Yeah...I know. I really wish I was making this up, but the city is supposed to be "alive" in a sense that it does just as you said. That and...the device you're using to talk to me...it's public to everyone else here. They're all open networks unless you lock them to specific people.

[ The tone in her voice was steady, but it was noted with concern, discomfort, and sympathy. ]

[rift_eater]

...

So...the city's alive. Right. That's--that's a new one.

[ a beat. ]

...what do you mean, it's public?!

[voice]

[hoof_beats]

[ Beatrice rubs her temples at the other line. Yeah, it's like the more she talks, the worst it's going to get. Still. ]

It's how the city works, the network is open to everyone. It's basically how we find new people coming into the city. I don't like it either, but I don't know if there's anything anyone can do to change it.

What do your surroundings look like by the way? I can probably tell you where to go from there. There's usually welcome houses in every district of this place.

Oh man, this is bad, this is really bad...!

[ He miiight be a bit worried right now. He's supposed to operate in stealth mode unless otherwise specified, but not only has he been discovered, now they're looking for him. ]

Uuuh...I'm in the middle of some woods. There's a swamp behind me. [ He's totally going to climb up the nearest tree and cling to the branches if anyone comes looking for him. ]

Look, I'd love to stay and chat and all, but I'm reeeeaally not supposed to be here. Not right now, I mean. I've uh...I-I've got some people to meet.

[voice]

[hoof_beats]

[ ...Let's try something else. While her tone is continuously steady, it softens. ]

It's okay. I know this is a lot to take in. And actually, you sound like you're in the Southern District, that's where I am. There's a Welcome House not too far, I can safely take you to it.

You can go back through the gate, but I don't know if one can go through it right away, I haven't tried to be honest. You can only go through it with a lot of focus.

[ Well...she doesn't seem too bad. Maybe he can get along with whoever's in this world. Besides, he's done it before. He's supposed to lay low, but he's been separated from his group and he can't find his way back. And if what Beatrice says is to be believed, this Gate - maybe that's what they call the portal the city dragged him through in his sleep? - might not be accessible right away.

And even if it was, none of his powers seem to be working, so using it could be dangerous. Awesome.

Well, he's got no other choice. If he's gonna be stuck here, he might as well find some place to hide out until he figures out what's going on. Maybe this Beatrice has some answers. ]

The others are gonna kill me for this...

Alright, okay. Southern District. Welcome House. Got it.

I can't go through that Gate thing right away, right? Might as well find some place to...gather my bearings, I guess.

[ She can't help but exhale a breath she didn't realize she was holding on the other line. Good. He's calmed down. Now then. ]

That's what I've been told, again, I've never actually went through it to get back myself.

[ A slight change in tone to something more subdued, but wouldn't be obvious right away ]

Okay. I'll be right there. I'm going to keep the line on until I get to you okay?

[ She keeps her phone on as she makes her way out of the house, so she just walks and she'll talk to Oliver over it until she reaches him. Hopefully to distract him from this situation. ]

So...I don't think I got your name.

Re: [voice]---->[action]

[rift_eater]

You mean you've just been told that but you've never actually tried? [ Where is your adventurous spirit, Beatrice? Even the cautious young alien would be willing to try out that gate. Except when his powers are short-circuiting like they are now, maybe.

Oh, Oliver isn't moving, you can be sure of that. You'll probably find him clinging to a tree branch when you get to him. ]

...Oliver. M-My name's Oliver.

[ He at least feels comfortable saying that. Oliver isn't exactly a rare name. ]

[voice]---->[action]

[ 18 years of a strict, old-school, devout God-fearing morals drilled into you can alter that sense pretty well. Besides, her being away from home in a place like this is adventure enough for her already.

She keeps her response controlled and adamant. She really didn't want to dig into what was going on back home. Especially to a total stranger. ]

I'm not really in a hurry to go back. No reason to, since time's supposed to stop outside of this place too, so when you go back, it will right where you left off.

[ It's for only a little bit until the 6'3 foot tall, dark-skinned woman with a white top, medium blue faded jeans, and black boots tilts her head to look for the source of the voice. Her puzzled expression turns into a welcoming one. She turns off her communicator upon seeing him in the flesh ]

Need some help getting down?
