Guess where I am!
[A grey face appears on the screen, surrounded by thick black hair and a pair of cat shaped horns. Two gray eyes peer out from within that mass of hair and a smile beams brightly. The camera pulls back a little to show off the lovely river she's beside and dips and twists as she fumbles to show off the buildings nearby. It would appear she's in the City of Romance but that might only be because there's far more couples walking by than seems normal]
My device finally decided to work! I'm not purrticularly sure where I am but it's wonderful. And it's so bright! I've never been anywhere so bright. And everything is covered in white and it's just--gorgeous. I've never seen anything like it.
[And when words finally seem to fail her, she squeals and spins in place] Oh efurryone home is going to be so jealous. Kurloz and me meeting strange new people!
So--So, where is efurryone? I am here. [She holds up her device and makes a slow circle. It looks like she's near the border of Tommorow and Romance] Directions would be nice!

[The problem is that she doesn't know, and in this new line of work she's made for herself, Codi feels that she can't take any chances. Thankfully she has this useful alter-ego to do reconnaissance with, and this new correspondence to test.]
Usually when I have to ask "where am I" and "how did I get here" I'm not so excited about it.
Was your device supposed to take you somewhere specific, or was random the goal?

(^・ω・^) < I just don't know where in the cities I am.
(=`ω’=) < It seems like a furry big place after all with seven cities in one!
no subject
Aren't seven cities in one place just one big city?
no subject
(=^ω^=) < But they seem very different if you look at them.
(=^ω^=) < I'm standing in one section and it's completely different from the next!
(=^ω^=) < Different buildings, different atmosphere
(^*ω*^) < It's furry striking
no subject
[Play it casual, like she knows what she's doing. The trick is deciding how many questions she can ask before she looks like a complete outsider and starts to draw unwanted attention. For...whatever definition of "unwanted attention" Codi has decided to use here. Just bad attention? Any attention at all? She's not entirely sure herself, but it feels important.]
I think your device and my device are set up a little differently.
no subject
(^・o・^) < Are you stuck in your own world?
(=^・ω・^=) < Mine didn't have the transport button for ages!
(=TェT=) < My matesprit was so disappointed
(=^ω^=) < But I'm sure it will show up for you soon!
no subject
"Stuck"?
You make it sound like I'm being held hostage or something.
no subject
(=^ω^=) < But going somewhere interesting and new is far more fun!
no subject
[Except she can, and will, because dANGER LURKING]
I like a good vacation just as much as anyone else.
But I think most people try to have more of a concrete travel plan than just "I pressed a button".
Unless winding up somewhere unknown is also something you're into.
Did you hitchhike?
no subject
(=^ω^=) < So I wasn't really going somewhere unknown
(^・o・^)ノ < What is hitchhiking?
no subject
Hitchhiking is kind of like what I'm about to ask from you!
Where you are looks and sounds very interesting, but you're right that I can't get there on my own.
Do I need someone who's already arrived to get me there, like your matesprit?
Because then I think you could help me out a lot.
no subject
(=TェT=) < He just happened to be here and it didn't even let me come in at furst!
(=xェx=) < It took so many nights of waiting
(=^ω^=) < But it will just decide to let you at some point!
(=^ω^=) < My transport button just appeared!
no subject
The device decides?
Did the device choose us?
no subject
(=^ω^=) < It is a mewstery
(=^ω^=) < I just wanted to visit this weird place with the weird aliens
no subject
[How presumptuous of her, to assume the disciple knows how the mystery relic works. That would be too easy.]
But don't you think that's interesting?
Why us?
no subject
(=^‥^=) < I mean, you could get all deep
(^・_・^) < Why does anything or something like that
no subject
No, you're right.
Just overthinking things I guess!
I'm happy for the opportunity and I'd like to see it pan out.
[That's suitably diplomatic, right? Sure.]
So what do I have to look forward to?
Is there anything I should have prepared for the trip?
no subject
(=^ω^=) < Someone must know
(=^ω^=) < I'll ask around!
(^・ω・^) < But I just brought a book and a couple pens.
(^・ω・^) < They have food here, I purrlieve
no subject
Do let me know if anything comes up!
Just don't mention it was from me, okay?
no subject
no subject
I don't want to cover up anything useful!
So no language barriers or culture things I need to know about?
Travel guide?
Nothing?
no subject
(^・o・^) < I haven't even met up with Kurloz yet!
(=^‥^=) < I cannot really help meowch with things I do not know myself yet
(=^・^=) < But I don't think anyone will mind if I ask questions?
no subject
Sorry if it seems like I'm grilling you for answers or something.
I'm just really curious!
But I guess you must be, too, so that's cool!
Maybe you could be like
my exploration partner for this place?
Give me some updates on how things are over there?
Until I can go visit myself, I mean
if I can go visit myself.
You and I, I think, we've been given a great privilege.
We should work together to enjoy it as much as possible!
no subject
(^・o・^) < If you give me a few days to get myself all settled here!
ヾ(=°・°=)ノ < It's a little overwhelming
(=^ω^=) < Even just walking in sunlight is so weird!

