Cold Comfort

Cold Comfort

While be-bopping along the Esplanade, you come across a hobo swaddled in a huge scarf and busily stirring an enormous pot. It's not suspended over a fire, though -- it's suspended over a big pile of ice cubes.

"Hey, err... whatcha makin'?" you ask.

"Soup. Good soup. Nice and cold. Want some? 5 nickels."

(You currently have N hobo nickels.)

---

Buy some soup (5 nickels)

You hand over the nickels and take a bowl of the cold, cold soup.

You acquire an item: bowl of fishysoisse

---

I’ll have the salad. I mean, I’ll leave.

The prospect of consuming frigid soup leaves you... underwhelmed. So you leave.

Occurs at Exposure Esplanade, semi-rarely.
