Now you need to figure out what you're doing. You walk quickly, hands buried in your pockets, head down, and calculate how you're going to get where you need to go. You've got enough money to take a bus across the state line. That's safe and reliable. And warm. Or you could try hitchhiking. That's risky, but you'd save money. Or you could Change. In wolf form, you could run and hunt during the day, seek shelter at night. That could be glorious, assuming you didn't freeze at night.
No risks—at least not on the way there. I take a bus.
I know my way around the world of petty crime and not-quite-crime. I can hitchhike without incident as long as I keep my wits about me.
I pay attention as I hitchhike the whole way there, watching for signs of weird or dangerous behavior.
I wrap up my modest supplies, then head into the woods and become a wolf, trusting to my endurance and survival instincts.
