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!)

A telephone actually.

[Nagi opens up the phone booth. It's not a payphone really given how the one in the Fukuroku Inn in Tsukigata was a regular telephone simply situated in a booth for the ease of guest privacy.

The interior is mostly dark wood too, a singular lamp in one corner and a fairly long booth type of seat in front of a ledge. And settled there is a very nice example of a 1930s-era phone.]

If an individual has a phone, they have a phone number. You can use this to dial their number and should the other person answer, you can talk to them directly through it.

A telephone.

[ The contents of the box is not what he expected. Not that he really expected anything in particular, but he didn't expect what was in it. ]

Woah. Awesome.

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.]

Really? Wish we had something like that where I'm from.

What do you typically do for communication processes where you're from?

Letters, messenges sent by horse or bird, or we go see the person we need to talk to.

I see... I've never really sent a message by bird before.

[By demon sure. Is it sort of the same thing?]

Never? So people don't do that in your place?

Not that I've seen. In theory we all either send letters or call one another, should the other person have access to a telephone. We visit face to face as well.

Interesting. How much time does it take to call someone?

However long one wants to put into conveying their message. The actual act of calling takes minutes if that.

I don't really get it but it sounds really interesting.

I understand. It's a theory that seems rather complicated unless you see it in action, yes?

Yeah, it sure seems like it.

Still, it seems like this town is an opportunity to learn about many processes and things neither of us have known before.

And that's an exciting thought!

I'm very glad to hear that. I enjoy the process of learning new things as well. I do understand some do not however.

Yeah, for some reason some don't. I don't get why, though.

In theory people enjoy when things are fairly reliable and similar. Adapting to new things becomes difficult then.

I can't say I don't enjoy things being fairly stable but that doesn't stop one from learning.
