[It had taken dear William quite a bit to figure out how to actually work the communicator. Attempting to decipher words that he had never heard of was quite the task but eventually, with a bit of poking about, he managed to turn on the video function.

He blinks a bit and taps the screen, chewing the inside of his lip before finally speaking.]

My name is Will Turner...I suppose all of you have awakened in the same manner that I did, so I'll not articulate that surprise.

I do wish to know where I may find some accommodations beyond those assigned to me.

[Work would come later, he knew. He was a master blacksmith and now had skills for seafaring and repairing ships. There had to be something he could possibly do.]

Well, there's plenty of places to stay. The trick would be finding one you could afford with the bit of money you start out with.

[He thinks a moment.]

There's a couple motels here in Genessia you could stay at. Though if you're looking for something a bit more permanent, you might want to try the Stone Ridge apartment building on Dogwood and 16th. It's pretty basic, but still better than the rooms they start you out with.

Re: [video]

[captainwhelp]

Then an honest living must take priority?

[Oh, street names. He listens carefully and nods.]

Yes, as much as I am not a fan of utilizing a stipend so quickly, it may become needed. The rooms are fine for now, but I would much rather be prepared come the end of the month.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea nodded.]

Or a dishonest one, if that's your thing, though as a Deputy Guardian, I can't really encourage that.

Good thing is, jobs are pretty easy to come by around here, so you shouldn't have a problem finding something. There's even an Employment Center that can help you find something that suits you. It's marked on the map of Genessia City you'll find on the rack on your way out of the Bay.

There should be a booth not too far from you that has written information, as well as a map to the public housing for newcomers.

I would suggest taking a few minutes to try and get your feet under you, however. Arriving here, I've found, is... is rather jarring at first.

Re: video

[captainwhelp]

The map may prove more useful...

[And Will is now going to take a moment to simply stare. He recognizes those features so very well, but they seem to be fitted a bit wrong.]

Jarring is a fitting term. Ah...may I ask, what is your name?

Re: video

[empiricalmagic]

I'd suggest reading the other information as well, if only to familiarize yourself with the area.

Ichabod Crane. I apologize that you found yourself here, Mister Turner. I hope that you find your first few hours here less tumultuous than mine were.

[Well, Norrington was quite surprised to see a familiar face appear on screen. To a degree he was relieved it wasn't a certain pirate...but he also had his faults with this one. He kept his facial expression neutral and spoke in a calm tone.]

Turner. I have to say it's a surprise to see you here. I had come to expect that I wouldn't see anyone from our world here.

Before I provide you information, I need to know the last thing that was going on before you awoke here.

[Norrington wasn't about to reveal information, not until he knew where Turner stood in things. He knew that everyone had their own agendas to worry about and that meant breaking old alliances and forming new ones. He had done the same thing and knew that he was going to be judged for that. Yet, he didn't care what Will thought on that matter considering all the actions he had done in the past.]

Re: [Video]

[captainwhelp]

[Will's eyes go impossibly wide and he leans forward. There...was absolutely no possible way. Well. There was but then, how that way was achieved.]

Admiral Norrington?! How is it that you're here?

[Because alive seemed a bit rude even for Will's attitude at the moment.]

What I last remember? Standing on a sandbar with Elizabeth, Jack, Barbossa, Jones and Beckett.

[He says the last name with a bit of an edge, now that there was no need to keep up appearances, he wasn't going to.]

[Video]

[chooseaside]

[Judging by Will's reactions it gave Norrington some idea of what was in store of his fate. He gave a wary sigh, accepting things for as they are.]

So, it would seem. It's safe to say that alot has transpired from what I last remembered. I am just glad to learn that Elizabeth and her crew were able to get back to the ship. I only hope that you had made a wiser decision then I had done.

Where are you currently located? It would be easier to hold this conversation in person.

[guitar_hero]

You know, I had an aunt that looked like you. Bit more of a goatee though. [complete non-sequitur is, on occasion, what the Doctor do] Even if surprise isn't articulated its surprising you're being so blase. Not your first trip into another world or are you just the strong and stoic type?

Re: video

[captainwhelp]

A woman...with a goatee?

[If he wasn't so used to Jack. Will simply shakes his head.]

Neither. There is simply far more important matters to attend to when first arriving in such an off putting port.

video

[guitar_hero]

What, you're judging with a face like that? [pointed look]

Is it really off-putting? It seems pretty nice to me other than being a bay which I'm not very fond of. No one is shooting at you or trying to imprison you. People seem reasonable. You get free money. Where else will that happen outside of Las Vegas... The state or the satellite.

