cyanide. She'll also be able to find other common plants, such as monkshood and nightshade. We're fine with you doing some of your own research on this and deciding what plants and insects Shinobu would or wouldn't be familiar with!

2. We don't really police jobs for characters in terms of age! The best way for Shinobu to manage this would be to start at the ground floor, so to speak, and work her way up through taking online classes and gaining certifications. Essentially, she'd likely start in a position much like a CNA or a pharmacy tech and then need to pursue further education from that point. Unfortunately, there's no real way to rush the process of becoming a nurse or a pharmacist—much like in our world, they're professions with a lot of responsibility and thus require a lot of education. However, sometimes events or plots will allow for characters to speed up their career growth, and we'll usually make a point of that if it comes up!

3. As for the welcome group, that's something we'd leave up to player organization and be pretty hands off with! Essentially, the main thing is that the players involved would need to figure out a way to maintain the group/system from arrival log to arrival log, even if some of the characters involved drop. One of the easiest options here might be to tie it to Red Wings in some way, as the bar has become a sort of unofficial headquarters for the Displaced.

Since we'd like a group like this to be open to the playerbase at large, Shinobu would have to make a network post discussing it! Once that's done and the details are hashed out, come back to us with a plan and we'll help facilitate from there, including adding it to future arrival logs.

As for the compulsion drug, you're right that they'll need Jimmy's involvement in that. Gene, Nate, Jyn, Stephen and Jason are all options for her to reach out to about Jimmy/the drug itself. That line of contact to Jimmy will open up in February!
