Since the game is AUs out from my budget, I have to get my time in on it while I can. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ]The modern Midwest is as alive and vibrant as any larger city on the coasts, but somehow, friendlier and safer. Street music abounds, and several bistros have open-air dining late into the night. Everyone from couples to shift workers come and go, and there never seems to be a lull in the flow of traffic. Billy makes the rounds, is recognized by some older folks, and spots one of his early solo albums in the window of a 99 cent store.  Back at the garage, he’s just seated himself in the pickup when he’s approached by several pre-teens. These boys are definitely too young to be out this late, and too well dressed to be in a gang.As they come closer, its easy to see that they’re identical. Twins.. Triplets… No, there’s five of them. All dressed in khaki polo shirts and blue Dockers. One of them approaches the truck, and smiles with blindingly white perfect teeth. “Mister”, he begins, in a clam and reasoned tone a little beyond his apparent years, “My brothers and I are a little lost. We were supposed to wait in the van, but Jimmy had to pee. Now we can’t find it, and we’re not even sure this is the right garage. Maybe we turned left instead of right after we went to the grocery store or something. Can you give us a ride home?”His tone is even and measured, not at all ingratiating or apologetic. His brothers wait in a semicircle around him. You doubt you could open the door without hitting them. But it clear they want you to open the door. Just a bit. The lock is right there, so easy to pop for the nice young men.“Come on, mister. We can’t come in until you invite us.”[OOC: Roll a Will Save. If you pass, roll a Spot Check.]</blockquote>
