[She means to allow herself a few days to settle, but it doesn't work—the synapses of her racing mind keeps the rest of her nerves jumping so she's got to get moving, she's got to get going; sneaking between her new apartment and the kitchens in an attempt not to catch anyone's attention isn't enough. So today, she's out wandering.]


A: Training Building
[She's tentative about entering buildings, but people have been going in and out of this larger one all day, and the door's been left open; it must be public. Eventually, Sayaka meanders on in to see what all the fuss is about.

Curiosity gets the better of her as she peruses the equipment. She brings one of the light swords to a scrap wood target well away from any other goings-ons; she doesn't trust herself enough to go waving it around with other people nearby.

With a yell, she lunges forward and swings the sword at her target. WHAM! With a swift spin, she slashes the sword against the target's other side. Another holler and a twirl, and she slices the splintered wood.

Though not quite graceful outside of her magical girl form, she's certainly effective—and given the state of the target, more powerful than her fourteen-year-old self gives the appearance of. For what might be the first time since she's gotten here, Sayaka allows herself the slightest smile of triumph.

B: A Donut Tree
[At first she wasn't sure how to take the whole "there's literally a donut growing on a tree here, like, an actual tree, and an actual donut, an actual whole bunch of donuts good god" thing at first—but y'know? Things could be worse. This is weird, but it's a highlight.

She sits in one of the lower branches of a tree near the monument, munching on her snack and observing passer-bys. Anyone whose glance might linger on the new girl sitting around in the donut tree receives a slight smile and a tilt of her head of acknowledgement. If it lasts, she doesn't even wait until she's done chewing to speak to them.
] What, want one?


C: Skyway Bridge
[As the day's gone on, she's noticed people coming and going across the bridge to the Skyway. But why? She hasn't gone back since she arrived at the Bastion; it's no witch barrier, but it's dangerous out there.

She lingers by the end of the bridge. When someone comes to cross it on their way out of the Bastion, she steps towards them.

Hey. Are you going out there?

[He's completely oblivious to how he must look right now, which is progress for him.]

Yeah, I know what that's like. [Though he's perhaps having a better time than others due to him not blindly accepting that his world is gone. He gestures at the donut tree as best he can.] There's definitely some stuff to get used to here.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Not even when they're growing on a tree in defiance of all logic and science known to man?

Outta the three? It makes the least sense.

The land's apparently drawn to shards, Cores, and the amulets; it's like a magnet attracting paperclips. That's how the whole Bastion actually works; the Monument is like an electromagnet holding the land together as long as it has enough power. It at least makes some kind of logical sense, even if I don't know enough about physics to explain how it works. But there's no logic in a tree producing pastries.

[At 14 Rob wasn't paying that much attention in class either, but he was also getting some of the highest marks in all his classes so he's probably not a good yardstick to measure that age bracket by.]

Paarthurnax? ...I'm not sure why, but I've never thought of him as being weird, even though from my point of view he's a mythological creature. Probably has to do with playing games and reading stuff with dragons in them.

The idea of parallel worlds and other universes still makes more sense to me. But if you haven't talked with him yet you should, he'll probably seem less weird then.

He doesn't bite.

[...]

Unless of course you've been shampooing with barbeque sauce. He really likes barbeque sauce.

He's a person. He's just not in a human-shaped body.

[Deadpan:]

...Please don't try and slay the dragon. No one will be happy no matter how that turns out.

Just making sure. For all I know you're from a world where all dragons are evil and slaying them is every citizen's duty.

[Still not looking amused. Or anything, really - he hasn't been emoting very strongly.]

[Rob makes a sound in the back of his throat halfway between a hiccup and a chuckle, because he has a hard time imagining Zuko needing to be rescued from Paar. In fact, he's now picturing the two of them putting on a play (with stereotypical princess costume) and being incredibly unconvincing because neither of them have even remotely the right personality for a fairytale princess and dragon. And now you're picturing that too.]

As far as I know our resident princess and dragon get along just fine, but if anything comes up I'll know who to call.

So does this mean you're a knight in your world?

[It's not immediately obvious how seriously he's asking that question.]

[One's bad at expressing himself, one's bad at asking follow-up questions regarding the obtainment of magical powers. They Fight Crime.]

We've got a princess, but there's no royalty or really even any official leaders here. Zuko's the crown princess in her world, but she doesn't make a big deal about it, not that titles like that really matter here anyways.
