[Roberto will tell you what he does not remember doing: changing clothes, going into a Gateway to another world, somehow obtaining new clothes and a weapon? And the device in one hand blinking a cheerful touch me up at him is not helping improve his mood any.

He’s tried circling around the Chaos Gate for some time now, staring at it, thinking that it somewhat resembles a Gateway but. He’s already tried walking closer, into it, and nothing’s happened. Does he have to find a Wanderer in this world or something? (It does not even occur to him to use the relic, of course. He is suspicious.) His eyebrows are furrowed with deep displeasure and there’s a scowl fixed on his face.

He shoves the relic in a pocket and goes about exiting the building wherein the Chaos Gate is contained. He stares at the city and the landscape before him, frowns some more, and heads toward the bridge. Either way, whether it be just outside the building, the bridge, or in the square of Mac Anu itself, you may find yourself victim to a jarring]

Hey, you! [because what are manners when you have questions.]

[doggedness]

So, you-- Did you get here the same way, then?

[shininghero]

If by same way you mean without notice, with a new set of clothing and this-- [He holds up his Relic.] --in my pocket, then yes. That's how it went with most people I talked to.

[doggedness]

That's what I meant, yeah. [Hrm. Great. At least it's not just him, though that doesn't make Roberto feel much better.]

This happen often?

[shininghero]

I don't know. You should ask someone who has been around longer.

[doggedness]

[Roberto frowns.] So, then, what can you tell me about this place?

[shininghero]

Number one: It's not your world, or anybody else's. The only ones that belong here are the shopkeepers and some other people who are NPCs.

Number two: The items you owned before coming here are probably locked inside the Relic, which you should have on you.

Number three: You've probably been severely de-powered.

And number four: There's no known way back to our own worlds.

I think that covers most of the basic stuff.
