Lianelle feels one of the cheap polyester fluffy blankets and isn't going to so to buy it but will pet it for rather a long time and make a face.

[Sorry. I'm plenty rich at home for blankets and sweaters and lamps that change color, just.] She's going to buy a cheap pack each of T-shirts and underpants and socks to cycle through, she'll deal with being in the same pants and bra all week.

[Yeah, it makes sense and the blankets aren't as important.] 

Lianelle can stop petting them... now.

This all adds up. She does some mental arithmetic. [I thiiiiiiink I have enough for a phone and a charger but this would be basically just for entertainment purposes and is arguably not worth it and it would be more expensive than any of the things you wanted, what do you think.]

[I don't really know what that is?]

[A phone will let us read and listen to and watch stuff that people decide to make available for that, which is a lot of stuff.]

[Will it let us follow what's happening with the rest of the tournament?]

[...if somebody posts it sure. But I doubt they will if the normal people can't notice it.]

[A lot of the times fights are big enough people will notice something is going on, they'll just come up with different explanations for what it is, like a small earthquake or something.]

[Well, then I guess we'd see hints in the news, though they'd be iffy to interpret.]

[It still might be a good idea to keep track of.]

Okay, can she get a month of unlimited data (free trial is fine if she can get it without a card on file) and a solar charger with her remaining money?

Sure, that can fit in their budget. Lianelle didn't really need the blanket - May is already very soft and warm 

One does one's humble best.

They and their shopping can go collect what they left behind in the hotel and get some initial app setup and downloads done on the wifi there and get a map to see where a good place to camp out might be.

It turns out they are in San Angeles, a city in roughly the same place as the Los Angeles May is familiar with, but with a different layout and some additional land. There's a state park bordering the city not too far from where they are - maybe 25 minutes by car.

How illegal is it to camp there?

Technically against park rules but some people online say they have done it and no one complained.

Good enough. Uber exist here?

Yep!

"Anything I'm forgetting that we should do before we head out?" she asks, filling up their water jugs.

"I don't think so? But the sort of things you are getting are different from what I'm used to. I'd bring hunting or fire starting things but actually I think I can do both of those without needing anything."

"The food is all edible cold, and we'll be warm enough in the sleeping bags, and if I want to hunt something it won't see me coming with my knife but since I don't plan to cook I don't intend to do that either." She caps the water jug and swipes the hotel writing materials. "I should take that shower if I'm not otherwise getting one all week. Do you want one, you had a bit of a workout earlier."

"Sounds nice but I don't need one if it's expensive or anything? You could discorporate and recorporate me for only a bit of magic, and I'd come back clean. Also do you have a way to see things at night - fires are useful for that too."

"....the shower is free with the hotel room, I'll show you, in here. I have a dungeoneering flashlight and the phone lights up too." Bathroom. She demonstrates how turning on the shower works.

"Oh that's really neat! In that case I'd like to take one."
