[Klavier is working on something, with paper and pen in the church. He looks thoughtful, and is unaware that he's on the second level.]

This would be easier with a computer...

....huh. It's not exclusive, but I was right. Anybody with a mark didn't get taken.

........Gailardia?

[einspruch]

Mark? [Looks suddenly more alert.]

[firebranded]

You didn't know? Some of us got here with a cross somewhere on us.

[einspruch]

I only got here a few days ago.

Is there a reason for these-

[Klavier's stomach growls loudly. Serious face goes away for a second.]

...Sorry about that. [Serious face is a go again! /o/ ] Is there any reason for these marks?

[firebranded]

So you're really new. And yeah, I'm starting to think there's more of a reason than we thought before.

.....you know, eating will help with that. [gestures at his stomach]

[einspruch]

I am.

Ah ha ha. I know. But I tried to buy something at a store and they wouldn't take my money, or even notice me. [Scowls like in his icon.]

[firebranded]

Welcome to this craphole, then.

[deadpan] Just steal it.

[einspruch]

[Staring at you.] I'm a prosecutor, I can't exactly go around stealing things.

[firebranded]

Okay. Then you can starve.

[einspruch]

...[Rubs his forehead.] It's really the only way to get food here, isn't it?

[firebranded]

Yep.

[einspruch]

Mmm... there's a law about dire circumstances, I think. [Totally BSing to make himself feel better.]

[firebranded]

...yeah. Sure.
