>and you can hold us - and the delivery boys - to it!

LOL...why does this remind me of the "Deliverator" sequence at the
beginning of Snow Crash...? (Now there's an idea..."We need you to deliver
this...box. It's urgent. If it's not there in 25 minutes, a great deal of
money will be lost. You have to hurry..." OMG...I think I see the plotline
for our next "stress-relief" SR session...)

Seymour's Sidearms - Stuck in the Barrens? On the run from a pack of troll
gangers? Stop by our store and we'll get you the hardware you need!
Weekly specials guaranteed on-hand and in-stock! Can't shell out the jack
for that brand new Savalette Guardian 'til next payday? We also carry
slightly used firearms in good condition, guaranteed by our
firearms experts. Open late!

Safe Haven, Inc. - Is the traffic murder on the way home from work? Worried
about those unsavory looking "street persons" following you? Has
it just been a long day at work? Safe Haven, Inc, offers deluxe
accomodations for those days when you just can't make it home. For a
yearly premium and a modest nightly rate, you can stay with us, Safe
and Protected (c). Our high-quality, secured facilities offer the perfect
spot to spend a night in the heart of Seattle's corporate sector.
(Nightly rates must be paid in advance. Please be prepared to provide
membership information and retinal scan identification)

[Like a corporate apartment building, only more expensive and with
more security. For those GM's who need to throw that plot twist into that
mid-level corporation extraction job...]

Body by Garm - When you're an ork or a troll, it's always hard to walk into
a gym and find the right workout equipment for you. Even those
"Meta-friendly" gyms usually only have a few pieces. Buying the equipment
for yourself can be pretty exepensive...and sometimes a chummer on a
budget can't manage that. Body by Garm specializes in ork and troll
equipment, so you'll never have to stand in line waiting like you would at
those *other* gyms. Ork and troll staff members can assist you in
finding the right workout for you!

["Yeah. Okay. So we need to find out where our target is. We think he
went in there." "Err...who goes in?" "Send the dwarf...he's a street
sam.
It's just a gym, right? He'll fit in!"]
