WHO: You!
WHERE: Around the city!
TIME: All Through Day 1
DESCRIPTION: CITY TOUR MINGLE!

Maybe you stayed in Coba, maybe you went home and came back, or maybe this is your first time here, but everyone is suddenly greeted to a friendly, female voice over an intercom (or maybe it's a some other device? Depending on where you're from)

"Welcome citizens. We hope you're enjoying your visit! Transport will leave in twenty minutes for the Coba city-wide tour!"

If you follow the voice, you'll find yourself at a bus stop. Or is it a fancy monorail? A carriage? A couple of horses? Coba is flexible and will change herself to suit you, after all. And if you get left behind, don't worry! There's free cabs anywhere in the city, who also will be more than happy to give you their own version of the tour.

The Coba city-wide tour boasts an hour of informative information regarding Coba's most important locations, some extra brochures (with some extra savings in there, of course), and will finally return you to the place you left from.

Of course, maybe the tour isn't for you. After all, the party is still going on, and now Coba's businesses are really beginning to open and advertise what they have to offer. Have you checked out the free hotel room? Or maybe you're grabbing a free meal? Or maybe, just maybe - you're looking into an apartment!

Either way, Coba hopes you've been enjoying yourselves. She has so much to offer you.

(welcome to the first official post! Mingle to your hearts' content, and don't be afraid to make your own posts, either!)

They are very convenient, particularly for those living outside of one's village.

[And who aren't fellow Summoners you can just sort of appear in front of.]

"...Yeah, totally not. This is pretty cool, though."

Hell of a way to see the sights.

He's more than nervous isn't he? Yukiko could sense it and had an idea to try to keep him calm, hopefully it would work. With one hand locked with his, her other which was still on his shoulder, pushed him over gently so his head would try and rest on her. As an added bonus, she started letting her fingers go through his hair again, a habit to try and either keep him calm or just a gentle reminder.

"It's alright. We're good up here."

That's cool.

[ Brows raise at her usage of "foreigner" puzzled at first, but then smiles easily all the same. He doesn't want to embarrass her. Because she really wasn't completely off. ]

I'm from the states, yeah, can't say I've been anywhere else besides that.

And...your name miss?

A teasing smile came to Izanami's face. "Oh? But the power you could get from a shake of my hand would make things interesting."

She shook her head, clearly showing she was joking.

"I..."

Izanami paused, staring around the area.

"...have no idea."

Well, it gets a laugh out of him, at least. "I think I'm good with my slice of it."

Izanami chuckled faintly, wrapping her arms around her and hugging her tight.

"How could I resist? You love such things so much," she replied, before pulling away, confirming that she, too, was lacking in her choker. Thank goodness. "We're really free, aren't we?"

[Izanami was more concerned that she may recognize her for other reasons. Would Souji even take her to fight against her? Oh, she would hope not; having the child dragged into the world of the unconscious was difficult enough, wasn't it?]

[She gave her a gentle smile.]

You are from Inaba, are you not?

She chuckled at that, shaking her head.

"I've heard from Naoto... have you seen the others?"

Had he seen Souji? No, that was unfair; she was worried about the others as well.

"Souji and Yukiko-senpai. That's it so far. If we give it some time we'll know better, probably."

~~In which the narration attempts to establish something resembling a coherent timeline.~~

That's not exactly accurate, but it's my fault for not explaining better. I'm sorry.

She... may have looked more than a little relieved at that. For the obvious reasons.

"I hope we are all present; we all deserve to be free of that place."

"It was back in 2010," Yukari began. Kanji didn't really need the full details, and after already having explained most of this to Naoto, she didn't really want to go through it again. "Do you remember Apathy Syndrome? That was... well, that was because of the Shadows that were around Port Island back then."

Kanji sighs. "No kidding. Maybe Yukiko can actually get some progress in without it bein' completely reset by the damn collars."

Naoto's issues, he has every confidence, will work out in time. Souji's issues had more to do with being alone, from what Kanji knows, and he definitely won't be here.

"Not really..." Yukari answered. "The only one I've actually seen before now was... not really corporal. Or an actual living creature instead of a representation of someone's mind, actually."

Apathy Syndrome doesn't really ring a bell - this is Kanji, he didn't pay much attention to the news in middle school. Or until he got mixed up in the Inaba case, really, and that was because it was their best shot at finding the next victim.

There is one thing that makes him frown, though. "Shadows in Port Island? How the hell'd they get outta their world, though?"

He had horns and blue hair.

"Hey, there's no reason to be sorry about that. We didn't really know each other all that well anyway. And... as much as 'we're suddenly in a completely other world' is weird, this actually is a better way to meet than the way I remember us meeting anyway."

[ ... That was interesting. Yukari wasn't really used to kids avoiding questions like that. But just by avoiding that question it was pretty much a 'yes', wasn't it?

Still, she can tell that she's going to have to... be careful with what she says here. The last thing she wants to do is scare the girl when she could really use some help.

Of course, the time where being in her costume would actually be useful, she had already gotten changed. That figures.]

Really? Me too. With the way this city keeps changing, we really need to take it to keep from getting lost here. I'm hoping that if other people that I know ended up here with me that they'll have the same idea.

[She startles at the change in the train, grabbing on tightly to her hold.]

My, I'm still not used to that! Ah, yes, it's better than a blanket of snow.

Well, darn. That definitely was Seta, and he totally didn't know who she was. Sure, okay, she didn't really know any of his group all that well, but still, she was hoping that at least one of them would know who she was.

Either way, she's going to relax a bit now that she knows for sure, can't help but let out a nervous giggle at that statement from him. "Yeah. It definitely beats a helicopter, anyway." Or at least it beats a helicopter being piloted towards a fight with tons of Shadow duplicates of each other and the end of the world.

Still, seeing the city from up here just showed just how weird it was. Nothing really seemed like it was meant to go together at all. Which was apparently the point of the place, but it was still odd.

Well, you have her father and the Kirijo group to blame for that, but those details were probably a bit too deep for it to be worth mentioning. Especially since it'd make even more awkward questions.

"Some people got a bit too carried away with seeing what they could do with the Shadows, and things got pretty bad for a while. There used to be a time called the Dark Hour when the Shadows could appear, but it's gone now, so that's not something we usually have to worry about anymore. Except for the odd cases where we do, obviously."

Yukari paused for a moment though, before shaking her head. "But... the TV world's existence did answer a few questions that I had back when that was all going on."

[ See this? This is some good ol' appreciation right here. Something she didn't get nearly enough of back home. Non-existent chest puffing out with pride, the pink-haired witch grinned good and wide. ]

That's right, I am! Pretty cool, isn't it?

[ Talking about this weird place could wait. She was getting praised. ]

...wait a sec. Shadows on Port Island.

Is that why Naoto thought infiltrating the Kirijo Group was a good idea? It'd explain a lot, but that's not something worth bringing up right now, not really. Ain't like Naoto got more than shot at anyway.

"Yeah? Like what?"
