~ Canyon City ~
The red hot sun continues to assault the dry land with its midday radiance. From beyond the layered rocky outcroppings, dozens of sturdy, square adobe buildings can be seen on each side of the dusty unpaved road. Only about 2 or 3 passersbys can be seen walking around out here, though further down the road might have others.
Fannie looks about in awe.
"So much has changed... but so much has stayed the same... "
The building that was identified earlier with *azure's help is not on this stretch of road.
What will you do?

Elsey continues walking. There's no time for sightseeing.
They could be anywhere.
For some reason, she feels a strange sense of dread.
"We have to find them...We have to..."

Seth nods and continues walking quickly down the road. As nice as it would be to actually explore this place, he just doesn't want to leave Kat in untrustworthy hands.
He continues silently for quite a while, intensely focused on his goal. He has to find Kat. There is no other option.
As Seth makes his way onwards, he checks the area for any clues.

Some of the folks walking around take a moment to stare at the party before resuming their daily rounds, a few speeding up their pace to get out of the way.
Fannie seems a little embarrassed at the attention.
"I have a feeling some of us may have gone a little fancy on the outfits... at least we aren't wearing actual trash though..." she glances over at Niki, wearing the duct tape cape.
There appears to be a fork in the road. One way leads towards a bustling market, and the other, towards some slight larger and more elegant buildings than usual. Elsey might find the market to somewhat resemble it's contemporary counterpart
Fannie seems to feel right at home, even despite the vastly different time period.
"So, which way do we try first, town hall or market district?" Fannie asks the others in the group.

Nak continues to float behind the group without much care for his surroundings, he makes sure he gives each passerby a side-eye look for good measure.
"Where horn-god probably going? Horn-girl should know other pantheon"

Elsey seems a little relieved with the familiar locations.
"We need to find a two story building with a sign that had...a moon in a puddle? Hm..."
She thinks for a little bit. The info she has isn't really isn't much.
"Niki, can you tell me more about what the building looked like?"

Niki takes out her glasses and checks the picture for a moment, hoping nobody notices them too much.
"well, it looks pretty boxy... pretty much like the rest of the buildings around here... there's wood support beams and stuff on it I think? Two floors, no roof access... nearly all the windows are wide open, some of them with curtains but not many... Door is wide open... Man, is there a way for us to check our current coordinates around here? ->"
She takes them off and puts them back into her pocket. She doesn't particularly need them just to walk around town, she's not that near-sighted.
"it's kinda tough to tell which way it would be towards. Really, it could be either one from the looks of it. ->"

"If all else fails, we could just ask someone..."
Elsey, slightly disappointed, ponders which way should they take.
This is harder than she expected.

"I'll try asking somebody." Fannie walks off towards the nearest person and attempts to get some directions.
"Salutations! Dear stranger, would you happen to know where to find moonpuddle? I'm supposed to meet somebody there."
The passersby looks at Fannie sternly.
"A greenhorn like you wants to find the roughest tavern in town? Defeat me in a duel and I'll consider you worthy of knowing its location." The stranger bares their fangs at her and hisses.
Fannie jumps back, clearly intimidated. "Eep!" She nervously looks to the others for help.
"Don't tell me you've never encountered a venom biter. You have much to learn, greenhorn." The stranger laughs.
Fannie has never actually met a venom biter in her own time. Those who do have that trait tend to get surgery to get it corrected or removed or whatever. At least those that can afford it. Venom biters tend to be treated unfairly by police and government figures so they're more often than not found outside of towns.
"Guys... what do I do? Should I duel?"

Seth examines the venomous stranger. Since when did some temporics have fangs and venom spitting abilities anyways? He then looks over at Fannie. Clearly inexperienced in fighting. What if she got bit? What would even happen? But, this person has information that they need.
Seth steps up in Fannie's place.
"I will duel you instead for the location of the tavern." He puts up his fists in preparation, though his timing is a bit off. "Do you accept my challenge?" He glares rather unsuccessfully with his foreign eyes.

Niki facepalms. "Can't we just ask somebody else who we won't have to fight? Seriously, you're in bad enough shape already, Seth. How are you supposed to keep up with so many factors working against you? -> "

"I accept your challenge. You're not from around here, are you, rich boy?" The opponent grins, fangs gleaming in plain sight.  "I'll make sure you learn your lesson this time around." the opponent takes a battle stance and waits for Seth's first move. Fannie looks back and forth between them, still somewhat nervous. "...oh great. The pact is sealed. They're contractually locked into the duel until one of them falls over or admits defeat. I hate duel rules..." |

Seth blindly rushes forwards and throws a punch going down from the side, transitioning to a quarter turn.

Niki kinda zones out and accidentally timeskips everyone involved past the entire fight.
Everyone in the area is vaguely aware that the past few minutes happened, though it's hard to remember exactly what happened during them, except for a couple key details here and there.
"...huhwhat? did something happen? ->"

Seth is breathing heavily, barely standing and with a bitemark on his arm.
His opponent is knocked out on the ground.
It appears he's won.
The surrounding crowd that had gathered seems quite surprised and enthralled that such a beat-up out-of-towner was able to defeat the venom biter in a fair fight, and even after getting bit! Applause can be heard as Seth stumbles to find somewhere nearby to sit down. He's gotta wait for his opponent to get back up, so he can get the location of the bar.
