[There is a man dressed in white looking up at one of these painted slogans with an interested expression.]

[He's also totally soaking wet, but he doesn't really seem to care. After examining this message, he moves on to the next one and stops in front of it, as if these things were pieces of art hung up in a really fancy art gallery or something.]

[Obviously, he needs to be bothered.]

[nos_servabit]

[And Jacob listens intently, before nodding to tell Lea he understands.]

[prominence_glow]

It's no problem. I can take you to a hotel, if you want. I don't think Brad'll be up at this time of night.

[nos_servabit]

...Brad?

[Who is this Brad you're talking about.]

[prominence_glow]

He's one of the locals around here. Normally, you'd talk with him to find an apartment or house to stay at. There's plenty to choose from.

[nos_servabit]

[A pause as he thinks about that.]

I think I'll find my own place away from the city. But you can show me around if you'd like.

[prominence_glow]

Alright.

[Looks like it's tour time. Lea gestures for Jacob to follow him.]

There's a separate bubble Vatheon is connected to, and that's the forest. You might be able to make a home there. And there's the pirate ship that crashed into here a while back, but that place is a maze. Wouldn't recommend it as a home.

[nos_servabit]

[His smile quirks upward at the mention of the pirate ship.] You know, where I come from, we had a crashed ship as well. Good to see that there's some familiarity here.

The forest sounds good, though. I'll have to take a look at it sometime.

[prominence_glow]

Ha, really? [Lea chuckles a bit.] Check it out sometime, then. There are these ghost pirates who like to pickpocket and talk your ear off, 'tho. Just some warning.

Alright. I think we'll be coming up on the Welcoming Committee's place, soon... [He points it out.] They have a brochure and some welcoming gifts, like a map. Useful stuff.

[nos_servabit]

Ghost pirates? I'll have to talk with them. And I don't think they would find much to pickpocket, I'm afraid.

[Jacob looks towards the Commitee.]

[prominence_glow]

Well, we've all been there, right? Suddenly appearing in a new world, sometimes with no friends or familiar faces at all.

Did you get a lot of new people where you were from?

DARN YOU HTML

[nos_servabit]

It must be hard. But you, you already have quite a few friends here.

[A nod.] Yes, we did. I brought them there.

THE BANE OF OUR LJ except when it's not, darnit

[prominence_glow]

Yeah... I was lucky. Two people from my world were already here. And I've met lots more since then.

[That has him pause.]

...Did you need them like Vatheon needs us?

EXACTLY

[nos_servabit]

You've expanded your horizons.

[He lapses into silence for a few seconds, then answers.] Yes. I need them as much as this place needs you.

[prominence_glow]

Then you have your reasons. [He gives another shrug, and pauses so he can graffiti another wall.]

Don't know what's up, so I won't say anything.

[nos_servabit]

[He watches as Lea graffitis the wall before speaking.]

And I apologize. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Jacob.
