You made your way away from the building to avoid the risk of being...well... near a burning building. You could see the problem would be taken care of as firefighter bots blasted the side of the building with hoses. You wandered into a bustling street after passing through some yellow tape. The city was larger than it had appeared to you when you purchased the ice cream. The streets were different, and there was a subway system where it hadn't been hours before. There was no explanation other than the city had shifted... and you were alone. The walls of various buildings were plastered with Mutant Care propaganda. Apparently the mutations that appeared at the lake have been around for quite some time, but only now have people taken notice of these new creatures. You knew in your heart somehow these posters weren't true. They didn't care for mutants, they did something much worse... and Snno... She was lost somewhere here in the city. Shops filled lots of the street corners and vendors shouted their goods. You were weaponless, and your shotgun was lost somewhere in the Motel. You need to find and gain supplies.

Eat at joes

[TeslaCoil]

You noticed the small diner behind you. It didn't have the look of a diner and had sort of that "hole in the wall" look. Maybe you could find a few friendly faces inside?

Stop wondering and get in the building!

enter diner and ask for help

[TeslaCoil]

A loud crash ensued as a man came sailing out the diner door. This place was perfect. It wasn't a diner, it was a bar.

You walk inside and close the door. Just like in the old western films, everyone fell silent as they studied the newcomer. Most people put their hats back on and hid their faces, quietly whispering. You could hear "cop" from a whole lot of them as you made your way across the room.
