>>6167937>[SUBPLOT: the poor you will always have with you]A woman approaches the front of the building in daylight. She is black. Wearing a sort of homespun dress, carrying an bundlike as though it were an infant. She looks dazed, brutalized. Her short cropped hair reveals several healed wounds to the head, some fresh, and the blood that dripped onto her clothing has dried and discolored the light dirty fabric.
[If my 5th+4th <=10, she will be lucid. If more she will be mad]
A guard spots her coming in from the freeway and tells the Merchant about it.
>she looks alone, carrying a parcel. I dont see anyone else watching from the other posts, but it looks like a Bammel dweller, Gears and Hughs maybe.>keep me posted, I'll watch for her.[If my 4th+3rd <=10, she will be approaching the merchant because of some definite reason. If more she will mull aimlessly around the parkinglot weeping.]
There are others in line. Men and women selling jugs of motor oil, or buying food. Some of them are poor and some rich. Some notice the woman, and others don't.
She is talking to herself outloud.
>dey tink i et de howel baskit but i no did it. Me take etyan ah go wayShe has already been muttering as she crossed the open parkinglot. And now she mulls around outside, unwilling to come in.
[If my 3rd+2nd <=10, someone will inquire about the child. If more they will ignore her.]
After 20 minutes of this the merchant asks for a volunteer to go approach the woman, and find a solution.
[If my 2nd+1st <=10, the preacher will go speak to her. If more, one of the guards will try to move her along.]
