Erica's been in Atlanta for a couple of weeks now. She's... managing. She knows all the shelters she can stay at, and she's found some places that will let her work for cash. Mostly restaurants, a couple stores that need help with restocking, those kind of gigs. It helps if she blanks the managers a little when asking for work. She's found nothing long term, certainly nothing interesting, but it keeps her in food, and occasionally she'll make a few bucks.

And here she's free.

That night, she heads for a restaurant near the shelter she's currently in. She's been there a couple times before; they do live music, some nights, and need the extra help. She'll get dinner and a few bucks for helping with the dishes. She walks in through the back door, trying to stay out of the way of tonight's band, and scans the room in search of the manager.
