Um... ^_^;

Really sorry about the massive pause. I'm doing this again. For real this time.


>Crash through window to make an awesome entrance!

Hai-yEEEEOUCH!

Lousy stupid goddamn Perspex!

> Say "I'm here to interview and break washing machines, and I'm all out of washing machines!"

You barge in, disturbing a scene which you would have sworn could only be a deliberate allusion to Edward Hopper's famous 1942 oil painting, Nighthawks, if this were a work of fiction, which of course it isn't.

You proclaim your intentions to the room with great gusto.

>A group of people? Pishaw. Everyone knows interviews go far better when they're one-on-one. Kick in the the door, capture the prettiest looking one, and run off with her/him to a secluded location for maximum interviewing potential.

You grab the redheaded woman at the bar and attempt to carry her away.

In an instant, everyone else in the room is pointing a gun at you.

The woman suggests that you reconsider your planned abduction.

>Hide under the counter, holding the woman as a shield in front of me while I try to retrieve or grab a weapon.

You dive under the counter, using the woman to as a shield. She flails about, insisting very strongly that you let her go. Insisting with her elbow against your jaw, in fact. That hurts!

There are no weapons down here. You're going to have to check your inventory.

> Check inventory... any guaranteed-escape items?

You search frantically through your backpack. Your bizarre household weapon looks woefully inadequate in comparison to those guns. Aside from that, you have a small ball of string, two rubber bands, a USB drive, a Biro, your key, a sachet of sugar, 55p, a shopping list, a yo-yo, and a map of your apartment on the back of an old Toblerone wrapper.

> Take note of condiments on tables- see if you can replace your Tabasco once your heat's died down

The diner doesn't have any Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce, alas. Your hopes weren't high. That is seriously hardcore stuff; few places stock products of such quality.

> Ingest Sugar for a Speed boost

You swallow the sugar.

Your Sprint meter slightly increases. Your Adrenaline meter, already full to bursting, goes into HYPER MODE.

In Arial, in block capitals. SO HARDCORE.

> Fire rubber band at dishes to cause an escape-covering distraction

You launch one of the bands at a stack of dishes, toppling them onto two of the guys with the guns.

You abscond the hell outta there, your hyperactive Adrenaline meter giving you an extraordinary speed boost. A bullet whistles past your head, punching a hole in the toughened glass door.

Whew.

You don't stop running until you are absolutely certain you are no longer being followed. Your heart is still pounding heavily in your chest, and you have absolutely no idea where you are.

All things considered, you've had more successful interviews.

Now what?

>Break out into a tired dance

You do a little dance, but your heart isn't in it.

>Follow the sound of traffic to what will hopefully be a place you can rest.

You follow the sound of the traffic out of the alleyway. You don't come to this part of town very often.

There's a Trauma Inn over there, but with only 55p on you, there's no way you can afford to stay there, and there's no way you're going to be able to afford a meal, either.

>Well, all that running is sure to have made us hungry. Let's find a place to eat lunch!

You guess maybe you can pick up something from this store to keep you going. You pay Summit and Uvver a visit.

The selection here seems kinda limited:

Toblerone - £1.20
Crunchie - 55p
Walkers Ready Salted - 45p
Bananas (bunch) - £1.50
Apple - 30p
Bread - 70p
