[She's settled in a bit more, gotten a little more used to the idea of being stuck on one world. However there was still a bit of a problem. She could use corridors to get around without going outside in theory, but she barely knew this place at all. It was a problem.]

Does anybody know where to get warmer clothes? The last store I went into asked me to leave.

[Sure it was the place that she'd dropped into to try to warm up just after arriving but one of the things she'd heard by now was that relations with the locals were... strained at the moment. It was all a little over her head but she got the overall meaning of it: don't expect to be welcome.]

The Hotel can exit into any one of the five Sectors. Do you have any juulan yet?

[needmetoo]

Oh.

[That's... the currency here right? Now that she's thinking about it, and given the other comment about Munny not being accepted, she vaguely remembers something like that being mentioned after she'd gotten here.]

No, not yet.

Re: text;

[denyamenti]

That probably didn't encourage the shopkeeper to let you stay.

Do you need some?

[ His juulan is all stolen from the kedan themselves, so he's not especially attached to it. ]

[Everybody stop offering to give her things]

Well yeah...

But I can get some myself, once I figure out how. Are there Heartless here?

[Then again Heartless usually drop Munny. Hm.]

Re: text;

[denyamenti]

There are a number of people here who could fit that description, but most are polite enough not to call them that to their face. You're a presumptuous little one, aren't you?

[ He's going with "little one" simply based on the 'speech' patterns shown in this and the other texts. ]

[That's- yeah that reply ends up getting stared at for a few moments. If they were face-to-face or even just voice there'd likely be a lot of stammering. But there's clearly a misunderstanding here, and it's one thing she can easily respond to.]

The Heartless aren't people.

[There's a pause there. How does she... really describe the Heartless? It's the first time she's realized she doesn't really know, outside the information the Organization told her, what Heartless really are]

They're sort of like monsters, I think? There's all kinds of them, and they come in all different shapes and sizes and colors and things. Back home... they were attacking the worlds and the people there. I fought them all the time.

[And there wasn't a world she went to that didn't have them.]

Re: text;

[denyamenti]

People can be monsters too, you know. Unless you only consider "people" what falls into your definition.

[needmetoo]

That's not what I meant!

[She's starting to feel a bit needled. He didn't even know what her "definition" was. How by all she's ever been told, she and her own friends don't even fit it.]

Re: text;

[denyamenti]

I know.

[needmetoo]

What's your problem?

[She is very near just leaving this conversation to tell the truth]

Re: text;

[denyamenti]

I've offered you help finding your way around, and money if you needed it, and I'm the one with a problem?

You're the one who started defining what things are and aren't. If you didn't want assistance, just say so next time, and save someone the trouble of bothering.
