"Oh, crap, I have no idea," Olivia answered sheepishly. "Uh...maybe we should go look for an open establishment, like a restaurant or something, and hope they help us. And give us something to eat, because I dont know about you but despite whats going on right now, im pretty hungry." She began walking in a random direction. Lets hurry before it gets all dark and creepy." Olivia didnt know how this place worked, what government it functioned under, and whether or not it kept people from killing eachother over stuff. But...then again, that wouldnt make sense. The streets were fairly empty and calm, save for a few people minding their own business in their cars and carriages. They could always just call out to those people, but...Olivia felt it was probably safer to find an establishment with lights, food and people, and not someone in a cart. Even though she did consider it extreme that someone could kidnap them by shoving them into a horse drawn cart or even the actual cars they currently had- could they even shove a person back there, let alone 2 full grown ladies? She shook her head. "...Do you feel like youre thinking too much due to circumstances, Naomi? Because I do."

"Youre in Cariman, but the planet is called 'Masssas'. I dont know what happened, but no one knows how you folks end up lost around here." He scratched the back of his head. "By the time we make it to town, it'll be late enough for my wife to worry. You'd have to wait until tomorrow, to be able to get to your answer. You try going now you be rushing to your death. Night isnt a good time to be out there. And I already saw you here, I dont plan to leave you here, itll bother my gut all night. You can stay at my place the night, then ill take you to town early tomorrow." He wasnt sure if this stranger would accept his offer the first time- after all, this poor man was stuck somewhere unfamiliar and an old man was offering him a place to stay the night. But he had already made up his mind to make sure the stranger didnt end up getting attacked by a prairie cat or something because he didnt insist in letting him stay somewhere safe.
