[Makie has had the facts of this place explained to her already, by a gentleman in a... fairly awkward situation.
It doesn't prepare her for the reality of a village with occupants like none she's ever seen before. Some of you aren't even human, Luceti. The hell. She wanders the path of the village from Community Building #1 down toward the plaza still in her New Feather dress, just like a gawking tourist, and spends some time staring at the fountain and plaza itself. Uh.
...right. Okay. Time to begin glancing through various shops in her attempts to find the places she was told her things would be. She finds her clothes with a measure of relief, and her shamisen at the item store-- and after she picks it up, she frowns. It's too light. She doesn't need to open it to know she's missing something.
Eventually, she'll find her way into the forge to pick up the last of her things, pays a visit to the Welcome Centre-- and then finally fetches up at the tea shop, which is the most familiar-looking thing here.
...sort of. Never really loses that dazed and confused look.]

[Action] // Never late
Children, maybe. This woman is no child.]
Hello. [She's courteous, but outbursts tend to make Makie quiet. She is trying to work out what the woman's problem is, though.]
[Action] // Damn Skippy :3
[Which is why she holds up the honey blend of tea to the new woman.]
Can you believe this? They put the honey in the tea already, and dried. This is absurd. [She folds her arms and huffs.] Age of Legends, my foot. Why would anyone dry honey?
[You agree with her that's stupid, right? Right?]
[Action]
[Action]
[NOPE. She's done with the honey tainted tea. And totally looking for something else, okay okay.] It's so hard to find anything in these places... [Not really, but she comes from a time/place where you don't find things, you ask for what you want or you let the shopowners get it for you. None of this actually looking for things. She hasn't decided if that is convenient or terrible yet.]
[Action]
[Herself, well. This place is uncomfortably much easier to deal with than home.]
[Action]
What kind of tea do you prefer?
[Action]
[Action]
[Searches about for green tea because unlike honey, that sounds fascinating.]
[Action]
Slightly bitter. But it's light.
[Best she can come up with, yup.]
[Action]
You don't have to add honey to it, right? [... She really doesn't like honey.]
[Action]
[Sounds altogether too sweet to her, she can agree on that.]
[Action]
Are you new here?
[Action]
Makie Otono-Tachibana. I arrived a few hours ago.
[Action]
I've only been here a couple of months... it takes a lot of getting used to. [AKA: she totally isn't used to it yet.]
