Sooo I am guessing that popping up in this place is the norm here, right? So are the freebies, which are really nice of these guys to offer. I'm guessing that this isn't earth though, so I can't exactly IM a location.

Not that I have my phone with me. [Oh boy. Hopefully dad won't freak... or the guys... or--- yeah okay, hopefully no one notices. On the plus side, not the Reach. On the down side, not Earth either.]

Anyway, little warning for the guys I'm sharing a place with. Hi, I'm Traci, if you find a strange girl coming into your home, don't be weirded out okay? I swear I come in peace. I have a peace offering too!

But wow, this place is a lot different from where I've been. I even saw a feathered cow on the way. [Wait, hold on, getting derailed.] I-- oookay, I had a reason to chat on this thing. So hi again, nice to meet you all. Any chance a lovely person out there would be willing to give me a second tour of the place? And maybe a history lesson, since I think I got the basics down, but I'm most likely missing a ton of things I need to know.

That's about it, I think. Thanks for any help I could get.

You shouldn't start shopping your first day except for food and clothes. [ And with the turtle still not doing well, food is less of a shopping expenditure. ]

But there's plenty of places to window shop.

[urbanmagic]

I didn't mean now, but thanks for the tip. [Window shopping ain't a bad idea though.]

Clothes sound good though. Or at least, something else other than the ones on my back.

[notdreaming]

You'll have to go to Earth Sector for the best clothes. That's where most of the seamstresses are. [ She would take you now but you don't want to fly with her :c ]

[urbanmagic]

How far is the Earth sector from here, exactly? [Not that she can't magic clothes on, but given the limited rations-- rather not use magic on the mundane until she can figure out how to increase that.]

[notdreaming]

A few miles. Probably a couple of hour's walk for an ordinary human.

[urbanmagic]

Wow, you guys made it sound a lot closer than I thought it would be. I was expecting less than an hour.

[notdreaming]

It's a very big turtle.

[urbanmagic]

I'll have to make sure to save up for a visit then.

How long did you say you've been on this turtle?

[notdreaming]

It's been around six months now.

[urbanmagic]

From the sounds of it, I take it you like it here though, right?

[notdreaming]

I do. Everyone's been very kind to me since I arrived here. [ As compared to her experience on Earth, being attacked once a day at least. ]

[urbanmagic]

I did notice people seem a lot more open to the supernatural here, or at least the kedan were. The environment certainly is different from Earth's.

[notdreaming]

It's different, I suppose, when they're expecting strange things to happen.

[urbanmagic]

I'd say strange is putting it lightly. Even back on Earth, people appearing from different worlds is not normal.

[notdreaming]

That's what I meant. It's strange when someone comes from a different world, but here they welcome us. On Earth I was attacked. Repeatedly.

[urbanmagic]

Yeah, humans are... susceptible to attacking first, accepting later kind of thing. Not every one of us are like that, I assure you. [Just the guys with the guns.]

[notdreaming]

So I've learned from being here. It sort of colored my experience of Earth, though.

[urbanmagic]

Earth's got a long way to go, I don't blame you. A lot of people never seem to get rid of the giant veil before their eyes. [Hi dad, sup.]
