A delighted giggle escapes her. That certainly solves that problem. She opens the notebook again.

Checklist time!~ Feel free to comment on anything whenever you like, btw.

She flips to a blank page and starts listing.

Goals for Settling In

• Get a transit pass
• Meet Enhancile Guardians
• Get more-detailed information on the state of this world to figure out how we can help
• Find magic lessons
• Find housing

let me see... 

📜Hmmmm...📜
You might want to look up advice for people who have discovered powers here, or something like that beforehand? Negotiating blind can be an issue! 

Getting a variety of interrogable perspectives can be important too! 

I've heard that humans need food? Do you need that yet? 

Definitely planning to look up advice on things like that. Going to figure out some local tech once I get told the official "you're a newcomer to this plane, here's what's up" stuff. Once I've got that, I'll look up a lot of perspectives on things like that.

Don't need food yet. Probably in a couple hours. Likely going to go get some after the meeting is done.

Oh, I saw the Spirit updated my bank cards and whatnot to work in this world, which is very cool. Thanks for that. Did my phone also get updated for local compatibility? (No worries if not. I'll just buy a local phone if necessary.)

I don't think so! In theory, it might be compatible anyways if you check? LIttle things that like are sometimes accommodated well in this sort of world.

She pulls her phone out and takes a look.

Annnnd nope. 

Or there's a detected connection faintly in the distance? 

Annnnd gone. 

Huh. Interesting. Well, she'll just have to buy a local phone. That gets added to the checklist as well.

Looks like a no there. It flickered a bit, but no real reception. Interesting that there was anything at all, though.

Alas!

And after that, she looks out the window as well and quietly snuggles Maya and Hailey (and Ruby and Neo in mindspace) while waiting to arrive.

It's not too long before they let out into brook's station - it's a bit smaller, and more like the ones you remember - concrete and grey, though there's a handful of dancing twining figures wrought in stone along the walls. 

There's another bus much like the previous one to Haven.

And off they go, transferring from one to the other, and then onward toward Haven.

Soon enough, you filter out of the train and into the main body of the station itself. 

Haven's a much larger station - all glass and silver, the central atrium reminiscent of something like Penn Station in her previous world, though there's shops and buisnesses scattered about in a way more reminiscent of an airport or even a mall. There's a few atms visible, and even a small bank peeking out from a corner. A few dozen people meander throughout, going through their business. A vast ticker shows the schedule and the time - 6:47 PM. 

Oh hm. That's... late enough that the Terai center might be closed, at least by the time they get there. And early enough that a phone store might be open. Although, if they handle powered individuals, maybe they're open late?

<Maybe there are public terminals? Or maybe someone here knows?>

Ruby has a point. She walks up to the most interruptible-seeming person passing by in the station.

"Excuse me, do you know roughly how late the Terai Center stays open?"

The first person - a stately looking middle aged woman with brown hair and a dapper suit demurs at the question. 

"Can't say I happen to know off the top of my head, dear." 

"That's okay! If you have a moment to look it up, I'd certainly appreciate it — trying to figure out whether I should go there immediately or focus on replacing my phone first — but if not, thank you for your time."

"Oh honey..."

She fumbles with their purse for a moment - soft suade in pure white - and grabs her phone, flicking through a password then searching for a moment. 

"The center looks like it stays open 'til 9 pm for regular business. They handle a lot of strange things, so there's some wiggle room for that, but they can't just keep everyone in the office all day." 

She pauses for a moment, then glances a bit awkwardly up at Maya and Hailey. 

"A phone is certainly good to have, but I expect they can direct you to one that fits your - more unique needs?"

She smiles lopsidedly. "Oh, you see right through me, don't you? Well, thank you very much for your time looking that up. We'll just head right there, then."

Hailey decides this is a good moment to try a soothing bit of phoenix song, just for a moment.

The song lingers, soft and light and bright. There's a bit of magic in the air and in her lungs, still ready to unleash, in the lyrical lilts and the push of her presence. You can barely tell just from hearing that she's a bird, even if it's easier to emote with avian trills and rumbles. 

The brief moment of song carries a sense of gratitude, appreciation for the assistance, and a hope that everyone here has an easier and nicer evening.

<You should try harmonizing with me some time, since you're part phoenix now and have the voice perk too.>

<Ooh. Good point.>

She smiles lightly, far away and oh so close all together. 

And with that, the group heads onward to the Terai Center, catching their transfer finally.
