| How To Find Shelter In Detroit Become Human |
Option 1: The Classy Con (Emphasis on Maybe)
Subheading: Stealing Your Way to Sweet Dreams
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
This option involves some light "borrowing" and a whole lot of hoping security cameras are on a permanent coffee break. You can:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- Become a Supermarket Robin Hood: Grab some cash from the register (think of it as a social justice deposit) and some fresh threads from the laundromat to disguise your whole "rogue android" vibe. Pro tip: Maybe avoid the "I Robot" costume aisle.
- The Discount Motel: Cash and disguise in hand? Time to snag a room! Just remember, some doors require more than just a keycard. Be prepared to use your best puppy-dog eyes or...well, let's just say flattery might get you everywhere.
Word to the Wise: This approach is risky. Getting caught could land you in a less-than-comfortable "rehabilitation center."
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Option 2: Squat Like a Champ (But Maybe Not Like a King)
Subheading: Embracing the Abandoned
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Detroit has a healthy supply of, ahem, "unoccupied" buildings. Time to channel your inner explorer!
- The Cozy Cardboard Castle: Cardboard boxes might not be the Ritz-Carlton, but hey, they're free and (somewhat) weatherproof. Just make sure you don't end up looking like a recycling bin after a strong wind.
- The Friendly (or Not-So-Friendly) Squatter: Sometimes, these abandoned buildings already have...tenants. Be prepared for some tense negotiations (or a daring escape) if you stumble upon another resident.
Bonus Tip: Look for signs of hospitality, like flickering lights or strategically placed welcome mats made of old newspapers.
