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!)

Orias had been summoned to Coba in the usual way - the usual way for him, anyway. But post-coital chat had led him to discover that he was in a particularly strange location, if his summoner was to be believed.

He had to check things out for himself. That led him to the bus station.

Waiting at the station, or on the bus itself, he might approach anyone else waiting there with a simple question.

"Excuse me. Could you tell me what you know about this city?"

...don't mind the amount of skin he's baring right now. Jackets with no shirt and what hardly constitutes pants are normal for incubi.

[keymash]

Er, it looks like a city?

[deil]

So not much, then.

[That's helpful in its own way.]

May I ask how you came here?

[keymash]

[ he holds up his skateboard ]

[deil]

Just mundanely, I see. And you haven't noticed anything strange about it?

[His summoner didn't sound like he was lying or mad, but...]

[keymash]

Well, I saw someone on a jet pack earlier. I think. It was kind of a blur.

[deil]

[That makes him chuckle a little.] I'll have to try and find one of those and see if I can catch one. [Most likely he can't.]

Thank you for your help. I'm new to the city myself.

[teethteethteeth]

Oh my! That sure was a scantily clad young man. Well, everyone has their own fashion after all. And he's obviously not human. Not that she's human herself either.

"What do I know is that it changes--it was a place that I'd rather it wasn't, but then it changed to a normal human city."

Normal being a modern city.

"And also when I left to check back on my child, I found myself back home. But then I found myself here again. It's quite an odd place!"

[deil]

"Fascinating!" He means it in all sincerity. "I've never been summoned to a place like this before. Is it in the human world at all?"

There's less magic use in the human worlds nowadays, after all, and certainly a shifting city is something he never knew was possible.

[teethteethteeth]

"I wouldn't know. It looked like both a place that definitely isn't in a human world and like a human city."

That mention of summoning makes her curious. It's only more proof that he isn't human. She asks, "So, what manner of being're you?"

She doesn't mention that she's a horror. Even reformed, that tends to alarm people unnecessarily.

[deil]

"An incubus." He appreciates being straightforward about this. "And you?"

[teethteethteeth]

Incubus? That sounds like someone from the Pink World.

"Ah, I'm an ordinary mother. Okay, not so ordinary. But I'm harmless! Even though I'm a horror and all."

Bright and cheerful is the way to go for a revelation like this. It tends to help disarm people. Besides, it just doesn't do to lie! Neglect mentioning it, perhaps, but she was just asked point blank.

[breakrecord]

[He's not even bothered by the outfit, or lack thereof—one of his party members wore less. What gets him is the horns. And, you know, the tail. And pointed ears.

On one hand, it's rude to just ask someone if they're a demon, but on the other, he just saw someone with a pixie... Eh, this place is weird; he can be tactful.]

—Yeah, sure! There's a lot of free stuff, for starters. Did you get a pamphlet? There's coupons in there for all kinds of things.

[deil]

[Fair enough. Hinako does wear practically nothing.]

I did pick one up. Much of it is for restaurants, and that's not that interesting to me, but the discount at the massage parlor sounds appealing.

[breakrecord]

[Orias might wear more than she does, honestly]

I can get behind the idea of a massage. You might want to change out of your costume before doing that.

[deil]

[He raises an eyebrow.] This is what I normally wear.

[breakrecord]

Oh, I didn't mean your clothes. I was talking about the horns and stuff. Good job on those, by the way.

[So subtle, Hibiki]

[evokeslovers]

Yukari shook her head, turning to look at the guy who asked her that question. "Honestly, I don't know much at all," she admitted. "I kinda just got here, so all I know is that apparently we're able to get back home. And that maybe some time travel stuff is-"

Her thoughts were interrupted when she actually got a look at who she was talking to. Not that she recognized him, because she didn't, but... "Why the hell are you barely wearing anything!?"

[deil]

Orias pauses, and looks down at himself as if he expected to see something other than what he put on in the morning. No, there were definitely still the semblance of pants there, and a jacket. Plenty for an incubus.

"This is normal for where I'm from."

[evokeslovers]

"Seriously?" Yukari asks, looking at him like he was... well, nuts. "If that's normal, then where are you from? Because I'm pretty sure that'd get you arrested in almost any city I can think of."

... Okay, maybe that was just a little bit overboard, but could you blame her considering how much skin he was showing?

[deil]

"You probably wouldn't know the name of the town unless you frequent the demon world."

Which, based on her reaction, he guessed she didn't travel there at all.

"Is it really that scandalous?"

[evokeslovers]

Okay. Demond world. Right. Yukari might just be starting to back away from the crazy guy now.

"Yeah. It kinda is," she answered, forcing herself not to look away from him. In case things started to get weird. "I mean, I'm a model, so I'm used to revealing clothes." Sometimes, anyway. "But even that's a bit much. Especially for just walking around like this."

[loversdilemma]

"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?"

[deil]

He's starting to figure out why people are staring at him. He might need to invest in a change of clothes.

"It's not a type of magic I've seen on my own world, and definitely not on Earth. But other than those two places, I don't know where this city could be."

[loversdilemma]

"Well, apparently there's all kinds of weird places. This isn't even the first strange magic city I've suddenly woken up in," she admits.
