My name is Beta.

I was created, not born. And my creators controlled everything. 

[ at least she's used to everyone back home knowing this, so sharing it doesn't feel weird.

making the post takes all the deep breathing and pacing out her anxious energy she has, hands trembling unseen the entire time. ]

Obtaining or cooking food, paying for things, even washing clothing. I don't know how to do...anything for myself. I don't know if I'm even capable of surviving alone. I need to learn.

All I can offer in return here is information or education - Physics, chemistry, geo-engineering, computer science and programming, among others. I haven't seen the necessary materials, but I can create too. I was raised on 31st century technology. 

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... I need help.

Is there something we're supposed to do until the sentencing? I haven't been given any tasks.

[motifs]

Nor have I. I presume we are to live our lives in this new town and stay out of trouble, lest we upset those applying these "sentences" even further.

I have been drawing to pass the time.

[nobetawedielike]

I don't really know what to do...I've never not had some sort of training module.

[motifs]

Ah. Well... would you be interested in drawing?

[He's only got the One Thing... well, his other suggestion would be "people-watching," but he knows that's probably going to be a no.]

[nobetawedielike]

I think I would enjoy trying.

[motifs]

Most excellent. You would be welcome to draw with me, if you would like some pointers.

Can paper be purchased?

[motifs]

I have made requests of the locals and I have been provided paper free of charge! Not of the highest caliber, of course, but serviceable for a rough sketch. You may use some of mine.
