The Solaris Files: Dominican Republic

Tell them that you have disguised yourself as Solaris in order to get in on a secret exchange he was having, but he surprised you and is on your tail. You need them to guard the front of the building while you go inside and find another disguise to throw his trail off of you.

Bravo, what a brilliant plan! A genius is you, Solaris! Confident that your foolhardy plan of reverse psychology will work, you jauntily stride to the thugs at the costume store front. Naturally, the criminal wardens draw their party-favor firearms your-head-wards. Fortunately, you managed to call off your death-by-celebratory-decorations by lying that you are the Evil Doctor Diabolico himself. The four demand an explanation and of course, you agree.

Your explanation is…wacky, to say the least. It’s ridiculous, it’s insane, and most of all, it’s unbelievable. The realism of this persuasion overdosed on acid, punched a bear, and took a one-way trip to the sun. Surprisingly, your ruse…works! Apparently, your explanation is so out of there, it had effectively stunned the feeble minds of the wardens, as they stand around like idiots, mouth slightly open, as they attempt to figure out what is with your story. Effectively, the entrance is left open for your leisure to mosey.

You do that, but first…

>Appeal to their sense of costuming expertise. Ask the thugs to evaluate your Solaris costume.

The four guards are too stunned to follow most of your commands! However, one of them managed to pick up a partial through his mind-numbed senses.

“Needs work.”

What a party pooper! Screw the guards. Anyway, you go in order to complete your quest for fake facial hair. The inside of the costume store is like any other costume: musty-smelling and messy. Signs hang from the ceilings indicating what types of costumes are underneath.

On your RIGHT is the HALLOWEEN, DRAMA, and ACCESSORIES section. On your LEFT is the MAKE-UP, SEWING, and of course MUSTACHE section. You can see the CASHIER REGISTER in the MIDDLE FRONT, and the UNISEX BATHROOM on the distant FRONT RIGHT.

Before you could go on your mustache raid, there is apparently a large CROCODILE in the middle of the store for some reason. Other than its freakishly huge size, the reptile looks like a regular crocodile. Currently, it is asleep, basking underneath the fluorescent light. Obviously, this makes you slightly uneasy. Maybe you should do something about that.
