" Ah, yes, I see. I am terribly sorry for interrupting your play. Allow me to make up for your lost time."

John, somehow throws about 20$ into the buskers basket/case/whatever, then goes to the man in the suit at the hotdog stand.

The busker doesn't let go of you. It seems significantly stronger than you are.

"Moo," it says thoughtfully at you as you squirm in its grasp.

"Good sir, I'm going to have to ask you to let me go now. I'll donate 50 dollars to your cause. But I will have you know that this is considered assault and if you do not stop this at once I will have no other choice than to use force."

Says John, somewhat scared, hoping that this man-cow can be reasoned with

"Moo," it says, shaking its head vigorously. You wonder what it wants.

"Okay. Moo once for yes, Moo twice for no. Do you want my help? Did somebody do this you? Is it someone in this parking lot?"

John asks, leaving enough time between questions for the cow-man to think and answer.

"Allright, yes, now we are getting somewhere. Rest assured, I will try to help you. Now, do you think you could put me down and point out the person who did this to you?"

The busker moos once and points at itself. It doesn't let you go, though.

"So. You did this to yourself? Is it the cow thing you want me help with? Or is it something else?"

"Moo. Moo, moo. Moo!" it says, the last moo sounding a bit more enthusiastic than the other ones.

"Okay then. Not the cow thing. Can you try and give me a hint with what you want help with? Point at it, or pantomime it? Actually...I have a pen and notebook in my jacket, can you write?"

If possible, hand cowman my pen and notebook

((can't believe it took me this long to think of trying that))

The busker takes it and spends a few moments drafting up a little message, which it then shows to you. The front page seems to be covered in strange symbols, but you, for some reason, seem to make something out within them - the somewhat familiar silhouettes of Trey and Luz. You can only look at the script for a few moments before you are compelled to turn away, though.

"Okay, so I take it that you are, in fact, the person that Mister Lee told me to meet up with? And, if so, how do you wish to proceed from here."

Eta put her hand over her mouth to muffle a squee of joy. I can't believe my luck! Gold! Real gold out of thin air!

EDIT: Try to keep myself from doing a little goldminer's dance.
Quickly gather as much gold as I can. I'm certain I could find a discarded bag or box nearby I could put it in.
If all is well, take the gold back to the hotel.
While returning, keep an eye out for any jewelry shops or pawn shops or banks around. (Do I happen to know whether or not banks still accept gold in exchange for money?)
Try not to look too suspicious.


Spoiler: Eta (click to show/hide)

"Moo," the busker says, pointing at you again.

"Surely, you can speak common english, yes? We won't get anywhere without proper communication. Please either speak english, dutch, french, japanese or write down what you want to say, my brain is starting to hurt."

John says, not knowing what the busker wants. Those kids sure have gotten him into a lot of trouble, this all better be worth it. He sighs.
