[First District, Traverse Town. Kanji's spent a little while getting settled in, but he's out and exploring right now, getting his bearings.
Or, at least, he is until trouble hits.
A mob of Nightmares. Nothing spectacular, a gang of Meow Wows, but it's enough to catch him off guard. How can anything so adorable be so vicious...! Then again: he's hardly unfamiliar with getting into a fight. Now, what can he use around here to take those damn things out with...

Shortly after, parked on the steps leading down to the town gates, he'll be making a call to get some more answers while he recovers a bit.]

...anyone getting this? Uh, hi, anyway. Name's Kanji - I got here earlier. And - I've got a coupla questions. About these guys.

[He pans the camera around to show his Pricklemane bouncing happily nearby.]

This little dude saved my ass earlier, but I don't know anything about it. Or about the ones who were trying to eat me. ... That's how it works, right? They're 'Dream Eaters', we're dreaming...

[Kanji logic, everyone.]

So is there anything I need to know? Like, how do I look after this guy? Does anywhere sell food for 'em?

...uh, and does anyone know who owns the café by the 'item' shop? The one with the chairs outside? I ... can't see 'em anywhere but I think I kinda owe 'em some cash.
I just... didn't exactly have anythin' else I could use, here...

Good and bad. Depends on what you think is useful.

[ Casual chatter? Not really of much interest to Carolina. But the network had its uses. ]

Holds files for people who've since left. They call that 'waking up' here. Doesn't seem to delete what they've written in the past, though.

[realmenknitplushies]

'Waking up'. I guess that makes sense, with everythin'... kinda. Okay.

[He nods.]

[guerriera]

It's as close an explaination as we can manage right now.

[Headtilt.] Any questions?

[realmenknitplushies]

[Thinking for a moment-] Nothin' off the top of my head.

[guerriera]

[ Suit yourself, kid. ]

[She nodded at the doors to the hotel.] Moogles should have a spare room, settling in shouldn't be too hard. Don't have to stay there forever, though.

[ She began to walk away, heading towards the stairs that lead down to the portal by the Second District fountain. Lela paused to run up and rub her face happily against Kanji's leg, purr at his spirit, and then skip after Carolina again. ]

[realmenknitplushies]

Thanks. ... Uh, catch ya around.

[He gives Lela one last scratch as her owner heads on her way, and heads on into the hotel himself. Right. Time to make himself at home.]

[guerriera]

No doubt.

[ There's a two-finger salute cast over her shoulder before Carolina vaults over the wall down into the square and steps over to the portal.

It doesn't occur to her until later that she never mentioned her name to Kanji. Oh well. He'd likely learn it soon enough. ]
