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!)

[You better believe it does.]

Let's see... I only keep close company with two other incubi and a succubus, my 'family' if you would prefer to think of it that way, but I've encountered various varieties of demons, none of which are as bad as the reputation as they seem to have gained in the human world. At worst they're as mean-spirited as a particularly nasty human.

Do you run into demons much?

He has horns and a tail swishing around. It's not like it's out of nowhere.

"I see. I don't walk around much, so maybe I do need a change of clothes..."

Hmm. Now he'll have to go shopping, and he doesn't have much money on him.

The Showa period, I believe. Japanese history is not my strong suit, however.

"Only about a day or so. I'm actually looking for locals who could explain the city more, but you look more lost than I am."

Which is still pretty lost.

When you read something that's written down, the author isn't around any longer, yes? But you still received the message.

"Interesting name. I can somewhat see how we got it."

They did tend to feed off of bliss, after all.

Perfectly understandable.

[He wouldn't expect anyone to get piercings or be into talking about them if they didn't want to. He just doesn't expect them to talk negatively about his piercings, either.]

You know, it's really sad I'm starting to get used to waking up in weird otherworlds.

[Rise will say this to whoever feels like listening around the party, but for now she's just moving back and forth between idly touching her own neck with a certain level of fascination, and wandering toward the refreshments.]

I wonder if these are safe to eat, though...

And who should she find on the outer edge of the party but Rise. Thankfully, she's about Rise's only friend from Inaba who doesn't get immediately physically bumrushed.

"Welcome to Coba, right Izanami-san?" she asked, eyeing the mass of people here with a bemused expression. That can't have been comfortable. "D'you need to head outside?"

[Rise spots her favorite elementary-schooler at the end of the tour, and greets her with a smile.]

Oh hey, Nanako-ch--

[Wait a second. This wasn't home.]

Nanako-chan?! Wait, how did you get here?

"Well hi!"

Don't mind Rise staring, really. Even in Atia that outfit would have been...well, really trendy. Still, that's a lot more than she's used to seeing on men even now.

"Oh right, the city! Well, we're not on Earth, that's for sure. All of this weird changey stuff going on seems like magic, and something like that would make the news, you know?"

"Naoto!"

Rise didn't really know what else to say to express her relief at hearing Naoto over the walkie, but she had to say something.

"I think we escaped! Uh, somehow," she added. "My collar's gone."

Don't mind your classmate, Kanji. She's just here in the shopping district, jumping up and down in front of the copy of her grandmother's store and laughing.

She knows she's not really home, but this is a damn sight of an improvement over Atia.

After the tour, Yukiko would run into a slightly giddy-looking Rise.

"Hey, senpai!" she says, before running up and giving her a quick hug out of sheer enthusiasm. "Did all of us make it out? It's starting to look that way..."

"You know, this is the second time I've wanted to start off in a new town referencing an American musical," Rise observes. Yeah, this is Atia's Souji. Taller and leaner and with more weird light patches on his neck than her Souji, but still someone she could snuggle up to without being ashamed.

"I think this is beautiful."

"That said, I don't think I've heard of any that looked like you."

"Hey, Chie-senpai! You made it...too...?"

Rise trailed off in the middle of her greeting, noticing something amiss. She might not always be the most observant person, but when it came to hair, clothes, and accessories, she could spot missed details with Naoto-like precision.

"What happened? Are you alright?" she asked.

It was probably natural that young women of similar supernatural dispositions were both drawn to the same place...either that, or they were two young women who arrived with one outfit apiece, one of them downright embarrassing.

Either way, Yukari would run into Rise hanging around out in front of the clothing store, trying to subtly figure out of the stock there was also free, and Rise would turn and, for possibly the first time since Yukari got here, instantly light up with recognition.

"Oh hey! I know you!" she exclaimed.

"You know it ain't actually home, right?"

It's worth making sure, because he can see where the mistake'd be easy to make.

"I'd be this happy just to see a picture of it after six months on that stupid island!" Rise explains.

She stops herself from running up and hugging the door. Barely.

"Hey, have you been inside your place yet? How much detail did this place get on the insides?"

"I did, yeah - only thing missing is Ma." He's... not sure what to make of that.

"At least I'll have somethin' to do. What about you, gonna try to make tofu all by yourself?"

"Eheh...well, I did always want to try it, but somehow I think Grandma would find a way to hit me with a spoon across dimensions," she admits.

"I was mostly going to see if it copied any of the stuff I left here. Maybe see if there's any real tofu makers pulled in who want a job," she says. "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Kyoko-san, have you?"

Kanji snorts - at least he knows enough about fabric that his ma won't come and harass him for how he's running things - and then sobers.

"Can't say I have. Ain't seen Chloe-san, either, which is gonna be a wrench for Naoto."

Yeah, but that's ink on paper, not a voice.

It's much more... wood and stone.

[ He's the best at describing things, clearly. ]
