I don't think being dropped into a lake is very much of a welcome.

[The speaker is currently soaked to the bone, apparently not having thought to go dry out before using the orb he's gotten. Thankfully, the clip in his hair is keeping most of it out of his face, drowned rat look or not, and his dragonfly is making odd little melodic tones behind him.]

So, I took a look through the Guidebook... and it seems I'm here for a specific reason. A "fixing of a magical drain" or something like that? Does anyone else have any more information on that? It's kind of vague, and I generally mucked about with cards more than anything.

[While it's true in multiple forms, Chou carefully omits the fact they were magical cards.]

...Also, somewhere I could dry off and maybe get a change of clothes would be nice too. At least until mine dry out.

[Here, have a giant floating mouse responding to your call. nbd. He shakes his head before giving an answer.]

That's about as much as anyone knows, I'm afraid. You might as well get comfortable in this world, because you won't be leaving any time soon.

[Daroach isn't necessarily complaining, mind you. He misses his crew, of course, but a new world means new things to steal, and he's been doing quite well for himself.]

As for your other question, perhaps Sunny Beach would be a good place to dry off? The name says it all, really. There's a clothing store in the forest, too, if you don't mind spending a few of your gems.

I'm afraid nobody has much more information than you, sadly.

[Oh, a newcomer. There's been several recently - Minato's grateful the Outsiders seem to have stopped forming factions. Maybe now they can get somewhere.]

I wish I could tell you we knew anything, but I'd be lying. Mostly we're waiting for something to happen so we can figure something out. [A sigh. Minato's been here for months now, and pretty much nothing has happened. It feels like the calm before the storm, though. He keeps in mind what you said about cards, though he won't comment on it yet. The proximity to talking about magic has him thinking about the major arcana.]

The weather's pretty nice in most areas here, so you should dry out fine if you find a sunny patch.

That's really all we know.

[It's disappointing, and every time she says it - thinks it - she gets more and more sure she'll never see Kanto again. Her smile is sad; she's really not able to force something happier out.]

Um... If you lay out on one of the stone plazas, you should dry up really quickly. Summer Forest - that's the realm we're in now - is always summer, so it's really hot and the sun's bright. There's a clothes store around too, but I haven't visited it yet, so I couldn't really tell you the kind of clothing they sell...

[nofairy]

I don't really know either. I've only been here for a little bit... some of those who have been here longer can probably help you out more.

[Dear sweet lord, all those damn Arcana puns. Could you people make yourselves any more obvious? Seito chooses not to comment on them, never mind he watched as much of the conversation that he could. As always, his face remained an emotionless mask, impossible to tell what he was really thinking.]

We all arrive the same way. Unfortunately, no one's found a way to make it easier on new arrivals.
