Namine found the town on the opposite end of the portal quite fascinating. When she had stepped through, her clothes had changed from the blood red gown to one that clung to her figure, leaving her feeling rather exposed. At least her corset was gone? She still felt overdressed compared to everyone else around her and her jewelry certainly looked finer than that anyone else around her wore. And her hair had remained up in it's updo, but looking in a window, she was able to take it down so it hug around her face, the way she liked it.

Justin was refamiliarizing himself with the town. He was amazed at how much and yet, so little had changed. It also felt nice that not a lot of people remembered him. While he liked people, too much attention and recognition bothered him. He parked his jeep in the driveway of the fast-food joint. As he walked toward the entrance he noticed a person that looked slightly out of place. Picking up the pace he opened the door for her. "After you." He said with a friendly smile.

"Oh... um, thank you?" she said, though it sounded more like a question.
She stepped inside, lifting the hem of her dress as all noble ladies did. However, once inside, she saw nothing familiar to her. She thought that by going into a building that she would find something, but she was sorely disappointed. So she turned to the polite man and placed a hand over her heart.
"I beg your pardon, but... I'm afraid I'm lost. Do you know what kingdom we're in? This town is completely unfamiliar to me."

"Kingdom?" Justin repeated before realizing what was going on. "Oh, you're from the Magic Realm. This is Avalon Minnesota." He spoke in a quiet enough voice that it wouldn't draw unwanted attention to them. "Why don't you take a seat and I can see if I can answer your questions." He gestured to a table that was by a window, but far enough away that people wouldn't overhear. "My name's Justin by the way." He introduced himself.

She mouthed the words 'magic realm' and 'Avalon Minnesota' but she moved to the table that he gestured to. When she looked around, she saw ladies seating themselves without having gentlemen pulling out the chair for them. Confused, she seated herself. She could already feel eyes on her because she was the only one in a gown. The other ladies were wearing more... revealing clothes! She could see ankles! And so much of their legs and arms! And they wore trousers!
"My name is Namine Snow of the Snow Trading Company," she said. "I would appreciate any assistance you could give me."

"Nice to meet you Namine." Justin said with a smile. "Do you want something to eat? I always find it's less stressful adjusting to a change when you have food. At least that's how my cousin is." He offered. He could tell that this was going to be a huge cultural shock for her. Not only with having to adjust to a strange new place, but the time difference as well. "And don't worry about having to pay for the food. It'll be my treat."

Before Namine could protest her stomach growled. She had ditched her own engagement party. Her mother-in-law to-be didn't want her eating because she would 'gain weight'. She gave a shy smile to Justin.
"I wouldn't turn you down," she told him. "But is it okay? I... don't have anything to pay you back with."
She wasn't entirely sure what this place was, only that it smelled heavily of food. And that people were exchanging coins and plastic bits that she had never seen before.
