He nods, and wanders off to check on his snakes and start on reading.

Cam resumes reading and drinking coffee and occasionally making stabs in the direction of turning the character set into a full character encoding.

Hungry snakes are his next visitors - Shiromi is indeed capable of rearing up to wrap around door-knobs - and then in the morning everyone except Sasuke seems to wake up at a fairly decent hour.

Cam makes adjustments to the building to allow the snakes to get around, and he feeds them too.

The snakes are highly appreciative.

What charming snakes.

What would his visitors like to talk about this morning? (And has he got any messages?)

He has a message from the Queen's office, detailing where they cleared out a warehouse for centralization of non-perishable foods. It's in the same port city they entered from.

The visitors would like to talk about fifty different things, but they did put together as detailed a timeline of recent history as they could without a giant stack of references and a larger department, if he wants to read that, as well as titles of history and geography books and publications that are minimally censored.

He appreciates the timeline and the titles! Do they have an idea when would be a good time for him to go fill up the warehouse?

"If you've gotten the letter, they're probably ready whenever. Daytime is more typical, midday or after is popular for any outdoor transactions because it's warmer, though there's always someone awake."

"Makes sense." Is there a list of desired items?

Yes. Names of foods and other supplies (non-food supplies are mostly things like 'vitamin pills'), as well as method of preservation and quantity of each thing.

What a nicely organized list. He will talk to his guests about fifty things and then lay out a lunch buffet for them and shuttle into town to fill the warehouse.

Guests are mostly curious about how the internet impacted international cooperation, government censorship, spread of information, literacy rates, education...

For the port city: there's someone available to lead him to the warehouse, and it's already got areas for things marked out. There's some teenagers watching him curiously, all dressed somewhat similarly, but they don't make any effort to call him over.

The internet may or may not have merely dovetailed with preexisting trends about those things but if it did anything it was helpful for all of them!

Cam waves to the uniformed teenagers and starts strolling through the warehouse making vitamins and such off his list.

One of the smaller teenagers, with purple hair shoved messily under a white fur cap, thanks him while he's on his way out. They're staring at their feet, mumbling it, but they're really grateful about the help with winter supplies.

"You're welcome! Can I get you anything else before I go?"

"Ah - shinobi apprentices do pretty well, so I don't need much... I guess, like, some fresh fruit would be really nice?" the purple-haired one says.

"I want that new graphic novel from Fire," a blue-haired older girl says, naming something that sounds fiction. "No one imports books unless they're like super popular or you're rich."

"Title the book," says Cam, handing the first kid a fruit basket.

She does so, listing also the volumes she's missing.

Bundle of manga.

The other teenagers mostly want similarly foreign works of fiction.

Cam will fill all these orders, tail a-wag.

There's assorted excited thanks. 

"You're welcome!"

And he returns to his apartment building.

No one's gotten into any ninja fights. Sasuke seems to be at least human-interacting again, and is curled up in a chair with both snakes draped over him, listening silently to Karin and Sagami Mariko talking about Uzushio sealing methods.
