There was a figure slumped by the wall, their white and black hair disheveled, their glasses on the grass beside them. Their small suitcase was over their legs, their backpack dangling from one arm. After a moment they groaned and lifted a hand to their head. "Did I get hit by a truck or something...?" They mumbled.

Eyes opening, they looked around. "Well that's not good. I can't afford to be hallucinating now." They picked up their round lensed glasses and checked them before putting them on, then fished a phone out of their pocket. "No bars. Of course. I need to write an algorithm that will allow my phone to find signal from anywhere in the world. Of course, I should still be close enough to get signal anyway, hallucination or no. So... what is actually going on here...?"

"Well at least that is an option. I think should probably start with the blue and green and work from there. At least that is two colours rather than just an over abundance of just one. though if you mixed from both, then perhaps they can at least work together well. That's... better then I was afraid. Is there a shop where we can get better decor as well as electronics? and a currency exchange?"

Rren nodded and waved the way in the correct direction for the room. "We came upon some shops. But the selection is a bit, erratic. As to currency, we mostly need to note what we take so the leadership left can cover it. I have mostly been borrowing from classrooms and leaving notes of which dorm room to find them in. I ah, I imagine when those who live here return, I will probably have returned to where I was last and will not need them any longer." If they were wrong, well, that was a problem for future Rren.

"I... see. Well, I'm sure I can find something with my skills to earn some money. I'd rather not borrow anything unless I'm sure I can pay it back." They went with them.

"If you are willing to assist as you are able, I am sure it will be enough. I have helped with cleaning for instance. It is not as though we had any say about ending up here."

"I am sure I can find something in my wheelhouse that people here need to have done."

[cheep_soongbird_knockoff]

Rren nodded. "I do not doubt it. There are... not many people here in the scheme of things, and I think there is a lot left undone just because there aren't enough of us."

"That badly short handed?" they asked, wincing a bit.

[cheep_soongbird_knockoff]

"Only a few people who were local to this world remain. So it is mostly those of us who appeared here. And. Yeah, we are pretty short handed."

[ubuntu_programmer]

"Well, I am used to working in small tight knit groups, at least. But if it is something like sanitation... That's not going to be a strength of mine. I'm a tech person."
