Good morning! I'm very confused by all of this, so I am hoping somebody will help me?? My name is Lakshmi, I just arrived here this morning. I landed in the fountain!

English is my second language, so please forgive me if I get something wrong.

What is this place? Is it magic?

((OOC: Yep, it's Khan. He's posting anonymously from a computer somewhere in the city. Any attempts to track his location will be met with subterfuge and false trails leading nowhere. All replies will be in text.))

Hello, I am Jem, I know this is confusing.

Where are from Lakshmi, what is your first language?

Text

[nooniensingh]

Hello, Jem! I am from India, and my first language is Hindi.

[silvering]

I am no help here, my first language is Chinese. Your English is good.

You've been brought to a place outside of your own universe.

[nooniensingh]

Oh. That is...odd? I'm not sure I understand, please.

[nooniensingh]

Hello, Clary! Thank you for answering.

You say we? How many people are here? Do you know?

text;

[cupio]

not an exact number. there's a lot though. i just haven't counted.

[nooniensingh]

I see. And is everybody able to talk here like we are?

I hope that you were able to dry off Miss.
Are you familiar with magic??

text;

[nooniensingh]

[Ah. Now we're seeing some results.]

I am dry, thank you!

I cannot do magic myself. Isn't it a story? Magic cannot be real, yes?

[Who wouldn't try to help a fellow ESL Cityzen?]

There is a kind of magic that is real here. Maybe it is only physics that no one understands.
My name is Pavel Chekov. It is good to talk to you Miss Lakshmi.

Hello, Pavel Chekov. It is nice to meet you.

Where I am from, all magic is either part of the gods or demons. Is it either of those doing magic here?

[indecent_butterfly]

[How curious...]

Did you miss the Welcome Center then? It is right by the fountain and they are pretty good at noticing when new people arrive.

[nooniensingh]

I did see it! And I was welcomed, but a lot of the news made no sense to me, so I was directed here to ask more.

[indecent_butterfly]

Really. How interesting.

It makes no sense to most who arrive here. Do ask your questions.

[valentineluke]

As a recent arrival, you won't have to wait long for assistance.

[nooniensingh]

I am already being assisted. People are very kind!

[valentineluke]

Best not be too trusting.

[nooniensingh]

I will be cautious, thank you.

PERMAVIDEO » thought this would be fun c:

[olduvai]

Magic's the quick answer, sure.

permatext!

[nooniensingh]

What is the slow answer?

[olduvai]

Someone went and fucked with science. [ john, honestly. ] To explain that would be the slow answer.

There are plenty of helpful people here.

Hello Roman, I am Lakshmi. I can see that there are lots of very helpful people, yes!

[ooc; Ahahaha. Nice!]

Yeah. Say, if you need one person there's a lady at the Welcome Center. Her name is Penny. She knows how things work as far as like...getting a feel for everything. As much as you can. I still don't even know.
