Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
Josh had heard a little about the festivals that occurred with each season in Caido; he'd been interested, but he thought there were more important things to investigate and so had put it to one side. He'd been looking at the portal entrance at the bottom of the Spire for a while, thinking about stepping through, but he'd seen beings that had gone through portals more than once...they usually didn't come out the same way they went in.
But these portals were a new thing entirely than ones on Earth, weren't they? People had told him they went through them regularly with no issue. If he wanted to investigate the entirety of the world he'd been placed in, he had to get over it and risk it eventually - he took a step into the void.
Finding that there was a realm between the portals was interesting and Josh thought he might return to this place later for a further investigation. He'd entered with the intention of going somewhere else though, so he continued through a random door, which as it happened led him to a beach. Torchline, he'd heard? His face lit up as he remembered this was meant to be the place with mermaids. God, he'd pay to have a scale to test on.
Walking along the beach hoping he might run into a stray merman on the beach he instead found some kind of gathering; food and lights and people stood about. Confused because he'd thought it was not yet time for the 'festival' he'd heard about he stood on the outskirts and watched, quietly studying each person in turn and trying to ascertain what they were doing. Maybe if he thought he could go unnoticed enough, he might steal some food.

And I bring a message for mankind to hear
