Welp, this is... something, isn't it? [She's not even surprised anymore considering her life has been quite... random in the past few weeks. And while Max appreciated the few days of calm that followed certain events, she desperately needed a break to mend her emotional wounds, she suspected  the crazy stuff would never end. At least for once it doesn't seem like her powers to alter time and travel through her own piceturs but... ] This is Maxine Caulfield, I am from Arcadia Bay, Oregon, United States... Earth. Does anyone recognize those names?
I already visited the informative stand at the entrance of the bay but... is this place, world, only really formed by five cities? [Attleon seems a pleasant place to live in, at least according to the brochures but she's still taking it in. One day is just having eggs and bacon in her favorite diner and the next thing she remembers is waking up in that weird place. At least she got to keep her camera, that's something. In the meanwhile pardon her while she hoards the brouchures, you never know when you may need an important telephone number or information.]

[ Lucy's life is FULL of random and crazy. Mostly because her partner was random and crazy. Though he'd probably accuse her of the same, she'd insist she was the most normal one in the guild back home, darnit. But that was neither here nor there. There's a pretty blonde smiling hesitantly back into the feed to welcome you, Max. ]

Hi Maxine - my name is Lucy; Lucy Heartfilia. Sorry to say I'm not familiar with any of those names - where I'm from the world is called EarthLAND, not Earth. But I'm sure there are some people here who might be from Earth, even if it isn't the same place you're from.

As for you other question - yes, there are only five cities -- as far as we're aware at least. There's a barrier that prevents us from going outside the realm of those cities, but - trust me, yoooou... don't want to be going out there anyway.

[ She's seen Stuff, man. And Things(tm). ]

[Well, at least she seems like another human, that's already a good thing considering she already saw strange creatures walk around. Max turns on the video function of her device and offers an insecure smile back

Hi Lucy, you can call me Max. [She listen and nods, trying to take everything in. From an hologram it still felt a bit... unreal, fake, but hearing this from another person? Wow...] This is a lot to take in, isn't it? Have you... how long have you been here? It sounds like you're familiar with this place... Genessia, isn't it?

[ Lucy rubbed her face a little, still tired from the past week's shenanigans. But it would be rude to yawn in a newcomer's face - she smiled a little bit more at the response. ]

Okay then, Max. [ She paused at the question. ]

Genessia... well I don't live in -this- city; I live in Fayren, actually. But I've been in this world, oh...three months? But apparently I've been here before, was sent home, and then pulled back again. I don't remember anything about being here before - but this is probably the third time I've been yanked to another world like this.

I feel like a yo-yo.

I recognize the country and state, but not that city. Hello, fellow American! And yes, just five cities and whatever else lies beyond, though I don't recommend going so far. There's also rumors of a door to another mysterious locale that will reveal itself eventually: Wingate field, I think?

[are_you_cereal]

Hello... fellow american. You've been around here for a while, then? Darn, I still... wow. This is one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me and I was pretty sure I covered my 'weird' quote for the month. Year. Probably life.

[youfool]

"Heh, yes, a good while. My anniversary unofficially passed last month, actually, though I didn't get any presents. It's not, on the whole, a place that indulges much in celebration.

And let me assure you, your dosage of 'weird' is about to go up very significantly. It's usually not a bad thing. But if it gets to be too much, you can always find refuge in myself. I'm an oasis of sanity in this madhouse."

Oh aye, indeed: the town you mention is not familiar to me, but-- the state of Oregon in the United States, rather is, at least... [There's a soft, hoarse voice with a clearly muddled Welsh/English accent, as well as... something else? German, perhaps? French??] I mean: I have not been to Oregon, of course-- only-- Massachusetts, and Louisiana, too...

Sorry, that's quite aside from the point! Anyhow, I do think that there are only five cities in this bloody world, but-- well. They are fairly large cities, after all...

Re: Audio:

[are_you_cereal]

Another american, great. It somehow makes me feel a bit better, knowing there are people from my world. [She is now traveling around, not really sure where to go yet. The day before she was taking photography lessons, now she's... in Genessia. Wow.]

This is fucking insane, I can't picture a world so small, not even trying, but... I've been told there's an 'outside', it's just too dangerous. And I don't really feel like pushing my luck.

