[Video/Action]

[The video feed activates and it's evident that Minori is on the move. She's rather distressed but not panicking. She's not the helpless newb she used to be even if she wasn't even close to as strong as the others. There also seems to be a lot of soft jingling just out of the video feed.]

Please excuse me, is this still Elder Tales? I don't remember hearing about a Genessia City on the Yamato Server... I tried calling everyone on my friends' list but I just get a message about the player not being available.

[Minori looks away to check a street sign and then back at the phone.]

I'd like to thank the girl in white for the informative hologram as well! It was really helpful!

[And the feed ends...]

_________________________________________________________________________

Minori sighed after hanging up. It didn't seem like there was a guild hall in this city for some reason, so maybe she wasn't in the game still. But she was still in her gaming avatar and could pull up the command menu. The city did seem safe enough but Minori kept her staff out just in case. The girl visibly shook herself and started walking again. The hologram had recommended she go to a place called 'Haller Home' and it was as good a place to start as any.

A short time later, a message appeared on the phone.

No name attached to the text, only an image on screen as a background. The icon was being made of an inverted flared triangle encircling a point. A solid triangle hovered just above the top bar at the midway point. Near the bottom point there were two matching pairs of triangles, the pair closest to the bottom point smaller than the other solid triangles with nearby pair slightly further up the line the slightly larger than the point at the top.

This is not Elder Tales. How did you access Yamato's systems? Explain.
What is your designation and who is your Flagship? Why are you not responding on the network?

Whoever it was sounded direct and to the point if not a bit hostile about something mentioned in the video.

[OOC Notice: The described object is the Icon used for the post]

Hi there.

[Fai appears on the feed, waving slightly with his usual cheery like manner.]

Most of the things you mentioned don't exist in this world. You are somewhere completely different if that makes sense.

[Haru really didn't have much luck in figuring out what she wanted to do in form of work that wasn't the diner. But she looked around regardless. However, she soon found herself stopping for a moment, spotting the new arrival. At least that was what she guessed anyway.]

Good afternoon, miss.

I created an account with my brother. Then we logged in.

What is a flagship? Is it a guild?

[Aaaand she'll be stopping rather suddenly in a moment of shock, thank goodness nobody was walking behind her. Minori hadn't expected someone to show up on her phone like that. But she HAD asked for help, right?]

Hello, sir! I suppose it does make some sense that this is someplace different but at the same time it doesn't make any sense that I'm still in my gaming avatar.

[There was nothing quite like scrolling through every function on a phone to show how new a person was to having it, so it was a fairly solid guess. The greeting broke through her examination at least and Minori turned her attention to the other young woman.]

Oh! Good afternoon!

[And she'll add a polite bow as well, it was always good to be polite.]

[There's a happy blonde wearing clothes too renaissance and colorful to justify.]

Ah, sorry miss, this is something altogether different. Nonetheless, welcome! What's your name?

[Poor guy would fit right in Elder Tales, where a giraffe-head hat was considered decent gear. She's getting a little more used to the phone now.]

Thank you, sir. It is a little different, but it's not quite as scary the second time. I'm Minori.

The world doesn't make much sense in many areas. Like death for example. You can't technically die here. [A pause.] Let me explain, you can die, but you come back after a few days, though it does mean having to give something up. I remember I did, but can't remember what I gave up exactly.

A few minutes later, another reply came via text. It still had no name, just the same icon as the previous message.

It is the title given to a leader of our guild. We use naval terminology for our positions. I am used to communicating with others in the guild that use our terms. I apologize for the confusion.

Was this person even playing the same game?!

[Haru was going to bow back, so to be polite.]

Are you one of the new arrivals around here? I mean there are so many people here, so I could be assuming as such.

[After all they are in a city, but considering which city, the other seemed to stand out a bit.]

[Minori just nods a little sagely.]

Alright. That part is like the game... If an Adventurer died, they would just revive back at the closest city cathedral. I'm not really sure if I gave up anything but it was a really strange experience. People of the Land don't revive though...

Ah, yes!

[Her smile is a little sheepish but with more hints of worried than fearful.]

