--Ah. I've only been here a few days, and already I need to defend my reputation. Do not group me together with Eraldo Coil; I find that offensive.
However, I am surprised that Kira took the time to note my arrival at all. I might be fairly well-known to certain people, but I was not one of the private investigators hired to catch him. I suppose I should be flattered.

At least, the city is as interesting as I had hoped. I have not had time to explore much, as I am still getting used to this new situation, but simply reading about it has told me more than expected. There seems to be a lot going on at the moment. I am still considering where to get involved.
Ah, and I did find a few of those confectionery stores. I suppose I should thank everyone for their help.

[there's a room number for one of the starter apartments, as well as a time for later today. There's no message aside from that.]
