Hi Ho! I, Robert Raphaël Silvester Ambrosius Costeau, was recommended this fine establishment on the basis that it lacks crazy people who would stab others in the neck. I hope the review from the kind professor is true. Anyway, I am here for food and room and definitely not knives in the neck.

Aye, that'll do fine. +1

The Giant puts His book down.
‘No knifing, don’t worry. I make sure of that.’
He stands up, and comes towards You.
‘So. D’You have any money? I could list the prices in every currency we accept, but asking what People have is faster.’

Ah yes, money can be exchanged for goods and services! Perhaps you might be interested in this shiny silver coin! Or...are you interested in this magical wishing potato? Actually, no, that magical potato is for personal use!

Anyways, what's your name?

‘My name is Marthi, but most People call me Magpie. It’s the hair. I run this Place, if Y’didn’t guess that already. The Prices in Silver are a nice big room for a Penny of Silver, and a much smaller room for a half-penny of Silver. Both get a bowl of stew and a drink.’

He looks down at You.

‘May I ask, Robert, where do You come from? I’m not sure I’ve seen someone like You before.’

"Oh me? I'm a human who transformed magically. I can dance for you if you'd like."

This is a pretty big upgrade from hobo village, so lets go with two days in the half-penny room.

This is my waifu, this is my gun. This one's for fighting, this ones for fun.

I come from a land down under, where women glow and men plunder.
Wait. That’s not right. To be honest, I  have suffered a sort of traumatic brain injury a few days ago so that knowledge is currently lost. However, I do have citizenship papers for this town. So I guess I’m from Lent for now.


The smaller room seems ideal and leaves us some money for later

Question, do we know we were human?

I'm making stuff up. More fun than just telling literally everyone we lost our memory.

‘Hm. Lent’s not bad as Places to be stuck in go. We take a lot of pride in our Constables, them not being corrupt and all that, and that sticks us head and shoulders over Kesch or Áine’s rock. I will say, Y’do look something like a Human, no doubting that. But then, You could be a tall Dwarf, or a Short Giant. If Y’lined up One of each, made sure They were similar heights and, uh, shaved the Dwarf, Y’d be forgiven for having trouble telling the Buggers apart.’

He takes Your penny and brings You over to the Counter. He takes out a weighing scale, placing a small weight in one side and the penny in the other.

‘Much as a Dancer’d be nice here, I don’t have much money for something like that. If You stick around until there’s a new Golden age for the Pit Cities, I might take You up on it then, though.’

After satisfying Himself with the weight of the Penny, He places it onto a counter, on a spot plastered with cut marks. Then from underneath the counter, he puts a chisel over the Penny, a hammer over the chisel, and gives a single whack. He takes one half of the penny, and gives You the other.

‘There’s Your change. This’s the key to Your bedroom, take the stairway behind Me when you want to go to Bed, I’ll get Y’some stew in a second.’

A few seconds later, You find Yourself sitting where The Giant dumped You and Your food, alone at the table. The chatting regulars occasionally glance at You, and start to whisper whenever They Think your listening. The stew in front of You is pale, almost beige, with the scent of fish and vegetables emanating from it. Your drink smells strong, and looks fruity. The light has stopped shining from outside, and the only light now is the fire, and the warm yellow glow from a black candle at the centre of the table. You’ve become very, very hungry all of a sudden.

It be time to eat
Then
Strike up some conversation with anyone sitting close to us
*Psst* Hey buddy, you interested in understanding the complex mental machinations of one Robert Raphaël Silvester Ambrosius Costeau? That is, of course, contingent on you not stabbing me in the neck. Neck stabbing is terribly rude and I don’t associate with such rude individuals.

You dig into the soup. Spoonful after spoonful of fish and potatoes and who knows what else work their way down Your throat, as carefully stewed flavours compete for Your attention. Soon, the last drop has been licked from the bowl, and You get a wonderful feeling of fullness inside.

The Woman sitting closest to You turns away from the chatting group with a look of suspicion and curiosity, as the others pretend not to do the same. Her voice is cautious but intrigued.

‘... Sure. No neck stabbing.’

Tell her about ourselves and be sure to mention the wishing potatoes, and be sure to leave out the sphere.
