[i. The Simwe Institute: The Library in Evras's Research Centre]

Now that they're more settled and have found a house, River has decided that she should contribute to the house funds. Though housing is free for a month, there is still food and clothing to consider, and rent past the first month. So after a bit of hunting around and dozens and dozens of questions asked, she's managed to find herself a position as a Cataloguer.

Which is all well and good, but also a bit distracting, because she's found several books that interest her. These are stacked next to her at the reference desk. She'll answer your question in a moment, let her finish this page.


[ii. The Housing District: Possibly Your House]

It seems as though she's talked to so many people, now, that live in Olympia. But talking over the network and meeting face to face are very different things. So River, thinking logically, figures that if she systematically knocks on doors of the houses nearby, she will surely find someone she's spoken to.

Or maybe someone entirely new.


[iii. The Market]

She hasn't seen a marketplace like this. Not since Osiris, where resources were more plentiful. Most of the planets she's visited had backwater little towns with tiny tourist shops attempting to sell homemade goods. But this? This is fantastic. Almost overwhelming.

She wanders from booth to booth, touching fabrics, dipping her fingers in bags of grain or seed just to enjoy the sensation of it. She may not buy anything, but she can still appreciate.

[If River doesn't stop her, Zora might attempt to climb on her shoulder. You know, for Reasons.]

It sounds like you've had a lot of adventures.

[The good kind, not just what was done to her. Like what Wanda had hoped to have with the Avengers.]

I'm from Earth. It was 2015 before I was brought here.

[Well, at least Zora isn't trying to groom her...yet.]

They talk about us destroying the planet, but it feels like no one does anything. But I guess it doesn't matter now.

[...that got depressing. Way to kill the mood.]

Do you want to come in? I can get you tea or a snack and I have treats you can give Zora.

She rides on my shoulder sometimes? Just be careful and move slowly.

[Look, she lives with the Scarlet Witch. She's a very chill cat.]
