"Yeah, that's true. I'm not positive if you're allowed to live in the park."

Mm. Well, she'll wait and see.

"It's just I think if it were allowed somebody'd probably be doing it already, see?"

Most people can't get comfortable in a park as easily as she can, but yeah, that makes sense.

"It's not like a normal park, it doesn't rain or get too cold 'cause we're indoors however they fiddle with the ceiling."

The ground's still ground, though, and there's no place to keep things if you have things to keep.

Doesn't really matter; if it's not allowed it's not allowed and she'll figure something else out.

"The council'll get to me today about it most likely."

All right.

Does he know if they're going to try to make her go to school?

"There's a school here, yeah."

Okay.

"It's mostly for monster kids after they get to be about ten years old, since the others can go to normal school once they get their medallions."

All right.

"I was born human so I don't know much about it, sorry."

That's all right.

They can talk about something else now.

"Yeah, okay. Do you need anything like a change of clothes or a toothbrush or whatever?"

She's going to want a shower eventually, but she's good for everything else, she can just make it.

"There's a little gym, it's got a shower and it's public. The taxes to live here are wild, and then even wilder 'cause the monsters get subsidies, so it all winds up falling on people like me, but we got you covered."

Thanks.

"You want me to show you where it is?" he asks, when he's finished his omelette.

Sure, that sounds good.

He shows her the gym, which is very small and not at all designed to be appealing from the perspective of a pedestrian walking by. He points through the entrance to the sign indicating where the showers are.

Cool. Is there anything else that she should know where it is? If there's a library she could find out whether she can make a studfinder that works.

"There is, it's just down this way -" He shows her the library.

Are there computers? Can she just use one?

There are two and she can, only one is in use at the moment.
