I've been here less than a week.

It's still a little bit unreal. Like a dream. I know it isn't one; for one, in my dreams people usually don't talk to me. Or take me home. Or look at me. Or take me shopping.I guess, responsibly, I should ask for people's phone numbers. And the guide didn't really come with a map. Is there a map of this place? I'd

It is strange when you first arrive here, isn't it? But it does get easier with time!

[malleableworld]

Does it really? I hope so.

I'm Nate.

[primrosella]

It does. I've been here nearly six months now, and a lot of the things that I thought were strange when I first arrived hardly bother me at all anymore.

Hello, Nate, it's a pleasure. I'm Rosella.

[malleableworld]

Six months?

Do you miss home?

[primrosella]

Oh, yes, very much so. But after all the time I've spent here, I think that if I were to go home, I'd find myself missing my friends here in the City just as much.

[malleableworld]

I'm glad you have friends, then.

Do you know if there's a map of this place?

[primrosella]

Er...I'm not sure, actually. I have one that I made myself a while back, but I don't recall if there's a more complete one anywhere. Have you checked in the Library, perhaps?

[malleableworld]

There's a library?

[primrosella]

Yes, and it's enormous. You can find almost anything in there!

[malleableworld]

Anything? Really?

I'll have to take a look, thank you.

[primrosella]

You're very welcome! And it certainly seems that way, sometimes. Just remember to be careful when you're looking, so you don't get bitten.

[malleableworld]

...do the books bite?

[primrosella]

Some of them do, but a good thump on the spine will usually take care of things. Some others try to run away. It's quite an adventure, really.

[malleableworld]

With teeth?

[primrosella]

Sometimes. Most of the ones I encounter just try to snap their covers shut on your fingers.

[malleableworld]

Well, if they're heavy enough, I guess that could hurt.
