Beach Noir
From Create Your Own Story
Your name is Brennan. You are a former drug smuggler and gun runner, known for flying goods between the gulf coast and the Caribbean islands in a small Cessna plane. In a bar in a port called Queen Anne, you encountered a beautiful girl named Laura who slipped you the following note: "Help - being kidnapped. Taken from the Virginia cruse ship last night. No one knows I'm here." You found it in your jacket pocket three days later. You became obsessed and tracked her to the island called Big Conch Caye. There is a shanty town here called Haverford's Landing, known to all the locals as Banana Bottoms because the fruit companies used it as a transit point for decades. It is a hive of pimps, prostitutes and pushers.
Your plane went down in the swamp to the west of Banana Bottoms. You set up camp there, building a lean-to and stringing up a hammock by the wrecked aircraft. You are determined to find Laura, whatever it takes. Yet you are also aware that this port city is filled with danger and temptation. Only by choosing your moves wisely will you succeed in your quest. As you travel through the sexual underbelly of this tropical slum, be sure to remember why you are here: saving beautiful Laura from a terrible fate at the hands of slavers.
You begin by your downed airplane. You have flip-flops, a shirt, shorts, your watch, your sunglasses and your baseball cap. You have some cash and a gun. There is no telling what awaits you in the slum; do you take the cash and gun or leave them in the plane?
