Ah, yes. I believe a very kind man has been putting up flyers all over the city. I've never heard of entire locations appearing and disappearing, it sounds rather wondrous.
... I've also heard it's much cooler out there. Perhaps a visit is in order.
[ She says 'wondrous', he says 'suspicious'. But he's not going to pop her nice bubble so quickly. ]
It certainly is impressive, isn't it? The laborers in Fontaine are hard-working but even they can't get whole locations to appear overnight. Are you interested in going? Don't have any work you'd be missing?
[ Oh. Guess who has literally never had a job in her life, thus not realizing that this is something she had to think about. But fortunately...! ]
We were told to return in a few days time, once the temperatures drop for safer working conditions. Now that you mention it, there may be no better time than the present. How about yourself? Will you be making plans to visit?
I'd certainly like to. It seems like an interesting place to visit, and the more we learn about this place the better. How's that car of yours holding up, by the way?
Oh. [ Right. About that. ] I got a flat tire on the way into the city... Though I was fortunate enough to receive some help in replacing it. Since then, it has been functioning without issue. I hope your bike has been serving you well.
That was fast. Though I suppose given how much debt we're supposed to be paying off, we aren't exactly getting top of the line vehicles. My bike is doing alright, though sometimes it takes awhile to start up in the morning. I'm a little worried it won't start at all one of these days.
I suppose not, seeing as many of the vehicles at the lot were prone to malfunctioning... [ Though that also helped them meet! So maybe it's not all bad ( it's pretty bad ). ]
Perhaps someone would be willing to repair it? It would be terrible if it really were to never start again.
[ No!!! He can't end up buried yet he hasn't given her a nickname :( ]
I'm afraid not. I never got a phone number from the man who was kind enough to repair my vehicle, or I would ask him... Though if there are people like him, I would hazard a guess to say that there are many others who would be kind enough to do it without requiring payment. [ That said in a few days she's going to meet Scott Summers who offered her help in repairing her car so. Soon, Wriothesley. Soon. ]
[ please let me handwave that she passed his name along so i can stretch my tentacles onto your cr, thank you ]
You're very right. Humanity can often be a lot kinder than the history books say. And who knows, maybe I'll bump into him myself one of these days. Met any other nice folks in the city?
His name is Logan. He has brown hair and a beard. While he was not much for words, he ensured I would be able to reach the city without any more mishaps.
That said, most I have had the opportunity to speak with were very kind and forthcoming. [ This is also because she has no standards as long as they didn't attack her. ] Some informed me that they arrived with allies from their realm. I hadn't realized that was a possibility.

Is that so? I hope it was a happy reunion. [ Tone's hard to read through text, but this is — just like the rest of her — as genuine as can be. ] It must have been quite a surprise.
Her name's Arlecchino. She may look scary but she's a reliable person. I'm sure you have plenty of other options, but if you can't reach me she'd be able to help you.
Still, I can imagine it's reassuring to have a familiar face with you.
Oh, if it's not too much trouble... would you mind sending my phone number to her? I have yet to see her again since acquiring it. [ Probably because there's like, a million people in the city. ]
Fair enough. I wouldn't wany any of my friends to be suddenly whisked away either. Though if something like this could happen to us, do you think there are other places out there where this is also happening?
Now that you mention it, that could very much be the case. And there would be no way for us to know for certain, as there's no guarantee they have ever returned to tell the tale...
Have you ever heard of such a thing? Missing individuals who had suddenly returned home, speaking of other worlds? [ She learned about sending two texts to complete one coherent thought from Marc, but she also doesn't type fast enough for all of this to come back to back. Sorry. ]
Not specifically, but I have heard of individuals who come from other worlds entirely. Similar root cause, different method perhaps? I wish I could say more but I'm not much of an expert in this kind of thing.
I suppose if we had access to the wealth of information, we would not be in this situation to begin with. I'll be sure to inform you if I do hear anything on the subject.

Kind of hard when the cooling equipment where I'm staying is broken.

If it'll help you believe, I also arrived with someone I knew already.

I hadn't realized you two were both from the same place. The world is truly much smaller than it seems...
[ Please don't ask how they met otherwise Lucina got a flat twice on the way into Panorama and that's too sad even for me ]
no subject
The world really is a pretty small place then.
[ i love you too much to make you suffer like that. ]
Then you don't need me to tell you about her further.
We're from the same place but we ran in different circles for the most part.