An alien behind a desk? What desk? Or will a desk magically appear in front of me [She teases, still occasionally looking up to see what strange places are around her] The buildings on the other side were so ...diffurent. These ones are shiny. And it's so bright! I nefur imagined walking in daylight, it's so bright!
no subject
no subject
[She swings the camera around to show off the views he must already know. The shining peaks of buildings and the sweeping height of it. And there, in the distance, the tallest building she can see.] It should be scary but it's not. It's...awe inspiring. Such glare and fierce light...
[It swings back to herself] But where are you? Are you in this part of the world or another?
no subject
no subject
He's far better at reading people than she is after all]
Alright. I purrlieve you. I shall continue hence! To towers of dubious desks. Should I leave you to get on your way or shall we make our way towards each other like this? [She waves the device around, giggling]
no subject
Let us unite just as so, that we may run to one another's sweet embrace, just like within the romcoms of yore!
[He knows what his girl likes.]
no subject
I know, we've been purrted for soooo very long. Ages and ages.
[Hardly any time at all]
Can we do the spinning around part?
no subject
What barbaric beings would forgo the delight of a full mother fuckin spin of greeting one's dearest? Blasphemey, I do preach! Righteously, we shall spin swift as the holy carousels do!
no subject
[ She sticks her tongue out and gives a little wink. How far now? Why is the city so big? So big and so far from where she started. She walks a little faster but she doesn't want to run and be all out of breath when she finally gets to him]
no subject
The walk is still something. He cannot help but babble.]
There is so much I haven not yet witnessed here, my dear Meulin. So much in which I have not yet partaken. Time may pass but wonder ceases not! My matesprit, there is so much. The opportunities are vast before us!
[He walks faster, looker for ways to great his girl all the sooner. He does not mind if it interrupts his breath, for he talks anyway.]
no subject
That city of Romance seemed so lovely and strange, and I know there's a city of night? I think? [Sort of] I want to visit them all. We have purrlenty of time, right? If it doesn't pass at home?
no subject
Oh! I recognize that bit! We are soon to greet!

You're one of Kurloz's friends?
no subject
[She beams and waves very eagerly. Animated indeed.]
Are you one of his new furiends? His angel furiend?
no subject
[She still doesn't know what a matesprit is. But it sounds important.]
no subject
[She beams brightly and gestures wildly at Katherine]
But he has told me about a magic and tattoo furiend! That must be you, Kat. Can I call you Kat? It's so purrfect.
no subject
I don't see why not. Did your love of cats shape your horns?
[Because she hasn't missed that this is like the third cat pun she's made. Does she mention she might be able to become a cat if she set her mind to it? Or does she keep that a secret?]
no subject
Meowbe! I've always liked cats. My lusus is a cat. A magnificent purrbeast. But I think my horns were always like this.
no subject
[She's a lot more coherent than Kurloz, though - which gives her the idea to maybe ask this troll about things instead.]
...What is a "lusus", anyway? Kurloz seemed to assume my dog was one, and I don't know what one is.
no subject
[She beams, unaware of how creepy this might sound]
And lusii are our guardians! After we pupate, we're still sort of small and lusii are our guardians who take care of us until we're old enough! Do you not have guardians?
no subject
[Is there a thing she would have a frame of reference- oh!]
...like a cat, and the adults in our lives take care of us, like your lusii do. Or...like a mother cat, I suppose. Normally, it's our parents, or some other relative.
