"My expert opinion? We've all died and gone to hell."

Connor closes the newspaper he's been scanning for the past few minutes, picks up another, and scans it for a second before dropping it onto the growing pile of periodicals scattered around him. All of them are the fucking same: the Prima Luce are doing this, the Luce are doing that, the Luce discover something else, the Luce are amazing and wonderful, terrorists are bad. Reminds him of that book he had to read in high school once, something about brainwashing and media and war and -- hell, he doesn't remember, only that it was a lot like this.

And, that it was fucking creepy. He looks up as Smecker walks in, tossing the magazine in his hand (New Luce Times? give me a fuckin' break) onto the floor. "Just never thought hell was gonna be fuckin' nazi New York. Got anything that hasn't been run through the government washing machine?"

"Apart from that magazine on cats, I assume?" Smecker makes his way through the mess and scans the shelves. "I think you might be out of luck on that front, Mr MacManus... The general consensus seems to be that anything not singing the praises of the Luce doesn't make it to press. If you listen to rumours of course you might hear another side to this story."

That makes him smirk a little. "Sure the cat magazine ain't all, 'only the Luce have cute cats.' 'All the nice kittens belong with the government.' 'The only good cat is a nazi cat?'"

But then he sighs and begins gathering up all the magazines and papers scattered around, taking glances over his shoulder every so often to check for anyone arriving -- specifically, either Murphy or a girl with red nails. "Unbiased opinion would be nice, but how the hell do we even find one without getting half the fuckin' city on our asses?"

"Ever been to a bar, genius? People talk in bars, whether you want them to or not. There's one near here called Osiscia, I suggest we go listen to the conversation some time." He scans the floor and raises an eyebrow, "... However you don't get to go and play with your friends until you tidy this up."

"Like any of our friends are even here," Murphy says wryly as he saunters up to the two of them, looking around curiously. "Nice place, Smecker. Must be a step up from what you're used to." With a slight grin, he drops the burned-down end of a cigarrette onto the ground and steps on it.

"Sorry I'm late."
