I almost duck inside the shack, thinkin' I could use a map or somethin' -- but nah. Bad idea. If I'm bein' tailed, visitor's center'll be the first place they check, 'n no doubt the clerk is some asshole who'll fess up that he saw me the moment they show 'im my photo.

Fuggit. I can find my way around here, ain't like the island's huge or nothin', 'n I got my memories from when I was a kid to go off of. I head down the path a bit 'n climb up one of those big dunes to get a good view of the town. Smack dab in the middle is this weird fuckin' building, no clue what that is. Looks like that might be a store or two to the left of it... behind that I recognize the Firepit Inn. Way behind it I think I see the canals and the pier... I think I remember there bein' a little bar and grill there? Somewhere around here there should be some kinda seafood joint too, but I don't see it. Off to the right there's a buncha cottages on stilts and what I'm gonna assume is an apartment building. There's a rocky slope leading up to the left of me, and I think I can see some kinda house at the top.

I need a place to stay, clothes 'n supplies, and a way to make a lil' extra cash. Gettin' kinda hungry too. Just gotta figure out what I'm gonna get first, 'n where to look.

Might as well see what that new unknown building is. Might have work for you there.

The cottages seem too out in the open to break in during daytime. The two other prospective destinations would be the weird building and the house on the hill.

I think the house on the hill is remote enough to warrant checking out first.

Hey, you know how to open doors right? You can make a job out of that. You can be a locksmith as a cover.

>>943586
That doesn't seem like an entry-level job, and starting your own business might garner some unwanted attention.

The large mystery building might be a community building. Might be a good place to get the lay of the town without being as obvious as a visitor's center.

>>943567
Go eat, maybe we can steal something from some clueless fool.

Stores might not be the most safe place to head into either. Bar might be someplace better for when we can afford to hand out a little hush money.

Let's scope out that mystery building for now.

Mmmmmmystery building!

That huge-ass building's buggin' the crap outta me. What the hell is it, and why's it only got windows at the bottom? Guess I might as well try to find out.

>Hey, you know how to open doors right? You can make a job out of that. You can be a locksmith as a cover.

You don't get far doin' what I do without knowin' how to jimmy open a lock or two -- shame I didn't bring my picks with me. Still, if they need a locksmith 'round here they prolly either already got one on the island or just call one in from the mainland. Doubt there's much chance of there being an opportunity like that for me -- but I'll keep my ear to the ground all the same, if only 'cause I might could nick somethin' while on a job.

Speakin' of skills, I know a thing or two about bein' a mechanic -- don't think they have any cars or trucks here, but maybe there's a boat here that needs tunin' up. Could prolly parlay that into a job if the opportunity comes up.

It ain't any clearer up close what this place is. There's this big sign above the door in the shape of some kind of symbol, but there ain't any words on it.

A) Head on inside. Should be pretty easy to figure it out once I'm in there.
B) Ask the broad by the door. She prolly works here, after all.
C) Go somewhere else. I get a funny feelin' like I oughta steer clear of this place.
D) ???

>>946178
B.

B fer broad

>>946178
B for Board. Clever. Choose B.

B

>>946178
B

I say go with B. Keep networking!

D: Wait for her to leave, and look at the informative-looking sign she was blocking.

>>946178
B

B because girls with glasses are easy to Bump into and inspect their Belongings.

>>946178
B for bbrdvark.

Can't hurt to ask her about it. Dunno how long I'm gonna be stuck here, anyway, so I might as well try to ingratiate myself with the locals.

"Hey, 'scuse me..."

"Oh! Well hey there!" She looks at me all squinty-eyed for a second, then gets a big grin on her face. "Saaaaay, you're a dingbatter, ain'tcha?"

The fuck is that supposed to mean? "A dingbatter?"

"You know, someone from off-island."

"...Uh, yeah."

"I knew it! Didn't think I'd seen you 'round before. How you likin' the island so far?"

"Only just got here, actually. I was wonderin' what this building here is."

"Oh, this is the Tabernacle! It's like a town hall -- it's got the mayor's office, the police station, the island press, the post office... even the chapel's in there! There ain't much room on the island, so it's kinda handy to have all that stuff under one roof, don'tcha think?"

>B because girls with glasses are easy to Bump into and inspect their Belongings.
Doesn't seem like she's got much on 'er right now. Prolly got a purse inside the building.

