There's an alley surrounded by buildings of stone, metal, and wood. The pavement is stone and very uneven. The air smells of foul things that aren't just garbage or sewage. The alley connects two larger streets where pointy-eared humanoids with brightly colored hair walk or ride flying constructs. There's a sign with a picture of a person in red armor and a caption in an unfamiliar alphabet.
He can keep doing this all day and he will until and unless he thinks of a better way of attracting the right kind of attention.
"I doubt that would have worked. Alleys would probably not be a very good place to be a mythical Shadow."
The subtext in this place is pretty confusing and Voluminous Vocabulary is not nearly as helpful as Share Language but the worst thing that can happen if he excuses himself and stands in a dead-end alley is that he will feel stupid, and that's not very bad because it objectively doesn't matter at all. If everybody's done with the water for now he'll let himself out and check out the alley situation.
It takes some doing to find plausible dead-end alleys; most of the streets are actually through streets and fairly broad since most of them accommodate two lanes of flying vehicle traffic. And it's probably not one that dead-ends into a wall of the Krimzon Guard fortress.
There is a dead end near the city wall where there's a bit of graffiti depicting the baron's emblem with a jagged crack in it and a hammer hitting it. (The propaganda device he has to pass to reach that alley is saying "Loyalty will be rewarded! Death will await all others! - The dark eco inside you will eventually kill you, Jak. Its destructive effects cannot be stopped...")
Who the heck is Jak. Probably not important. Man, this baron sounds incredibly stupid through translation magic, maybe he's more eloquent if you can understand him directly.
Eventually a short-for-the-species (but taller than Blai) teenager and an orange ottsel duck into the alley. Both of them look at Blai kind of blankly.
"And a fine morning it is, isn't it, Jak? Hey, what brings a guy like you to a place like this, huh?"
"Yes, like this. Create Water." A little rain shower between the three of them.
"Of course you’re just showing up now. Wouldn’t you know it, all that work we did to get the water back on was completely pointless. I want a refund."
"For the last few days, yes. I've mostly been working at the hospital and they don't talk to me very much."
"My planet is called Golarion. I had a teleportation accident with some kind of monster I didn't recognize."
