A hotel...? I would question buildings appearing out of nowhere, but after being here for nearly four months I have seen enough to not be surprised by such a thing. I am certain I don't need to warn you all that staying there would not be wise.

[Anyone that knows Velvet will likely notice that she has been listless and melancholy

A hotel? Is that like an inn? I am afraid I have never been to either, so I am unsure if I am correct or not.

[fateful_chains]

Indeed, they are quite similar. I had only heard of hotels after being here for some time.

[doomedreunion]

I see...I only arrived a short while ago, so I am still unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology found here.

[It doesn't help that not-bro is a troll.]

[fateful_chains]

'Twas the same for me when I first arrived. Many here are willing to help, and for that I am thankful.

My name is Velvet; I'll try to help you adjust to this strange place, if you wish.

[doomedreunion]

My name is Matin. Your help would be appreciated, if you are truly willing; I would be very grateful. This is very different from what I am used to.

[fateful_chains]

T'would be my pleasure to assist you. I must warn you, however... 'tis a bit difficult for me to get very far at the moment.

[doomedreunion]

[Matin is going to be traumatized forever when she realizes what this town is like, sob. YOU MEAN NOT EVERYONE GETS ALONG AND HOLDS HANDS AND IS HAPPY?]

Oh, really? That is alright, I do not mind; please take all the time you need if that is so.

[fateful_chains]

[Mayfield is a happy, friendly town! As long as you're a drone, anyway!]

What house have you been given?

[doomedreunion]

[Too bad Matin isn't a drone!]

House? Oh, I am living at 1127 Taylor Road while I am here.

[Though technically there probably isn't a home to return to back in Aria Te'Laria even if she didn't die o/ ]

[fateful_chains]

I believe I know where that is. I shall be there as soon as I can.

[Velvet knows all about that! Her world kind of explodes shortly after the point I took her from! And she's knocking on your door, Matin.]

[doomedreunion]

[PRETTY MUCH everything that happens in the Epic of Zektbach is because of the Ristaccia...which gave people emotions and individuality in the first place except for the Star Children who were locked out of the evolutionary cycle, but that got broken when Kukaru "saved" Malchut from drowning herself as part of a ritual to preserve balance

But anyway, she answers the door.]

Oh, good afternoon.

[fateful_chains]

[She totally makes leaning on a crutch look natural and easy.]

Matin, I presume? 'Tis I, Velvet.

[doomedreunion]

Yes, that is correct.

Oh! Please, do come in, then, Velvet. [Steps aside to let her in.]

[fateful_chains]

Thank you. [She does so.]

What can I assist you with?

[doomedreunion]

This place...creates fake "families", correct?

[Still trying to wrap her brain around the concept of having a twin "brother" who isn't her brother. At least this one doesn't hate her.]

[fateful_chains]

Indeed. 'Twas more than a bit difficult for me at first.
