The taxi's worn tires whisper over rain-soaked pavement as you pass under the sickly glow of Schottler's streetlights. A group of men huddle on a nearby stoop, their laughter sharp against the distant wail of a police siren. The cabbie grunts, stops the meter, and nods toward the curb. You step out into the damp night, a single key pressing cold and sharp into your palm. The building's entrance door groans open on rusted hinges, revealing a narrow stairwell and the flickering light of a single bare bulb. Beyond the thin walls, the city thrums—a low, constant pulse of engines, shouts, and bass-heavy music. Liberty City is here, you. What do you do first?
