He entered the pub, noting that the crate looked really tacky, before he made his way to Wichita's table. He dressed his best, as he would for any of GeneCo's operas or events.
"Long time no see," he said with a smile as he sat down. He glanced at the bottle. "Don't tell me that's all we'll be drinking," he commented. Wine? Ew.

Taking another drink from the bottle, she plopped down in her seat at the table, regarding him critically, eyes narrowed. "Fancy get-up. What are you, a bank teller or something?"

"I'm the CEO of GeneCo," he said with pride. "Or was, before coming here."

Luigi popped the top and took a long drink. Loved the taste, loved the burn. Still, he wiped at his lips with his napkin like the pampered rich boy he was. "GeneCo is the savior of the fucking world where I'm from. Organ failures happen all the damn time. GeneCo offers healthy organs to those who can afford it. Those who can't, well... fuck 'em." He waved dismissively. "And trust me, those with the cash use surgery like its a fucking fashion statement. Those types of people have problems, but they're good for business."

"Where do these organs come from? That's... really bizarre. What year are you from? I mean, I guess it's viable," she paused thoughtfully, taking a drink, "because plastic surgery's on the rise where I'm from. It's getting there, to the point of addiction for certain celebrities and rich people."

"Imported from healthier people," he replied simply, trying to sound like the CEO who Knew It All. "2057 was the year I died in. Yup surgery and operas. Nothing better on Sanitarium Island than those two things combined." He swirled the liquid around in the bottle before setting it back on the table. "I'm guessing you're from an earlier time than me?"
