[The video comes at an odd angle, all wild waves of vivid green hair, occasionally rocking nauseously to reveal pale, creamy skin and the flash of dark blue eyes or part of a nervous but friendly smile -- much like the voice that comes over the airwaves.]

I've... never used something like this before, so I hope it's working! [Her laugh comes soft, chiming a few times before dissipating. The screen shakes and a slender hand comes into view, gesturing as she speaks. Slowly her appearance becomes a little more visible; a sideways angle of about two-thirds of her face comes into focus. Though the angle is odd, it's clear that she is an attractive woman and while uncomfortable, she radiates warmth.]

I'm not really sure where I'm going with all of this, I hadn't had much of a plan in mind when I started. [Another soft laugh that implies she's lost in more than one sense of the word. It doesn't reach her eyes, nor does the smile any longer.]

I do have a question, though, if no one minds it. What now?

[ Green hair might be unusual to some, but Lin makes no comment. ]

I can see that you've had many questions answered already. Have you been given directions to the Hotel?

[sylvan]

[ You're a real bro, Lin. ]

I haven't. Is it difficult to find? I was just going to wander a little and go there whenever I feel tired...

[ She does what she can. ]

[She frowns. Typical moogles, leaving people to fend for themselves.] It is not too difficult to find. Traverse Town is made up of several districts - the one you are in is First. Take the doors to the north of the area, behind the jewelry shop, to head to the Second. The hotel is located there.

Make sure to have your spirit with you. Nightmares tend to congregate in larger packs in certain districts over others.

Alright, thank you! [ She's never been in a city so big before, but she's certain she'll be fine. Traveling the world can do that, right? ]

Do they always lean toward a certain area or areas? Or do they change which ones they favor from time-to-time?

[ Traverse Town wasn't a city, exactly.. But it was certainly larger than many villages from Lin's world. It was simply on a far smaller scale to Republic City. ]

The wider the space, the more chance you have of groups, though some will attempt to ambush in narrow spaces. One of our long time resident dreamers made a map showing where certain groups are most likely to gather. It can be accessed in the archives, through your communicator.

[ It seems bigger than most places in her world. About the scale of Baron or something, but the buildings are much taller and larger and all this new technology... it's a little overwhelming for her. But she's eating it up, excited to explore all this place has to offer. (She just wishes that her friends were here to explore with her...) ]

It's a good battle tactic, but narrow spaces can easily backfire. [ Especially when the person that's being attacked uses magic. They don't have to worry about slashing or stabbing or whatever-ing just one at a time. ] Thank you for the advice. I'll have to figure out how to work this... communicator device.

Are the interiors of buildings usually safe?
