Haven't seen much of you lately. Consider this me checking in.
-Inej

[industries]

[ Oh! It's... that one girl. Who apparently knew him, even though he doesn't know her. (Lot of that going around, lately.) ]

Consider this me telling you everything's A-OK.

Hey – weird question. You know anyone who needs a mechanic around here?

Trying to get something off the ground. I'm told "networking" is a thing people do when they're not already famous. Sounds fake, but worth a shot.

[shadowthief]

Good, glad to hear it.

No...? But I don't really know what a mechanic...does?

What are you trying to get off the ground, exactly? I might know a guy who can help with that networking thing...

[Sorry, Tony. Remember, she's from like- pre-automobile times.]

[industries]

You don't know what a mechanic–

I mean. Okay, neither do most people who show up at an auto shop, so – fair.

What guy, and is he over the legal drinking age?

[shadowthief]

No, sorry.

Consider: Other-you had to explain the concept of electricity to me before. For reference.

Jesper. He knows at least a third of the city, if you need people to know something, he can get the word out quite easily. What does drinking have to do with it?

[industries]

[ Hm. Fair. ]

Jesper – local influencer, got it. [ A "third of the city" sounds outrageous, but he'll chalk that up to teen hype. Which – is he really going ask some random kid for help with viral marketing?

...Actually, you know what– ]

Nothing. Anyway, I'm starting up a venture with some buddies – gadgets and gizmos, maybe some handyman stuff. Could use a word-of-mouth advertising campaign.

[shadowthief]

You could probably also get Mag to let you put up some sort of flier in the Inn, if you asked really nicely.

[industries]

Yeah, kid, I'm not selling school science fair tickets. Looking for bigger and better venues than a few flyers, ideally.

Think I found your friend. He insulted me with tremendous speed, sound about right?

[shadowthief]

There are only so many ways of mass communication here. Perhaps an ad in the local paper?

[Yeah, that was just her being purely cheeky now.]

Could be. Depends on the insult.

[industries]

Oh, paper.

[ He had absolutely, definitely already thought of that. ]

Implied I didn't know my own business, assumes he knows everyone's else's. It's fine, sounds like he's gonna help, so we'll give him a pass (for now).

[shadowthief]

[She snickers a little at that. Right. That old relic, eh, Tony?]

Sounds about right. You'll have to let me know how it goes.

[She knows Jesper can be a lot to handle at first, but given the right chance, he's actually pretty great, if she says so herself.]
