Is there a nearby citadel?

Abbie: A supermarket called Buy Plus, buy more spend-less.

I will take you there someday.

Ichabod: You paid, for water.

Why not drink from one of the thousands of taps around town or the lake?

After we finish the kits why don’t you meet with the Masons, while I grab Corbin’s

Ichabod: The Masons say they’ve discovered information of how best to exploit the

Are you certain you can forgo such a conversation?

Abbie: They won’t let me, they know that the no girls’ policy really gets under my skin.
