[Weeeell, that had certainly been interesting. Waking up somewhere new by no fault of her own this time and she'd sort of skimmed the information given before being utterly entranced by the hologram and the information given to her. That... was a lot to take in, but at least this place doesn't appear to be openly hostile, so she'll just assume that'd for the best right now.

Though she's moving away from the stand fairly quickly, poking at the directions for the phone before finding the video settings. Just... don't be surprised to see someone's face so close to the screen before she's backing off just a little bit.]

Ohhh! That's neat! [Just going to set that up a little bit on a nearby object to use as a stand so that her full self can be seen properly. Good.]

Wow, this is quite a place, I have to say! These buildings are so big and they aren't, like, castles or anything! And there's so many humans, it's really weird. Not paying any attention to me or anything, which is even doubly weird!

But, um. I'm not... quite sure where to go from here, might just wander around or something. Not that I can really make heads or tails of how this place is set up. I can read maps, sure, but some of these shapes and names I'm not even familiar with, you know?

[She's pursing her lips for just a moment, tail swaying slowly behind her.] But wandering by myself just seems so boriiiiiiing! Maybe I'll make a game out of it! ... But how to do that...

[Anyone remotely familiar with her and/or kitsune probably knows anything related to a game is going to be a bad idea.]

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears~

Yeah! Like whiskey or sake or rum...or whatever. But we'll see if you can. [tilts the camera to show him and the sky and some rooftops]

Come find me.

Mmm. Can't say I've really had those before... [She's seen them, certainly, but actually drinking them? Nah. Though she's trying to find anything at all to indicate where he is, lips pursed for a moment or two.]

Aaaah, this would be so much easier with scent... [That was more to herself than anything, but she's quickly on the move, just having that camera feed bounce along with her. Good grief.]

Don't you move, then! That'd be cheating!

Nah I won't move. [settles where he is, legs dangling over the side] I can tell you what I smell like unless you want a challenge.

Telling me isn't going to do me any good when humans have such terrible noses to begin with! [That was kind of rude, Selkie.]

This place is so big... [Though she does remember hearing about other cities, right. Maybe... she should make sure which one he's in.]

Which city are you in, at least, otherwise this might be a lost effort entirely...

Who says? [folds his arms] I was going to say something cool too! Geeze. And I can tell you what city if you don't think you're good enough....

[it's a definite challenge]

Anyone that has any sense! Kitsune have vaaaaaastly superior senses compared to humans, that's just a fact. [The rudest without actually meaning to be. But that comment about not being good enough has her bristling.]

I'm more than good enough! Just you wait! [There is no way in hell she's going to complete this quest in any good time.]

Show off. I'll believe your vaaastly superior senses when you find me. [humph!] What else can you do?

It's not my fault that you're a human, now is it?~ [Though that question causes her to momentarily pause, hmm.]

Umm. Guess that depends on what you mean. I mean, I can switch to being an actual fox, though like demonic or something, I guess. Easiest way to fight.

Guess not. [he grins] You can? That's awesome! Is it because you ate something weird? Show me!

[Because of something she ate?]

... What? No, it's just something we can all do! And I'll show you once I find you, promise! [She's still holding onto that small thread of hope of being able to find him.]

Okay... [he hopes she does but he won't underestimate her strength by telling her where. He shifts to flop upside down so most of his back and head are hanging off the roof, hat held on by his chin.]

Hope you get here sometime before next week.

[She's huffing loudly at that, not appreciating him saying as such. Ruuuuude.]

Don't be rude!

[Though she's hopping up from a few buildings, seeing something hanging over the side of a nearby building. Hmmm. Once she's landing on the top of the building she's getting down on her hands and knees to scoot closer to him, hoping he hadn't noticed her yet.

Hope you don't mind a sudden kitsune grabbing for your legs there, Ace.]

Found you!

Woah shit! [flails and nearly falls off the roof. He sits up, staring at her wild eyed for a second before grinning widely and going in for a noogie]

Great job, Foxy Lady!

[She's giggling at his flailing, though she's glad he didn't fall off the roof at least. Though she's sitting back on her rear until he's grabbing her for a noogie, immediately squealing and flailing back in return.]

Nooo, stop that! [If she wanted him to actually stop, she could probably make him. But nah, this is just good fun as far as she's concerned.]

I told you that this was child's play!

[he laughs. She's adorable]

Ace by the way. Portgas D. [he stands and gives her a hand] It looks like I owe you one.

[Adorable is generally not the word she gets for herself, but just don't tell her that to her face. Mostly.

Once he's stopped she's fixing her hair and fur, pouting before pushing herself back up to stand, looking at that hand for a moment. What is he even...]

Selkie, nice to meet you. But what are you doing with your hand?

I was going to help you up. [tweaks her ear affectionately] Let's go... I know a great bar..

Oh... but wait.... [gives her an evil grin] Do you want to go the boring way or the fun way?

Ohhh. No need, I can manage just fine! [Quickly swatting at his hand, no touching the ears!] Can't say I've been to a bar before...

[Ace, Ace why would you do this. Because you gave her a choice and given her tail is immediately wagging like ninety miles a minute, that should tell him enough.]

Fun way, of course!

You'll love it.

[it does tell him enough. Cuuuute. He grins and goes to where his skateboard is set against the wall. It looks regular enough except for being a bit on the long side and with a metal fin like exhaust port sticking up at the back.]

Get on the front! Do you have good balance or do you need a hand?

I hope so~

[Oh, that is certainly an interesting looking device. Give her a moment to try and make heads or tails of it before he's speaking. Right, right, get on this... thing.]

I think my balance should be good... [She hopes. Though she'll move to the front of it, having to get her balance before she seems particularly sturdy on it. It'd be easier if she were on four paws instead of two legs, but she'll make do.]

[Ace sets up a ramp on the roof edge the furthest away from them and gets behind her.]

Okay. Hang on.

[he kicks off and speeds as fast as he can toward the ramp and then slams his heel down on the end, fire racing down his shin and foot to feed the exhaust pipes as they grow roaring into the air on an arc, fast enough to blow his hat off]

WOOHOO!
