[ ok so, he's been tweaking with this watch thing for a while, and what's cool is that it seems to take voice commands, and... you know what that means. it means it's time to mass text everyone something stupid, because what else's a guy to do? he's blind and stuck in one spot and BORED out of his mind, so cut him some slack. ]

Like I said it's too victorian - candles, horse carriages, market stalls instead of modern stores, this kind of stuff. You have to think steam age, with magic instead of electricity. [while Archer's voice always carries the sarcastic veneer he does include information.]

[hamletism]

Ooh. Well, I can't really tell, so I was taking a wild guess.

[ still confused about the phone-things but they're convenient so who's kyun to complain? ]

But even back then people had stores, right? Prob just a different name or somethin'. Purpose's the same. ... -- though that probably means no monster energy drinks... fuck.

[boneofsword]

[It hints at some kind of sight impairment, so Archer tries to include as much relevant information as he can.]

The closest to energy drink is coffee. There's no fast food or any kind of instant food. [well, it may be too much. A pause.]

Still, you can find stalls with snacks and drinks. The only problem is lack of local currency and no access to bank account.

You'd better stay at the Coven for now, or aroumd the Haven. While majority of the people you encounter are friendly it's better to learn the ropes first. Besides the streets are mostly cobblestone or mud.

[hamletism]

[ he's grateful; it tells him enough to realize just how different this world is from his own. this clearly isn't a modern time -- they're stuck in some sort of... medieval isekai... help. ]

Do you think we can invent fries?

[ ... this is important. ]

Don't worry, I can't get too far from the starting point, anyway. They have food here, but the problem is I want a burger, not some... meat and vegetables... this barely even has salt in it.

[ uuugh. ]

[boneofsword]

[Archer hums under his breath, trying to remember all kind of food that he's seen around.]

There's a possibility they have fish and chips. It's a common dish of fried fish and fried potato chips seasoned with salt. Chips are cut thicker than french fries. [okay, that's enough, no need to serve a whole history lesson. He can be a nerd later.]

[hamletism]

I mean... if they had fish and chips, I'd assume they'd have fries, too. Actually, chips is just fine, as long as it's fried. I haven't seen anything fried around yet, though.

[ then again, he's been here for like, maybe a day and a half at most, so -- ]

You sound like you're into this stuff. You a cook or somethin'?

[boneofsword]

Those stalls are at least several streets away from the Coven, in the less fashionable district.

[Archer has had enough time to map the whole city and find most interesting spots.]

I can cook.

[hamletism]

Ah man, I can't go there alone.

[ but, well, maybe he can ask someone to lead him, or something. for the time being, he's stuck though, so... fast food remains a dream... ]

... think you could make ramen from scratch?

[boneofsword]

[Archer considers it for a moment.]

I think I can give it a shot. Mind that it's not going to taste exactly like the one you're used to. [it's a fair warning, for not all ingredients are available here.] Any specific preferences?
