A handful of people download it, and then by the time they're in Silver Cross more of them have started doing so in response to confirmations that it seems to open and run fine.

There are a couple of hotels by the train station in Silver Cross; he probably wants the cheaper one. The train station has a convenience store where they can get a sandwich and a cable.

...Well, what's the difference between the cheap and the nice ones? He might want to splurge.

(He guides Wash to the convenience store while checking out hotels.)

The cheap one doesn't do housekeeping during your stay, just between, and doesn't allow animals unless they're particularly well-certified for conduct, and has slightly worse wifi and food. The nicer one has a decent café as its first floor and you can get housekeeping during your stay if you flip the doorknob sign and they have a lower standard of animal training and the reviews prefer the vibe in general.

Hmmm, most of that doesn't matter and Church cares a lot about better Wifi, actually. Can they easily afford a night at the fancy one?

     Wash looks around the convenience store for a cheap wall charger with a decent length of wire, loose-fitting clothes, a fresh meal, some carb-heavy snack foods, and a bag to carry it all in.

With the money from the port coming in, yes, they can afford a night at the fancy one.

The convenience store has long loose unisex shirt-dress-things the adult size of which will go down to Wash's ankles unless he buttons it higher, apparently for throwing on if you have spilled something all over your outfit or something; they come in black and white. The longest available wall charger is about three feet long. The convenience store doesn't have anything hot but there's a stand over that way with dumplings that does; at the convenience store it's sandwiches and snacks. The convenience store will sell him a shoulder bag or a backpack, again in black or white (the backpack is also available in green with black piping, and sky-blue with white).

Wash will buy: the 3 foot charger, a shirt-dress in black, a sandwich and some carb-y snacks, and a shoulder bag, also in black. He'll also grab some dumplings from the stand, pointing at the things he wants to buy rather than having Chuch translate when possible to avoid drawing even more attention than his armor is already drawing.

      Church gets them a room at the fancy hotel and guides Wash there, providing translation via HUD along the way. 

Wash looks around along the walk. What's this part of Silver Cross like?

The train station opens onto a bunch of residential levels on top of commercial. One of the buildings has a big slide from the top of it into the park behind it, which wraps around the building once and has a child whooping on his way down; the same building has an exterior elevator leading up to where the slide starts. In addition to the hotel they'll be staying at, the immediate environs include a buffet, a massage parlor, a pet food store, a supermarket, a post office delivery hub*, a café**, a shoe shop, a tailor, and an electronics vendor.

* In this part of Green, deliveries and mail are sent to one of these unless you specifically sign up for doorstep dropoff, although many people do that for some or all items.
** Literally "drink-restaurant", this type of establishment sells interesting beverages and light appetizer/snack/dessert accompaniments to them. Sort of a cultural cross between a bar and a coffeeshop.

Awww. Wash smiles at the sight of the slide.

Hotel time! Do they need to interact with a person to check in?

There is a person available but if he just wants to buy a keycard for a vacant room from this machine instead he can do that.
