Who: Yuan and anyone who wants to run into him!
Where: The plaza.
When: September 24th, late afternoon.
Style: [Action]
Status: Open.

[When Yuan awoke, it was in the streets of Vatheon's middle district, around 2 PM. To say he was disoriented would be an understatement. To say he was paranoid this was another one of Mithos' tricks would also be an understatement- He was almost sure of that. Some sort of 'punishment' for betraying Cruxis' ideals. It'd be just like him.

But then he'd found the welcome brochure and began to read. The more of it he'd absorbed, the more his head started to hurt. It seemed more and more unlikely Mithos was responsible for this, but that knowledge did nothing to settle his anxiety. If there's one thing he didn't like, it was being 'stuck'. Was he really supposed to believe there was nothing he could do to get himself out of here? And who else was here?

He would use the communicator to ask these questions, but after looking it over, he decided he didn't trust this device as far as he could throw it. There was no telling who would be listening, after all. He pocketed it for future investigation, but there was no way in hell he would be using it right now. So instead, he decided to seek out this Welcoming Committee. It seemed to be his safest bet for getting more information.

Starting later in the afternoon, anyone would be able to find him in the plaza, either staring up at the welcome building indecisively or observing people as they passed by. At some point, he would actually enter the building to see if anyone was inside, only to return to the plaza afterwards.]

[... Some man he doesn't know is offering to buy him a drink. As if the situation wasn't confusing enough already.]

I generally don't go drinking with strangers.

[Oh goodie, another overly serious and boring person. Woohoo.]

Another boring and stiff person, I see. [He sighs.] What is it about you types that always seem to enjoy being around me?

It's because someone has to be the voice of reason. [And Yuan may have misread Angelo's intent just a little.]

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

Voice of reason? I try being a good gentleman and offer you a drink since you're new, but you take offense to it.

I did not take offense. It's like I said, I don't go drinking with strangers. [This guy never even gave Yuan his name or anything.]

Then let's give each other our names so we can become better acquainted, therefore we will no longer be strangers. [See his logic Yuan? It's perfect.]

[He gives a bit of a frustrated scoff, but decides to humor Angelo anyway.]

It's Yuan.

See? That wasn't so hard for you, now was it? [He's smirking.] The name's Angelo.

[Wipe that smirk off your face, young man. This is not a victory or anything of the sort.]

Right. In that case, I'll offer you a deal. You give me a tour of this... city and I'll join you for a drink. [A platonic one.]

[You're so boring man, let him have some fun.]

Very well, if you insist. I'm a bit bored anyway so giving a tour doesn't sound terrible.

Well, then. Lead the way. [Oh look, Yuan's first smile since this conversation started. If you can call it that. It's more of a smirk.]

[He begins to walk Yuan on their tour.] So while we're walking, why don't you tell me about your world?

[Sharing that kind of information makes Yuan a little wary. He'll try and keep it as general as possible, but even so, he has no idea where to start. He doesn't know what sets his world apart from other worlds.]

What do you want to know?

[As long as he doesn't have to think about those things he doesn't want to, Angelo is fine. That's why he needs distractions.]

The name firstly and anything else you feel like telling me, I could care less what specifics you give me.

[Oh Angelo. That was basically an invitation for Yuan to spout useless facts.]

The world I came from is called Tethe'alla. [This much is technically true. He was last in Tethe'alla.] The sky is blue, it has one moon and one sun. The continents are separated by a large ocean. I'd say it has a population of about three million. [Because Tales worlds always seem significantly smaller than Earth.]

[Oh goddess, be quiet Yuan. He does not want to hear useless facts.]

Tethe'alla? Sounds interesting. It also sounds very close to my own world.

[Hey come on, Angelo. For all he knows, other worlds have green skies. Or oceans don't exist. They don't exist on Derris-Kharlan, either.]

Is that so? What is your world like then?

[Be glad his world is very normal like yours, Yuan.]

Same as yours, continents connected by islands which are surrounded by water. We have to go by boat if we wish to travel or use a spell that allows for travel.

A spell that allows for travel? [You've caught his interest, Angelo.]

Yes, it's called Zoom. There's also an item called a Chimera Wing which allows you to travel and has the same effect.

[He's never heard of a spell called Zoom. It could be some sort of wind-elemental spell. Using the wind to carry you forward... Hmm...]

Is this the wing of an actual Chimera?

It's more of a bird's wing and you hold it up into the air.

What does it do, exactly?

It allows you to go anywhere you want go, of course.

How? Teleportation? Flight?
