Who: OPEN!!
Where: Pisces Ward
Summary: A newcomer to Hinoto-Ri finds himself quite curious.
Warnings: Beware of derp, maybe? Will edit as needed, of course.
[Good evening, Pisces Ward. Today, among the crowds of people roaming the streets, is one bespectacled man, seeming to be perfectly normal save for the thick gloves he wears on his hands and the limp to his step.]

[Despite the initial shock of waking up somewhere that was not home, Jack finds that this place, new though it may be, isn't so different from his hometown. So, what better way to get acquainted with it than by exploring?]

[Feel free to ask if he wants a tour, bother him for being clueless, or just say hello -- he's new, after all, and looks to be quite approachable!]

Yessir. [Weh.]

I am uncertain as to the details but I believe some kind of... [... Okay Spock speak isn't gonna work here.] Time works oddly here in relation to the worlds people come from - that's the best explanation I've been able to get, Uncle.

... I see. [The most thoughtful of faces, right here.] That sounds awfully complicated.

Have you been well? Kept out of trouble?

[UNCLE PLS.]

As well as can be given the circumstances - I have stayed out of trouble for the most part, though Hinoto-Ri tends to enjoy causing people trouble regardless.

[Memory swap pls.]

And you?

I've just gotten here, so I'm as well as can be expected. Just... disoriented, yeah?

Understood. That is about...how it goes, it seems - have you been to city hall, yet? There is assigned housing for the Visitors - that's people from worlds that aren't this one.

[In other words, yay not sleeping on the street!]

Could you... point me in that direction? I'm a little... ah. Clueless.

[HE JUST GOT HERE he doesn't know where anything is.]

Ah - understood. I had assumed - wrongly - that the welcoming committee had already arrived. It is this way.

[TO CITY HALL WITH THE DERPS. /o/]

[TO CITY HAAAAALL!! \o\]

You've only been here a few months, and yet you've memorized how to get to important places already?

Goodness, you're quick on the pickup. It would have taken me years to get familiar with a new place...

It is more that I was lead to it as soon as I arrived, myself.

....Also, this is the Pisces Ward if I remember correctly. City hall is not that far away.

... Pisces Ward?

[... Uh. How does shot locations?]

Do you have a map handy?

Not a physical one, no. Everything here runs on technology.

[Noooooo she isn't in any way 'v' about this.]

Devices called COMPs are distributed to all visitors on arrival, though apparently part of the device is at city hall. ... They probably have a better map there too, but just in case...

[Use COMP, bring up map. :|b!!!]

... Oh. Hm.

[That's good to know.]

...all of this sounds awfully complicated. How do I know that I'm not dreaming?

The arm-pinching test should suffice for that.

[Literal answers are literal. :|b]

Worth a shot, I guess...

[Pinch.]

Owwwww--!! [And now he rubs his upper arm, looking like a hurt child.] ...okay, not dreaming. Ow...

[Oh for crying out loud.]

...That's...going a bit overboard. ... Are you all right, Uncle?

You said the arm-pinching test would work...!

[He's fine, just being a big baby.]

[Or acting the part, anyway...]

Yes, it does, because one is not supposed to be able to feel pain while dreaming. ....So...I suppose that means you're awake.
