"Oh. Huh. Well, I guess that part's useful then."

Oh look here is the top of the shaft, it's a large metal disc of some sort.  Lianelle can move it out of the way to reveal a rather empty city street - the sun is just peeking over the horizon. 

"Oh."

Out hops May. "- first sunrise? Or sunset, I guess I don't know which way is east."

"Sunrise, the ritual would have been at night - that's not it. It's the buildings."

What is there to note about the buildings?

There are modern sky scrapers visible in the distance! Well, slightly less modern than the ones May is used to.

"Oh, we have those on my world too. But I guess if it's been a couple hundred years they'd be new."

"I really like them!"

"I'm surprised you don't sound more old-timey if you last visited the - regular? world hundreds of years ago. ...I hope people aren't freaked out about me having guns, I assume my esper ID isn't any good for it here..."

"Languages typically come with the ritual. Material world works, or regular. I know what guns are but not the local rules about them and wouldn't expect your ID to work."

"I'd just be invisible but I can't reach my partner from here to do anything about the backlash, ugh."

"If we had a specific place to be I could probably get us there before anyone has a chance to ask questions?"

"But we don't. They speak English here so it's possible I'll recognize a hotel chain and be able to explain, I guess."

"We could stick to rooftops while you look? The not insanely high up ones."

"I can't fly right now for the same reason I can't be invisible."

"I can carry you."

"You can fly?"

"No, but I can jump real good."

"...I will bear this in mind as an escape option if someone does confront us but as long as nobody does we can just walk."

"Okay."

Any obvious hotels? (Anybody obviously reacting to a woman in dungeon tac gear walking down the street?)

It's pretty empty but eventually someone complements the two of them on their (obviously from different genres) cosplay.

.......okay. "Thanks! Hey, can you point us to the nearest hotel?"

Sure, most have been a wild convention. Is that sword real?

"Yeah!"
