after the fire, i talked to one of the firefighters on site. he said the fire started at the nurse's apartment and that the nurse was found dead inside. no cause of death known at the time, but they were already considering the fire suspicious. he said there'd be a full investigation soon.

i went to have another talk with him, together with marcos diaz. [ between her powers of emotional manipulation and marcos' truth inducement, they make a good team. ]

he's not involved in the investigation, but he's heard a thing or two. apparently someone was stockpiling carcasses of the smaller creatures that attacked in one of the other apartments. apparently people have been doing that, looking to resale the bodies.

not sure how useful that is, but i figure we're better off sharing whatever information we get, no matter how random. maybe we'll spot a connection or a pattern at some point.

(MARKUS TOO?!

...

okay, no, he's not as surprised at this one.)

As the bridge between people's choices, I'd have to agree with you.

[saviorexe]

[Of course he shouldn’t be surprised. If the subject even draws close to improving Connor’s wardrobe, Markus will figuratively be dropkicking in.]

There are other shades of blue that I can suggest, too.

But nothing bold for the holiday season.

[HE SEES THAT MESSAGE FROM KATELIN]

not here

[covertness]

[ excuse you markus, connor would look great in a dark green tie with tiny santas on it!!! ]

[saviorexe]

[









No.]

[covertness]

[ yes he would

and bobbi would be amused ]

(—ANNND PROHIBITED FROM WEARING CHRISTMAS TIES)

Oh. Okay.

So only blues, then?

[saviorexe]

[NO TERRIBLE CHRISTMAS TIES. RA9 SAYS LOVE YOURSELF.]

No, not only blues. Though my other suggestions would mostly depend on the rest of your outfit.

That being said, black is a safe color. Darker hues might suit you well in general; try maroon sometime. Maybe a cardinal red.

(putting "maroon" and "cardinal red" on his comprehensive list of things to try.)

What seems necessary at this point is a trip to the shopping district.

The trouble that's been finding us lately is leaving my clothing worse for wear.

[saviorexe]

I’ll go with you.

[Did that come too immediately? It came too immediately. His alarm for the state of Connor's closet is showing. Markus purposefully waits a half-second, then—]

It wouldn’t be so much of an issue if you had more than two outfits to choose from.

[cyberlife]

(that was fast...)

Is it that bad?

[saviorexe]

Not bad, [bad.] but you’ve already listed one reason why having a limited selection of clothing is inconvenient. And you need to account for the changing weather (it won’t be hot forever), different occasions, and the fact that what you wear is another form of self-expression.

[cyberlife]

(it's that bad.)

Then I'll leave myself in your capable hands. When would you like to go?

[saviorexe]

I’m not working tomorrow. Are you free after your shift?

[cyberlife]

(for you?)

Of course. We can discuss where when I get back from a meeting I have scheduled this evening.

[saviorexe]

I already have several places in mind.

Looking forward to it.

[Finally.... fixing Connor’s wardrobe. A faraway dream becomes reality.]

[cyberlife]

Me too.

(he's doomed to look decent. rip connor's bad sense of style.)
