Some of your actions weren't completed all the way, to keep time in "sync". Just an fyi.
You take a look outside. A yellow sun casts its light from directly above, through a typical blue sky spotted with white billowing clouds. Modernish buildings line the dirt path in front of you, and the bustle of life continues unobstructed from your entrance.
Being lunch time, you have a hard time ignoring your stomach.
WallaceYou rush onto the dirt path, and spot the tall tale sign of the roof of a warehouse farther down the path. Running, you almost run into what looks like a 6 legged bull with shaggy hair, covering its eyes and upper legs. It pulls a cart past you, unaware it almost crushed you.
You pass through what appears to be a bazaar, and the smell of fish reaches your nose. You ignore it, and a few minutes later you find yourself at the entrance of the warehouse. Its a large building, plated in metal with large windows on the second story.
You slam open a door you spot off to the side, startlingly a man in a white coat. He drops his papers, which create a splatter pattern on the floor.
"Why you littl-" he is cut off when he spots you, just a ten year old. "Oh, you aren't one of those teens. You're just an acorn of a tree. Here, you look hungry, let me grab you something to eat. Tom, you mind watching the little walnut?"
Another man, likely in his early twenties, approaches from behind some warehouse shelves filled with various shiny objects. You lose sight of the older man when he rounds the corner of a shelf.
"Excuse the professor," he apologizes, "hes a bit off, but brilliant. Anyway, I'm Tom. What's your name little man?"
RaniYou inspect your coins further. On closer glance, they appear to be decorated in a variety of art work. Some kind of four winged bird flies over water on one side, while the front has what appears to be a large lizard, breathing fire.
You watch Wallace head off in the "right" direction from your position, almost running into some kind of large mammal. It appears to be a beast of burden, able to survive harsh, cold temperatures. Shaggy fur covers its entire body, obscuring the eyes and upper legs. You then notice it has three pairs of legs, which must allow it to carry heavy weight loads.
Noticing a warehouse down the road that Wallace is running towards, you decide to explore the bazaar that occupies midway. About 5 stands are present, each specialising in a differant product. By glancing, you figure there are: two food stands, one with fresh fish and one with preserved fish, for what appears to be for virtuamons. A stand selling the beasts of burden you saw before. A stand with a variety of clothes, apparently for obscuring your face or for cold weather. The last one you are unsure of. You'll have to ask the merchant.
AshYou watch Rani and Wallace head off in the "right direction", and decide to head left in search of a general store. You see a coast not too far off, if you try you can hear the waves. A good walk down the road, you spot a building with a sign that says "Products for Adventurers". Not the best store name, but you guess they don't have any competition. Before you enter you spot a fisherman on the not-so-far beach.
Entering the room, you find a stark abundance of dust. You guess living on a dirt road has its disadvantages. A slightly overweight man greets you.
"Ah, hello there. New adventurer I see? Please please, come over, take a gander at my wares."
You walk over and glance into a glass case. In it are various objects with paper tags on them.

Tai, ZeoxYou head back inside. Heading to the personal belongings room, Zeox fruitlessly tries to pry gold off of the locker. You'll probably need to melt it off with some kind of welder.
Feeling the effects of hunger, you head back to the kitchen. Dingy powers up and you ask him to whip you up something. You each fill eachother's bags full of water and nonperishable foods. By the time they are full, you have enough food and water to last about two days between the two of you. If you want to feed the entire group, you'll have to ration, and that will only give you about 24 hours until the food runs out.
Dingy produces a delicious meal of fish and what appears to be seaweed. He says its a local delicacy. You eat quickly so you can get back with the group.
You head back outside, and in the left direction down the road you spot a red cross sign. You assume its some kind of clinic. There's also a coast.
