They saw a bunch of "large" women walking around the town, as well as some normal-sized men. They came to the conclusion that, in this universe, men and women were just radically different sizes.
"Well, as long as we're here," said Joana, "we may as well find somewhere to stay."
Blake agreed to that plan. Joana picked him up, put him on her shoulder, and started browsing the town. They saw a building that said "Hotel of the Town of Tintoretto Leon" and walked in. Upon entering, however, Joana realized something. "I don't have any money!"
"You don't, eh?" called a voice behind them.
She wheeled around, almost dropping Blake in the process. She saw a man, smiling, holding a Mahjong board.
"I will play the boy in Mahjong. If he win, I give you money. If I win, you two leave town and go to one of other towns near here. Bit different. Got it?"
"Well, we're no more at home here than anywhere else," figured Blake. "Sure, I'm in."
(By the way, Zebar is a town where the females have legal possession of the males, and Devoid is a town where the males actually have legal possession of the females. Don't ask, it's a strange country.)
