"Say, Ben?" You clear your throat. "About this 'Max' person you keep talking about. Mind introducing me to her? We can bring her along to a hangout down here." There's some weird feeling you have that she's more important than just some random girl that he knows. Intuition, you call it?
Benjamin looks visibly nervous when you bring up the offer. "Ah, jeez, I dunno. Look, no offense to you but it's a bit of a compromising thing to bring you along." Huh? You raise an eyebrow at that, what exactly does he mean by that. He leans back with a sigh. "...tell her I somehow spent a whole day with another girl because of some weird time dilation?"
"Look, you're just some dude I hired because you're good on a job. Just tell her we're working partners, alright?"
He lets out another hiss. "Alright, alright. I'll try, I'll try." He puts down the A-Energy box to get his phone out of his pocket. He dials the number before putting the phone to his ear. "Hey, Max, sorry for not responding for a bit."
[UNSTABLE SEEKER OF THE CITY] For a split moment, you swear you see a vision of a young woman pacing back and forth in a familiar looking apartment. Ben's, you think. She was obviously worried about something. She visibly relaxes when she hears a ringtone coming from her pocket.
A muffled voice responds back. You can't quite make it out but you can tell she's talking REALLY fast, given how Benjamin is stumbling over his words. "I-I know, I know, it wasn't like that crash test dummy or whatever. It was an easy job."
"No, no, look. I got some work thanks to a pal and she, uh- yes, it's a she. She wants to meet you?" Benjamin lets out a forced laugh. He listens to the muffled response. It seems to make him relax. "Okay, good. I'll pick the location-" He glances at you, clearly implying he plans on following where you're going. "And we'll tell you when we get there."
"Good?" Another muffled response. "Good." He hangs up.
...You decide to take your meds before you start seeing any more weird visions about people you haven't met. You pop three pills in your mouth and gulp them down dry. Yeesh. You feel better almost instantly.
>+2 RESTRAINT, +1 FLESH
"Woo. Okay, note to self, call her more often. Note to self, stop yourself from rambling-" He covers his own mouth. He mumbles some choice words to himself before uncovering it. "Let's go. She agreed."
You grab the A-Energy box. It's shockingly lighter than you expected for its size but it still takes up most of the room in your arms. "We'll wander around a bit. See if anything interests us. Then we'll find a place to meet her at."
"Sounds good enough. Let's try to make the walk quick, she can be...needy." Benjamin lets out a weird little guttural noise. You shrug and let your legs do the talking by moving forward. You get the best results when you don't worry about where you're going.
