we read the signs completely backwards

Who: Jesse Finch and YOU
Where: Exploring the city buildings. Anywhere!
When: Day 31
What: Jesse's decided he's done skulking around. He needs to figure out what and where he's living in now, and he doesn't mind company.

He's situated, now, and he finds it's much easier to concentrate now that he has everything settled. There are good people here, and he's watching out for Galen, and everything will be okay. So he picks through the city in search of all sorts of things. Food, weapons, cigarettes, those are important - whatever he can find and possibly use to barter for things later. He knows how it gets when supplies get low.

He checks out everywhere, from the cemetery (where he feels like he's going to spend a lot of time) to the bar (which, he decides, is going to be his secondary most-time-spent-in area) and gathers things as he goes. He's not paying much attention to any others who might be out, but throwing rocks at him and shouting should generally be good ways to get Jesse's attention, right? Right.

"Anything that might be potentially useful. Techniques for first aid using the materials available to us here. Primitive agricultural techniques we might be able to implement if our food supplies continue to not be replenished."

Honestly, the food situation is something that worries him greatly, even if he's not personally affected.

"Yeah, I heard about the food bit. We're running low?" That's terrible, because Jesse eats like a horse. "I guess we could - figure out somethin' for farming, yeah? Have y'found anything?"

"I've read of some techniques, but unfortunately without some appropriate equipment and seeds our success is limited." Daneel is unhappy about this result, as inevitable as it may be. "Also, we would require food supplies in the meantime while we're waiting for our crops to grow to maturity."

"Which we don't really have, m'guessing." Sigh. "I guess we'll figure something out. We gotta have some people who know what they're doing." He peers at the books around him. "There anything good to read for fun in here?"

[thezerothlaw]

Daneel hesitates. That's a difficult question for him to answer. There's value in fiction, to be certain, but aspects of it trouble him, and he doesn't seek it out. "There is certainly fiction here. I'm not confident that I'm a qualified judge of what might be 'good.' Much of it I'm not familiar with."

"Aw man, really?" He purses his lips. "I bet I could find some stuff you might like. D'you like to read? Like, I dunno that's a robot-y thing to do."

"I'm not accustomed to having the liberty to read," Daneel explains. "My duties precluded any leisure time I might have. I might read to gain information, but I've never done it for pleasure."
