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.

Well. This is new. It's like Camp went modern.

[ checking out those brochures ]

[so, hey, vampires (and I guess werewolves, witches, and humans too) from Mystic Falls and New Orleans. You might find a couple of signs posted to telephone polls and the like today as you're wandering through Coba:

BOOK CLUB MEETING. MYSTIC FALLS AND NEW ORLEANS CHAPTERS ONLY. BOOK SUBJECT OF THE MONTH: SUPERNATURAL TITLES.

No Klaus Mikaelsons allowed.

There's some helpful directions scribbled on the bottom of the sign, leading you to one of the hotels and up to a room Damon and Elena have procured]

[ Peter is taking pictures of the new city, cataloging everything he can ]

[Noting the directions, Jenna follows them - because, hey, Mystic Falls. She knows that place. - and knocks on the door of the hotel room, waiting to be allowed entrance. She wonders how awkward this is gonna get, since she knows a few people from there might ... remember her as being dead, after all. Screw you, Klaus.]

Er, it looks like a city?

So not much, then.

[That's helpful in its own way.]

May I ask how you came here?

...You're not thinking of a tour, are you?

[ he holds up his skateboard ]

I'm thinking of running away in the opposite direction screaming, actually.

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!"

[ when elena opens the door, she's expecting... well, pretty much anyone but jenna, but mostly she's expecting caroline. damon had told her that caroline was around, after all, and as far as elena knew, she was the only other person from mystic falls who had made it through to coba. to say that she's shocked to see jenna would be a massive understatement.

it takes a few moments for elena to even form words, stuck standing in the doorway with her mouth gaping and tears forming in her eyes. eventually, instead of speaking, elena just launches herself forward and throws her arms around her aunt. ]

"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.

[Caroline arrives a few minutes later, checking the number of the room before she glances and just stops dead in her tracks as she catches sight of Elena hugging someone. Granted, she's behind Jenna so she's not sure who it is definitively, but the hair color pretty much means it's most likely one person

Who's been dead for a while.

So have one Caroline standing there, just staring]

Oh, good. Though we could do without the screaming. It'd needlessly call attention to us.

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...]

[She didn't really know what she had been expecting as she stood where transport had been indicated moments before. Considering how modern the rest of the city seemed much of the time, the somewhat familiar street car that came rattling it's way up to halt nearby her.

When the doors open though and she's gestured to climb into, Nagi mounts the steps with little hesitation and glances to those already within the bus. To those who can see the supernatural, they might be intrigued by the small kimono wearing pixie settled atop her head.

The bus isn't crowded but it doesn't feel quite right to take an empty seat with there are others next to people near her. So she approaches someone sitting alone and asks:]

Would you mind if I joined you for the ride?

I don't know if anyone would.

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

Naoto was on her way to the police station, and is still holding a paper cup of her usual quad-shot latte when she blinks, and suddenly the weather cools, and she's standing in a city, looking up at what is unmistakably a maid cafe.

Startled, she almost drops her coffee as she reaches to her neck. It was gone. She was free of the island, and all of its bindings on her.

She reaches into her shoulder bag and pulls out a walkie-talkie. "Is anyone else seeing some sort of city instead of the island? Or am I... alone?"

Eventually, she can be found on her own, wandering the city, an androgynous figure in a blue coat, blue hat, plaid pants and brown shoes, trying to find her bearings in a new place.

So. First order of business: That damnable collar's gone, and so's whatever Silence equivalent Atia had on his Persona. Kanji's inclined to call both of those good news. (If everyone else is around, anyway. The whole reason he kinda didn't want to go home was because his friends were so much... friendlier.)

Second order of business: This may not be Fuck Or Die Island, but it ain't Inaba either. Sure, it looks like the shopping district (kind of, sometimes), but. That loud asshole that's always by the shrine calling him a degenerate punk isn't there, and neither is his ma.

So, he knows where it's not, and when the tour gets announced he decides he might as well see where it is. There's a bus stop right where he expects it to be, across the street from a gas station (also right where he expects it to be, if Izanami-less at the moment).

After the tour, he figures he might as well grab some food, before drifting back in the direction of the textile shop. It might not be exactly home, but it'll work for now.

[Judging by the horns and the tail, it shouldn't be a surprise when Orias briefly glances up to look at the pixie before returning his gaze to Nagi.]

Not at all. I'd been hoping for someone to talk to on the ride.

There does seem to be an interesting array of people here. ...Not entirely an unfamiliar view.

[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.

As he turns into the shopping district, standing in front of the textile shop staring slightly at the building is a very familiar figure in a very familiar outfit. It's almost reminiscent of another time that he came home, about a year previously.
