- “Is that smth you’d want? To feel young again?”
- S: not particularly? Thanks tho!
- “Yknow i respect the Aetherion Corporation, i dont work for free. 5 credits for a bit of my time?”
- Ko: we’re not buying anything

- Ko: i already called dibs on this romance route, i need u to back off, no doubles
- S: what
- Ko: dw about it kitten
- S: ok yay
- “Listen. We arent competing, we can work together”
- S: competing???
- Ko: why are we here
- S: she works for this establishment! It might be uncomfortable if we’re all crowding around!
- “Try not to swarm the girls, there are plenty of us spread out. Im the only one who could take someone of sacraments stature”
- Shes 25’ tall
- S: given myself it may not be the most helpful if im looming vaguely over the shoulder
- “U dont need to worry abt looming over my shoulder”
- S: thats true!
- S: can i pay a slightly reduced rate
- “What do you got?”
- Konbini looks around, sees they have braindances
- Sacrament notices that she seems antsy, oblivious to her feelings
- “Youre not offput by the tallfolk would u be konbini?”
- Ko: no
- S: thats good! Thats a concern when meeting new ppl. Oh im sorry i didnt get ur name
- “They call me Mayla, the Beshemoth.”
- S: lovely name mayla
- “Cmon over here, i can give u a few mins of my time for free”
- Holds out her hands to pick up sacrament, she accepts
- Picks up sacrament, takes her to a backroom
- S: i wouldnt want to be unfair, id pay u what i can, i have 2 credits
- “For you, that’s plenty. Konbini, how about you? It is five per person”
- Ko: ill give u 6 if u stop flirting with her
- “That seems fine???” 6 to not do her job
- S: oh was she flirting, i can never tell with that stuff
- Ko: yeah i know
- Group 1
- Kaspar approaches slowly
- Ka: hi. Um. i’m a student of Shiori’s? We came for another reason, but…
- “How she’s doing after everything?”
- Ka: not dead? At least not to my knowledge. She’s been in hiding. For a little bit
- “And she hasnt come out given the state of things?”
- Ka: nnno she’s more in hiding. I was spending a lot of time with her up until the scarring. But idk where she is anymore
- “Still, a friend of hers is a friend of mine. But you seem heavily armed, friend.”
- Ka: ummm. Yeah. we’re not here on business from shirori, but… I thought it would be best to introduce myself first. My name is kaspar, ive heard good things about you?
- “Well. if you don’t mind disarming, u can do whatever u want here, so long as we provide.”
- “We’d never hurt a customer. So what will you have?”
- Ka: i think sacrament has already made a decision?
- Ka: we were given an assignment to repossess sexico-6 and we dont want that to happen, find another way to make this work out for the both of us.
- “Who gave you this?”
- Ka: the Blind Halloways.
- “What are they offering?”
- Ka: we need access to the university, and their offer is either a month of work, far too long, we need in now, or take you down, which isnt going to happen.
- “Why not just kill them and take access to the tunnels yourself?
- H: cause we didn’t actually meet the guy in charge. We met a guy with his face and a bunch of APVs.
- “I don’t know where to find him but I know the other 3 gangs in this town would
- “So why don’t you just go kill them?
- H: That’s an option.
- “You’re going to have to kill eventually.
- Kaspar getting her phone number
- Group 2
- Velvet-Above-All “do you believe in hedonistic philosophy?”
- I: uhhhhhhh. Uh. idk do you?
- V: bartender, probably
- P: i dont think more happiness is great for a lifestyle
- “Oh! Why?”
- P: its a balance, if you get too happy ur brain will adapt and then that will be ur baseline
- “Some people need a little pain to feel pleasure”
- P: ppl in my office arent having a pleasant experience
- V: how many times have u had to pull smth out of someone’s butt? A lot
- “We have also had to pull things out of people’s butt.”
- P: ive removed guns from there, its not pleasant
- (no extensive medical history)
- P: i think vintovka might have thoughts on hedonistic philosophy
- V: people do ti??
- “Do u do it?”
