It's really getting cold, isn't it?

I'm still not used to the idea of people other than us being here, but that's who was driving the motorcycle, right? Someone who's actually from Fortuna? Mister Germany told me what happened the last time someone like that came here, and I hope that's not the case this time around.

Why? What happened last time?

[She doesn't want to say too much, because even though he's a country-person and probably used to war he's still a kid.]

A group of people from their land came after the first person did and were very mean to all the residents.

[sceptered_isle]

Did they attack the city?

[piccolo_rico]

[Oh little England, why did you have to ask that?]

...yes.

Rico!?

[Ahh he's been busy and hadn't seen you back! Have a happy foxy, Rico.]

[piccolo_rico]

Hey Tails. [Have a little wave.] Been a while, huh?

[Nods]

It has. I...you went home right?

[He wants to say he's glad to see you but...not in this place.]

Are you alright?

[piccolo_rico]

Yeah. I was gone for about 7 months by Discedo time. It was only an hour for me.

[Aww she actually kinda likes it here so she wouldn't have minded.]

I'm just fine. Giovanni brought me to Gohl so I've been staying there.

[musicboxsoldier]

These "raptors" have appeared in Discedo around the same time as well.

[piccolo_rico]

Ah, that's right. Kinda weird to see something that hasn't existed in my world for thousands of years.

[musicboxsoldier]

Are you aware if they are similar to the raptors currently in the city?

[piccolo_rico]

They sort of are. Recent science points to those of my world having had feathers, but the shape and size are similar.

It was very cold outside, last night.

I don't understand. Are all the people in this city from somewhere else?

Text

[piccolo_rico]

We're from different countries, times, and even planets sometimes. The only people who are natives are the Scientists, Knolton and the man who came in on the motorcycle.

[twinned_clone]

Oh. So besides Earth, there are definitely people here from other planets!! I'd like to meet them.

What are the natives like? This city looks like a human city, mostly.

[piccolo_rico]

A few, yes. You'll have to ask around.

I don't really know. I've never met any of them in person, and they don't talk to us very much. Best to ask someone who's been here more of this year than me.
