[Voice]

Hello?

[The voice is that of a teenage girl, cautious but at least trying to show willing in this strange new place. There's a pause, then, as though she hasn't fully figured out what she really wants to say - does she mention where she was supposed to be? Does she mention the Shadows?

Eventually, she finds her voice again.]

Um...this is kind of new to me so I'm not really sure where to start. I got the welcome message and the map and all but...is there anything else I should know?

[That should be broad enough to get something helpful, she hopes.]

[Action - Genessia City]

[Considering she'd been gearing up to head into the deepest depths of Mementos last she remembers, Ann's really not sure what to make of all this. She's in her regular clothes, so wherever she is she's not considered a threat right now at least, but she's not sure whether that should be comforting or worrying.

Still, she's not going to figure anything out by staying in one place so she figures she should at least go to check out where she's supposed to be staying right now. She's aware it could also be a trap, but so long as she goes into it expecting that, maybe it'll lead to some useful information.

At least, that was the plan. It's not that she doesn't know how to follow a map but when a girl stumbles across a mall, she can't be blamed for wanting to take a look around, right? Even if she can't really buy much, just the act of looking should be enough to help calm her down. And once she's done with the mall, she has to see what else is around, right?

And so she can be found looking in various store windows, lingering longer when she spots a cute outfit she can't help but want. The real danger, though, is when she reaches a bakery with a range of desserts that's just begging to be sampled.]

I shouldn't...but just one couldn't hurt, right?

[She's not addressing anyone in particular but that's not to say she goes unheard, either...]

Good plan. Maybe wear a hat or something, too, one of 'em dropped on my head and I wound up body-swapped that way.

Would a hat be good enough in that case? I mean, that's still attached to you, right?

...you know what, fair point, and I'm not actually sure what the answer is.

Maybe let's just hope we never have to find out.

Fair enough, but I think weird stuff is kind of a regular occurrence around here.

Well...okay, but weird doesn't have to mean bad...right?

[She'd be good with nice-weird. That, she'd have no issue with.]

Not necessarily, I guess. I mean, it sounds like the stuff that happens tends to be harmless. Annoying, potentially, but harmless.

Annoying but harmless I think I can deal with. Better than annoying and not harmless, anyway.

Yeah, I think it's just quirky, at worst. Nothing to be terrified of, just something to be aware of when out and about.

Even in Everglade? Because I heard differently about that place.

Admittedly, I don't know that one. I've been holed up in Genessia City and haven't been over there yet.

Oh! Well that makes sense. Just this city is big enough, never mind the other four.

Yeah, and I've only been here a little bit, but I'll probably check it out a bit more once I'm settled in. Can't hurt to have the lay of the land.

That's true. And it's probably better to learn them one at a time otherwise it could probably get pretty confusing.

Yeah, especially since there's so many of 'em. Gotta know which one's which when you're exploring, after all.

Right. That's definitely a good thing to keep in mind.

Yup. At least thank God for the brochures. Those help.

That's true! They're very well prepared for new arrivals, at least.

Yeah, I do gotta give them that, the arrival process is really a tight-run ship, all things considered.

I guess if it's been happening for long enough, they know what kind of things people will need to know when they first get here.

True point. It's nice not to get tossed in blind like a kid getting tossed into the wild.

I've never actually known anyone like that so I'll have to take your word for it.

[Closest she's come is Yusuke, and she's not sure that counts when he had a school dorm to go to.]

I've known a couple, and how well they handle it can really depend on who they run into first and what info that person gives them. So it's helpful to have that much at the start.

I guess that makes sense, if they don't know any better than to just go with whatever they pick up on first.

Yeah, hard to judge who to trust when you're in blind, so you just usually have to go with the first information you get.
