The old topic

"We're not stranded.  We're just... Delayed."  Rubbing his chin for a moment, he continued.  "Though I need to be more careful about what spells I cast.  Especialy if this place isn't used to magic.  Don't want to scare the locals with our strange apperance.  More then necessary at the moment."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat shrugged. "Those buildings look 'magical' to me, if you take my meaning. I doubt they wouldn't have magic of their own.. but we wouldn't want to tip our hand, would we?

We have to assume that someone is currently looking for us, regardless. This is not gonna be fun."

Carthrat sighed. "Nope, no fun at all. Well, let's go scope out the city. May as well land inside.."

[CyMage]

"Well, wheter they got magic or not, we're still strangers in a strange land."

Slowing down, Cy brought out the binoculars again.  "Let's find a semi-secluded spot to land in.  I don't think they would take it too kindly if we landed in the middle of their mayor's tea party."

Finaly stoping, he brought the binocs up to his eyes and scanned the city.  His main targets were any visible air defences and parks.  He did take note of any possible military or civil services.

CyMage -

Your scans of the city indicates a few things of note:

There seems to be a uniformed police/military force around. They wear breastplates, greaves and gloves of blue water, defying logic as it stays in armor shape. They also possess blades of the same watery material.

The layout of the city(Build on the downside of a tall hill with waterways) provides excellent natural defense from the bottom.  A force coming from your direction could massacre this aquatic burg, however.

The stone of the buildings appears to be a 'rockier' variant on dark blue quartz. It looks fairly sturdy.

There are few roads beyond foot paths in the city. From the large number of boats, it looks as if water provides public transportation.

The general citizens of this city wear little - A few wear full pants and shirt, but most of both sexes wear nothing but shorts. As you progress through the city, you begin to understand why: The water gushing from the underground is quite warm, and it the sun beats on this town with a surprising fierceness. The people of the town are tanned, any skin tone below nut tan brown is a rarity. Hair colors range the spectrum, but watery shades of blue and green are prevalent.

You finally land at a small, secluded, grassy lot away from the water.

"Well, this place is definately full of magic.  Not exactly any type I'm familiar with, but magic none the less."

Adjusting his clothes after the flight he stood relaxed.  "Do we try to blend in or just look for someone in charge?"

[Carthrat]

"I think we might want to find out a little before we go looking for leaders. I say we blend in.."

Carthrat nods to himself..

[CyMage]

Cy sighed.  "So what you mean is that I blend in and you go invisible again?"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat snorts. "As I recall, blending in was more fun for you than staying invisible was for me."

[CyMage]

Cy shrugged.  "And more dangerous too.  Though I could let you fit in... Problem is, you might fit in too well."

[Carthrat]

"Define 'too well'."

[CyMage]

"Oh, you just become one of them physically and mentaly.  Though I think you could fight off the mental changes for a while."  Looking at Rat, he asked.  "So, want to do it?"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat blinked.

"What, exactly, are you about to do? Laymans terms, hmm?"

[CyMage]

"You will think that you are one of them.  You will think that you always have been one of them.  Your previous life might seem like a strange dream, if you even remember it."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat winced. "Great plan. Do I need you to reverse the change or will I turn back through time?"

[CyMage]

"It's rather permament.  You would need me to change you back.  And that's not a guaranteed thing if you change mentaly."  Cy smirked.  "Want to try it anyways?"
