Slums of the city (come for the RP, stay for Shaula and Pawn arguing over RTPNSs)

((Why paste tense? I know eating would be wrong but unless we have a 100% confirmation that WW will nolonger eat people, eat should be correct, right?))

((You're talking TO her. If you say she eats them, present tense, odds are she'll just tell you she doesn't do it anymore.))

>Instead of looking for food, finally explain to us why you eat people. There, no euphemism that you could misunderstand this time

obviously the MASSIVE SEXUAL INNUENDO used when you talk about 'eating' women currently has been missed

as for past tense part of you ate because there was nothing else to eat and that part developed a taste for it, since the merge that part of you has regained a taste for normal foodstuffs yet you still have the unending hunger that that part of you died with

>Do you know of any safe ways to acquire food?

this is  the slums there isnt a  safe way to BREATHE, only ways that are less likely to kill you then others

as for the safer ways of getting food other than the ones you have already thought of you suppose you could try stealing from the areas of the city that arent slums, but you doubt your ability to sneak into places without getting caught

>How are your Getting Into Empty Locked Buildings skills because Pickle Inspector's convenience store is currently both locked and empty

>How are your Getting Into Empty Locked Buildings skills because Pickle Inspector's convenience store is currently both locked and empty

you think you might have some spare lock picks hidden around from that one time you beat the hapless pawn at a parkour race

you search through your belongings before you find what you are looking for, one lockpick and a handfull of bobby pins

it will have to do

before you head out you think hard and make sure this is the thing you want to do

what do?
>
((this one is just a yes/no thing, since you two are the only people actually commanding ill leave it up to you two to decide))

((Chances are that the store won't have what you're looking for, PI has a habit of only selling things noone really wants, unless you plan to gorge yourself on candy and then get drunk))

((ww doesnt know that, ww just knows that its a convenience store and it would be convenient for her for there to be food for her to eat))

((Well, PIs "Convenience" store does sell "food", so you can probably find something eadible there))

((why the " over convenience?))

((People never get what they actually want, unless it's candy or alcohol, that doesn't sound very convenient to me))

((I mean, read the first five pages and you'll see what I mean))

((But if you break into the store, would you allow me to tell you what kind of "food stuff" you find?))

((oh yeah thats right xD))

((and its your store theres no way id put stuff in there without your say so))

((In that case))

>What are you waiting for, break into the shop!

>What are you waiting for, break into the shop!

you head off from the slums in the direction of the shop

*Eridan and his troupe arrive at the slums at what some of the more imaginative people could describe as the main road*

alright this road i think cuts straight trough the slums an should be relativvely safe so its the best wway to covver lots of ground fast
if shes too far from the road for vvris abilities to pick up on her wwell go around the edges an towward the centre in a spiral to make sure wwe check evverywwhere
if she movves an wwe miss her wwere probably fucked

anyone got a better plan

((Wait are you looking for Eve? AKA my spirit? Just a bit confused, cuz that was the last person Eridan saw right? Unless I missed something, which I probably did))

((We're looking for WW.))

n0pe!

((ie my spirit))

you arrive at the edge of the slums sneaking through a gap in the wall, you decide to climb up to the tallest building and look for the ladies

TH4T 1S PROB4BLY TH3 B3ST W3 C4N DO 4T TH3 MOM3NT

Vriska shrugs.

So do I start looking now, or what?

you realise how stupid it is searching from up here, the slums is literally the size of a quarter of midnight city

where should you start?

what do?
>

>Main-road-ish thing.

>Main-road-ish thing.

good idea

you head out and end up about half way between the main entrance and the 'centre' of the slums

which way do you go to look for them?

what do?
>

((> Try the entrance first.))

*Eridan starts moving again*

alright vvris see if you can pick anythin up

> Try the entrance first.

good idea, maybe you beat them here

you head down the main 'road' dodging pickpockets, vendors, beggars and kids playing kickball

all the while you keep an eye out for the ladies

Vriska lifts a hand to her temple and does the Manipul8-y thing. Except not really the Manipul8-y thing because she isn't trying to Manipul8 anyone, just trying to find a specific mental signature.

((I have no idea how to do this, so. Yeah.))
