Uh. Um. Well, do you remember a voice telling you to "Wake"?

[Link scratched behind his left ear.]

I don't understand why, but, it takes a few days. All you have to do is go back through one of the Gates.

But--things can be a little different back home. Like you're in a dream or something. I can take you to someone a little better at explaining stuff, or send you one of the guides for you to read.

[The boy took his shield off to show her the back, which functioned essentially like a modern smartphone.]

Do you have an item on you....like a mirror or a book? It's how the people in this city contact each other. It's like magic, if your world has that.

[waterfield]

( now that he mentioned it... but she had assumed that had been a dream. it would make sense as it had told her to wake. didn't that just mean waking up? ) I... think that sounds vaguely familiar, yes. I thought I was just telling myself to rouse from a growing nightmare though.

A gate? ( so in a few days she would be able to return to the harris' via a gate. well, that was at least a relief. but then he mentioned that it would be ... different and that caused her heart to sink a little. it wasn't really going home was it? ) ... in other words I'm not properly returning to my home, am I?

Any item at all? ( because she certainly didn't have a shield. :x )

[younghero]

It's complicated...but, it's not anything bad, so don't worry.

[Link nodded]

Some of my friends have mirrors, some others have books that work for them, my adoptive father uses his cloak----depends on Nautilus's mood.

[waterfield]

( it didn't really sound like "nothing bad" to her. it sounded like it wasn't really her home. which she tended to process as bad. ) I'm not sure I agree. I think that not being able to properly return to my home is quite bad! ( a frown. )

I see. ( truth be told she hadn't quite looked into that, really. she was far too busy being confused about where she was to look for a trinket that might be of use to her. an adoptive father rang familiar to her as the harris' were her adoptive family. ) Its mood? The city is sentient?! ( she felt like there were probably stranger things... )

[younghero]

[Link's standard for "bad" was pretty awful. Most things in Nautilus had been a stroll in the park, but, he wasn't about to argue with the poor new arrival.] I understand, but, I 'm probably just doing a bad job explaining stuff.

[He nodded.]

Yep. Sometimes he gives the people who live here gifts, and people who've been here longer than me, says sometimes he even speaks!

[waterfield]

( her definition of bad was quite terrible... daleks, cybermen, yeti, the great intelligence, ice warriors and the strange seaweed creatures that had led her to the harris family in the first place. they were among the worst things she had seen. it was why she had fled from traveling with the doctor as soon as she could. she hadn't ever dealt with bad things so well. so this was just another terrible mess that she had thought she was done with. ) N- No, oh don't say that. ( and now she felt bad. she hadn't meant to imply that at all. ) I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that as it sounded, really. I'm just- I'm just not good with... I've never been able to deal with this sort of thing.

( she'd not really ever heard about a city that was alive before. that was a little jarring. ) What sort of things does a city have to talk about, I wonder... street reparations, maybe?
