You think you probably lost consciousness from the impact or elsewhere along the way, eventually coming to and feeling like you lost in a game of chicken with a semi truck. You want to imagine that if you were seriously injured then you wouldn't be able to move as well, but it's still with a lot of pain regardless. Gingerly pulling yourself up and out of the dumpster, to land on the pavement outside it with a groan.
<span class="mu-b">"Bwuhuhuuuh... daddy... I wish dad were here..."</span>
You try not to sob too much from the pain, and rather more from just the overall stress and trauma of the day. Ending up in the gutter doesn't help either. For what it's worth though, if anyone knew where you were or were still after you, they certainly would have caught you by now. And fortunately you had the good sense, while struggling with Jetstream, to tie off the end of your trash bag of valuables around your neck... well maybe not the smartest idea for as risky as that could have been, but you do still have the bag with you. Weakly loosening it from your neck to look inside, a pained but triumphant villain laugh overcoming the sobs. Plus, well you'd rather not deal with it after how much trouble it caused, but there is the detached jetpack buried under debris at the bottom of the dumpster.
All in all, everything considered, not half a bad end to things. Could have gone better but could have gone much worse. Though you're not totally free yet, still needing a way to escape downtown and get back home. The way you reached downtown in the first place, you drove and parked your car in a parking deck far away from the scene of the crime. And if you needed to you could probably find out where you are and walk back to your car. But in your condition, in your outfit, with the trash bag of loot, and potentially even the jetpack? It's not an easy thing to accomplish.
>Try and find a place to hide, even a dumpster if need be, till nightfall. At least you may have recovered more by then.
>Look for whatever you can to try and clothe yourself, and then make your way back to your car.
>Call for help, however you can. Find a phone or something, and get dad (or someone else?) to come pick you up.
>Try and book yourself into a hotel or something, a riskier option but it would serve as an oasis amid this sea of trouble.
>A rotten write-in?
