"Winter storage?..." Wait what did that have to do with.... "Um...You'll get the gist of it soon enough." He took his sandals and slid them onto his feet as they came toward the edge of the forest. "Their is a store on the way to my place, I'll pick us up some water on the way, the stuff from the tap taste like sucking on a dirty penny." It wasn't even like he had known what that statement meant when he first heard it, till some one had introduced him to change and without thinking about it had stuck the damnable thing in his mouth to find out and it had been a fair and horrifyingly accurate description. He rummaged through his jeans pockets with one hand, holding the birds with his other hand, till he withdraw some change and fished out a penny. "This is a penny. It takes a lot of them to trade for anything these days."

*she took the penny he offered looking at it frowning........water taste like mud and this* She stuck it in her mouth then made a ghastly face spitting it out.*"Trade this? is not worth anything......I would not trade a fur for a river of these. *she fell silent following him in what was already appearing to be stranger then that she encountered in the Umbra. She hoped Gaia had not made a mistake in her coming back to this whole new world.*

The side walk and city spreading ahead, fences and concrete and windows, trash, waste, and everywhere the spirits of giant spider small weavers covering everything in web, a spiritual show of the shear excess of it all that they now sought to endlessly create for no reason at all. The smog choking the fresh air, the smoke a deep burning that showed the lack of natural fire elements, which would burn things cleaner then this weaver poisoned cast off. Electricity buzzing through the wires with a fiery life like it commanded control over lightening and then their were cars....and people crowded together in unusual clothing that left to much skin bare.
"Money is strange yes, but I guess they have decided that these paper things and coins are valuable some how because it is the only way to trade now for items of need. No bartering."

*she wrinkles her delicate nose as she was assaulted by the rank air and so many fowl smells she was almost tempted in turning around and heading back to the park. In fact she stopped debating this as she took in every sight and sound while seeing what he did with a total look of disgust. mumbling* We are expected to cure this while the rest walk around in ignorant bliss? *she coughed covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve even as a soft growl exscaped the back of her throat as a car sped by her eyes appearing as now slits as if she might charge after it.*

"settle down, now is not the time. Its just a car, humans use it as transportation these days. I stil lfind feet more reliable and sustainable. Healthier too while on that point. With time and patience all maladies can be cured, and those cancers that can not....we must cut these away...." He watched the car pass shaking his head. He lead on to the small market near his home walking inside with a shove to the metal frame of the glass windowed obstruction and heading for the cooler in the back, the air conditioning a sharp contrast to the warm outside air and filtered to keep out the stench of the gasoline from the pumps in back.