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

There's shit t' live in everywhere y' look, dude. What kinda place y' hopin' for? Spaceships an' rockets an' all that shit's up in Nova, creaky haunted ol' disasters is in Everglade, Fayren's got yer enchanted cottages an' pirate ships an' shit, Attleton's got borin'ass houses that all look the same mile after mile after mile, an' Genessia's got apartments out the aft end if y' know what I'm divin' at, sheheheheh!

Re: [Video]

[captainwhelp]

[Living with pirates for the past few years has robbed dear William of any reaction to such language. He reacts more to the words 'spaceship' and 'rocket' than anything else.]

What is a rocket? And I will, for now, stay within the apartments. Simple and easier to maintain.

[He preferred simple to anything else.]

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

Well then yer right where y' need t' be. Jus' find one a them tallish lookin' places an' ask if they got any rooms.

Rocket's a... uh. 'S like. A cannon, I guess? Only they flipped it over so 's the rotted barrel that shoots up int' the sky, an' they put people inside a it, like a ship! 'S how y' get 'round in outer space an' shit. Y' know. Goin' from planet t' planet. If y' ain't got any idea what the hell's a cannon though I really can't help y' none cuz that's the best I got.

ACTION

[brinewitch]

[Well Kani missed the video post, but hell if he didn't miss a familiarish sort of style.

Golly it'd been a while since he's seen that look. Three hundred years or so? Yeah that seemed to fit the mark.

With Will as close to the actual bay as he was, it wasn't too hard for the siren to make an approach as the human toyed with his phone.

Aquatically.

Closer.

Closer.

Yet closer sti-]

Welcome ta Genessia, skippy!

[LOUD. Loud and cheerful, and the source of it had now just scaled a rock directly ocean adjacent, easily ignoring the surf and tide to haul himself up on it.

Half of him? Male, human mane, a shorn head and oddly pointed, blue tipped ears. Oh, clawed and webbed fingers, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Followed by a silver scaled, eel like body, which wrapped itself around the rock firmly, normally billowing, fanciful blue and silver fins a little less impressive while in actual air.]

Ya talk to the hologram in the cave at all? She'll sure tell ya anythin' ya need before anyone else will.

I mean unless ya like twenty questions.

Re: ACTION

[captainwhelp]

[Will had been focused on rather slow attempts of figuring out the functions of the strange device he'd received. The voice startles him and he nearly drops the device, having to juggle it a bit before securing it back in his hands.

He stares a moment at the creature, wondering if this was some new horror sent by Jones or something else entirely. Neither prospect giving him much in the way of comfort.]

Hologram? You mean the specter like woman? I heard her words.

[Not very certain about this.]

who are you?

video;

[growsveggies]

It's very nice to meet you, I'm Haru Okumura.

[She bows her head slightly, she did it as a way to be polite and simply because he did introduce himself first it just seemed logical.]

I think the first thing to consider if which city would best suit you.

Re: video;

[captainwhelp]

[He offers her a brief smile before nodding.]

Yes, I have been told that the southern city, Fayren, would be the suitable place. Now I simply need to see what jobs are available.

Video -/slides in late with Starbucks

[blindpuppet]

Hello Will.

[She doesn't introduce herself right away.]

First you need to figure out where you want to live and if you want to live with others. Sharing looks like a common thing here. [She sounds a little uncertain about that.]

I'm Enis Edrin though it doesn't mean very much here.

Re: Video -/slides in late with Starbucks

[captainwhelp]

It is nice to meet you, Miss Edrin and I have managed to figure out where I at least wish to look for work and shelter. The city of Fayren, to the south. I'm told it would at least be familiar to me.

[He pauses as a thought of Port Royal comes to mind.]

Hopefully only in look.

[the_queen_of_thieves]

Well, it depends on what you feel comfortable with.

You would be living in Genessia first, where the free housing is located, but beyond that you've got a large range from a city with flying cars to Fayren, which has magic and less technology. I myself have chosen to live in Fayren, as it's closest to what I'm used to despite magic.

[captainwhelp]

[And confused Will.]

I'm not sure what a car is or why it's odd that it should fly but Fayren is where I've chosen to at least begin. Magic is not much of a problem, as I've learned that it is everywhere.

[He smiles.]

What can you tell me of the city? Is it a port as well or a central city?

[unhappy]

You can be a hobo or get a job if you don't want to live there.

[ Those are basically the options. ]

[captainwhelp]

Hobo? What is that?

[He shakes his head.]

I intend to look in Fayren, I've skills in wayfaring and ship repair and I was a blacksmith for most of my life.
