Via a sky bison, in midair, after about an hour overflight over the city, getting their photos taken by people in airship gondolas who presumably have the Diqiu equivalent of Twitpic and Instagram on their phones. The lightningweb sees everything.

The desk clerk was updating his little sister Emily Wong about the presence of two notable guests for the society page beat which she works.

They were driving around in the city for two days in an open top car with a woman with long pink hair. Corwin's write-off-able as a Water Tribesman with too little sun (or maybe Foggy Swamp Tribe, but he hasn't got the accent or leaf hat). Utena's an entirely unique creature. You can spot her halfway down a city block with ease! :)

Yep! :)
