Look, Lucy's not one to judge based on fashion. Among the Otherworlders, she tends to stick out a little as one of the few from a technologically advanced world; her half-bodysuit, her off the shoulder jacket, the visible lines of tech embedded in her skin. But this guy--
What is he, the Grim Reaper or something? She almost mistakes that mask around his neck for a skull, which would really complete the picture.
Crouched down at the water's edge to fill a gourd of water, Lucy's lips thin as she's asked a question. She flicks a gaze over her new company, impassive, and weighs the pros and cons of informing him. Fuck, she doesn't even know that much herself. He seems like he might genuinely care, but she knows better than most that first impressions don't count for shit.
She'll tell him the basics, she thinks. If he's new, he deserves to be given at least a little bit of guidance. This place can be confusing, being thrown right into the deep end.
"This city is built on cooperation," she replies, after a long moment, gazing down into the glimmering water thoughtfully. "But there's people here who don't like that. We met one a couple months ago: she and her boss wanted to expose something about the government, and... take over the tech here, maybe. Before that, we heard whispers of a woman who wanted to disrupt the city. Now the spirits are talking about a woman who wants to be the authority over all the magic and spirits. I don't know if they're all connected."
