Hi. [ _{he's not sure what to say, so he goes with regulation; he clears his throat, his tone going official.} ]

My name is James T. Kirk, and I'm Captain of the Federation starship USS Enterprise, [ _{he falters:} ] not that that... really matters here, I guess. [ _{a half-hearted attempt to return to sounding official:} ] I got here- "woke up" --roughly two nights ago, and, [ _{and it falls apart.} ] I've gotta say, for a city in the middle of what was reportedly a bountiful forest, I'm feeling underwhelmed by the cuisine here. Is there any place around here to get something good? I'll eat just about anything, I just [ _{he laughs quietly.} ] ...can't cook. I can hunt if I have to, but I'd rather go with someone until I learn the basic lay of the land.

Mm, and while I'm here, I need to get a job or something or I'm going to go insane, so if anyone needs a fully-trained starship captain...? I'm your man.

Thanks. [ _{awkwardly, because he's not sure how to end this transmission:} ] Kirk out.

Yeah, I know that. I'm looking for things like restaurants, cafes, maybe -- maybe -- some place that does take out. I don't know what I'm going to do when I move out and I'm not going to make those guys feed me when I move out.

You could ask someone to teach you how to cook.

[Beat.]

If you like fish chowder or raptor steaks, I can give you directions to a few spots, but I do most of my shopping from the market near the town hall.

[barelydead]

Uhh.. Yeah, I could... do that.

[ _{and then he perks up a bit:} ] I'll try anything once. Lay it on me.

[tallymarks]

D'you have a pen handy? The streets are a bit of a maze.

[If not, she'll wait a moment before reading off directions to two different spots, one nearer the center of the city and the Flop, the other up north near the bay.]

[barelydead]

Uhhh-- sure, yes. [ _{but no paper, so he'll be writing this on his arm.} ] Okay. I think I understand.

So there's definitely a currency system in place here?
