Arrival

[She’s gone over the map quite a few times already, but one can still find her just…standing on a sidewalk not far from the magazine stand, arrival items tucked under her arm and a look of disbelief on her face. Her wings are hidden, for now; she’s not sure she’s safe, despite what she’s found out so far and looking almost human has served her well for blending in in the past. She…can’t really stop the slight glow in the sun, but most humans seem to think it’s a trick of the eyes, right?

She is grounded enough to have noticed the number on the key she’s been given, so… if someone happens to walk by, she won’t hesitate to ask,]

Excuse me… I’m so sorry to bother you, but… can you tell me where this room is?

Network
From the (sort of) comfort of her newly found room, she’s able to go over the information a little more thoroughly. Though still extremely disoriented, she thinks she now has enough of a bearing to at least flip through the smart phone and find a way to reach out.

If she’s going to be here, she might as well make some connections and figure out what she’s dealing with.

It’s not long before there’s a video, her face naturally framed and in the best angle and lighting she’s able to come up with…she may have done this a time or two and is more than familiar with a camera.]

Um… hi. Anyone out there want to grab a drink or some lunch and fill me in on…whatever’s going on here?

[Okay, maybe there’s a touch of uncertainty. It almost feels foolish to be playing along with whatever this dream is that she’s walking in-]

I just... showed up, I guess.

Bar
[Later in the evening, Dove can be found perched on a barstool at one of the local bars, finally able to shake most of her original anxiety…sort of.

She’s alone, and still has that newly-kidnapped, mildly troubled look on her face as she absently stirs whatever drink she’s gotten herself.]

Park

[After a few days, the angel’s mood seems to change a little. While there’s definitely much to worry about back home, she’s decided to focus on the task- and world - at hand, and has made a few new friends.

Granted, they’re pokemon, and she’s not entirely sure she’s actually really awake still, but its a much happier surprise, and one she’s much more willing to play with.

She can be found in the park, laughing as her new little swablu bounces through the air, chasing after the little berries her angel is tossing up for them.

There’s a young houndour lounging in the grass not terribly far away near her bag, and a mouse-like creature scurrying around inside of it, should anyone look closely.]

bar!

[wasanangel]

[Someone was working that day, and it was this odd demon girl. It was easy to tell by her ears she was no human, and her mischievous manners was hard to miss. Levi loved the attention at times, and other times, she would blow a frustration of anger. When the regulars would witness that, they fell in love with her more. She didn't quite understand the concept, but the tips were nice.

Then she spotted a young girl, troubled. This were her Priestess side job came, find troubled soul and try to sooth it out. There was a mischievous smile when she placed a drink in front of the newcomer without warning. It was a fruity vodka cocktail with some fruits perched on the side of a glass.]

IM SO EXCITED (Also sorry for her vanity oops)

[phoenixstrut]

[Dove’s troubled look turns into one of slight surprise before a smile brightens her face. She turns honey colored eyes to the bar tending girl, then... glances over her shoulder for a split second-

She’s just used to it enough to forget she’s not in New York before she realizes it and quickly turns back to the girl. She would have told her if it had been from some man nearby right- ]

Thanks! You’ve got killer timing...

LOL it's all good ^-^

[wasanangel]

[Levi be lying if she wasn't enjoying this praise. It was better than her setting something on... more like flooding the place. Who would had thought water could be dangerous.

Levi's ears twitched happily at the thanks. She loved this job. Still, something about this girl felt itchy, like an annoyed bug bite.]

Yeah? Boss's treat for newcomers. Ahh.... You are new, yeah?

[Levi forgot to ask!]

Re: LOL it's all good ^-^

[phoenixstrut]

Oh wow. Is that you?

[Maybe this young woman is the boss? Dove isn't sure of anything around here, really.

She pauses for a moment, feeling her out a bit, as one does upon meeting someone new, but... this one feels a little different.

Then again, a lot of the people she had passed today had 'felt' different. She couldn't be the only one pulled from a world with powers, right? This one felt... almost familiar though...]

That's really awesome. And... yep. Fresh from New York City.

[There's a little shrug and another smile to accompany it as she switches to the new drink. It looks amazing!]

I'm Dove.

[wasanangel]

Naw, just the barmaid doing her job.

[Something was different about this one, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Oh well, suppose she would keep an idea of it, for now.]

New York? Is that the name of your world? Or land?

[The woman walks bare feet! She wouldn't know that Earth.]

Ah- Levi! [Stuttered there.] Yeah, Levi.

[anamnestik]

Good day, miss. I suppose I should start with welcoming you to Genessia?

If you still need someone to fill you in, I'd be happy to be of assistance. My name is Eliot Durant.

[phoenixstrut]

Hi! Thank you, very much. It's nice to meet you, Eliot. I'm Dove.

If you've got time, I'd love to hear your take on this place. It's... a little disorienting. [Laugh.]

[anamnestik]

I would be very happy to assist you, Ms Dove.

Where are you right now? It may be easier to help if we meet in person.

[phoenixstrut]

[Yes, good. Helpful and polite. She likes this Eliot already.]
I really appreciate it!

I’m at the…Commons? I think, that’s what they called it…

[Video]

[liorafae]

[Dove might be surprised at the face that shows up next on her screen - the face of a small, glittering gold dragon.]

I wouldn't mind getting a drink? Or we could have lunch if you don't mind me eating insects...

