Falling from the sky, she looked below her, seeing a large island below her. The island had a small town with a large volcano in the center, though it appeared to be dormant. Folding her wings behind her, she had to make sure that people didn't see her with her wings. That would leave several suspicions. She dove for the ocean around the town, determined to use it to allow herself to shift her appearance. She didn't feel the need to change her look, but she did need to get rid of her wings and perhaps make her outfit actually look like real human clothes instead of out of leaves like they were.
She also needed a new name that she would go by, until she was able to reveal her true self to everyone. Feeling speed pick up around her, she dove head first into the water, soaking her immediately as she landed in the water. Feeling her wings disappear, leaving all feeling of them gone, reminding her of how she used to disguise herself as a human regularly, which is probably a good thing that she is gonna disguise herself here, because if this is still the same world as it was when she escaped, MECH or the military may decide to come and hunt her down here just as they used to in her past.
Swimming through the water, she found a few clams, where she swam down and gathered a small handful of pearls to use as a way to get money, to in turn be able to buy some clothes, not that she couldn't have easily made the pearls herself with her powers, she chose instead to not rely as much on her powers, in order to get out of the habit of using them so much. Most pearls you could get the money worth as much as $300 to $1500, depending on the quality of the pearl.
With 10 pearls in her hand, she decided to not give them all up, in hopes at least 2 or 3 of the pearls would help her to get a decent amount of money, not that she planned to live in a house like everyone else. She would find something else to use to call shelter and home for now.
Climbing out of the water, she walked onto the beach, recognizing how there were tons of people and also recognizing a lot of technology in the area. She saw a seagull land on a sign, only for a robotic hand to come out of the side, reaching up to wave the seagull away. Standing up on the sandy shore, she subtly absorbed the water on her, and made sure her one bottle was full of water, and her other bottle still had fresh energon within it.
Walking barefoot through the town, she walked along the sidewalk, looking at the shops that were available, before coming across what appeared to be a small jewelry shop. Walking inside, she made sure to hide the rest of the pearls, as she separated two of the nicer of the pearls to see if the shop would be willing to give her a decent sum of money for them.
"Hello, how can I help you, young lady?" A man standing behind the shelves asked as he looked at her.
"Hi, I was wondering if I could possibly exchange these for some money, if you accept such an action here." I spoke, revealing the two pearls in my hand that had small tints of pink and pearly white, shining brightly in the well lit room.
"Where are you coming from, exactly?" The man asked, as he looked at the pearls, before looking back at her.
"I come from the other side of the island, where I have lived on my own for quite some time. Though I don't have much money I am afraid, when you tend to survive and live off your own means. Though I need some money in order to buy some things such as new clothing, some tools, and other things. I hoped that perhaps a jeweler such as you would love to have some fine pearls I gathered out at sea, in turn to give me some money to buy the things I need here in town." She explained as she looked at the man.
"I see. Well, if I can examine these pearls for a minute to double check if they are real, along with measuring their size, I will be willing to get back with you on how much I might exchange them for with you." The man replied as he reached out for the two pearls. Nodding in response, she handed him the pearls, a little unsure about how much she could trust him, but decided to rely on her hopes that he would keep his end of the bargain.
