Given this is a Goon-driven thread, I can't help but assume Brusier is going to probably wind up mentally unwell and/or a serial killer. So clearly we need to build an underground survivalist bunker in our park, rather than a proper house.

Quikc reminder to people that what I meant wasn't going into Science forever, but only becoming a guinea pig briefly so he could build a place to live in so he wouldn't be the bussiness hobo

I just think Business and Politics are the most appropriate choices because we're basically going to build a cross between Patrick Bateman and Frank Underwood with the way SA voting goes.

 First things first, Bruiser needs a job. And as a experienced Hobo, he knows that the science labs are always looking for someone willing to put their body on the line in the name of science.  Thank god the Mayor of Bridgetown had decreed that all public transport was to be free.  The Laandgrab Science Facility. Most of the labs were underground to not spoil the ascetic, but the building was a hub of science and technology.  The interview was a strange one. Once they had double checked his name was real, (happens all the time.) He was then given a less than though grilling by a post doc, an undergrad and a Line manager. He was a little surprised when he was told the key skills were not to be any form of scientific knowledge or mathematical skills, but a keen interest in Gardening and fishing. What kind of lab was this? At $48 an hour just to be tested, Bruiser decided he didn't care and took the job.  To celebrate he took a swim in the ornamental pond. He kept telling himself that the green glow was from the poor choice of tiles. But this was an opportunity for cheap fun. Three hours of swimming later. He decided it was time to go an meet some people. He decides to head to a local bar. I ordered him out of the pool, and he got right back in!  The thing about Bars is that they throw away the best stuff! A quick dumpster dive is hard to resist.  Smelling of Garbage, he enter Weylon's Haunt.  All eyes are immediately on Brusier.  He immediately strikes up a conversation with a girl with questionable fashion sense called Matilda Smart. She seems to mistake Bruisers odour for that produced by exercising, and strikes up a conversation. Brusier does not correct her.  She's a friendly person, and conversation soon turns to his new career as a lab rat. He also explains he is new in town.  This is followed by a game of Fooseball with Harry Marks.  He treats himself to a $4 bowl of Natchos. He needs to push harder to save money, but for this first day, he can live a little.  He then takes a trip to the library – while he is looking for a book on gardening, he picks up “A Game of Thorns” and gets sucked in.  It's 5:00am before he returns home to sleep on his bench. Thankfully, he's not needed at work until 1:00pm. He wakes at 8:00am all refreshed and ready to go.  One good thing about his location is that the corner store is only a short walk away.  Ahh, the siren song of the dumpster.  Its from there to work. Smelly, hungry and tired.  While he got on well with his boss, his mood did not put him in the right frame of mind. He got paid, but did nothing for his career. It was time to take the mooching to the next level.  Walking the streets, he meets Alexi Fresco, a minor celebrity. Both wearing street cloths, they hit it off.  A short chat later and he is invited to Alexi's swanky penthouse flat.  Where he immediately heads for bed and a good nights sleep in a comfy bed. Alexi and Harry Marks don't quite know what to make of this, but neither are going to kick this sticking drifter out.  It takes until 3:30am before Alexi snaps, waking Brusier by simply turning the light on. He's mostly rested however.  4:00am, and he's back in the lobby.  A trip to the local spar nets him a shower. Now he just needs to find some food.  His grill apparently needs a fridge to work, so its a trip to the other park for some hotdogs. The breakfast of champions.  Its then back to work, a much happier man!  At the end of the day he now has $500 to his name. What do we do now Try and improve our lot as a test subject or move to a different career? We have some money! We can't quite afford a bed AND a shower, but which should we target – or is there something else we need?

Even if you're a hobo, people are more likely to let you mooch you if you're not completely a ragged, stinking mess. Get a shower, maybe some nice clothes. Keep working as a test subject for now until we get a nice suit. Then we can change career paths to business or politics.

Will $500 buy enough water tiles and a ladder for pool?

I'll be contrarian and say Science and bed. If he can keep going to the gym for free showers, that's not an immediate problem. Besides, there still exists cheap apartments in Tokyo without showering/bathing facilities--residents are expected to go use the public bath in the neighborhood.

He obviously needs a Fridge for his grill. He's got a place to mooch a bed and a place to mooch a shower, but the food situation is dire.

Bed. Having the best bed is the most important thing. Good mood modifier and a huge time saver.

Going to go with bed. It's a lot easier to find public showers and napping on park benches doesn't give you that great a moodlet or a full sleep bar. Keep going with science to get more money, but if he's ever about to promote it's time to move on.

I feel like none of these are good options and the most realistic thing would probably be to blow our money on something completely loving stupid, like lawn flamingos

You want to waste our money on a Gnome themed garden section later on, that's fine by me - for now, I think we should concentrate on the basics for survival! I'll also hit the bars to see about making some more friends. We need to look for a wife at some point as well, as she'll bring more money in - but for now we need to find out who is available!

You have to rise to a certain station in life in order to have access to the full array of bad decisions. Shower.
