[The fountain is apparently a popular vacation destination for City newbies.

In any case, there is one (1) Jack Vessalius of the beautiful blonde braid perched on the fountain lip, chillin' like a villain (OH SNAP), one gloved hand skimming along the water, back and forth and back and forth, distorting his reflection. It's interesting to have a

You are in the Square - near the fountain. Approximately 0,0 as far as coordinates go, really, if you imagine the City to be in the exact center of this little universe we're in.

But if you're looking for more of a concrete answer - you seem quite fond of concrete - the City is simply called the City. We are here but we do not know why. We are here and somewhere and anywhere. We don't really know.

What an informative- and very pretty, I must add! -young lady. Concrete things are nice, sometimes, but from the sound of it, this City I've stumbled upon isn't concrete at all, is it?

Thank you for sparing the time to tell me so.

[unweighty]

You flatter me - a delicate lady may not handle such compliments well, you know.

[She's not really all that delicate.]

No, not really. Everything you know and knew and will know will be quite different here. I hope you believe in curses. Perhaps a god or three.

[baitswitch]

I do know! Ladies are even prettier when they blush!

[It's on now. :D]

Curses, gods...fire and brimstone? Ferocious beasts? All the makings of a proper fairy tale.

[becomingstrong]

... so you're saying you do get lost then...

[baitswitch]

Of course! When there's so much to see, it can be difficult to focus on where you're headed. By the time you stop and think, it's already too late.

[becomingstrong]

That's stupid... You can look at stuff, but watch where you're going.

[baitswitch]

Maybe, but if you just look, are you really seeing?

[he can feel his heart jump as he hears that tune -- even just the first bar -- and he freezes.

how is jack vessalius here (one of the ones his old family grudge had truly been against), and why does he know his song? had he heard it through oz, or--]

...You're here without Oz Vessalius.

[baitswitch]

[Oh, little Nightray boy. If only you knew.]

The thought had occurred to me, as well. Curiouser and curiouser, isn't it?

lmao god i'm sorry fuck this week

[concitato]

[his initial instinct is to point out that curiouser isn't a damn word, but that isn't really the most important point here, so he bites his tongue for once.]

So you really are aware of everything that's been happening recently, then, aren't you? With the Baskervilles and Isla Yura -- you weren't brought here from your own time, but from Oz's.

FFFF I second those sentiments man

[baitswitch]

[GOOD JOB, ELLIOT. cuz Jack doesn't really care.]

Does that bother you, Elliot?

These gods are very powerful, indeed. They even gave me my body back. I never believed such a thing was possible.
