THE LONELY CITY: DAY 3
I am Princess Leia of the royal House of Organa, future queen of Alderaan. I have read your note and listened to your "voicemail," and still have questions.

Please respond.

	It is sort of more the type of scenario one picks up by going through it. But the people here are not so bad. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I would ask that you please try to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well. So I arrived last week and it more like a quasi-abandonned and overgrown university. Supposedly before that it was an abandoned city overrun by monsters. This week it appears to be a city. This week it is... this place we are now.

It appears the setting changes, but we arrive as we are now each week. So if you came with, say a package of gum, and eat it, you'll have it back next week.

	~~My blaster will be fully char~~ So my datapad will be okay then. I didn't have any foodstuffs with me, but now I'm thinking I should have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you can stock up here. But there were some people pretty set on feeding people last week. So you should be alright here on that front. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnhowtofall 2022-08-08 04:58 am UTC (link)
	So then we ought to make sure we have enough supplies for rations then. What sort of foodstuffs are here? I am not familiar with anything in my pantry, though coffee seems to have a similar smell to our caf. What's your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-08 05:19 am UTC (link)
	I'm Jon. Are you from somewhere different from here? (And when in doubt just watch television in a new place and eat what I see there.) Yeah I am uncertain how we can take anything back to Derleth since we're not on the campus? But it's a smart plan maybe putting it in bags we have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My home system is called Alderaan. I'm from the planet of the same name. Our buildings are far less... square. And don't look like concrete or ferroconcrete. I only have one pack that's about 3/4 of the way full. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-08 05:40 am UTC (link)
	That's fairly common for Earth cities though they're usually a little less neon and generically named. Did you come with anything useful at least? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnhowtofall 2022-08-08 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	Like this building seems to be called Apartments. A blaster, a datapad, a pair of boots, and my dad's droid R2. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-08 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, at least it's pretty clear what a place is before you go in. I'm not in Apartments. But a house on Neighborhood Street so rather the same tone I suppose. Pick up a water bottle and a knife I guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnhowtofall 2022-08-09 12:39 am UTC (link)
	I'm going to have a look around with Obi-Wan and R2. See if we can figure out where the city ends. Both would be good to have. Do you have protein packs here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-09 12:51 am UTC (link)
	What did the card you get say? Not specifically I don't think. You can get nutrient dense protein bars for supplementation or meal replacement. Or protein powder that can be added to liquids. Something like nuts or jerky would be cheaper if you want something not requiring refrigeration if I am following correctly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Student. I've already finished all my lessons with my tutors, and I've had my Day of Demand. I'm not going to school! I work for the Senate. Yes, not needing refrigeration. Things that you can carry in a pack easily. [...] Do you have caf here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The coffee you're discussing sounds like it would be similar. If it's beans you have to grind them, then add the grounds to simmering water until it foams. If it is fine enough you can just drink it, otherwise you need to filter it?

Same. I think their enforcement powers are fairly limited here anyway. Though admittedly I have not tested the false guardians this place gave me.

Skip tomorrow and I'll help you sort out food.

	I'll have to try it. Hopefully, it compares. I need my morning caf. This place gave your guardians? I don't plan to go at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-09 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Good luck. There me be some alterations you can make if it's close. At least in this city it did. Which is weird. I've been on my own for near a year now and even before it wasn't like this. So then it sounds like you're free? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is there mintea around? You're on your own? I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-09 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Mint tea's a thing. Sort of an herbal infusion? It's not so bad. But you get used to portable, non refrigerated meals. There's a Waffle House near apartments. Meet you like 9:30? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnhowtofall 2022-08-09 02:40 am UTC (link)
	It's served cold, usually in a frosty glass. I imagine so. You're okay with droids? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryofset 2022-08-09 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Ok. Maybe there's something like that? But not super common? I guess so? Never met one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnhowtofall 2022-08-09 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Okay, well, R2 only speaks Binary so I'll have to translate. (Reply to this) (Parent)
