the forget you ate a box of junior mints and your still hungery

try to locate a texas roadhouse nearby

We have some choices here.

There is a Texas Roadhouse in Manchester, CT but that is 10 miles in the wrong direction.
There is a Texas Roadhouse in Waterbury, CT which is in the right direction, but it is 23 miles away.

Alternatively, we could just buy food. As a last resort, we could also
Tackle some random woman and steal her food

the forget you ate a box of junior mints and your still hungery

Learn to plural scrub. Even so, who has ever gotten full from eating a box's worth of junior mints?

add a stuff-o-meter to the update posts

Good idea.

Sell them at a pawn store

Go to 23 mile one.

You decide to head in the direction of Waterbury. You walk about 5 miles and you feel really tired, but it takes you two hours. There has got to be a faster way that doesn't drain so much energy in so little time. Before going further, you must either rest for 30 minutes or find a less strenuous method of transportation.

Sell them at a pawn store

You decide to get rid of some of your junk. You try to sell some of the stuff at a pawn store, but the guy inside just laughs at you. You toss them in a nearby trash can.

Every convenience store in town is bustling with people on lunch break, it's broad daylight, and most of them have multiple employees during the day. Maybe at night though.

Try to find a nice person and ask them if you could use their shower.


Don't beaches have free showers or something? Try finding one.

break into a empty house to use their shower

Drink a Coke

You drink a Coke and feel a little better, but you're still very hungry.

Don't beaches have free showers or something? Try finding one.

Not a bad idea, but we are still a good 40 miles north from New Haven (the closest coastal city with guaranteed beaches). I may actually try implementing basic maps in the future, although that could be difficult to maintain since I'm always on mobile.

break into a empty house to use their shower

You wander around in a subdivision eyeing some of the houses. You can't really tell if anyone is home in most of them.

Try to find a nice person and ask them if you could use their shower.

A man working on his yard sees you walking around and waves. You walk over to him.

"Hey son, I've never seen you around here. Are you new?"

"Uh....I'm visiting relatives here, but they're gone and I can't get in their house. I really need a shower."

"Oh! No problem, you can use mine! I'm Les Collins by the way."

This man must not be very bright but you take up his offer anyway. He leads you into his house and shows you to the bathroom.

"If you need anything, just holler or come find me! I'll be downstairs."

You take a shower.
