After Shyra's old friends and coworkers had gotten themselves registered for conversion, it was time to learn about their new home. While most of them would be working part-time, at least, at the Meat Market, they were still uncertain whether or not it would be a full time career. Fortunately there was both a tour arranged for them and free registering for online college courses.

"Animalia's Great Hall is basically the community center for both Animalia and their colonies." said their tour guide, "They have travel brochures for their colonies available, and is also the home of the Animalia Media Public Relations department or PR-MD. It's primary purpose is to maintain contact with the rest of the world, keep the celebrity newsmongers out, and make sure that things are done in a way that doesn't say 'Okay, here's how you make joining Animalia popular.'."

"Claw Coliseum is Animalia's health and fitness center." said the tour guide as they came up to it, "From bodybuilding, track and field, and swimming, you can find, and train here. It's also home to UFC-A and the Mesozoic Fight Club, when they have enough to compete. It's also home to the International Animalia Convention and the Animalia Summer Events. It's also home to Animalia's Acclimation Classes, where converted Animalians learn about their new forms and what they need to watch out for."

"Golden Mountain Dojo is where martial arts and self defense is taught." indicated the tour guide, "From learning your new form's strengths and how to use them, to basic self defense, it's all here in Golden Mountain Dojo. It's also planned to be the center of Animalia's upcoming Asian neighborhood."

"One of the newest parts of the tour is Habitat Homes, Animalia's largest temporary housing/apartment complex for Animalians." said the tour guide. "It's allowed to be a temporary home for newly-converted Animalians until they either get enough money to pay for both their deposit and their first month of rent, or get a home of their own. And while we're on the subject, anyone who gets regressed by a double dose is allowed to remain on their SSI until they get an income of their own, but be ready to expect the government to check up on you regularly so that you're not committing fraud."

"Lover's Woods is now declared the largest honeymoon campsite in America." said the tour guide as they passed the campsite. "Whether human or Animalian, newlyweds come here to celebrate their new lives together. It now has the potential to surpass places like Penn Hills Resort as a Honeymoon Capital of the World."

"The Burrows is where most of Animalia's burrowing mammals, etc. live." said the Tour Guide. "According to geological findings here, there was a large volcano during the Mesozoic era at least. Most of the land here is made of tufa rock, making it easy to build the world's largest underground apartment complex. During the 'construction', there was a large, previously untapped vein of gold discovered. Because it's still getting mined, it's now qualified as a super seam. Most of the gold goes to the government, but some of it becomes tourist jewelry, and even some of the medals for the IAC."

"And here is where Shyra works, and is also one of Animalia's central attractions, The Worldmeet Glade Hotel and Casino." said the tour guide as the tour came to an end. "It's the only place where a hot desert, an arctic wasteland, a rainforest, and a savannah among other terrains existing in relative harmony. It's also home to the second-largest collection of Prohibition-era alcohol in Nevada, and the Meat Market, the only Animalian-majority-at-least strip club. A lot of Mob-era Las Vegas 'relics' come work here part time, so don't be ashamed to do so as well. There is also the world's only natural hot spring spa, which also supplies most of the geothermal energy for Animalia, which goes to prove that there is some remnant of the prehistoric volcano still going."
Shyra's coworkers were a little dizzy for how much there was to do and live in in Animalia, but the tour helped them learn that the Meat Market wasn't the only form of employment. While they were still undecided on what they wanted to become, they had some general ideas.
