So here I am. Spent all my money getting here, to this dump of a city. I get here, and I'm hoping against hope that my uncle is going to let me work in his fish shop. You see, my past is what some people might call "checkered." It's also what some people might call "a steaming pile of emergency bowel evacuations that happened while staring down a battalion of enemy mages." You shouldn't ask, it's not important.




The sign says it's still a fish shop. And the writing makes it look like my uncle is still the owner. I'm just worried what kind of nickname he's going to give his niece when she walks through those doors. The niece being me. I am the niece.

I think it's time for you guys to try to make my life magical with suggestions.

[King_of_the_weasels]

He'll call you Wee Guppy.  Since he's like a fish guy.

[Supernerd]

Maybe don't mention that you are his niece unless you need to in order to get the job. You might be able to avoid the nickname that way!

Yeah, you're right. Or you would be if my uncle were like normal people. He gives everyone nicknames. And they're all idiotic.

[Tersr]

He calls you "Mark" because "you seem like one"

[Willfor]

<Uncle> Hey Mark!
<Mark> I have a feeling that opening my life to suggestions out of sheer desperation was a bad idea.
<Uncle> What?
<Mark> Nothing. So what happened to all the fish? Also, I want a job.
<Uncle> The fish is a long story. Also, I can only give you a job if you want to work at some ... under the table stuff?
<Mark> Will me telling you that I'm your niece help me get an over-the-table job?
<Uncle> No, but it will make me try to remember your real name.
<Mark> The story about the fish is related to the under-the-table job, isn't it?
<Uncle> Yup.

Okay, magical suggestion people, I just got out of a line of dishonest work. I'm not sure I want to get back into it right away. What do you think I should do?

[Heron TSG]

>Get dishonest. It's time to get back at society.

[Tersr]

> Get dishonest, for now, get some dirt on him and blackmail/get him arrested.

[Willfor]

<Uncle> So you're going to take the job?
<Mark> The voices in my head say so.
<Uncle> ... Okay. We can work with that. So there's this guy downtown who came in and told me that I could keep my fish or my kneecaps. I'm rather attached to my kneecaps. So yeah, now I have no fish.
<Mark> Don't you get fish shipments?
<Uncle> Once a month. Do you know how far away from the sea we are?
<Mark> So your fish aren't fresh. At all.
<Uncle> Never have been, and never will be.
<Mark> How much are you going to pay me to take care of the fish mafia?
<Uncle> Whatever you can pry from their cold, dead hands?
<Mark> You know, you were never my favorite uncle.



I know what I have to do. I have to make sense of this map, and somehow get to this fish mafia place.



Whoever planned this city decided to make the main roads not make sense at all. At all. Look at this map. Does this look like a proper street layout to you? No. Anything that's not a street there is either a building or an alley. You can't get to some places without going through alleys.



Now I'm here.



This looks like the place. I wonder if he'd be interested in getting a leg breaker? I mean, the guy's found a way to make use of some unfresh fish. He's got to have some kind of talent at what he does.

Chat with those two tall grey guys.

[Pandarsenic]
