They are instructed to return to their own places. Within five minutes, they arrive at the station of Orithea.As they enter the city, it becomes clear that everything is bended and skewed, the city has a completely different architectural style.  However, at the station itself, everything is straight and orderly.  In the Malice Lands, magic behaves strangely, but in this city, magic functions normally.  Morgoth has heard of a museum in the city and sets off to find it. At the museum, he is nearly persuaded to join a tour of the Malice Lands to see "magnificent relics," but he is warned just in time by someone that it’s all fake—a tourist trap.  Red goes in search of Ottavia. He speaks to her using sign language and invites her for a drink. However, Ottavia says she’s tired and goes to bed. Red decides to drink alcohol instead. Red goes on to drink some alcohol. He notices that the entertainment here is far more subdued than what they are used to.  Claudia and Damavik go shopping. Claudia buys a shield (7050gp) that doesn’t need to be held.  Bree invites Red and his companions to join her at the Effervescent Cub. Morgoth also heads to the club after his museum visit.  Boone arrives shortly after, with a lady at his arm.Verzubak makes an announcement: "Owners of this bar, you give us a drink, and we’ll give you a toast!"Boone leaves with the lady.  Red and Morgoth follow them and sit quietly within listening range. After some time, Luc and Ottavia walk by, arm in arm.  Boone eventually heads to an inn with his companion. Red and Morgoth follow and decide to also have a drink. They then heads back to the hotel.  Meanwhile, Aurelius follows the Griento family. This family attended a puppet show until 8 PM. Afterward, they visited a tower for the view and then ate at a restaurant. The children were misbehaving, but the parents danced together before they all returned to their hotel.  Damavik and Claudia visit the night market to shop. As they arrive, they hear Elanor screaming that she is being attacked. They see the man in a long coat that they encountered before, running away.  When they ask Elanor what happened, she shares the following story:  Elanor went to the night market and bought various items, including potions at an apothecary. There, she noticed she was being followed by a man in a long coat. This man started reciting a love poem to her slave. He then tried to pull away the slave’s veil. Elanor tried to grab an item, but the man in the long coat grabbed her wrist.  Elanor is relieved to have run into Claudia and Damavik. They take a detour back to the hotel.  They try to find the man in the long coat on the train but fail. However, they do find Malia in the train’s cargo wagons. She says she’s checking if anything has been stolen but claims that everything seems to be in order and that she hasn’t seen the man.  When everyone is back at the hotel, all the fire (lanterns, etc.) around them suddenly transforms into water. The group is startled, but the locals remain unfazed. Apparently, strange things like this happen often, and the residents are used to it.</blockquote>
