You know how it goes. One minute, you're in your own world. You're minding your own business. Going about your day, or maybe you're in the middle of something very, very important. Whatever the case, whether you blinked or you turned around or what have you, you're not where you were before. The first thing you might notice are the sounds around you. It's loud. Crowded. Horns honk and people shout and there's just the constant buzz of activity around you as people play and walk through and hang out in the massive park you find yourself in.

You're in a city. A large, bustling city full of people and all the chaos cities bring.

And somehow, over the din and aggressive noise pollution, you hear someone call your name.

There's an information booth nearby, with a man seated inside, watching you with vague but warm interest over the rim of his newspaper. Motioning you over, he has a packet of information for you and as he does so, he states simply;

"Check your pockets." Unless you're wearing something that doesn't have pockets, in which case, the man will tell you to check the ribbon hanging around your neck. At the end of it is a key. Maybe it's strange to you, and it'll unlock one of the apartments in the buildings nearby. Or maybe it's familiar, and you'll find a shell of your home on the outskirts of the city.

"It would be in your best interest," the man says as he points out the packet of information and hands you an envelope full of money that seem to shift colors very subtly. "If you read all of the information I just gave you."

And he's right. It has where you'll live, where to find jobs, information on a housemate (if you have one) and information on the cellphone he hands you. And there's a box of cookies that taste exactly like your favorite from home, the first bite recalling fond memories of eating them with loved ones, or biting into one fresh from your favorite bakery.

Unless you're rude, in which case, he simply stares at you until you walk away. And remember, if you persist in your behavior, he simply shuts the info booth and no manner of physical or magical attempts will get it to budge in the slightest. Or damage it.

With your cookies and information in hand, he simply gives you a small nod and a half-smile that clearly say it's time for you to move on and he resumes reading his paper.

Welcome to Wechester City.

"That's good. At least you have those that would be willing to be there for you should it ever happen."

She couldn't help but smile slightly. "Hopefully it won't be that long. I wouldn't want to take too much time away from what you were doing."

"Oh, I was only heading home, but I'm already finished with ah, homework? Yes, I like to get that all done as soon as possible to spend time with my loved ones and friends. So I finish that at school before heading home, or if my teachers give me the homework for the entire week, I do all of it that Monday! So I have all the time in the world for you, dear!"

"That is a very useful thing to do. The only exceptions are tests where you can't just finish that early on and it's best to do that in small amounts, but you still can do it and spend time with loved ones." She knows what could happen if one fails an exams.
onebadapple: (Isn't this exciting!)

"Oh, well, I do very well on my tests, I study as much as I can. Though some things are still a bit difficult for me. I'm afraid I don't do very well in math and science. Oh, but listen to me go on! We need to get you to your new home!"

"I mean it's good to talk while we are walking since we don't know how long it will be."

So it was good to have a lovely conversation. "I'm not sure how I would do in these classes since I'm not sure if they are the same as what I had back home."
