APPROACH Security gate SHOW Keycard SMILE willingly.
You raise the keycard and give the officer a knowing smile.
"Señor Lopez I'm guessing" he says looking you up and down. "Yes, nice clothing. Almost passable, but you're not quite going to fool the other guards just yet, so I still can't let you through."

That doesn't sound good. If it was him we need to get past the Prowl might do it, but if it's other guards he's worried about they probably won't care. Do we try the Prowl or rethink?

SAY: "What gave me away, mate?"

'fits the image' just seems an obvious nod to the card. It's that image we're trying to replicate because it's Enrique's ID we're using - it's not a generic Mexican we're trying to be, it's Enrique.
What about the food - when we bought food we just approached a random seller and got
You approach one of the food sellers and compliment them on the smell of their food.
"This is Curry Goat" she says in a thick Jamaican accent. "I'm glad you came to my stall instead of one of the others, there are so many to choose from!"
If there are many stalls, is there a Mexican one? Maybe we need to be eating a Burrito. Or, no, wait, what was it Enrique ate in the last chapter? Churros. Can we buy a Churro?

Yeah, that's more like it. I have no objection to you examining the card, mind, but I just think it's more likely to be accessories/smells/accents now. Martin |

Yes, I was hoping the photo might show us something else. I think we've exhausted the options from the clothes seller but there may be a lead on something else. It seems a bit random to have the whole food seller thing for no reason - everything in the game we've been able to interact with so far has had a purpose. If the keycard photo has Enrique with a churro in hand we know we're on to something. Or it could be something like a moustache. We know sunglasses aren't a part of it because he's gone - that was purely the Sunglasses/Shades connection. But the food seller hasn't served a purpose yet.

I noticed a while back that the index reference for the food seller is a URL. If you follow that and download the restaurant's menu, curried goat is the first item on the mains list. They don't sell Churros though - it's all Jamaican, not Mexican.

"Not to you! Get away from my stall!"
He turns giving you the cold shoulder, it seems you've offended him in some way.

The food seller is engaged with customers, it's a busy stall so he's a little brief as he responds.
"180 for five, next!"

SAY: "Done! Thank you! Keep any change!" RETURN to queue, changing into Mexican garb and accent on way.
Cash removed: SP180
Item added: Delicious churros (+1 point)
You don the poncho and sombrero. ¡Ahuevo!
You approach the security gate, the first guard spots the stamp on the back of your hand and waves you through. Fortunately the security desk is manned by the same officer as before.
You raise the keycard and give the officer a knowing smile.
"Señor Lopez again" he says looking you up and down. "Yes, assuming you still have that lovely Prowl is there anything else... Oooh, is that churros I smell?" A wide smile crosses his face as he starts to take care of the administration.
"Uh, yes, well sir, everything seems to be in order you may proceed to the city."
You nod and walk past towards the doors to the city plaza, flanked on both sides by armed guards who eye you suspiciously. Fortunately they seem to have accepted your ruse and you pass through unhindered.
New location: City plaza (+3 points)
As you pass the gates, there is a notable change. The filth and bustle of the clearance area is gone and you're in a pleasant, calm city square. Around you are various buildings, a fast food outlet, an ornately decorated building covered in various posters, a conference centre, a gaming arcade and a bar.
As well as buildings, you can see three main exits from the square, a busy road from the side of the fast food outlet, between the conference centre and the gaming arcade a path and finally to the side of the bar a dark alley. There is also a public Infoterminal.
Dotted about the square itself are various street performers, each with a group of bystanders enjoying the shows. One appears to be out of luck however.
You look up to see blue sky again, enjoying a light breeze and the sun on your face you feel a sense of tranquility - despite starting to feel a little warm.
The moment is soon interrupted from the deep rumble of an engine, roaring from the busy road at too fast a pace comes some kind of large flying motorbike. Large turbines to each side and a chopper style front donned with a large monstrous skull. Its large exhausts billowing smoke as the bystanders dive out of the way as the driver ignores the pedestrianised area to pull up outside the bar.
The large white skinned, red eyed man, donned in leather biker's garb steps down. He surveys his location, pausing on the various groups as if looking for something or... someone. His eyes turn to you, but only briefly before he shrugs, burps loudly, looks to the bar and stomps in.
The square is silent for a moment, before the street performers find new positions, leaving a good space away from the vehicle, only to start up again.

Damn, I meant to say to the biggest, meanest-looking guard that the clothes seller had been speaking disrespectfully of the guard's mother. Oh well.
I fear the slight warmth mentioned here is going to force us to discard the Mexican costume some time soon, or else we will die suddenly and violently from slight warmth, as you do.
INSPECT the ornate building covered in posters, the conference centre and the gaming arcade.
