I. Arrival

[shatteredwoman]

I don’t know how I ended up here or why everyone seems okay with the idea of staying in this city, but I really don’t care. I’m sick and tired of being used without my consent. What I do know is that I want to get back home as soon as possible, so I’m open to anything; information, a fight or a way home. Either way is fine by me.

Less 'okay' and more no way to get out.

[shatteredwoman]

There’s always a way out.

[not_a_npc]

Well whatever it is it isn't something to be found that easily. Don't know who's been here the longest but personally its only been a few weeks.

[shatteredwoman]

There is always a way out. I once knew a man who was living proof of that. But it doesn't matter, I'll just keep trying.

Who are you?

[not_a_npc]

Nothing is impossible, got that whole gig. I think anyone with sense is.

Call me Mattie, you?

[shatteredwoman]

Alright. Just wanted to make sure you'd heard right.

I'm Niki. Nice to meet you, even though it's under these circumstances.

[not_a_npc]

Pleasure's mutual. See you said fight up there, guessing you chose Igura. I'm a drug trafficker.

[shatteredwoman]

You're right, I am, although I considered choosing your job too. Do you use?

[not_a_npc]

No, don't see it as a smart option but hey, if people want too its their choice.

[shatteredwoman]

Yes, I agree with you. Your body, your rules. If you can’t control yourself, others shouldn’t have to do it for you.

[Private to Mattie]

Do you sell sedatives?

[not_a_npc]

Exactly, much prefer a less affecting form of addiction myself.

[Private to Niki]

Not sedatives as a rule I think. Got weed and things like that if you're looking to mellow out.

[shatteredwoman]

You smoke, I suppose. I used to, but I quit.

[Private to Mattie]

No, I need something stronger. Strong enough to knock someone out. Chloroform, perhaps?

[not_a_npc]

Good guess.

[Private to Niki]

We don't carry that kind of stuff, I don't know where you'd get it from. I'd suggest scouting out dealers in the city. Planning on knocking out the other competitors?

[shatteredwoman]

Not afraid of lung cancer?

[Private to Mattie]

Maybe, but it's mostly for own use. Nevermind; I'll ask someone else. Drop me a line if you happen to come across something interesting, would you?

[not_a_npc]

All gotta die somehow.

[Private to Nikki]

Strong thing to have for your own use.
Sure I will.

[shatteredwoman]

The later, the better.

[Private to Mattie]

Thanks.
