True was startled by the stranger addressing her, though his approach had been calm and careful. "I don't know who you are." The fact must have been upsetting, the way she stated it. She looked from Jake to Nayra and back to Jake, her expression shocked. "Are you... Are you staying?"

"Well, little lady..." Jake answered with a serene smile "I'll have to stay for now, because I don't know what is going on here yet. Also I have to find my special medicine, which might involve some research to do." He smiled even wider "So what were all these odd things you were saying all about, little lady? And whats your name? Mine's Jake." He said, holding his hand out to be shaken

The little girl eyed his hand suspiciously, finally accepting the shake like it was a set mousetrap. "True Chaos Monday. A pleasure. I was just saying that, um... Jake, right? Yeah. They have food that's kinda like pizza over there, it's good. What do you do?"

As Arkaya was trying to make her way through the crowds twice her height, something came out of them and she bumped right into them. She might have fallen back if two strong hands hadn't reached out and caught her. "Whoa!" the voice of the man from the stage greeted her. "Gotcha." The king steadied her on her feet before letting her go. "Where were you going in such a hurry?"

She'd have swatted him with her hands if they weren't so preoccupied with making her clothing more efficient for travel. The thought of biting him also crossed his mind, but she had the feeling her 'new' jaw wasn't up to it.
"I seek an audience," she stated bluntly.

"So be it," he answered her with a nod, never questioning her age or validity. "What do you wish?"

Well...that was certainly efficient. However she was certain not to ask certain... questions so as to prevent failing the theory that this could be a trial by King Surya and her Highness.
"What have you done to my body?"

"Nothing," he answered directly, again without any suggestion of disbelief of her. "Any changes you are experiencing are due to the Songbird."

Ah yes that sounded promising, irony notwithstanding.
"How can I arrange an audience with the Songbird?"

"Ah, that's where it gets tricky," he answered. "There's only so many ways to arrange an audience with a god. The most reliable way is to die, but I don't imagine you're very fond of that route."

A god mainly visitable by death? That didn't sound suspicious at all.
Her tone softened surprisingly, "I would appreciate if you could share the other ways."

The man nodded, smiling, not in condescension, but in understanding. "The only reliable way short of going ... ah ... in person like I mentioned is to ask the guidance of one of the Oracles of the Songbird. They alone hold a direct link to the Songbird without leaving the mortal coil. You can identify them by the marks on their forehead, sort of an interlocking set of lines."

Oh, this wasn't good. She'd gotten a bit lost among all the people after losing sight of the little girl she'd opted to follow. Wandering aimlessly through the crowd she suddenly stumbled upon Arkaya talking to that really good looking guy she saw earlier. "Ah! Uh, there you are. You're kinda...easy to lose in a crowd, ya know?"

From his spot amongst the crowds, he had overheard Arkaya's thorough questioning of the man from the stage. When one of the women that had seemingly arrived at the same time as he had stepped up to talk to the girl, he approached the man with questions of his own.
"Am I to understand, then, that it was this Songbird that brought us here? And what does this Songbird want with us, hm? Why would we be important to a... a god, was it?"

His answer was more than enough, others' reactions weren't that important at this time, she had to search for Nayra. She looked around to regather her surroundings for the other 'Speaker' of this world.
Arkaya didn't have to look far as she appeared to be currently holding a conversation with one of the others. She wasted no time in abandoning the announcer and press the other for further questions.
"Are you aware that you are a Speaker for the Songbird?"
