[There is a whoosh of air that sounds like wingbeats before a frightened neigh and a loud splash]

Whoa, girl! Whoa--

[more splashing sounds, the whinnying and snorting of a horse, and movement]

Calm down. It's only water. ...Your feathers are soaked.

...

....

Where...

This is not Neo Verona.

[A few more rustling

Ah-- *she narrowly misses getting splashed on her way back from Oriya's teahouse, and moves over cautiously, spotting him and the...what was that creature?*

....Do you need any help? This is the City.

[iris_aegis]

[He is carefully leading the pegasus to step out of the fountain as another woman approaches.]

Directions to Neo Verona would be appreciated.

[finalheaven19]

*She pauses for a moment, too used to seeing strange creatures to be shocked for too long. Briefly wondering if it was a worrying fact that she was taking things like people coming from different worlds in stride, she smiles faintly.*

I'm afraid you won't be able to find it; the City acts like a crossroad or a nexus for the various worlds. The way out is different for everyone.

[iris_aegis]

I flew into this city somehow; unless there are archers stationed at the perimeter, I should be able to fly out.

[finalheaven19]

*She looks up at the sky, contemplating her next words before she responds carefully*

There aren't any archers here, sir; but I suppose you can try - who knows, maybe you'll find a way out, then.

[iris_aegis]

I suppose I will have to attempt it.

[finalheaven19]

If it doesn't work, you'll find something that might be of help on your person. There are a few guides that will show you around this City.

[iris_aegis]

On my person?

[finalheaven19]

Yes; it's something everyone gets when they arrive. *her gaze flicks to the pegasus absently, admiring the creature for a moment before she continues* It's one of the things that are unexplained in this City. If you look, you'll find a communicator somewhere. It's what we use to interact with each other here.

[iris_aegis]

Communicator?

[His eyes move to the pegasus' saddlebags; there is a slight bulge that had not been there before in the left one. Opening it, he finds the mysterious mechanical device inside.]

...This?

[finalheaven19]

*Catching sight of it, mildly surprised, she nods* Ah-yes! *gesturing to it, she asks curiously* Do you know how to use it?

[iris_aegis]

I have never seen anything like this before.

[finalheaven19]

Well, see... *she goes over to him, keeping a polite distance before she gestures to the device* ...do you want me to show you how to use it?

[iris_aegis]

...I suppose that would be helpful, if it is something that is widely used here.

[He holds the device out slightly so she will be able to show him how it works.]

[finalheaven19]

*she nods and takes it, and moves the device as she opens it, showing him what she does even as she presses a button for the startup*

All right, see this button here? You press it to turn it on, and when the screen shows up, you'll have to enter a username and a password, so that no one can hack into this! It functions as a sort of journal, too, and you can lock your entries, but first, type out your name and make a password that you can remember, then we'll go from there.

*She gestures to the keyboard, and looks away out of manners*

[iris_aegis]

[He does as told, very slowly managing to pick out the words on the keyboard]

This is a somewhat time-intensive process. Why are the letters not in alphabetical order?
