Where are you?

A-ah. Of course. It's a bench...
... well not just any bench. It's your bench - you've been sleeping here for some time now. As you sit up, you hear a gasp, and a passing jogger shies away, jogging on. Nice leggings. Nice legs under them.
Ah. Well, welcome to your rootless life. You're a little hungry, and look in your bag. Nothing. Oh yes, you remember now... what happened last night. Shit.

You were in debt to a loan shark and they took everything from you.

> Combine options.
Well, it all goes back to... uh... ah, never mind. Long story short - some guys came to you last night, looking for a debt you owed.
You didn't have money.
So they beat you, of course. And they took whatever they could. Not that it matters, because you still have your little secret store... of three dollars and fifty cents.
Well, that's all you got now.
> Cash: $3.50
You're going to need more money round here. But how're you going to get that? Hmm. Where should you go...

You don't know... well, $3.50 won't get you anything out here. But you know there's a shelter nearby, and maybe you can get yourself some food...
On the way to the shelter, you take in your situation. For about three months now you've been in this neighbourhood of the city, which is mainly residential. Besides the usual buildings in every neighbourhood - you know, churches, high street, police, bus stops, stuff like that - perhaps the main thing about this area is...

> ... a big stadium.

Well, there's nothing much really, this bit of town is quite suburban...
... except for the industrial district, you suppose. This part of town, being on the inland side of the city, has a lot of factories in a few different areas. There's places making spare parts for cars, there's recycling plants, heavy machinery...
These factories are why there are so many people living round the region. You've heard it said that some companies buy whole levels, or whole blocks, of apartments here, and then rent them out for their workers. Which is why it's such a thriving place.
And that's a good thing for you. You pass the church, then go to the shelter. Nice. Turns out they're having visiting volunteers - and it's from a local high school. A cute girl with pigtails sees you come in.
'Are you here for the lunch?'
> Yes, thank you.
> I'm here to ogle you while having lunch, sure.
> Other.