[She's become painfully aware that humans don't like insects very much...]

[phoenixstrut]

[Yep! Definitely surprised, but there's a bright smile anyway.]

I wouldn't mind at all, if there's someplace with a big enough menu! [she responds cheerfully. She definitely doesn't mind, but she'd prefer to...not eat them herself.]

[liorafae]

Well, um...I don't know how big the menus are, really. I never go into the places where humans eat...

[Except the big gatherings, where they never serve insects, boo.]

[phoenixstrut]

Oh!

[Hm...]

Maybe I could pick something up on the way and meet you at your favorite spot?

[If... she can also get directions, she should be able to manage!]

[Arrival]

[youfool]

[A man dressed not unlike a clown happens to be wandering by when the bothering commences.][He sounds, like usual, very perky. Boy, isn't this strange woman bright? Not that he can complain for anyone being harsh on the eyes, given the way he dresses.]

Certainly. Oh! This looks like a key for The Commons. You're a new arrival, then? We've been getting a flood of those. What's your name?

Re: [Arrival]

[phoenixstrut]

[Admittedly... Dove has seen stranger clothing. Hard not to have when half of the designers in her human world have insisted she fashion their odd tastes in design on more than one occasion.

She gives him a bright smile, one that matches the natural warmth she's giving off.]

I'm Dove, and... yes, unfortunately, [she admits, pushing her hair back with her free hand. It's been a long while since she's felt out of place anywhere she's gone.]

Re: [Arrival]

[youfool]

[Ted feels out of place all the time, so she's in good company.]

Ahah, finally, an easy name! Well, I wouldn't be so sure of your felicity. Some finding very fecund fortunes indeed here. Would you like me to escort you there? I'm afraid they aren't the most fortunate living spaces, but then again I've heard next to no complaints. Indeed, most are sorer to be put out than let in, haha!

Re: [Arrival]

[phoenixstrut]

[…Well then. So formal! She can’t deny that she’s suddenly wondering what time period he’s from, or if whatever world he’s been taken from is just that different, but she’s also extremely pleased to have come across someone so gentlemanly.]

That would be wonderful, [she admits, clearly relieved.] What is your name?

Bar

[unbridledtiger]

Hey,

[Seth steps up next to the woman with a tumbler of whiskey held lightly between his fingers. His eyes are a pale golden hue while his hair is completely white. Despite that, he looks like he's somewhere in his mid-twenties and very bored.]

I saw you over the devices earlier. Couldn't reply then sine I was working, you find everything okay?

[He raises his glass to his lips before placing it down on the bar top with a soft click of glass.]

[phoenixstrut]

[It takes her a second to realize that she's being spoken to, fascinated as she seems to be by the contents of her drink, but she looks up the moment she realizes it.]

Oh, don't worry about it. I... think I've...sort of figured most of it out. [She makes a face, and gives a half shrug as she picks up her drink and turns properly on her barstool to face him. From her posture, she's clearly used to being approached in similar atmospheres, but she's not sure she's every seen anyone (aside from herself and her family) with golden hued eyes.]

The...pamphlet thing was... pretty informative, I guess.

[That, and the few interesting characters she had run into earlier in the day.]

I'm Dove.

[unbridledtiger]

They do like pamphlet's here. [He agrees as he raises his drink to his lips. Whiskey rolls across his tongue as his gaze lazily inspect the woman sitting next to him. She seems calm enough.]

I'm Seth.

[He flashes her a brief smile before taking a second sip of his drink and then placing the glass on the counter.]

Of course, if you have questions I'm at your service but I could also offer to buy you a drink as a welcome to the city. [Seth's rather chill about his situation though he's also been in the city for a while.] If you're interested.

[phoenixstrut]

[It's enough to get a soft half laugh from her. It did seem odd to be just...handed a pamphlet explaining the new world she had been kidnapped into, but it had been effective.

She almost notices that he's studying her, but then... they are at a bar, and he certainly looks about her age. She's unshaken, and not surprised. She does take the opportunity to study him as well, though. The gold eyes were enough to get her attention, but... something about him feels a little more... raw? Maybe? She can't place it, though she's suddenly reminded of her phoenix back home for some reason.

She tilts her head at the offering of his name and watches him set down his glass, calm as can be. That one does actually pull a laugh from her.] I wouldn't even know where to start with questions, but I'll gladly accept a another drink.

[nojusticeonlyme]

I MAY BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE. IS THERE SOMEWHERE IN PARTICULAR YOU'D LIKE TO DINE AT?

Re: [Video] [Response to network prompt]

[phoenixstrut]

[She...just about drops her phone. What on earth...?!]

Oh... I don't know. I only just arrived, but I figure I should at least see what's hear....

[nojusticeonlyme]

HMMM... IS YOUR BODY CHEMISTRY SIMILAR TO A HUMAN’S? I FEEL THAT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT CERTAIN SUBSTANCES WOULD BE APPETIZING OR POISONOUS TO YOU WILL HELP NARROW DOWN OUR CHOICES.

[Of course, it’d help if he knew for certain what she was, but all he can tell from just the device is that she looks and sounds human, but isn’t. Given how many species fit that exact description, knowing what she isn’t doesn’t help much.]

[phoenixstrut]

[She's... talking to a skeleton. What?!]

Very similar, though... I'd prefer as organic as possible.

[She thinks. What even is 'organic' in this world?]
