[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]

This? Why?

[His eyebrow lifts questioningly.]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

That's how it knows where to take you. Needs words, and this thing has 'em all.

Y'also have to use it to take someone with you. 'S ridiculous.

[doggedness]

...it needs words. [Flatly, doubtfully.]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Yep. "Rising Returning Princess" for instance. You've gotta wonder why they don't just name the places.

[Oh you try doing that with upwards of 10,000 areas.]

[doggedness]

Sounds like they got lazy.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

No kidding.

An' about the other thing I said, could you get yours out quick?

[doggedness]

This? [He fishes the Relic out of his pocket with a somewhat doubtful look.]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[She brings her own somewhat close to his.]

Now you can get me any time you like. Some reason if you're going with someone you have to let it know, too. It's a pain.

[doggedness]

Is that so? [Roberto frowns down at the relic.]

Tch. This place really doesn't make sense.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Exactly. This is supposed to be a port, and there are no ships sailing, and no explanation for it. It's not the only problem but it's a big one.

[doggedness]

Ships? What do you need one of those for?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Well, I'm a pirate. It's my business to know that kind of thing.
