Let's give Isabella's fancy dress its share of the credit here! She tries not to move her wings too much and sticks close to Xander and Lucy, looking for any promisingly-labeled buildings. She will settle for a general store but a library or a transit hub of some kind would be better.

If there's any kind of library or transit hub, it's not immediately obvious. 

Lucy spots a general store before any of them spot anything else and makes a beeline for it, only going slow enough that Xander and Isabella won't have any difficulty keeping up. 

"Excuse me," she says to the young man behind the counter, "my friends and I are extremely lost. Could you tell us where we are, and how we might get somewhere" more civilized less backwards where someone can explain things "else?"

The man behind the counter blinks. 

"Really really lost," she elaborates helpfully. 

"Uh, you're in the township of Willowgrove on Beaumont," he says.

"Beaumont is the planet?" 

"...Yes," he says slowly. 

"Can I sell you some pearls for some more normal currency?" asks Isabella.

"Pearls? Uh, sure, but we don't normally get those around here--I don't know what price you could usually get but I don't know that I'll be able to match it."

"Yeah, I understand, I won't unload all of them, but they're not as liquid as I'd like."

"Fair enough. Credits or plat?"

"Half and half," she says more confidently than she feels, handing over two pearls.

He counts out a handful of bills and then a stack of shiny white coins. 

"Thank you!" She pockets these.

"Is there anything else?" 

"Do you know how we could make our way to somewhere more, uh, a city?" Lucy inquires. 

"The nearest city is New Huntsville, ma'am, but are you sure you want to go there? Cities are..." he wrinkles his nose. 

"Cities are what?" 

"The air is terrible, ma'am." 

"Oh." She glances at Isabella and Xander, who presumably actually need to breathe air. 

"What makes the air so terrible?"

"Oh, the factories all spew horrible garbage into the air," he says, waving a hand. 

"All the cities on Beaumont are industrial?"

"Well," he says, cocking his head, "Not New Dunsmuir, but that's way out on the ocean." 

"Do you have a map we could take a look at?"

"Of the planet? Probably, let me see..."

"Thank you."

He finds a large paper map and spreads it out over the counter. "Does this help?" 

"Can I hold it for a sec -"

She copies the map in a quick and dirty fashion onto the inside of her sleeve.

"- yeah that helps, thanks."

"What other maps do you have?" 

"Uhhh, map of the local property lines, map of the continent, map of the local microclimate surveys, map of the 'verse..." 

"The Verse?" 

"Yeah." 

"...Can I see that one?" 

"Sure, if you want." 

"..."

"How about that, thanks -" She copies this one too, other sleeve.

"That is a lot of stars," Lucy hisses under her breath so that Xander and Isabella can hear her and General Store Guy can't. 

"...five?" says Xander.

"I mean, you don't usually see stars orbiting other stars like planets! I think! Maybe it's different for stars that aren't people. I mean, I've heard of binary systems, but..."

"Yeah, I don't know, could be astroengineered that way but that implies a hell of a tech level this place isn't otherwise displaying much of."
