I can provide information on that subject if that is your desire.

Blitza Airflyer, I offer you my expertise as a guide to you upon your arrival into the city.

For a small fee I will explain to you the locations of several points of interest as well as some of the more prominent citizens.

[young_once]

I'm -- afraid that I do not have any money.

[merchantboom]

You needn't worry sir, I can assure you that such formalities can be discussed in length over a drink or a meal at one of the local diners. I often find that new arrivals are lacking in proper coinage and offer them instead my services against a promise for their services in the future.

[young_once]

And what sort of services would one such as yourself require from someone like me?

[sereneous]

You were in a crocodile's stomach? How awful!

[young_once]

I could not have described it better myself, Miss, but it would not be good form of me to disclose such grisly details to a lady.

[sereneous]

I hope you have better luck here.

If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask, sir.

[young_once]

I shall remember not to hesitate as manners will permit me, Miss.

Might I have the pleasure of your name?

The letters aren't in order because on the earliest form of the invention, the keys would stick, because people got too fast at typing. So they rearranged the letters to put the most-used ones in awkward places.

There is a voice function you can turn on, though.

...belly of a croc?

[young_once]

Yes. Very unpleasant experience; I don't recommend it.

[i_themagician]

You're in the City!

Also, that was a curse. I think that the gods might be responsible for those.

[young_once]

Curse?

Gods?

[i_themagician]

Yes.

And yes.

I'm afraid I can't explain it very well, myself, other than to say that it's apparently what they consider entertainment. They are entirely too frequent, but usually not quite that bad.

I do hope you're feeling better, at least.

[young_once]

Better from what? My feet are on land now, yes, but I'm still not at all certain if that is better.
