TEMBLA
I. Around the City - Say aloe to my little friend.
[ Being new here, the first thing Alberto does is try to memorize what places in the city are the best ones best to find food and shelter. He's using one of the cup leaves to carry what he can find and ends with a mixed assortment of goods: bavonroom, cakesponge, crunchy persimmon, cyananas...
It's only when he walks by one of the Holdfast Vines and brushes the vines that he gets into trouble. He's not expecting the tree to move, much less to have a vine suddenly wrap around his wrist and grab him. ]
Wha--? Ey! Let me go! [ He lets out a startled yelp and tugs back trying to free himself but with no luck. He would welcome any help, really. ]
II. Beach - Fancy places call this Sushi
[ The view of the beach is a comforting one, even if the sand is the wrong color and the creatures in the water are not what Alberto is used to seeing. As he had promised Cayde, he's been finding and collecting alive fish for the Exo to add to his tank at the Deep End.
Anybody walking by the beach by the early afternoon might find him sitting by on a rock, straight up munching on raw a fish like it's no big deal, because to him, it isn't. Next to Alberto, there's a big metal helmet filled with ocean water, the fishes he's got for Cayde swimming in it. Alberto underestimated how much the helmet was going to weigh once filled up, and he's trying to come up with a way to carry it to Cayde's place. He's still thinking about that when he hears someone approaching and looks over them, gesturing to the helmet with a; ]
Ciao! If you are hungry, suit yourself. I think I fished too many.
III. Mines / Network
[ Some other explorers, before adventuring into the caves, might come up with a plan to check the air quality, make sure the walls are safe enough, perhaps they even bother to bring in some weapons...not this kid, though. Alberto can see well in the dark unless it's total pitch black, he's small enough to get through any tunnel, and he likes exploring, so that's exactly what he does.
Fortune favors the brave, as they say.
He gets further into the caves, and the more he sees, the more curious he gets. The rusted metal door only makes him pause briefly before he continues, and in no time, Alberto finds himself staring at the powered-off display and the possible places where energy crystals could go. The equipment is broken, and he knows how to fix it, even if he's never seen it before.
This has been happening since Alberto touched the engineering data point a few days ago,. He can now look at all that strange alien tech and remember what it is supposed to do, what it needs to be done to make it functional. It's weird, but weird it's also his usual, so he just assumes that's how life is goign to be from now own. He starts pushing all the buttons he can reach, paws at the powered screens, and basically touches everything that is touchable before giving up.
Tsk, he's going to need to make some crystals to make any of this work, but maybe other people already have some. With that idea in mind, he opens the communicator and chooses the video function, typing is still difficult for him. The connection is spotty at best, being deep into the mines, and there are dark shadows over his face, but his green eyes are still clearly visible. ]
Hello? Can anybody hear me? I'm in one of the caves and there's all this stuff...[ Alberto swings the communicator around, so it shows the different machinery and screens. ] They need crystals to work, I know how to make them but I haven't got any yet. Does anybody have a few to spare?

Alien Target 2
[ Unlike the clothes in the Department Store of Tembla, the ones here have the right number of sleeves, and Alberto is looking around to see if he can find anything useful to wear. Most clothes are too big for him or he has no idea how to wear them, but he eventually finds a soft cream-colored sweater that is close to the right size to fit him.
It prompts him to bury his face in the sweater and laugh, the sound reverberating around the (supposedly) empty building. He's never had clothes this soft before, everything he's worn until now had been scavenged and threadbare, and it's just SO.SOFT. ]

"It's Italian, it means 'it's a pleasure to meet you."
Most of the people Alberto has talked to after coming to the city hadn't known the language, so he's not surprised that Kaz doesn't speak it either. When they start to walk towards the east, he does so leisurely rather than his usually fast pace, mindful of Kaz's limp. He also kicks some debris out of the way from time to time.
"I suppose that means you're not from Italy. What's your home like?"
no subject
"Sorry kid but 'home' and the place I come from are two different things. And from what I can tell the place I come from is what a lot of people here in Temba would think of as 'simple'. Meaning that there isn't much use of electricity or electric light, I'd never heard of outer space before coming here, and I didn't know what a 'smartphone' was either."
Kaz indicated the smartphone everyone in Temba had when they first showed up in his pants pocket.
no subject
Alberto gave that answer a thought and found similarities with his own situation. No electricity or fancy tech can be found in the deep ocean, and that's where he really comes from. Portorosso had only become his new home very recently, and now he's been torn away from the town and dragged into a whole different planet.
"I know what's that like." He sounded honest, not just as if he wanted to relate to Kaz for the sake of it. "Where I was born, we don't have electricity either. No trains, radios, or any kind of fancy tech. We don't even have warm food."
There's kelp, krill, fishes, and crustaceans...but none of that food can compare to pasta or gelato. None of them can't be found in Temba either and Alberto is rather bummed about that fact.
Kaz might notice that the kid's yellow tank top looks threadbare, and his brown shorts are held up with a rope. Not to mention that he is barefoot. He obviously doesn't come from what one would call a wealthy background. He also doesn't seem to care one bit.

Kaz had grown up pretty poor before he was nine, then he had been on the streets, so it wasn't odd to think there was anything other than a lack of money to explain the state of Alberto's clothes.
"You're gonna want to wear shoes in Temba and I suppose here, too. I haven't seen much glass around but there's plenty of stone."
no subject
"Ugh, shoes...They feel weird, and they're not good for climbing places." He looks down at the debris surrounding them and then gave Kaz a long-suffering look. The man had a point, but Alberto wasn't too happy about the idea. "But I suppose they might come in handy"
Finding shoes of his size was going to be next to impossible, though, maybe he can use that as an excuse. He would just have to be careful where he steps. Looking around, he turned to the left behind an aisle, but not quick enough that Kaz might lose sight of him.
"That way!" Sure enough, the Outdoor Recreation could be seen in the distance a few aisles away. "Do you plan on going fishing?"
