What does Lyra do?
Steal the items! (Confidence +2)
My eyes darted to the shopkeeper, watching as he greeted other patrons. I might be able to slowly sneak towards the exit with my goods, and slip out without him noticing. If he caught me, the police would be on me pretty quickly. Holding the potions, food and other provisions close to my ample bosom, I slowly made my way over to the exit of the store. The open street was filled with people, and I could probably blend right into the crowd if I ran fast enough.
Sure enough, once I saw an easy gap in the steady stream of people, I ran for it. I could faintly hear the exasperated yell from the store clerk as I rushed into the gaggle of people, but I never slowed down. Before I could really celebrate however, a very large man came out of nowhere, and I crashed directly into him. The loose items in my hands went flying, and I quickly picked them up as best as I could in the busy street.
Not slowing down, I continued running, only stopping once I was a few streets over. Looking into my hands to see what I might've missed, I noticed the birth control had been knocked into the street.
"Great..." I sighed, shaking my head as I placed the leftover items into my pack. At the very least, I had enough to get by until I possibly beat another trainer.
Moving away from the marketplace, I continued down the main street, noticing the abundance of hostels in this city. Hostels were the perfect place for most trainers, as most were rather cheap and perfect for travelers. Unfortunately, I was still broke, and wasn't going to be able to sleep in one tonight.
I did need to rest somewhere however, though I was unsure exactly where I could go. My answer came in the form of the nearby park, as I noticed several tents and other camping supplies. Many of the people living in these camps were homeless, and at least half of them were former veterans. The government had definitely failed them, and you could see it just by looking at them.
Was I really going to camp out with them?
