Whenever the public library is closed, >>0 gets his Internet access loitering in train stations and waiting for people to leave the Internet kiosks with more than one minute left to go.

>>3 sits on a street corner jabbering incoherent and vaguely threatening nonsense.

>>4 begs for spare change from passer-by, gets spat on.

>>5 doesn't have a computer and just pretends to visit 4-ch.

>>6 Stands on the concrete islands in the middle of busy streets holding "Homeless Veteran" signs when he really just wants a beer.

>>7 only ever has a roof over his head at the four different workplaces he works part-time at every day. He uses only the bare minimum amount of money from his pay to keep himself alive, and uses all the rest to slowly pay off his student loan, just as he has been doing for the last thirteen years. Sleeping is something reserved for the bus trips between jobs.

>>9 hasn't eaten anything but his own fingernails since finding that expired convenience store sandwich in the dumpster four days ago.

>>12 got fired two years before he was due to retire, in a country with no social security worth mentioning. When he told his wife, she took all the money out of their joint bank account and fled the country half a week later.
