Talking to the locals seems like a good idea but they probably wouldn't know much, and besides they look pretty shady. and walking straight into the city sounds like a good way to get mugged, or killed, or both. So Jinx settles on the guard stationed at the dock
"Hello?"
she asks
"I just got off at the dock and I'm a little lost, do you mind helping me around?"
"Yes! of course!"
the guard responded in a performatively authoritative voice
"what is it you need help with, ma'am?"
"well..."
Jinx hesitates before she answers, she wonders if immediately asking for directions to the underground city would flag her as suspicious, but she decides to continue anyways
"I'd like to know how to get to the underground city"
The guard pauses for a bit, thinking of a way to answer Jinx's question
"are you sure? the folk in the underground city aren't exactly open to newcomers, In fact they're quite hostile to them. If you really wanted to get down there you'd need to find an opening hatch deeper in the city. You're pretty far out here in the docks. there's a shortcut to the inner city by the Old Port Motel but after that you're on your own. Not that I'd want to go down there with you anyways, most people have no reason to go down there unless they're up to something suspicious"
Suddenly the guard looks straight into Jinx's eyes, bluntly asking her.
"you aren't up to anything funny, right?"
