Summary: Chandra arrives, and she's getting into trouble from the start.

Chandra's arrival was mostly uneventful. After watching the arrival mirror-movie thing, she had freaked out quietly in her room for a bit before deciding to go out and investigate. The city itself was big, though not as big as her hometown, and there was a lot to see.

Unfortunately, hunger had hit right about the time she had gone through the marketplace, and she had no money or means to get food of any kind. So she was stuck there, her stomach grumbling, wondering if she should try to grab a wallet from one of the many people walking by or just swiping food from one of the stalls. She didn't have her thief gear but she was so hungry she was willing to overlook that.

It didn't occur to her to go back to her assigned apartment and raid the fridge. Another thought did, though. Maybe she could beg food out of someone instead!

So she sat up on the fountain and looked around, trying to find some poor sucker to woobie into a free meal.

((OOC: Estelle and Haruki can run across her before she leave the apartment if either of you want to do that.))

Equius was out shopping, and in fact his arms are full of food he's in the act of bringing back to feed the gaping maws of his roommates. He's still learning the cooking part, so there are also a couple of cookbooks shoved in a bag swinging from one arm. He keeps thinking if he can just have enough books, his food will taste like Aurthour used to make...

[Haruki was actually back from classes for the day, but before he goes out to a job. So he's in the apartment and shedding out of his school clothes to his work clothes when he hears first the door opening (oh, Estelle) but then... fridge raiding...?

He grunts and figures he's got his pants on even a shirt isn't he should go out and see what's up, because that was too much noise for Estelle and-] ...Oi.

"Hey, watch it!"

A man unto Chandra's own general plan shoved a lizard-man out of his way in the middle of the square, brandishing a fist tightly balled up as if creating an emphasis for the basis of a threat, "You'll dislocate my shoulder walking so rough!"

Souichirou feigned an injury, clutching his shoulder with his open, free hand. "The medical bills are gonna be a pain, you monster lizard! Where do you get off, treating this place like it's a wrestling arena! You gotta front the bill for me, you careless jerk!"

He put on his best act, but the creature stared at him, well aware that he had better things to do.

Summoner had never been one to possess much in terms of dough. But he wasn't the type to let some poor alien wiggler-country-thing sit there looking bored and helpless as they stared out at the markets for food either. Always a bit more compassionate then many of his race in terms of helping those who needed it he couldn't help but notice her staring.

So, a lot of money or no, at least he could help. Approaching the girl curiously, his large form and intimidating horns casting a shadow over her as he approached. "You okay? Seem to be bearing lasers into those food stalls with those ocular lenses of yours."

He didn't have much dough. But he had enough to give out to someone who needed it.
