After a few days of running around Rain City to check everything of Shade’s to-do list, you’ll feel right at home in Rain City. Get to know the locals through quick stops at nearby businesses and shake off the long days with memorable nights at the local watering hole. To get you feeling familiar, here’s a few places you can look forward to spending some time… and what little money you have left.
The Rambler & Gambler:
We all need a convenience store for the convenience of what it has in store. But there’s something about this place. It’s brand new, fully stocked, always open, but never busy. We used to think it was something to do with the location, but maybe it’s related to the nervous disposition of the owners, like they’re always holding something back. Either way, they sell the freshest pineapples in town, so who can complain.
The Crapyard:
It’s ZZ’s domain, well, hers and her cats. You can get all sorts of parts from Zee. She’s pretty famous in old school engineering circles and never sells a dud, but be warned that your purchase might come with some choice observations and a hefty bill to boot. Gear up for a few truth bombs to go with each mainframe upgrade.
The Midnite Rider:
Where you lay your hat is home, but where you lay your drink might become someone else’s if you’re not quick around here. It’s a great spot as long as you keep your head down. Joy is running the place now, and although she set’s a real relaxed vibe around the place, it’s hard to ignore the, eh, interesting characters that have turned up since she took over… and oh, the conversations you’ll overhear. Give Joy a few moments of your time and she will tell you what your drink is, which sounds cool, but could also just be how she keeps her inventory fresh.
