There was a bald, heavy-set man standing behind a counter. A number of makeshift wooden tables were available to sit at, although only three other people were present, all rather sad looking homeless types.

Morrigan headed straight for the counter. She had by now changed into the new clothing that hopefully made her look as if she belonged.
"Hi!" She said brightly. "I'm looking for a meal. Anything quick and filling. And maybe you could help me out as well?"

The man nodded and turned around, beginning to dump a healthy portion of some kind of sauced meat into a tortilla shell.
"What's it you need?" he asked.

"I'm new here. I was hoping you'd tell me about this place. Who lives here and stuff. Where I can find a job and lodgings."
She hoped ordinary questions would help to begin with.

"No jobs here." He replied, "Not really. Mostly odd jobs. Scrap collecting, recycling. You ain't look like a drug pusher or a thief, so that's out. And all sorts of people live here. Anyone who can't afford to, or don't want to live up there by their rules."

"Oh, right. Thanks. I heard some guy called Rebar was looking for people to work for him?"

"Maybe you are a thief than," the man replied with a shrug, "I ain't heard that, but good luck to you if its true."

"Thanks."
She paused to take a bite of the food.
"Do you know Rebar then?"

"'Fraid not. I stay away from that kind of thing. But if you wanted to ask around... try the Stooge's, it's a bar. Or else you could ask Vinn Flash, he sells dope on the corner. Take a left out the shop, and go down two blocks if you wanna find him."

"Sure. Thanks. What do I owe you?"
She decided to try the bar. She wasn't into drugs, never had been, and was nervous around such people.
