Day 28: Germaine Street

Rhode didn't want to have to let go of Allen, not ever. It could be forever before she was able to be with him again! But the nurses were persistent in moving her off the big yellow thing, as was Allen for getting away from her. Even outside of the building, people were just determined to keep her from being with him! It wasn't fair!

Once off the bus and shivering just slightly from the crisp fall air, Rhode was handed a small booklet of what the nurse called "coupons". It took some explaining, but Rhode was eventually able to understand that the thin pieces of paper in the book were supposed to be used like money here. She wasn't at all accustomed to buying things for herself; that was supposed to be the Earl's job. When Rhode expressed this problem, the nurse only gave her a sad smile and patter her in the direction of the buildings.

"Why don't you go find something fun to do? There's a toy store just around the corner there. Don't worry about being alone though, we're all here to keep an eye on you. If anything happens, just come get one of us," the nurse explained, nodding to the staff members that were set to parole the town for any problems their more unruly patents could cause.

So, they were all going to be watched even though they could roam about freely? Rhode took a look back towards the yellow things but was unable to pick out Allen from the mess of patients. In a few moments, she probably wouldn't be able to find him at all or for the rest of the day. Should she just resign herself to that for now and use the small bit of freedom to her advantage? Being with Allen was important, and a lot of fun but...

She glanced down at the coupons again, smiled up at the nurse as best she could, and gave a quick, "Okay!" before running off as suggested.

A small bit of freedom was bound to make her feel better. Maybe she could use it to remind herself of how she was supposed to handle Allen Walker, an exorcist. This town did have a similar air to that of the Rewinding Town, after all.

"I'm not..." She knew a lot of different ways humans organized communities, but as with all her knowledge gained or stored as the Book it was a bit different from actual experience gained while Awakened, which for her consisted of an endless series of apocalyptic battles.

But she offered what she could regardless. "It's post-industrial, so there probably isn't as much craft and manufacturing as you're used to. But people have the same needs: food, tools, shelter, diversion... only the particulars will be different."

"Between the two worlds I've lived on, I've seen a lot of variety in technology levels," Raine said, interest not going down in the slightest. If Kratos ran into them, he would probably take one look at her and find an excuse to be elsewhere... "The buildings I've seen so far here haven't been anything unusual--at least, structurally--but if the transportation methods here are anything to go by, this should still have at least a few things I haven't seen before."

She would never like it here, but she could at least have some positive experiences along the way. And even if they didn't see anything of interest--there was always the bookstore!
