[Erwin has never been the kind of person to sit back and just take things as they come. He's not a passive person and never has been, and so when he wakes up still in this world, he takes to the streets. He'll spend a few days exploring, gathering intel, and just generally finding out what's in the city.]
[The discovery of the library delights him; the food in the local diner is incredibly rich and salty to his palate; when he finds the local high school, he stands in front of it for a long time, studying the building and thinking. Otherwise, he wanders the city on foot, being generally charming to anyone who speaks to him, robbie or otherwise.]
[You never know what people might reveal to you if they don't consider you a threat.]
[He wishes he could get the car in his garage running, though. He could cover a lot more ground if he could figure that out.]
B: Christmas Village
[Erwin attended the tree lighting and has a small, aluminum tree in the front window of his house to show for it, but it's the Christmas Village that really catches his interest. Not so much the Village itself, but its ability to appear through any door. Every time he winds up there, he makes note of which door led to it, and then goes back to the suburbs to try that same door again.]
[There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, which frustrates him, and he's a bit testy after several trips through the various doors and being no closer to solving the mystery. Still, he's trying to continue gathering intelligence on it.]
Excuse me... what door did you use to get here?
C: the Gala
[Erwin is much more comfortable in green than red, and manages to somehow make the checkered, dark green suit look good. He hasn't bothered to pin up his empty right sleeve, which ruins the lines of it a bit. He won't argue if someone more fashion-forward offers to fix it for him, though.]
[Parties are, he knows, a great chance for mingling and building intelligence networks, so he roams around the ballroom, exchanging small talk and flashing a smile here and there.]
Quite the party, isn't it? An interesting welcome to Santa Rosita, certainly!

[And if your character happens to be a woman...]
Would you like to dance?
