"Yeah, you look cu- Fine. Extra fine?" Duncan said as he reached into his breast pocket to pull out his wallet. He's held onto it from the beginning of whatever happened in his world.
There is probably no more terrible instance of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man — with human flesh.

"Were you about to call me cute?   Are you trying to flirt with me?"  Amy asks, giggling slightly.

"Oh, well you know." Duncan said as he rubbed his beard nervously.

"I could be. What're the odds I fall into the nest of a nice bird-woman such as yourself?"

Amy attemps to look serious, but fails massively.  "Oh my god, was that a bird pun and a flirt rolled into one?   You're [terrible at puns, dude!"

"Oh, well you know what I was going for." He said with a sly look on his face accompanied by a smile.

Quaint General Store

You walk into the dusty old home to see that it is in fact, a quaint general store with a little bit of everything for day to day living. Food stacked on wooden shelves, drinks in busted up over turned fridges, and an assortment of camping gear. It looked like a few rooms in the house were knocked down to make room for all this, as the floor changes abruptly from tile, to carpet, to wood, and finally back to carpet. Splitting the house right down the middle is a long table that separates the "shopping floor" from the back of the store, in the back of the store you can see guns neatly lined up and displayed in their racks, a table stacked with assortments of ammunition, and a small pile of sharp weapons. To prevent people from hopping over the table and looting the place, a chainlink fence as been installed on top of the table acting like a wall. In the middle of this "wall" is a window where the store owner sits shouting at some man who just came in.

"-I DON'T WANT YOUR CHINK CHANGE!" Screamed the store owner, flinging what appeared to be bottlecaps back at the customer who was dressed in a blue jumpsuit. "CASH! COLD HARD AMERICAN BUCKS ARE EXCEPTED HERE! YOU WANNA BUY SOMETHING WITH SODA POP MONEY THEN YOU CROSS BACK INTO YOUR COUNTRY! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!" The customer scooped up his caps, "Fine you bastard, see if you're store is still here when the rest of the guys here about this!" The customer flipped the store owner off and rushed out the door pushing past Duncan and Amy.

The storeowner mumbled something under his breath and readied himself, "I apologize for that... if you hadn't noticed we take cash. Seeing as how you had to sit through that, and you're Deliverance boys. I'll cut you a discount on anything you see."


The Bar

Zaweri and Ivan walk through the double doors leading to the bar, it appeared that The Goldman and his older friend have already began ordering rounds for the bar. One of the "barmaids" leans on you and hands you a shot glass filled with your choice of poison. Whiskey, a man's drink.

Eli "drunkenly" stumbled out the door into... a celebration. It wasn't even a second and he felt the cold feeling of iced booze in his hand. Looked to be the cheapy shit, "Scudd Visor". Wow what a welcome, that drunk den you crawled out of is already looking better.

S T A L K E Rs

One of the Stalkers, you think his name was Stripes or something. Follows behind you. "Alright, I got your back.", he whispers. Your lights bounce to the rhythm of your steps, you crunch across broken glass jars and chemical containers with whatever liquid was in them eroding the linoleum. It felt like you were stepping on freshly chewed gum.

You reach the end of the hallway to see it split into another hallway, if you go left you head down a darkened hallway where you can't see much, and if you go right... you go down a darkened hallway. Not really much to go on, this laboratory doesn't really have any clear markers. Half the paint that used to label these sections are too faded and warped to read and the doors aren't even labeled.

"Ah okay... so uh... does this count as money?" Duncan says as he pulls out his old debit card and sets it on the counter.

The shopkeeper picks up the old bit of plastic. "Hrm... I may have something for this... let me check." The man ducks under the counter, rifling through some old junk. "No.. no.... no.. ah! Here it is." He stands back up with a old card reader in his hand, he blows on it sending a huge cloud of dust Duncan's way. The storeowner wafts the dust away, "Sorry about that, but lets see if it even works." He grabs you card and swipes it real quick. The machine lets out a harsh beep, he swipes it once more and it seems to accept it. "Things old, dust might've messed it up...", he waves your card around chuckling. The machine boops and displays a message, "WE DON'T TAKE AMERICAN EXPRESSWAY!". "Whelp seems like the machine has gone Red, sorry about that. Even then I need cold hard cash my friend."

Store

The bartender lifts an eyebrow at the mention of VISA, "Visa? Do you mean Weavsa? Because we don't take that either. And if you have fifty bucks, then buy something I ain't got all day."

"Alright... sorry it's been awhile since I've been in a real store." Duncan said as he looked around for what he could buy with 50 bucks.

Amy is just looking through the camping gear, seeing if there's anything particularly useful there.

Duncan will buy two things of speedy pills and pocket them in his coat. He then uses his last 10 dollars on a box of condoms.

"Did you want anything Amy?"
