"Let's just stick to the plan, alright?" You clap your hands. "We'll go to the house and search it." You check to see how your allies think of this. They offer a synchronized shrug. That's about as good of a response as you could expect. "Onwards!" You start walking out of this cube hell of a train station. They are more than happy to follow you.
>YOGA TRAINING: +1 TALENT, WILLPOWER, AND RESTRAINT TO LEX Lex is a lot more relaxed than the others while they follow you through the maze of people and lines inside the train station. For someone built like a brick shithouse, he's moving with a mild fluidness and grace that you don't expect from him. He's still a bulky bastard but something's different now.
He looks at you from the corner of his eye. "Hm. Dunno why. Something about you feels different. The...air around you?" He sounds confused, as if he doesn't know what he's on about. "None of the other people here have it." You simply offer a shrug. You have no idea what he's on about either.

The four of you are now outside of the train station. You nearly gag when the foul, smoggy air enters your lungs. Lex and Ashley groan while Quentin takes in a long, deep breath. That's the first time you saw him breath in a hot second.
The streets are coated in a thick orange haze that reeks of sulfur and smoke. The people passing by on the streets universally have a thick face mask stuffed with something. You think you make out a few flower petals or other plants poking out of the seams. Most of the people are wearing various blue colored worker outfits. Mechanics, welders, construction workers. The most casually dressed person you saw was a small child wearing overalls and tiny, tiny worker boots.
The buildings don't help when it comes to making this place more inviting. Tall, unpainted blocks of stone and steel with blinding orange and white lights pouring out of the windows. All around you is the sound of grinding gears and metal being slammed into shape. All of them blend together into a single uniform haze of grey. Without a map, it would be incredibly easy to get lost here.
"This fucking blows." You mutter. You pull out your map to check where you marked down the location of the house. You start heading down the streets with your allies.
"Guh." Ashley scrunches her nose up. "They keep staring at us. The hell is their problem?"
"Probably because we're not workers?" Lex is pinching his nose with his fingers.
"IT IS A SHAME. I COULD NOT FIND A SUITABLE. UNIFORM FOR THEIR. TYPE."
You're really glad you had your map because fuck, man, even your experience traveling the City still relies on you having LANDMARKS. The buildings and people look the exact damn same no matter how far you walk. Well, correction. The four of you stop in front of a building that stands out like a sore thumb.
It doesn't take long to realize what it is. <span class="mu-b">His house.</span>
