You decide to return to the Diner to get your stuff back- and pick up your UBI check. Of course, since you have to walk everywhere, it won't be fast, but you should be able to squeeze in both trips today.
You go to the diner first. Speaking to the owner- he gives you a little box where he put all your campaign materials and masks. He also mentions something offhanded to you.
"Ehh- my favorite customer. I saw you run out yesterday leaving all your stuff here! Must have been a big emergency, huh?"
<span class="mu-r">"Oh, uhh, yeah."</span>
"And you put on a clown mask too?! That must have been some emergency!"
<span class="mu-r">"Haha, yeah, it was uhh... some live action roleplaying stuff. Really off the cuff."</span>
"Ahh. Well, you can do that kind of stuff if you want, I'd just prefer it if you didn't leave your stuff here!"
<span class="mu-r">"Well, sorry... Speaking of, I had a pair of scissors with my stuff. It was a nice one too- sharp- like it was fresh from the factory. Do you know what happened to it?"</span>
"Ehh-? Sorry bud. Somebody probably took it when you rushed out. That's how it goes. Maybe if I was a bit faster."
<span class="mu-r">"It's alright. Thanks."</span>
Well, sadly, you lost the scissors. Dammit. You should blame yourself for leaving them behind but... still, something about it urks you. Why would someone just steal it when left out like that? It's like they don't even consider other people at all- you just see something you want laying out and take it while no one is watching? That's the kind of mentality that most people in this city have- it's something that bugs you.
On top of this- the diner owners words also reach you in a different way. You realize that returning to places or speaking to those who saw you, even with a mask, may be a way to <span class="mu-i">reveal your identity</span>, which is something you don't want- you don't want those punks to know you were the one who fought back against them. Even just the one- you should try to lay low for a while. You even considered not wearing your red hoodie out today but...it's your only one so, you'll just have to avoid their normal areas. Speaking of which, time to go pick up your check.
