//So pretty much all of Chapter 2 thus far? I don't know, I'm not really the re-capping kind... Here's an idea: Read it. It's not so bad, given that most of the posts are sentence-long progression suggestions.

You take a look at the OLD MAP with new eyes. Most of it is still a bit faded and incomplete, but you can definitely make out a few landmarks, now that SKELLY's drug-addled mind has started to fill in the blanks. You wonder how much more SKELLY knows.

[Archem]

You ask SKELLY about REALMSPHERES, but he seems to become violent and confused upon hearing the word. So you change the subject to PIRATES. SKELLY loves PIRATES (you think). Sure enough, SKELLY begins rattling off PIRATE FACTS, and focuses heavily on WEALTHBEARD THE SWASHBUCKLER. Apparently, he's a local legend, and supposedly BURIED his FORTUNE somewhere in this town. But you knew that already. He seems to know a lot, but he suddenly seals his lips. It's clear he knows more, but for whatever reason, he's not talking. You wonder if you should ask why he's so suddenly silent.

> Ask him if he wants to search for the treasure with you.

[Archem]

You ask for SKELLY and his expert PIRATE advice to join you on your quest to pay the RENT, but he declines your offer. Apparently, he won't go anywhere without his BLING, which he earned from all his years as a STREET PHARMACEUTICALS PROFESSIONAL.

>Offer to help him find his BLING.

>Ensure SKELLY that you will "CAP A BROTHA" to help him.

[Archem]

Through the use of a bit of UNINTELLIGIBLE "STREET" TALK, you convince SKELLY to join the cause upon completion of a favor. SKELLY informs you that the ABANDONED BUILDING across the street from your APARTMENT, which acts as a BASE of sorts to the local STREET GANG, is where his BLING resides. It seems that he had to offer it as payment for PROTECTION.

>ENTER said BUILDING through the FRONT DOOR.

[Archem]

You cross the STREET, not bothering to LOOK both ways beforehand, and nearly get flattened by a CAR. You could have DIED. Didn't your MOTHER teach you anything? Of course she did. MOMMA didn't raise no fool. Having just JAYWALKED past danger, you find yourself just before the entrance of the ABANDONED BUILDING. Entering through the FRONT DOOR would be thoroughly IDIOTIC, as there are several ARMED THUGS on the STOOP. Perhaps you should look for another way in.

> Wait, don't do that. You've died enough today.

> Walk around the building, and try not to look like you're looking for a way in.
