What: Jake's giving Maria a tour of the city Where: In town/back at the Ostrich Villa When: After Maria's arrival Warnings: Violence in the second phase
Ever since his room mates left, Jake had been enjoying the peace and quiet of his private quarters. He rarely left the apartment if he didn't have to, because the quiet was a nice change of pace. He browsed the network almost daily, but didn't even bother to talk to many people. He was trying to be something of a hermit right, but it was getting old. He was growing bored and restless with it. He was a man of action, and sitting around doing nothing might be nice for a little while, but after a few weeks, it was starting to feel oppressive. He needed to get out, meet people, do something worth doing.
He'd seen Maria's message, and it was clear she was a new arrival. That seemed a good place to start. It turned out she had friends in town already, but he had already reached out when he realised that. He'd offered to show her around town. She'd agreed, despite having friends who could probably give her the grand tour. He didn't question why, he was just glad to have a real reason to leave the apartment.
