Day 1 - 17:35 (EVENTUALLY)
You head back 'home' to your loving 'wife' so that you can 'remember' your 'PIN' so that you can 'afford' all these 'air quotes'.
'When' When you enter the house you notice that Muriel has gone back to watching her soap operas. Her eyes narrow at the sight of you. Either she's highly suspicious or she's trying to seduce you. Probably the former, as she has just pulled out her pistol and pointed it at you.

While moving through the city, you are confronted by a semi-sane hobo. Thankfully he doesn't have a shotgun, instead wielding only a dirty knife. Unthankfully he seems preoccupied by the notion that it should go through your chest. Several times, in fact. You suspect that you are only being attacked because everyone else is having a Blow-by-Blow Sequence. Such thoughts are metagaming, and thus is frowned upon by Project EVIL.

While scouting for a base of operations, the police dune buggy swings around again. Lacking any convenient bushes to hide behind, they easily spot you. The buggy pulls up, and a cop jumps out of it. His buddy stays behind, in the vehicle.
"Hey buddy, are you lost? Want a ride back into the city?" asks the first cop.

Special: Silent Killer: Attacks are completely silent. Guards probably won't have overactive imaginations, so try to kill them with the first throw.
Backstab: DMG: 8 with a sneak attack.
Description: It's a knife. A nice knife, yes, but not the kind of knife that would warrant a long description. At best it'd probably have a really nice handle, or maybe a blade with no notches in it. Really, what can you do to snazz up a knife like this? Sure, you could add gold and jewels and other fancy stuff on it, but what's the point? For a common, average, work-a-day knife, you wouldn't want to fancy it up so much in case the you break or ruin it. What you want is a common, easy to get knife. That way, it's not some distinctive piece of evidence they can use when you stab a man with it. Knowing you, you'll stab a lot of men with it.

After much pleading, bargaining and copious amounts of fake tears, you finally manage to convince the operator to tell you the PIN. That is, of course, if you can show up at a nearby bank branch and provide valid identification. Checking the time on your fancy new cheap-ass cell phone, you realize that you have only an hour before the banks close down for the night.

You slowly make your way to the city. You enter the industrial zone, since it look half-deserted, even at this hour. Luckily for you, you manage to run into a pair of muggers, just in case you wanted to practice your social and not-dying skills. Both are tall, skinny and wearing ragged clothes. One carries a knife, the other a bent stick of wood.
"This," declares Graeme McKnifeuser solemnly, "is a mugging. Hand over your stuff and you won't get hurt."

After being driven temporally insane by Dark Gods and Poor Writing, you head out of the mines and into the amusement park. On the bridge to the park you encounter three security guards confronted a scruffily clothed man with a rather stylish red tote-bag. Clearly some sort of post-reading device is needed to figure out what the hell is going on.

Pissed, you head out of the amusement park to see if you can't steal some items off the public beaches. However, as you are crossing the bridge to the mainland, a modified golf-cart swings out in front of you. Three security guards with glorified clubs step out of the cart. How they could fit their massive egos in that tiny cart at the same time is beyond you.
"Mind coming with us for a few questions?" a guard says as if he was in an 80's cop movie.
