[So Somarium, have a Tony who has taken his sweet time doing any sort of Dreamberry post, probably because of the flood and him having to spend so much time settling in prior to it. But anyway, he's got things he needs to ask that can't really be put on hold any longer.]

Okay people of Somarium, a few things:

Number one, where does a guy go to get a

From my exploring I've found that there's a tavern that serves alcohol in the village Espoir.

[She has no idea who she's talking to yet, but she's interested in what he might be building.]

Seeing as how you've been directed to the industrial district for scrap metal I won't suggest that. There are research facilities in each district near the desert but I'm not exactly sure what sort of research they're doing out there.

[A tilt of her head.] What are you hoping to build?

Is it quaint like it belongs on a postcard? I don't want my cosy mental image to be spoiled at all because when I hear tavern it's like something out of some terrible old book with farmers who freeze to death with their sheep.

[Or something. He hasn't actually read books with plotlines like that but they have to exist.]

Research facilities? You'd think they'd actually tell you about the cool stuff upon arrival especially if you're interested in that kind of work. [Research = investing in the future = something Tony is interested in.]

If I told you that might give away my air of mystique but...anything for a lovely lady - I need to get some lab equipment. Nice computer set up, a helping hand or two.

[Although it's very debatable on how helpful his robo pals usually are.]

Not a postcard, more like a painting. I hardly think it would have farmers and sheep freezing to death anywhere near it.

[They most certainly do exist, though they're hardly worth reading for a man interested in technology.]

It doesn't seem like a topic most people would think to bring up around here. Most seem comfortable working in a shop selling clothes, or food or the like. [She's only been here a week and already looked into the various technology of this world.

Hm, looks like this man approves of her physical appearance.] I don't know what kind of lab equipment you might need but I can build a computer from the bits of technology around here.

[How about a time machine in human form?]

Drowning probably works better considering that weather crap. Global warming is alive and well in Somarium.

[It's possibly in poor taste but hey, he did some heroing during the flood.]

It's hard to get the average everyday person on the street to talk beyond directions to the nearest cafe or store which, y'know, is vaguely unsettling like some horror movie possibly waiting to happen.

[There's a lot to approve of.] I could never ask you to do that, not without buying you a drink or dinner first.

[He would probably propose. Jokingly but seriously, she would be one of his favourite people for the rest of his stay here.]

There's a tavern in Espoir. Leon runs it. It'll be your best bet for a good drink until a few other places open up.

[coolexec]

What else can you tell me about it? Is it quaint? I hope it's quaint.

[heavenlyfinale]

Picturesque might be the term I'd use. It's old, but it has a nice feel to it.

Is it strictly just drinks there or do they do meals too? I've never had a tavern meal or anything like that, could be a new exciting experience.

[floriferous]

I think there are a few openings near my shop, actually.

[coolexec]

And where's your shop?

[floriferous]

The second district. That's not too far, is it?

[coolexec]

For a pretty lady, nothing is too far. Got a name?
