When: October 14th and forward.

Warnings / rating: Nah.

It was really rather astonishing how quickly Cain could adapt to things. He even surprised himself sometimes, what with the fact that he had literally been pulled into another world with a universe-threatening war and only a few hours after the fact he was on the streets looking for more information. Part of it, he acknowledged, was simply that it hadn't sunken in all the way yet. Regardless of that fact, it was always smarter to push forward than stand still when the world was still spinning around him.

Early on, it was easy to see that he was pissing off some kedan just by being around and initiating conversation. Cain started to pick his questions more carefully, but it wasn't going to stop him; kedan population seemed way higher than foreigner population and that was where he was going to need to get gossip or info if from anywhere. He wasn't above pestering some people on the street or trying to get shopping done if it looked like he might get away with starting a conversation.

Hell, Cain was even willing to stoop to the old classic: "Hey, do you have the time?"

Comments

"That sucks," Akito comments, entirely honestly. Metal may remind him more of home than the other districts, but that doesn't mean he's all that fond of it. "The homes are more modern there, but the cost of living is higher. Not that it really matters too much right now."

Another shrug, and he begins nibbling on the tough piece of bread. A bite for himself, then a smaller bite to pass over to Bird, who decides to grab the crumb in one claw and climb up to Akito's shoulder with its beak and free claw; hiding in his hair before continuing to eat.

"Wouldn't you say the cost of living is higher anywhere for a foreigner?" asked Cain, mostly sardonic. He wasn't particularly worried about funds or what he would do to keep living where he was placed, nor was he all that perturbed by the neighborhood. It wasn't going to be the worst place he'd lived and nothing ever had a chance of beating his personal best. He'd live there same as anywhere else.

With a tilt of his head back in the direction they had come from, he continued, "So, best place to get some good business or just the closest?"

[akito]

"It's all higher, but there's less high and more high. And it's all really annoying." He never had to worry about money back home, since he had such an excess of it. If he wanted to - and was going to live long enough for it to matter - he could likely live out the rest of his life in retirement if he budgeted it properly. Here though, Akito only managed to squirrel enough away to last him for maybe another six months.

"Safest business that I know of. There might be better places to go, but here's most convenient for me."

"At this rate, doesn't seem like it would be worth it to try and move," Cain said with a small grimace. He didn't fancy trying to get himself set up anywhere else. If Metal turned out to be a complete dud, he would charm his way in somewhere and it wasn't as if he was a stranger to living on the streets, either. So what if it had been a few centuries since the last time he had done it?

"He the kind of guy you need references for? Or is me being a foreigner enough to actually get something outta him?"
