...?

[Did she say something wrong...?]

Mm! I wasn't very good at asking before, but everybody's so kind here-- no one seems to mind it.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Gathering his nerves again, he starts walking onwards...]

That's good to hear.

[saving_sound]

[Ah... she's pretty certain she said something wrong now. But what could it have been?]

A-anyway though... Like I said, everybody here is very nice, so you can ask around if you need help with anything! Lots of people use the network that way.

[realmenknitplushies]

[She hasn't done anything wrong. Not a thing. It's just ... damn this situation...]

They do? They ain't gonna mind me just calling up and going 'hey guys, I'm lost'?

[saving_sound]

I don't think so! I think that's how it is for everybody when they first get here.

Oh, but... If there's any place you want to go, I can try to give you directions, too!

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh. Thanks. ...D'you know how far it is from - what was it? Freyr hall?

[saving_sound]

Freyr Hall? So you're in Freyr-sama's house?

That's really easy! Once we get to the Sigyn district, it's about three districts away. If you look at the colors they use in each district, you can tell when you're in Freyr-sama's because his will be full of a purplish-blue one!

[She presses on the gemstone of her bracelet, pulling up the map.]

This green one is where we're going now. The Sigyn Welcome Hall is right here [point] so to get to the Freyr Welcome Hall, you'll need to go up this way over to this building here! [More pointing.]

I'm free for the rest of the day, so... After tea, I could show you the way if you'd like!

[realmenknitplushies]

Purple, huh?

[He takes a moment to look around, noticing the coloured hints to the decorations and surroundings - man. If she hadn't pointed it out, he'd have never realised that it meant something.

...More of a hike than he thought, but dammit, is he going to say no now?]

Yeah, sure. You don't have to come all the way, but if you can point me in it...

[saving_sound]

It's my fault you have to go out of your way so much, so... It's really no trouble!

[She's definitely aware of it, at least.]

[realmenknitplushies]

And you're no trouble either, okay?

[Nope. He's not going to budge on that issue. Even if he is walking across half the city for it.]

[saving_sound]

If you're sure...

Were there any other questions you had?

[She's determined to be helpful!]

[realmenknitplushies]

Nothin' so far...

[He's pretty sure that's not going to stay the case, but for now, yeah.]

[saving_sound]

Hmm... They probably told you about powers too, huh?

-Oh, but... They don't tell you which ones are which, do they?

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. They said mine's ...something about drawing? I'm not sure how it's meant to work, though... I was kinda thinking about other stuff when they were giving me the talk.

[saving_sound]

Oh-- it must be drawing things to life! So, if you draw something small, it will become real!

It takes a while, but your power will grow stronger and stronger while you're here. After a while, you'll be able to draw even bigger things, and it won't make you so tired every time you use it!

[realmenknitplushies]

Whoa, really?

[That... okay, it doesn't sound like the outright coolest of things. But it definitely sounds useful! Something he can actually use... Shame it's just 'drawing', though. Ah, well.]

Huh. ... Guess I'm gonna need a lot of paper.

[saving_sound]

You can do all kinds of things with it! One time, a friend of mine made a bunch of hummingbirds using that power! I still have one of them, even!

And it's useful for making supplies and things like that, too!

[realmenknitplushies]

[The bit about the hummingbirds gets a smile off him. Okay, that's cute.]

Yeah, okay. So I just draw the thing and ...boom?

[saving_sound]

I think... you probably have to focus on it to use your power. That's how it is for everyone, so it isn't like you'll use it on accident.

I know some people used to do things too, to help them focus. I don't know if I have to, but... I've gotten used to holding out my hands whenever I heal somebody, that way I can concentrate on it better.

[realmenknitplushies]

[He nods, smiling.]

Okay. Man, I'm gonna need some practice with this thing.

[saving_sound]

I'm sure you will be great at it! I'm usually no good with magic or anything like that, but even I can use it just fine!

[And on a side note, Kanji might see that their surroundings are getting noticeably more green.]

[realmenknitplushies]

Heh. Thanks.

[Admittedly, the magic he's used to isn't quite the same thing by a long way... he's still not comfortable bringing the idea up to anyone outside his own crowd, though. It's been a secret so long...]

- are we getting closer? You said about the colours and all...

[saving_sound]

Mm! You noticed the colors, right? This means we're already in Sigyn!

It won't take much longer. If we just take a right at that street up ahead, you should be able to see the Welcome Hall!

[More helpful pointing!]

[realmenknitplushies]

That's good. I was kinda starting to wonder.

[He looks around, following the pointing and trying to spot where they're heading.]

[saving_sound]

[Once they turn the corner, it's a large enough building that it's hard to miss.]

There it is!

I think... if we just stay long enough for tea, you should still be okay. And then we can go to your district!
