Mage dont you live in Jersey? You should know its not even safe to go up north, Id probably have to cross through Newark at some point to and Id be shot within like 10 seconds
When I moved here I grew up in North Jersey. Newark isn't that bad if you know who to talk to. Regardless, your probably right. They see a stick like you (No offence, of course, you have a lovely body and all, but you need to eat lunch sometimes...) and they smell fear in a moment....You'll need a cover.
I know! I'll get you a car, you drive it up to New York, make one stop, and you'll be fine. Just don't open the trunk. Or answer your phone. Try to stay in dimly lit streets, too...
