First Brew | Voice | January 12th, morning

[Lily is looking at the communicator with a frown. Although she doesn’t like speaking on the phone, she has to get out of this town before she ends up on the modern version of a flaming pyre. She decides it best not to show her face and manages to set the device to voice after some fiddling and consulting the manual. Trying to sound casual, she

[It takes Chrono a few minutes to figure out how to respond with voice, but he manages it. He figures it's best to follow other people's leads since he's still getting used to Death City and its technology.]

I'm sorry, Miss, but I have some bad news. I just recently came here myself, but...it sounds like there aren't any clear ways back home. I'd already have gone home myself, otherwise.

[Voice]

[magicandvintage]

[Lily wasn't going to give up that easily. She had to get out of this town somehow!] You sure? If they have these high-falutin' cell phones, there has to be some method of transportation here... [She had never been fond of portable electronics since they scrambled her sense of vibrations.]

[Voice]

[rebelwithaclock]

[Chrono can sympathize--as a soldier he never really learned how to use any demon technology outside of what he actually had to use. Trying to learn a new device had been a hassle.]

I'm not absolutely sure, but I've asked around and nobody seems to know how to leave here intentionally--unless they're lying, but they seem sincere.

[Voice]

[magicandvintage]

Guess we'll have to keep looking. Surely, the locals must travel sometimes...

[Voice]

[stridertime]

I reckon' you ain't gettin' out of this shit. [And going to lay off the Texas twang before he starts having trouble not talking like that.]

I hate bearing bad news, but you probably won't be getting out of this shit for awhile. I will also enlighten you that this is probably some crazy different universe, so even if you did go back to San Francisco, your shop and potbellied pig isn't where they should be. Just guessing and assuming since all my friends, whom happen to live in buttfuck somewhere on Earth, live in this city and not back playing cozy and home wherever they usually live.

[ C-c-car?? Natsu visibly gets a bit paler at just the thought of transportation. ]

Why would ya wanna take somethin' like that?

[Voice]

[magicandvintage]

[Strangely colored hair sure seemed popular with the young people here. It reminded Lily of Andromeda who had walked into her San Francisco shop the first time with feathery pink hair.]

What? A bus? I'd rather drive myself but if there isn't a car rental place, I'll settle for a bus ticket. [She really missed her vintage Mustang convertible...]

permavid!

[dragoneel]

[ He deflates a bit. ]

You're pretty brave then. [ Shaking his head. ] Transporation is the worst.

[Voice]

[magicandvintage]

It's not that bad even if driving in San Francisco can be challenging. [She found the city twisty and hilly.] Sausalito's worse though. Narrow streets, hairpin turns, and steep hills.

[calledloony]

There hasn't been a mistake, BREW seems to be more skilled than that... but I still wish we could all go home that easily.

[magicandvintage]

[Lily hadn’t paid complete attention to Spirit’s explanation of the situation since she believed the sudden change in her surroundings to be an illusion caused by the demon she’d been about to exorcise.]

Brew? [The mention of that word made Lily as nervous a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. Although she had a lot of magic, brewing things in her cauldron was the one witchy thing she especially excelled at. Had someone figured out she was a witch already? Maybe, she could distract by bringing up another type of brew...]

You mean alcohol? [If she had been in a bar before she found herself here, she would have wondered if she had drank way too many Mai Tais…]

voice;

[calledloony]

I meant the thing that brought us here, didn't they tell you that? [Maybe Shibusen is covering up more information now... she doesn't want to think that badly of them, but it's a possibility.]

...or maybe you knew that and think we're here because of drinking.

voice;

[magicandvintage]

[She laughed, a bit nervous.] I was kind of distracted. So what is this Brew thing?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Even if you go to San Francisco, it won't be as you remember it. I'm sure others have told you by now.

[Audio]

[magicandvintage]

I don't really see why not. [She's still somewhat skeptical about this whole situation considering that BREW grabbed her when she was about to exorcise a demon she knew to be capable of causing illusions.]

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Please try to understand that the world as you know it isn't present here. I know it's difficult but you have to attempt to wrap your head around it as a concept.

[L's monotone doesn't exactly make it sound like he's trying particularly hard to empathize.]
