In that case, Target.

Where Bella looks at all the items and wants to know what many of them are and winds up with socks and underthings.

Permalink

Klaudia is surprisingly good at explaining the things!

Permalink

Which Bella appreciates very much!

Also she has not had lunch and breakfast was some trail mix she had in her purse, uh, what's a good way for her to get food around here.

Permalink

There are a handful of restaurants nearby! Klaudia and Daphne get into a minor argument over whether to go to a nearer chain fast food restaurant (Daphne) or somewhere farther away but more morally defensible in every way (Klaudia) until Daphne brings up that they should let Bella pick and Klaudia reluctantly agrees.

Do either of them happen to have menus with pictures?

Permalink

They both should, but the fast food place will have pictures of all of the things and the morally defensible place will only have pictures of some of the things.

Permalink

She'll take the fast food place.

Permalink

Klaudia grumbles a little but is sympathetic to the logic.

I will be delighted to try the nicer restaurant when I have more of an idea what kinds of things people eat here.

Burger! Fries! These things are oddly familiar!

It's weird how similar your world is. Aesthetically, I mean, it's a huge coincidence, not just the fact that you did the stuff without science.

Permalink

Yeah, I'm noticing that. It's still very different but it's not like Valinor different.

Permalink

I wonder if it's a good or bad thing for you two that these places are so different from Valinor.

Permalink

I don't know about her. I'm actually kind of fond of the just-like-an-Imperium-town-only-science thing this place is doing - I might be weirded out by someplace that was very Valinor but not my Valinor. Like, the gardens of Lórien are great, but I miss people.

I don't think Idaia ever visited the gardens of Lorien, what're they like?

Permalink

You can osanwë anything in them and they'll change for you. Fizz in the river, sticky note leaves, bubblegum flavored tree sap, whatever. Whoever you're looking for is right around the corner and if you want to be alone there's nobody around and the ground will go soft enough to sleep on and it's always exactly the right temperature.

Permalink

Wow. And here I was impressed by the edible grass.

Permalink

Oh, all the plants in Valinor are edible, but in Lórien they also taste like whatever you want. It can get texturally weird, it's still all plants and if you're really in the mood for a candy bar you start with tree bark...

Permalink

They don't have chocolate in Kilaiuossa, Idaia'd never had it before Valinor.

Permalink

I don't think Valinor had found the cocoa plants at the time I showed up, but my plane's got chocolate coming out its ears.

Permalink

It has some advantages. I was trying to reinvent them all and have everything wonderful all in one place. Safety and not having to do your laundry by hand! Chocolate and Quendi-quality architecture! Helpful Maiar on hand for all your problems and the concept of therapeutic ethics!

Permalink

We don't have to do laundry by hand here!

Permalink

Awesome, I can deprioritize inventing the enchanted launderer.
