[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.]

...
You know what? He'll just point to her wings, because yes you have them too.]
This is normal in this village.
[Action]
Yes, she stops that in a hurry. But SO MUCH MENTAL KEYSMASHING]
How--?
[Action]
[his own wings shudder slightly, as if aware it's being spoken about.] You need to be careful with them. They are a part of you while you are here and you can die if they are ever removed.
[Action]
--they fluttered. Because she thought about it, or--
--uh.
...you know what, let's talk about something else. She steps decisively away from the mirror, though the colour has yet to return to her face. (though really, given she's so pale already it's not much difference.)]
Does anything about this place make sense?
[Action]
I wouldn't be able to tell you that as anything can and will happen here. It's best to keep an open mind here.
[Action]
...my name is Makie Otono-Tachibana. [Now that she remembers her manners. She still sounds distracted; now she knows they're there, Makie wonders how she ever missed the presence of the wings. They feel so heavy.]
[Action]
How about we move to the living room? I'll make us some tea and we can continue our discussion.

[Lead me out of here like a gentleman, commandant. It's been a bad day. :(]
