Where the...? No, I definitely took the wrong turn somewhere, I...

But this isn't any part of Tokyo that I know of! It doesn't even feel like it! How on earth did I-?? ...hey, that carousel thing's creeping me out for some reason. Better ask someone for directions before it gets later.

That's new - somebody walking in offering help.

Welcome to the City. I'm afraid it has just taken you from your world and you're pretty much trapped here.

[soulofocean]

Ack! So this thing DOES work...

[soulofocean]

Um... Hi! So this really IS another world dragging people out of their own? Jeez, I can't believe it happened again...

[revengeisalie]

Hello! And yes, it is. ... if you're familiar with something like this happening, that may help things a bit.

I'm Rin, by the way, and this is the City Guide.

[soulofocean]

Oh... great! I could use a guidebook of this place! Think I've been walking in circles for hours now...

Thanks, Rin! I'm Umi! A-and I really think I got no clue about what's going on here.

[revengeisalie]

Nice to meet you! I think the guide will clear some things up.

[soulofocean]

I'm looking at it right now! It's- I don't get half the stuff it says. But that's sure because I'm still kinda dazed from getting lost.

[revengeisalie]

I know it's a lot to take in, and most things may not sink in for a while.

[soulofocean]

Yeah... I should be used to this by now, you know? But it caught me a little off guard again.

[revengeisalie]

Sounds like things like this happen to you often.

[soulofocean]

Just once, but trust me: it was tough enough to count for many.

[revengeisalie]

Having lived through it once, thanks to the City, I know what you mean.

[soulofocean]

At least back then we got told what we had to do to go back home right away. I'm not sure if there's something these deities here want us to do so we can check out of this mess.

[revengeisalie]

If there is, no one's told anyone about it. People seem to come and go entirely at random.

[soulofocean]

At least the place doesn't look freaky. It could be a city from my world, far as I can tell....

Where do people stay while stuck here? Is there a hotel or whatever?

[revengeisalie]

Really? So you're probably from a place that has a year close to 2009...

There are twelve buildings with apartments in them. You can take one of those. I've also heard there's other places where people can stay.
