The more you learn about something bigger than your world, the less about it you understand. Yeah, that definitely sounded familiar; his first hour in Dracula's castle had been much the same.

At least no one had asked him to be the hero yet. Not that he'd turn the job down, but he had a feeling this one was waaaay over his head in a lot of ways. With none of his friends in this place, all he needed to do was find his own way out. No mucking about with the forces of Evil, no race against the clock, no facing Death at every turn - literally and figuratively - and, perhaps most important, no shady figures telling him he needed to do something -right now- or people would die. This place was a vacation resort compared to the Count's abode ( ... )

Epros was hardly a hero himself, and so he had no reason to tell anyone, much less this young man, what he should be doing. Epros went where his curiosity lead him. If he stopped a few people from being harmed in the process, however, he would hardly complain.

He wasn't entirely sure what a "smart phone" was, but it did sound like the young man could tell him how to make some progress with the journals. Excellent. Another step closer to the answers he sought. "As I recall, while on my way here, 'tis a cafe fairly near."

"That sounds like as good a starting place as any. You can call me Soma, by the way." He bowed with a flourish, indicating that Epros should lead the way. If he had any qualms about following someone who was floating along, he gave no indication - he'd seen weirder things before.

'Nearby,' as it happened, was a half mile away; barely enough distance to really stretch his legs, but enough to tell him that despite the surface appearances something was seriously screwy with this city. Either they all had the same genetic ancestors, or they weren't entirely human. It wasn't hard to figure out which, really. Blue eyes might have been a dominant trait, but blond hair wasn't; all of these people had both, barring the few obvious outsiders - himself and his companion, for instance.

"Then shall we begin our navigation? As for introductions, Epros is my appellation." His amusement clear on his face, the wizard bowed playfully in return before beginning to float off in the direction of the cafe.

Once they arrived, he finally alighted, his feet gently coming to rest on the road a few yards from the door. The "walk" was a shorter one than he thought, though that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He didn't think he had sampled anything these cafes had to offer, despite seeing plenty of them around. "And so it is that here we are. As was said, 'twas not far?"

"Not far at all," he replied amicably, holding the door so Epros could enter first. "I walk further than that to school, back home." Soma let Epros order first, made his own selection, then picked out a table near the front windows so he could watch people wandering by.

After they had settled in, he slouched in the chair a little - not enough to be considered rude, just enough to get comfortable - and set his journal on the table. "Mind if I ask what may be a personal question, before we get started?" he asked, giving his head a slight, curious tilt. "You don't have to answer, if you don't want to. Why do you speak the way you do, the rhyming and such?"