I thought it would be a good idea to find the major landmarks of this city and learn more of the basics. This place seems to have some similarities to where I was before, but... it's very different.

[Evidently not... Well, probably not. Who knew what they were doing on the Chinese, European, or American servers!]

Our guild master is called Shiroe. Im in Log Horizon based in Akiba. I havent met a guild using naval terms before. Are you from a different server?

Landmarks? Things like popular places people go to, correct? I can think of a few of those.

[Mostly places that seemed to be owned by other not natives with some exceptions.]

Aheh, well, glad you're accustomed and undisturbed, then.

[He perks up at the name; hey, he might know that one!]

"Oh, I think I know that one! It means 'beautiful harbor', correct? Were you born beside the sea or something?"

To not, this isn't a game. I mean people could consider it as such, but it's not. So I will assume that is where you come from? A game.

Although people do vanish that isn't by death... people believe they go home, but we have no proof that they do.

You're right, I shouldn't think like that. Even in Elder Tales... Well, we met a number of the People of the Land and I really liked them. Shiroe-nii said we need to live in our new reality rather than play like a game...

[A slight pause.]

Yes... Well, it was. My brother and I were both logged in playing on computers when the expansion was released and we were suddenly IN the game living as our avatars. I seem to still be in my avatar rather than in my own body.

Hmmm...

[Minori took a moment to consider the idea and then shrugged slightly.]

I suppose I'm looking for memorable places more than popular places. Important buildings, popular businesses, parks, odd trees... That sort of thing. I was going to start with a place called 'Haller Home'. The girl in the hologram had mentioned it.

[Aaaand, curious head-tilt.]

It does, actually! I never asked our parents why they named us as they did though, I'm sorry.

[Minori paused slightly and perhaps had a moment of awkwardness before continuing.]

Well, I've found myself trapped in an unfamiliar world before at least. I'm not used to this place yet but I'm getting a lot of help so far! It's just a little odd because I'm still not in my original body but I get the impression other people are.

Of course when someone dressed as a shrine maiden walked down the street, a certain youkai was bound to take notice. Not to mention the person in question was a new mind. Fresh from the bay.

She followed at a distance for a short time before drifting forward over her shoulder. Tilting her head, she'd eventually drift forward and start tugging on her sleeve.

"Hello. Miss? Can you see me? Can you hear me? Heeey."

The reply came quickly.

Correct. My guild is on a different server. Our guild master is called Yamato and runs a server not in Log Horizon for communications. It has a password to log into. Someone without the password accessing it was unexpected. We don't like the idea of someone knowing our guild's private server's information.

[OOC: Forgot to use the right Icon for the last post]

Well, there is one park that is well known. As for the Haller home, I believe that is only for people under a certain age. I think 16 or something."

[She is pausing o think about it.]

Minori was a bit too busy taking stock of the city surrounding her to really note the floating follower. Street names, crossroads, how many blocks it was between the points on her map, how big a block was...

There really was no better way to get her attention than what Koishi ended up doing. A tug on the sleeve, a greeting and question, Minori turned her full focus away from her map and completely on the... girl? Floating girl? Floating girl with clothes that would totally fit in on the streets Minori had been walking a two weeks ago?

"Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't paying enough attention..." Minori will give a polite half-bow and then look a little sheepish. "Hello, I can see and hear you... I'm supposed to... right?"

Or was she not supposed to? No, if she wasn't supposed to hear or see the girl, why would the girl try get her attention? A closer look and Minori smiled a little more naturally. "I'm Minori, sorry. I'm still getting used to being in such a different place again so I was a little too focused."

[A few random taps in the empty air and her staff dissolves, leaving her with just her new phone and a map. But after a moment of study, Minori looks rather happy.]

It looks like that park is on the way, so I'm going the right direction!

[Yup, Minori is quite happy she isn't lost.]

The hologram stated it was a good place for those considered underage so I thought it would be best to at least look at it. It wouldn't be good if it turned out to be...

[Aaand she'll cut herself off in an attempt to find a better word than she'd originally intended.]
