This will be the last command you give for the Night Phase.
Jacky returns to The Hideout. It appears that no one is here at the moment, but she can now brew liquor or rest up if she wants.
Paul heads backstage and notices several of the girls running around in various states of dress. It appears there is a couple of men arguing outside of a door in the alley, and one of the girls is in tears with makeup running down her face. Another one is yelling at some other people and seems to be angry about her costume. It appears that she's the main act tonight. There's also the door to the costume closet wide open, and Paul is a bit outplace without his corset like always....
Clide continues on through the sewers. Now and then he can see light streaming from topside and hear various noises. The wet footprints are slowly drying and it begins to grow harder for him to figure which way to go. Clide thinks he sees them go forward, a Questionable act using Ingenuity, and ends up finding a door. [Roll 7v6]. It appears the room is mostly empty, with a table and a chair overturned. There's some papers on the table with various numbers and names on them and a pile of ash on the ground. The butt of a cigar is still warm to the touch, so it look like whoever was in here left in a hurry. In the back of the room is a bookcase with a few books on it, a few crates with empty liquor bottles in them, some overturned and a deck of cards strewn around, and a ladder that appears to lead to a manhole above ground.
Lana and Margarita head back to Lissa who's now sitting at a table. She's smoking a cigarette and looking kind of bored. "Hey gals, let's blow this pop stand. I could go for a bite so let's hit the Dine and Dash. Lan, you gotta come with me to that new Department Store in Forcet Heights tomorrow. I gotta get some spiffy new rags for the party. Oh and bring your friend here! The more hens the merrier!". Lissa hops up and starts dragging Lana's hand towards the exit.
Forcet Heights have been discovered! The more glitzier part of town, this is the location of the brand new Department Store, several upscale restaurants, the Govenor's Mansion, and even the Marina where some of the less illicit boats are kept. Casa Bella and Chez Rouge are always great places for dates, if you don't mind the Italian mob as much.
