For those of you I haven't introduced myself to yet, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange.

The more recently arrived may not know but thanks to the generosity of Morningstar we own two buildings in New Amsterdam: one is the garage above the current safehouse and the other is a bar under the sports stadium in the city.

The latter we intend to open soon as Red Wings, a working sports bar, with a view to ensuring financial independence and security for us as a group going forward. It's been in the works for a while, will operate under the management of myself and [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin], and we're looking for a staff.

We'll need bar staff and security for busier periods. We're aiming to create as much opportunity as possible, so if you're interested don't hold back on letting us know. There's no application, no bar work experience necessary, we'll just need to speak with you to figure out suitability and availability. If you're interested in a security position I need to stress that power use is absolutely out of bounds, so experience will be a little more important here.

If any of the more financially established of you can volunteer time or resources while we get this off the ground, that will also be appreciated. Any of you with significant Cooltalk followings, I'd like to talk about collaborating to help us hit the ground running.

Any questions, interest checks, etc, you can get in touch with me here or with Clarke or myself personally via direct message.

Well, if it helps, we can go for similar shades within that range if the more distinct-seeming red doesn't suit you. You sound like you know more than we do.

[Assuming this is true of Stephen because look at Stephen.]

no!! own your brand. it's good to be distinct. i can make anything work ✨

Despite the narrowness of the name, I'd like to honor the general concept of the city. There was a fair the other month where they looked at the past and showed a timeline to now, and obviously that won't be a possibility, but there could be a vague remnant or reflection of Detroit's history.

but i'm from los angeles.

[ OOh, if she had better control over this thought to text thing she wouldn't have hit send, there. ]

maybe if you did something with cars?

[ detroit is cars, right? ]

I'm definitely thinking cars. Cars and music.

I don't know a lot about Los Angeles, actually. It was a city, right?

[To Clarke, it's always a past tense deal.]

you know, l.a.

[ She probably doesn't know, but this doesn't really occur to Lottie. ]

west coast, sunshine, hot people.

Hot people. Kind of like the Displaced.

What happens if you're not hot but you're born in LA?

idk? people ignore you, probably.

[What did she expect.]

Could be worse.

maybe.

but you're right, the displaced are generally p hot.

[ She could mention some exceptions, but she won't. ♥ ]

It could be the defining link between us.

[Clarke finds that Doubtful.]

no. if that was it they wouldn't cut off our hair.

Oh, that's to put in the implant.

yes, i know, the annoying guy who woke me up explained it to me.

but if they wanted us to be hot they would find some other way.

You can't make it work?

wow, are you negging me??

Gentle teasing?

[ Lottie's confidence is a façade who could have guessed. ]

Oh, well, you can never tell online I guess!!

Don't worry. I can see how it might be taken a worse way.

and i guess this isn't really online, is it?

[ still getting used to the weird braintexting network ]

It is online. Technically.

but it isn't like, the internet.

[ What? ]

No, it's the internet.

Is it different in your world?

[Because ... that's the standard conclusion, isn't it?]

no!!

i mean, yes!!

i mean this network is a secret, right??

Yeah.

So everything in your world was out in the open? That sounds like it'd be hard to handle.
