You tried to put together a kit like this before hunting the Bane, but you didn't have any money. Now you splurge: insulated pants, a wool fisherman's sweater in olive green, and a long reversible coat, patterned gray-blue on one side and gray-green on the other. Socks and undergarments are easy, but the only gloves in your size are too bulky for delicate work. That's fine. If you're outside, you need to stay warm, not type on a laptop. The resulting outfit is good for hiding out in the woods while also letting you wander around town without looking like a maniac.
The clerk glares at you the whole time. The People of the Map will never trust you. Ignoring those hard, cold eyes, you also buy a lighter, some maps, a roll of toilet paper, and some plastic baggies in case the snow turns to rain. Then you pay and get dressed.
But as you spot your Rebel-soldier-on-Hoth reflection in a mirror trimmed with flaking gold leaf and sort through your remaining money, you realize that one of your folded bills contains a receipt. Banicki Gunworks in some place called Northampton.
Oh damn, a "clue." You've never actually "found a clue" before. That's pretty cool. You can't call the place since you don't have a phone, but it's time to hit the streets and learn about that saddle.
