[sometime after the suns had come out again, Glitch had returned to the brain room, placed his hand on the glass tank holding his other (better?) half, and then curled up at the base of the pedestal to sleep the sleep of...someone who hadn't slept well in a very long time.
when he awoke, he was elsewhere. namely under a bridge near the clinic in ( Read more... )

I think so, too. Oh--right, the shop. This way! The plaza isn't that far from here.

Well, you might find it within. They leave our old clothing in the shop, most of the time. Why we have to search for it when they bring it over, I don't know.

Well, here we are. I can show you where to find an apple after this, if you want. The grocery store is pretty close by.

ooc: mind if I do a little time-skip to get the nitty gritty of shopping out of the way :D?

[Once Glitch has found what's his and is ready to depart, Terra leads the way yet again.]
The best part about being here is that we can take whatever we want. There's always more, and money doesn't exist. So, everything's free. I guess it's their way of compensating us, or something.

[ Glitch had outfitted himself in new boots, trousers - grateful to no longer have holes in the knees - and a button-down shirt. much to his amazement the racks had also produced his most precious possession: a once elegant uniform coat in the Napoleonic style, the tattered tails reaching his ankles, the shoulder seams split where the epauletts had been ripped from them, sleeves slit to the elbows and closure hooks long since torn away. the mangled remains of the intricate braiding were the same dark yellow color of his wings. ]

The Welcome Center takes in people until they settle in, but it's easy to find a place to live here. Just claim any empty apartment or house, more or less. Though...some people don't like it if you claim a big house to yourself and don't share it.

[ apples, red shiny lovely and probably juicy apples. he wanders over and picks one up. ] It's been a long time since we've had these in the O.Z., y'know.

[ there is a quick, triumphant smile, but it vanishes almost as soon as it appears. ] I've just gotta...get back so I can help everyone.

I understand. My world was torn by war, too. So much went wrong, and needs rebuilding...and that makes it all the harder to wait here. But I'm sure you'll get your chance to help, when you've returned.
