Whoever you're talking to, I'm pretty sure he's not here right now.

[makinghoscroak]

Thanks for the clue.

[construire]

You sounded confused.

[makinghoscroak]

I ain't confused now--

Hey, unless you got somethin' new to add.

[construire]

You have any questions to ask?

[makinghoscroak]

Yeah. Where's a guy gonna find a place to stay? I ain't got a single ryo on me you know.

[construire]

You're probably not going to find another ryo here. This place has its own currency. Easiest way to distinguish them is by color; they're like a rainbow, each color denoting a different value.

The first month of rent is free for the apartment buildings. There's also hostels and hotels if you'd like something more short term, but you'll have to find a way to pay.

[makinghoscroak]

You run one of those places? A hostel?

[construire]

No. I've only been here a month.

[makinghoscroak]

Oh yeah? Where are you stayin'?

[construire]

Always this curious?

An apartment.

[makinghoscroak]

I get thrown out of the fucking woods into who knows fucking where and you're asking if I'm curious?

I ain't got a friend to have my back, kid.

[construire]

A moment ago you appeared confident enough to claim you weren't confused. I assumed that meant that you've got it under control.

Head toward the City-- you'll see a circle of tall buildings circumscribed around a fountain. You can't miss it. You can take a room in any of the buildings, as long as it's unoccupied.

[makinghoscroak]

Heh.

You got a name, girl?

[construire]

Ariadne. You?

[makinghoscroak]

Shira. Remember it. I won't be goin' down easy.
