One shot fired.

...last I know, I was getting off a train going south from D.C.

Now I ain't no world traveller but I know this place ain't on that route.

Someone wanna tell me where I am and when all them lights and noises gonna stop?

I don't like it when I can't tell if someone about to walk up behind me and shoot me. You wouldn't either if you was me.

D.C.?

As in Washington?

[blue_satin_pjs]

If there another D.C., it ain't on my map.

...course, this place ain't on no map of mine neither.

[repairedbywebs]

No, I don't suspect it is.

I lived outside of D.C. for a number of years. I suspect it remains the same.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Yo, I from B-more; D.C. ain't my place. I was only--

That ain't important now. What is--you got anything on a way out of here?

[repairedbywebs]

Baltimore?

I grew up there.

...no way out.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Eastside or West?

[ignoring that "no way out" thing, because it's obviously not true; that doesn't make any sense]

[repairedbywebs]

Locust Point.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Yeah, that ain't my part of town, but it's still town.

[repairedbywebs]

East side, I'll assume?

[blue_satin_pjs]

Westside. But the Eastside ain't out of my range neither.

[repairedbywebs]

Pardon.

What's your name? I'm Saya.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Omar.

Never thought I'd be in a situation where a girl from Locust Point the most familiar thing to me.

[repairedbywebs]

You shouldn't find the City terribly confusing, although you may want to try and find a place to stay.

May I recommend you try to avoid the Underground.

[blue_satin_pjs]

You're telling a brother from West Baltimore to avoid a place?

I ain't had housing troubles in a while. What's this Underground?

[repairedbywebs]

Above ground isn't safe, but it's not spectacularly dangerous, either.

Parts of the Underground are safe, I would assume, for anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. However, other parts are inhabited by things that don't like to share space.

The Warehouse always has room, but it's not particularly comfortable in terms of luxury. However, I don't find myself thinking that you'll care.

[blue_satin_pjs]

Yeah, luxury don't concern me.

...thanks, though. For the advice.
