Close Encounters of the Furred Kind [Completed]
Character(s): Remy and Ahnassi
Content: What happens when a world-class rat chef and a rather feline monk/thief run into each other?
Setting: Vanaheim area, around Actua Are
Time: Early afternoon
Warnings: Remy is NOT for lunch!
Despite the unusually pleasant reception he'd received at the gate, Remy continued to stick to the shadows as he made his way further into the city. Even if people could understand him now, it didn't mean that everyone was likely to be friendly to a rat. Not to mention, he preferred to not get stepped on, even by accident. Some humans just didn't know how to look where they were going...
He spent an hour or so in exploration, even taking to the rooftops for a brief period of time just to get an idea of the sheer scope of the city. It was larger than he had expected... He hadn't been able to imagine a domed city the size that this one seemed to be, but the proof was right before his eyes. He was a little surprised that he'd never heard of such a place. While he wasn't exactly well-traveled, he had spent a good deal of time reading and had always liked to think he knew more about the world around him than most others of his species. Apparently there were still more than a few things out there in the world to surprise him. He realized that he hadn't even gotten the name of the city yet. He wondered how far he was from Paris, and how he had gotten from there to here in the first place.
Eventually, the rat settled down into a quiet corner and began to examine the second item of interest - the journal he'd been given at the gate. He'd taken a brief glance at it right after coming into the city and found it to be an electronic device rather similar to some kind of personal organizer. Initially, he'd given it little attention besides the brief lookover. He'd seen that sort of thing before, although he'd never really had the chance to use such a device himself. Now he tried to get a little more familiar with the device. It might be possible to use it to his advantage, perhaps even to contact his friends and find a way to get back to Paris and his beloved restaurant. It was worth looking into, at least.

It was like a horrible nightmare. One filled with traps and poison and cats (or at least Khajiit). The rat had been interested by the thought of exploring the city earlier. Now he was terrified that he might be stuck there permanently. Of course he'd been a little upset when he'd first found himself there. Who wouldn't be? Like most people, he had been shocked to find himself so far from home. But up to this point, he'd always assumed that there was SOME way back. Difficult to accomplish, maybe, but not impossible, especially now that he could talk... He'd just hoped that he could arrange a ride back to Paris from wherever on earth he'd ended up. But if he wasn't on earth, then things had just gotten a whole lot more complicated.
Maybe Ahnassi was wrong. Maybe there really was a way back, and she just didn't know about it either. It made sense, at least. If there was a way to get TO the city, then there had to be a way to get BACK, right? He just had to find out how... Even if it was difficult, it wasn't necessarily impossible. With this thought in mind, the rat was able to calm himself down a little bit.
"I don't get it... Why was I even brought here?" he wondered aloud, even though Ahnassi had just told him she didn't know why anyone was brought to the city. "I mean... I'm just a rat... Most people don't even bother with us, unless they're trying to kill us..."
