...The guard on the gate is a Transformers fan and has a hidden Ratchet badge that seems to make him part of a secret club. That isn't enough for him to let us through... Ratchet ?! No he is a member of the secret order of prowl fans We're everywhere.... |

I think we need to talk to as many vendors as we kind. Scope out the place more.

SAY, "Sounds good, sounds good. What if I was looking for something that might help to identify my unique personality?" WIGGLE eyebrows.

SHOW keycard to seller
SAY "I'm a great admirer of this fellow here. I would like to look as much like him as possible to show my admiration. Can you help?"

Maybe we need an Enrique disguise which we can top off with some cunning sunglasses and then bribe the guard with a Black Mexican. The wording of the last response suggests disguise is the way forward. The fact we can swap the prowls with the toy seller also suggests we need the right one for a specific purpose. Should have asked the guard what his favourite prowl is.
In the past when we're done with an item we've automatically dropped it, but we still have the keycard so that might be the ID part. It sounds like it has another use.

We don't need to bribe the guard for anything We might. He wouldn't let us through the gate even though we're fellow Prowl fans. He looked at the ID card and said that it clearly wasn't us. So we make ourselves look like Enrique to match the ID and offer the guard a rare Prowl as a sweetener to let us through. It seems unlikely there's a toy stall selling Prowls and a guard who's wearing a secret Prowl badge. The two must be connected. |

Right, so we can get Prowls from the Prowl stall, a mexican outfit from the clothier and presumably sunglasses from the sunglasses stall. The first two want cash though, so we need some before we can get our disguise or go any further. Options?
Go back to the car park and try and sell the bike to the attendant
Try and steal the items we need (no chance of that working on all three stalls)
We busk and try to earn cash with Blueshift's poetry
We ask anyone we've spoken to about running errands for money.

We could sell all the clothes we are wearing.

You have to wonder, though, if the guard is working within sight of the Prowl store, why he doesn't buy a Prowl for himself. Ask him, maybe?

Would a guard's pay afford him a rare black mexican? I dunno. We could try. I'm quite keen to try this angle of selling the bike to the attendant.

We could sell all the clothes we are wearing. We could try. The toy seller might want our pants (which would lead to the chaffing problem), but he and the clothes chap have been pretty clear they only accept cash. |

I think it's quite an achievement we've gone four pages in this thread without dying. Do we want to risk being beaten to death by an irate clothes seller because we suggested he was trying to bribe us? Or draw the attention of the original guard again, who would probably do the same given how he feels about us?

(Pppfffttt!!! Bastard Barricade!!!)
I think we need money. I like the disguise and bribe with a Prowl idea. So maybe ASK if there's anyway to earn money?

"Are you on drugs, son?"SAY "I'm a little strapped at the moment. Are there any opportunities around here to earn money?"
"I like you you weird son of a slog-thrawler." He starts to contemplate the question for a moment, tilting his head and looking up to one side trying to think how he can help.
"Hrm - it's difficult, there are probably a couple of people around who'll buy some stuff, but I'm not aware of anyone myself. Those of us stall holders selling quality authentic goods like mine don't make much from you non-city folk coming in, people are saving their cash for inside y'see. But them in there are making bank, there's no way we can set up shop with the controls in place however.
"Also, you don't appear to have anything of value, that's your problem. Still, at least you don't have to worry about getting robbed un' crunched."

Right then. So people buy things, but we don't currently have anything of value.
GO to vehicle park
SAY to attendant, "So, the speeder I came in on. I could see you looking. Are you interested in buying it? If not, do you know anyone who would be?"

Well THAT's inconvenient isn't it...
Unless he lives among the market stalls I'm not sure we're going to find Jeff because we can't get anywhere else.
We seem to be into another catch 22. We need cash to buy our disguise, but we don't have any way to generate money. I suppose as yet we haven't covered all the basics and that has caught us out before.
Let's follow Blue's instruction and then talk to the sunglasses seller. It would make sense to get the POI counter to zero so we know there's nothing else in this section to uncover.
GO to sunglasses stall
SAY "These look like knock offs to me. What are you charging?"

I fear the game won't let us out of the city again. The info says we are in the clearance area with one connected location, which is the plaza, and we can't get there without going through the security gate. We're stuck in the market until we can work out how to raise some cash.
