Back of the shoulder, so I doubt it goes around. Possibly just a black circle on the shoulder.
edit: GH beat me to it.

Yes we do, it was your whiskey.
It's interesting we're all attempting to take better care of ourselves than I would in than I would.

We should really find a bus stop after the grocery store. It will tell us where we are and provide an easy means of transportation to wherever we need to go.
Beefy187 00:10 01-04-2010
It seems like we don't have a language problem.
We're starting to get some curious looks. I say we get out of the bar soon as possible.
Get some basic supplies, look for street signs etc then we look for somewhere we can rest safely I say.
You exit the restroom and the bar, with the bartender giving you a dirty look. You take a few steps outside when you realize that you don't know where a grocery store is.
The street you're on at present runs north to south.

GH do we have any need to urinate? Might as well take care of it while we are here.
I think we should be guarded while exiting the bathroom, we got some odd looks and now we might be facing a group of organized people, I'm not saying they
will attack us, but we should be prepared in case they do.
I think we should also splash some water on our face and take a drink, we do not want to get dehydrated, and there is nothing in our stomach on with that whiskey, I'd rather not throw up in the bar, unless it's in the toilet right now.
Look down, check that you are wearing pants. If you are, proceed to walk north, looking for a bus stop along your walk.
Thought i'd get that out of the way before we go anywhere or get arrested. Could be the source of our odd looks.
Split, just to make sure, were those orders accounting for my most recent post?
Splitpersonality 00:20 01-04-2010
Yes, we are now outside for that order. As you said.

Useless for the purpose of hydration.
We should have asked the Bartender where the nearest city was and what direction before Split got excited about the write-up possibility of him unzipping his flies,

If we can take care of a bodily need in an area designed to take care of said need, I don't see the problem in that. I"m not asking GH to be graphic about it or anything, just if he has to go, go. :l
You are, in fact, wearing pants. You do not need to urinate.
You walk for a little over a block and come to a bus stop. The sign has a purple logo that says "Valley Metro". There is one person already there, a woman in her late 50s. She looks at you for a second and nods, her gaze shifting back to the road.
Beefy187 01:29 01-04-2010
Start talking to the old lady. Start with the weather, then claim that you are new around here. And ask her where the best place is to shop for clothes, furniture and groceries

Or severely creep her out and make her pull out her mace
Beefy187 01:37 01-04-2010
If we are in a country where a gentle old lady randomly start attacking you with Mace in the midlle of a casual conversation...We never had a chance of survival
Why furniture?
Valley Metro means we could be in Phoenix, Arizona; Roanoke, Virginia; or Brisbane, Australia. I think Roanoke is most likely given the slip of paper.

If theres a place which got all those, it must be a pretty big city... or at least a decent size shopping mall.
I wasn't planning to buy them all.
pevergreen 03:20 01-04-2010
I hope its Brisbane.
Cause then we could catch the bus to my house!
You comment on the weather to the woman, following it up with the fact that you're new around here. She chuckles. "I could tell, hun," she says. "Otherwise you'd be pretty used to this by now." You ask her where the best place is to get clothes, furniture, and groceries.
"Well, Prasada's not done yet, so there's really not a one-stop shopping area. Two blocks south of here is an Albertson's, that'll get you what you need, food-wise. As for clothing, take your pick around here, there's plenty of stores. Not sure about furniture though."
What do you think she means by "used to this by now". Is there some eerie Dark City phenomena going on?
Splitpersonality 04:15 01-04-2010
The albertson's confirms that we are likely in or 250 miles around Phoenix Arizona, check their store finder if you don't believe me.
On second thought, maybe she just means the weather.
Beefy187 04:26 01-04-2010
Yea its probably the weather. According to the past write up, its hot-dry climate with no clouds.
Not many people would talk about weather when its sunny and less would talk about how talk it is especially if they live there..
Anyway Split confirmed that where we are. Now we just need to solve who we are and what we were doing here.
Lets start shooting theories.
Myrddraal 04:47 01-04-2010
Pfff... I say we head for the city centre. It seems natural enough to head that way, perhaps we'll bump into a clue.
We could keep our eyes out for cops, if we see a lone cop, try just walking past him whilst giving him a clear view of our face. If he recognises us, we know we're wanted and with one cop we have a more than fair chance of getting away if need be.
Splitpersonality 04:49 01-04-2010
I second Myrddaal's idea for the police. City center seems like a good idea, maybe the police could even help us...
Myrddraal 04:52 01-04-2010
One person seconding sounds good enough for me:
Try to work out if the bus heads into the city centre, ask the old lady if necessary. If it is, take the bus, if not walk. Keep eyes out for cops.
What to do if we see a lone cop: Walk towards him from in front without getting too close. If the cop reacts negatively (which includes reaching for his radio) get out of there (back alleys if possible). If the cop doesn't react, walk past.
EDIT (if allowed) to include what split said below:
If he reaches to talk to us I don't think we should book it so fast, but we should be cautious. If he reaches to tell us something, like maybe "Have you seen etc etc" without grabbing cuffs or radio we should stay and hear him out.
What to do if we see a group of cops or a squad car: discretely move away

If he reaches to tell us something, like maybe "Have you seen etc etc" without grabbing cuffs or radio we should stay and hear him out. It might be suspicious to a cop looking at us, saying "hello" and we run lol
Myrddraal 05:00 01-04-2010
I can see it coming already; a one liner from GH saying "You don't see any cops"
The woman looks at you oddly. "Hun, this *is* the city center. Welcome to downtown Surprise."
(OOC: Sorry, this is my way of asking for a clarification. I've spent the last twenty minutes trying to find a difference between "city center" and "downtown", to no avail.)
Apologise, blaming it on the heat, and ask if she knows how to get to Croatoan.
