When you Ascend, a new area pops up on the Right Side of the Tracks, entitled Hagnk's Storage. Every item you own and all of your meat goes into storage. Certain quest-specific items vanish entirely, though there are workarounds for a couple of them (example: Bitchin' Meatcars disappear. If you Untinker one into Dope Wheels and a Meat Engine, though, those items remain and can be recombined post-Ascension for quick access to the Shore).
Post-Ascension, you will spend 1000 turns in Ronin status, which is just what it implies; you are a lone wolf for that span. You cannot receive items from other players, buy things from other players, buy things at the Mall, buy things at the Flea Market, or obtain items from anything but adventures and the built-in shops in the Market and elsewhere. (If you have a Mall store, you _can_ put items in it and sell them, but the meat goes into storage when the items are sold until Ronin is over.)
Hagnk's allows you to pull up to 20 items or 1000-meat increments out of storage each day. For example, I could pull out 5000 meat and 15 items if that's what I needed. This calls for some cleverness in stacking your stash before Ascending and in choosing which items to retrieve each day, because once that limit is reached, you're stuck with what you can adventure for until the next day.
My typical Day 1 pull, for instance:
* 3 Chow Meins, or two Hell Ramens and a Delicious Spicy Noodles, a full day's supply of food
* 5 Ducha De Oros or other DB drinks, a full day's supply of alcohol (note: I can't use the fifth one unless I get Liver of Steel on Day 1, so I might get only 4)
* Beanbag Chair
* Meat Maid
* Chef-in-the-Box
* Cottage
* Mr. Accessory
* Palm-Frond Toupee for my Volleyball
* Class-specific item (Kickback Cookbook/Enchanted Toothpick for caster classes, Ye Old Golde Frontes for DBs) if needed
* A few thousand meat for buying skills
And so on throughout Ronin. In later days, I'm typically pulling out the best weapons and armor I can use as my stats go up, certain outfits that let me clear certain obstacles (Miner's Outfit, eXtreme Cold-Weather Gear, the Pirate Disguise) as I need them, food and drink, and a bit more meat when necessary. I don't pull out all that much meat during Ronin unless a skill is absolutely necessary.
Once the thousand turns are up, you can pull everything out of Hagnk's at once, and then you're back to normal until you Ascend again.
