Day 3 - 16:51 (For a bit, at least)
Can you believe that this suit was only twenty dollars? And that this portable stove was merely a hundred dollars? And did you see this great deal I got on the-
*Ahem*
Right. You quickly make your purchases and then hurry back to the storage place at the end of town. You set up the inflatable mattress in the middle of the room, since Project EVIL never really taught interior design. It might be a bit weird mixing up chemicals in your bedroom, but it's better than nothing.
Counting up the bills, you've spent $352 to purchase:
Men's Business Suit x 1
Cheap Hazmat Suit x 1
Portable Stove x 1
Cheap Chemistry Equipment x 1
Basic Chemicals x 5
Can of Biofuel x 3
Spartan Bedroom x 1
Two Subway Tickets x 2 (You'd think that the subways would have cameras or guards or something)
Not too shabby.
Finding yourself inexplicably hungry, you devour some airline peanuts with a side of raw potato. Hmm...

Description: Unlike those common, run-of-the-mill clubs, this one is crafted with tender and loving care, greatly increasing its value. It's not deadlier than a regular golf club though. After all, at the end of the day you're still just hitting someone with a giant stick.

Using her amazing powers of mind reading, Jessica determines that somebody is still in the embassy. However she is distracted by the poor state of her vegetable friend, and instead of doing anything to that person, she spends the next couple hours snazzing her friend up. Once the job is finished, Jessica remembers exactly why she was here in the first place.
To find a doctor. Contacting the embassy.

You feel your lack of sleep catching up to you, despite your resistance to being tired. Still, you have work to do.
Finding a warehouse full of junk was pretty easy. Finding a warehouse full of something valuable, less so. Still, you manage to find a warehouse stocked with chemicals near your target, and another one full of suspicious crates further away. Or at least you think those crates look suspicious. Maybe's it's just the light-headedness talking.

Special: Ra-tat-tat: May attack twice a combat round.
Bullet Impediment: RoF is based on the roll of a d10. The RoF changes before each attack.
Description: The UM-45 is named for the fact that it sounds like a person with a speech impediment trying to imate the sound that a SMG makes. Besides a variable rate of fire, the gun is very reliable. Plus, it comes with a built-in ashtray, which is handy for the smoking crazied gunman.

You know what's illegal in the Republic of Hawaii? Child labour. You know who doesn't care? You, of course. Plopping down $250 for tables, benches and materials is more than enough for you to set up a sweatshop in your own home. If only the children were willing to cooperate though. Sure, they're working now, but orphanages aren't exactly known for their high security, and it only takes one escapee to blab to the police. But... On the other hand, these kids make a mean wallet.

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.

Despite being berated by Rick, you head out to the nearest bar to see if you can't make some money or something. Or get pissed drunk. Either would be good, really. You enter the shadiest bar you can find, the 'Three-Legged Mick'. The patrons of the bar glance at you with sullen eyes, but their looks aren't hostile. Maybe their eyes are sunken from industrial chemicals or something. You've heard about a certain chemical from somewhere, that turned people into zombies or something. Or was that from a book? No no no, you've definitively seen it in a news-report on TV. Or something. A movie perhaps. You could never hold your liquor as well as the other guys, and you aren't exactly one of those smart drunks. Speaking of not holding your liquor, it's time to go drain the old mizzenmast.
Having spent a good three hours drinking booze and rambling with the locals, you head into the bar's bathroom to answer the call of nature. One of the patrons follows you, and the two of you spend an awkward couple of minutes at the urinals. Eventually you manage to stumble your way over to the sink, where you manage to soak yourself in water. As you turn around to return to the bar, the patron coughs slightly and asks you a question. It's hard to tell exactly what he's saying with your booze earmuffs, but it kinda sounded like he was offering you a job. Either that or something indecent.