- V: not really? I just live. Get thru the day. Theres another day. Just keep going.
- “U should try hedonism”
- P: u should not
- V: lot of angel and devil on my shoulder here!
- I: u day drink???
- V: thats different
- “Not really”
- We head out
- Go find a payphone to stand next to to contact the signal saints
- Konbini googling them on stringfinder’s phone
- Eventually, the cameras all slowly turn to face konbini and sacrament
- Not very mysterious, and walking as if he doesnt seem to think of us fully as a threat
- One joins, mostly disrobed outside of pants, soaking in moisture. Odd coral man approaches
- Ko: are u one of the signal saints
- “I might be. I do need to know how come u have one of our former members phones”
- Ko: i killed him
- “Why??”
- Ko: under the illusion he was a threat, a traitor? He was getting in the way of things we were doing
- “So you killed him for me?”
- Ko: yeah just for you kitten
- Walks over and grabs her shoulders. Does a kissing motion on the cheek
- Ko: whoa hey.
- “Well thank you. It is always good to have reverence, isnt it?”
- Ko: i was hoping you could help me, with this offering. We’ve been trying to get into quanverium university
- To sacrament “are you with her?”
- S: yeah
- “Then i hereby induct u into my cult”
- S: cult????
- “Soon to be religion.”
- S: id love to hear the details
- Ko: im sure you mean GANG, right
- “Gang is improper, we follow the laws of god, not the laws of man.”
- S: how many members are in this cult of urs? Out of curiosity
- “Members or associates?”
- S: id love to know both really
- “Well only one of you can be a member, decide amongst you 2.”
- Ko: thatd be me
- “Whats your name?”
- Ko: Id like to consider myself the new stringmaster
- “YOU ARE NOT THE STRINGMASTER.”
- Ko: sorry i read the room wrong! Stringfondler it is
- “Oh thats fine. What does it means to fondle strings to you?”
- Ko: i like to get up and close to the code. Fondle it
- “I would like to fondle the strings. I agree. But as the newest member there are dues to be paid”
- Ko: yeah?
- “Operating costs. 100 credits”
- Ko: i have that! I foresaw it due to fondling the strings!
- “It is good to meet someone who’s so quick to enlightenment. Maybe at some point we could fondle the strings together.”
- Ko: lets build up to that, nothing too fast
- “And your request?”
- Ko: where the blind holloways are
- “An old car warehouse.” he gives the pin
- “I believe that there is only about 7 of them.”
- Ko: just in the warehouse?
- “They might do small patrols, but i imagine in the warehouse at any given time.”
- Ko: i assume u venerable signal saints might have access to building blueprints, layout?
- “It consists of 3 rooms. Also a secret entrance.” (outside of garage, which is main way to enter, there is another way in an alley, mechanical secret door. Doesnt know how it works but knows it exists.)
- Have no computer abilities, pathetic show of display
- We go to another alley
- Ithax can lead us to the mechanical door
- Kick it open
- Otherside of 2nd door, people are shifting and moving bc they heard it open
- Combat
- Kanren has a pager like device thats going off
- IT WAS A BOMB
- Haven looks at the last guy and goes “Sit the fuck down if you wanna live”
- Guy sits, thus ending the combat
- One guy confused “i think it was on the boss’s computer?”
- “Im free to go?”
- We threaten him, he seems to get the memo to Not Say Shit
- Konbini checks out the computer
- Ko: it appears might have been a hellknight undercover?
- Hidden deep in the files
- Bomb is often used by Concordian Hellknights to ensure they take down whoever they were fighting
- S: he was Aedryn
- Ko: not a friend?
- S: not a coworker
- Could be a blackstain on her record for a recruit to have killed a Hellknights
- We find the records of the illicit substances, who owes what money, go thru something called Casey’s Garage
- Garages are often used bc. If cars pull in at weird hours it doesnt pull suspicion
- Few things on gangs, most blind halloway
- Did have suspicions of copaxi man, considered him a schemer, mightve thought he knew abt his hellknight stuff
