[ When you're 35 people stranded in a foreign town of medium size, it really is bound to happen that you run into one another when exploring. This means that as soon as Ponta spotted Hung on the S.U.P.E.R., this has become a two man expedition. Arcade trip, arcade trip!!
It's during the day, so luckily it seems less crowded than could be. ]
Man, I don't usually go to these. Kind of a fun change of pace. Does anything like this exist on Terra?

They do, yeah! The nomadic city I'm from, Lungmen, is a lot bigger than Oceanside, at least from what we've been able to get to? So it's got a colorful collection of stuff, this included.
Nomadic cities are built on giant vehicles. I've never seen the specs before, personally, for any of the cities, even if I've seen them up close from the ground. But they just up and move without a need to rebuild, and they can actively keep going because of the Originium that provides them power. It helps to avoid any disasters and makes evacuations less dangerous for people if the whole place can do the evacuating instead of there being mass panic in the streets.
There's not really many sedentary cities anymore on Terra, either, honestly. But that's a win/lose kind of thing, because the people that do live in them aren't super well off.
[ This is... baffling. Like, oddly cool, but also deeply baffling. ]
Huh. That's pretty nifty, to be able to move a whole modern city just like that. In my world, if there's a natural disaster and your city's in the wrong place, then... tough luck, right? It can get ugly fast.
We have a lot of natural disasters on Terra, so we kind of had to adapt? [ they don't state how often iirc beyond "much more often than on earth" ] It definitely used to be a much bigger "tough luck" situation. A lot of Catastrophes have completely wiped places off the map... and we've lost a couple nomadic cities, too, because they didn't act fast enough.
[ scratching his cheek a little as he thinks about it... ]
You guys are sedentary on Earth? City-wise, I mean.

Yeah, totally. There's a few nomadic people, but they live in like... tents and stuff. Anything big is firmly anchored to the ground, pretty much exactly like Oceanside here.
[ Whether or not that is always a good idea is up in the air, but hey... not everyone has mobile platform city options. ]
Honestly, prinnies and destruction aside, this place really feels like just any other town to me.
Besides being in one place, yeah, I'd say Oceanside is pretty similar to some cities I've been to. Smaller than Lungmen, at least as far as I can tell. But pretty similar.
[ destruction and prinnies included, for him. ]
I wonder what world this city is on... [ frowns ] Or if maybe we'll see any people like that? It seems mostly human to me, so far, except for a few of us new arrivals.
