The Consequences [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

The bartender raises one eyebrow at your request, but says "yes". You exit your seat and walk into the men's room.

[Andres]

Look in the mirror to see how we look (male/female, young/old, color of eyes/hair etc etc).

[GeneralHankerchief]

You take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You look very hot and dusty, appropriate for someone who just took a 2-hour walk in a dry climate. You're wearing a faded blue button-down shirt. You have short brown hair and hazelnut eyes, and a very short stubble growing on your face. You look to be in your late 20s.

[Splitpersonality]

Open up your shirt and examine your body, checking for cuts, scratches, bruises, anything out of the ordinary.

[Subotan]

EDIT: Scratch that, I didn't realise that it mentioned he had stubble on his face

[GeneralHankerchief]

You open your shirt. Aside the wound on your head sustained from the butt of the shotgun, your body is for the most part unmarked. However, there is a black ring tattoo on the back of your left shoulder.

[Splitpersonality]

I doubt we need to examine ourselves from the waist down, or does anyone think we have the need to?

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Find a grocery store and get some water and basic, cheap, food supplies. Fresh produce and some bread. Butter or margarine too, depending which is cheaper. Drink some of the water and have a bit to eat after the purchase.

We don't want to dehydrate after two hours in the sun, and we have no idea when our last proper drink was.

[Myrddraal]

Does the ring tattoo go around the arm, or is it a tattoo of a ring?

EDIT: keep an eye out for street signs wherever we go

Plus anyone could witness you killing her from any direction, you can't have your eyes everywhere at once, in the city center at a bus stop, of all places killing someone is bound to have repercussions. Plus there is very little point in it. Her inventory probably consists of granny pants & some antique lipstick.

Mithandir's casual attitude to making us lose all our money is alarming also.

It's not casual. It's a good way to strike a conversation. Try it in a bar with a girl sometime.
I'd really like to Ask what the old lady's favorite animal is and when she says "camel" to give her all of my money. If she picks another animal, I'll tell her about the glorious attributes of this magnificent creature until she's convinced.

[GeneralHankerchief]

As it is a busy area, several people walk by the bus stop. The two of you are joined by a man wearing business clothing, but before you can make a decision to talk to him or not, the bus arrives.

Fare is $2.00. Do you want to pay?

[Subotan]

Try and negotiate for a student fare.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry, no dice. Seeing as you don't have an ID of any kind, yet alone a student ID.

[Mithrandir]

Ask if the old lady likes camels.If she says yes, pay for her fare as well. If she says no, explain to her why camels are such magnificent creatures.