A) Keep talking to her.
>Choose up to two subjects:
>1) Ask her about the building's construction. Why's it so tall? Why are there only windows on the first floor?
>2) Ask her about the symbol above the door. Looks kinda like Mickey Mouse, come to think of it.
>3) Ask her where I could find some work. She might know about someone who's lookin' for a handyman or somethin'.
>4) Ask her about where I could stay. Preferably on the cheap.
>5) Ask her about where to get some grub. Got a feelin' my choices are gonna be between seafood and seafood, but it might be worth askin' anyway.
>6*) Flirt with her. Not feelin' too sure of myself after strikin' out with that toucan, but this one at least seems like she ain't stinko.
>7) ???

B) Thank her 'n head inside. Might be able to get some good leads in there, even if I don't much like bein' that close to the cops.
C) Thank her 'n leave for somewhere else. (Please specify)
D) ???

>A) Keep talking to her.
>4) Ask her about where I could stay. Preferably on the cheap.
>5) Ask her about where to get some grub. Got a feelin' my choices are gonna be between seafood and seafood, but it might be worth askin' anyway.

figure keep it to simple, tourist-y questions until we get a better idea of her character.

>>947081
This; also flirt with her because why not?

Looks like this lady works here considering the notice board she's setting up. So we could always return for her at a later time to flirt or ask for further help.

As of now, ask where to stay and ask where to find some work

A place to stay and the strange symbol.

A.) >2) Look, it's a small, isolated community. Gotta make sure you're not going have to deal with some cult that sacrifices outsiders in wickermen or something.
3) Get some work so you can pay for grub and lodgings

A)
4) Stay (preferably cheap)
6) Flirt. You never know, might fix the place to stay problem.

Either way a roof over our heads will be needed so lets try to knock that one out.

>>947080
Ask her about a cheap place to stay and if she is looking for a handyman, flirt with her too.

>>947080
2, 4

4 then 6

A: 2 & 4.

Apologies for the update-less bump, but I'd like to get as much input as I can on this: >>/questdis/131253

6 or B.

A2 - Ask her if it's a company logo or something
A7 - Ask her what she's reading on the wall

"Yeah, I guess that does sound pretty handy." And also pretty weird. "So I was gonna ask -- you know where I can get a room on the cheap?"

"Oh! Well, dingbatters usually stay at the Firepit. Some of us island folks stay there too! Not enough houses, y'know."

"Anywhere else?"

"Just the one! The island's pretty small, after all."

Why the fuck does a beach town like this have only one joint to get a room at?

"I 'spose that makes sense. So what's the sign above the door there for, anyway? Some kinda company logo?"

"Logo? Oh! That's the town insignia! It represents community, family, and loyalty, and how those things are tied together. But I always thought it kinda looked like a mouse, you know?"

I guess I see it if I squint my eyes while lookin' at it. "Huh. Yeah, it kinda does."

>Flirt with her.
I start to say the first thing that comes to mind, but then I think back to that toucan bitch. Hmm. Maybe I oughta give this a lil' thought first.

A) Compliment her hair. The fuck is that haircut called again? Beats me, but she looks pretty cute with it that way.
B) Compliment her glasses. Some chicks can pull off the four-eyes look pretty good. She's one of 'em.
C) Compliment her dress. Ain't nothin' special, but it also ain't trashy. Wholesome, even.
D) Compliment her figure. She looks like she takes care of herself, prolly feels at least a lil' bit proud of it.
E*) Proposition her. Some chicks like the direct route. Won't be rude 'bout it, of course, but I'll just lay it all out on the table -- no bullshit.

A

Hmmm either a or b

How do you not pick B?

A - Tell to her how it reminds you of <someone>. Then gesture that you'd like to stroke it or something.

>>956915
Combination of C and D.
Something like how the dress really complements her figure.

I'd go with B. You wouldn't want to go too far--and since it's a small town you wouldn't want word to spread fast that you're some kind of creep.

She's probably self-conscious about her glasses, and hair and figure are probably a bit too forward for her - she seems the type to shy away at the slightest provocation, so going for a direct proposition is likely to backfire horribly and be terrible for everyone involved.

C: Compliment her fashion sense and sensibility. A compliment that highlights her shy wholesomeness without pointing out anything she'd be ashamed of is probably the way to go.

>>956915
B) She looks cute with those glasses.

F COMPLIMENT THOSE EARS

>>957081
Them's some mighty fine ears, yeah.

B.

A

A or B sound good.

B
