The city around ISO, Mavis, and Reed feels strangely familiar and alien at the same time. The usual sounds and smells an early evening metropolis seem... different in the dusty night air of the Oasis. Piercing through the faint smog, the moon casts an eerie blue light on the buildings and vidscreens surrounding them. Neon signs flicker to life as a couple of food carts set up shop nearby. The Oasis night life is beginning to stir as they head to the "steak" house for a meeting.
