WHO: Patchouli, whoever else feels like showing up
WHERE: Places. You know. Basically wherever. A library is a good bet, though.
WHEN: Late Day 2-Early Day 3 I... think...
WHAT: Somehow it became possible to get this nerd to have a look around a city.

Patchouli emerged from the mansion in the middle of the night to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently the city was so intent on dragging her in that it would give her nowhere else to go. Fine. She just wouldn't go anywhere, then, right?

Well, about that... For some reason probably a blatant shoehorning in order to get her to go look around, the siren allure of other libraries drew Patchouli into the city. She also decided to explore everything available to her. What this means is that other people have many opportunities to interrupt her, and pretty much wherever -- but once she runs across an unfamiliar library, she might settle in for a while to read.

Day 3 in the morning

Speaking of libraries, Noah went about the city to find resources, a place to stay, which was amazingly easy considering the nature of the place. While he still felt slightly on edge about how accommodating Coba was, he also knew to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He figured a library would be the next best option for information about this city. He'd find more physical work to do in the meantime.

If Patchouli is so inclined, she would just find the blonde seventeen-year-old looking through the archives on possible information on Coba.He doesn't seem to know anyone else would be here yet.

Libraries are a fantastic place to learn about human cities - not just their history but also what sorts of things the people there are interested in or value. Not to mention their literature...

Which is to say, Orias has his reading glasses on and has just finished devouring his third book about local history. Maybe now is time to move on to a different subject...

"Excuse me, may I look at that book when you're finished with it?"

late day 2

Bernard's willing to believe that this city is nothing more than a drunken dream that he's navigating with a great lucidity. Somehow this entire city seemed to be a combination of bars, off licenses, libraries and bookstores - or was that simply him projecting onto the canvas that was this dreamscape?

The thing that was running counter to Bernard's theory was the sheer stubbornness of which everything seemed to be solid and real. Buildings seemed to be made of stone and brick, which means that Bernard's attempt to punch the library wall in an attempt to test the dream-like nature of Coba has ended in failure and him cursing loudly as he clutches his hand, hunched over and eventually landing in a pile on the library steps - obscuring Patchouli's path in.

Such a big library! Or it seemed as much to the young Summoner as she meandered inside. Aisle after aisle, row after row, it almost feels like the books don't intend to end.

She reaches the aisle Patchouli is in eventually. The Pixie who's been keeping pace in front of Nagi this whole time finally relents and lands against a book on one of the shelves nearby the other woman. "Oh hey, this one is all about demons!"

"Oh?" Nagi bends to look.

Day 2 - Sunset. (SO MUCH HAPPENED OMG i hope i'm doing this right)

Someone else had the same idea. Navigating a city that was actually alive offered a wide range of opportunities to experience things - who knew. Not her.

She had no set destination in mind, and nor had she worked up to purchasing a vehicle or anything of the sort (obviously), so this meant out-and-about. When looking to get somewhere quickly, roof-hopping and superjumps were often a thing. Even the highways weren't necessarily troublesome as long as she kept moving, and if she were hit by a car or two along the way - no big deal, right? Get a little scuffed, brush ourselves off, keep going.

And it turns out...her path just happens to lead to you.


"Patchouli!"

Sure sounds familiar, huh?