Audio: [[PS: SORRY THIS IS SO DAMNED LATE! D=]]

[aphotic_auror]

[A small, soft laugh comes over the audio feed.] Oh no.... I'm sorry; I didn't mean to give such a wrong impression; I'm not American, I'm British, in fact. I mean, I have visited Massachusetts and New Orleans, but.... For business, you understand, NOT pleasure!

Anyway, I think that there may be something outside the five cities, but-- well. I dunno what it could be, that we could possibly want at any rate....

[ Having just arrived recently himself, Rick knows a thing or two about being weirded out by it all. He might be old, but he's an okay guy, alright? ]

I know Oregon, and the US. I haven't checked out the whole place yet, though. [ He nods. ] Rick Martinez. Nice to meet you, Max.

Re: ( video )

[are_you_cereal]

Hi Rick [She switch the video on because, heck, if you're showing your face she should probably do the same... right? After all she knows how to keep herself safe, in case. </small] Nice to meet you too. So... how is living here?

( video )

[headmovies]

Honestly? So far, it's not so bad. What color's your necklace, sweetie?

[He keeps that friendly smile, because honestly, Rick's just a friendly guy.]

[Belle can't really say she knows much about the United States except through maps from books that she probably has read, but she knew enough to recognize a bit of it or two.]

I do recognize Oregon, United States and Earth, but I can't say I have ever been there. [As most of the time they can't seem to pass the line for one reason or another even if deep down she would really look to explore it and have an adventure.]

As for the cities, yes there are only five, but they offer a unique atmosphere as they are all vastly different to one another. Like... if you enjoy the spooky things then Everglade is your best bet to go to. But I'm sure the other very nice people have already told you this, right?

Re: voice;

[are_you_cereal]

It's okay, the world is way bigger than America alone, I'm not surprised to meet people who've never been there before.

I'd... avoid spooky things, I think I'd rather find a nice and relaxing place. Honestly? Of all place Attleton seems the... best one, maybe? I don't even know, I should see if there's any photography studio that's hiring in that area. And, yes- I almost freaked out but so far everyone seems... really nice.

[She doesn't trust people too much for reasons but so far no one gave her chills]

voice;

[namemeansbeauty]

That one and Genessia seem to be the most... I guess normal to most people.

[Since she worked in Genessia she lived there as well, but she figured if she had to move there were two choices she could make in that regard.]

Photography studio... I don't think I've seen anything like that here. But it doesn't mean that you can't open one yourself.

[Nagisa appears with a small smile. He was going to try his best at being friendly without being over bearing, at least for now anyway.]

Isn't that informative hologram rather neat?

[He didn't really answer the question she said, but he figured others before him had already said one thing or another, so he didn't need to say the same thing again.]

Makes you wonder how it's done, doesn't it?

[are_you_cereal]

[Max changes her options from audio only to Video, if others are showing their faces she's going to do the same.]

It really is. I've never seen anything like this back home. Or, well, I've never seen anyhing similar myself.

Video;

[strawberrypenguin]

Same here, so it surprised me when I first arrived.

[That type of thing could only be found in science fiction.]

Shows just what this place is like. It's kind of nerving, isn't it?

voice;

[eighthchild]

I have never been to America myself, but I have heard of the country.

[Though she doesn't of course learn much about it where she was from. Never the less she figured she might as well be polite while she can.]

Nice to speak to you anyway, my name is Hikari and just like you I found myself here... Though for me it was quite a while back.

Re: voice;

[are_you_cereal]

I see. Well, not all people on the planet live in America, quite the contrary.
Even if we teng only to see ourselves on the map sometimes...

Nice to meet you, Hikari. [Gee, she sounds so young] how is living here for you?

voice;

[eighthchild]

Living here is fine. I've been around for close to a year now and I've at least managed to live and work by myself.

[Though she does believe she can get help if she needed it at least.]

It's interesting to see this place the longer you stay.

[rulerofme]

I'm from Earth too, and I know of all of those places. Though something tells me we might be from different Earths.

Do the Avengers or the X-Men mean anything to you?

[are_you_cereal]

Uh, nothing, sorry. But the X-men thing sounds like it could be from a comic or a tv-show...

Oh, wait, that was X factor, sorry, I'm not too fond of talent shows.

[livable]

I'm not familiar with every city in Oregon, but I'm from just a little further north. Olivia Moore from Seattle.

[are_you_cereal]

Really? Because I used to live in Seattle, that's where I start to study photography!
And, well, nice to meet you, Olivia!
