[UNSTABLE] LOOK. I. UH. YEAH, I WANT TO EXPLAIN MYSELF. REAL QUICK. ONCE WE'RE ON THE TRAIN.
[UNSTABLE] FEEL FREE TO DO, UH, DO OTHER THINGS FIRST. YEAH. THIS IS NEW FOR ME. SORRY.
You let out a shaky sigh. Great. Now the literal manifestation of your unstable impulses is wanting a one on one chat- Wait. You hugged this bitch. Why are you acting like you're beneath her? You slap yourself. Get your head in the game.
"Sure. In a bit." You mutter outloud.
Your allies are giving you a weird look but only Naomi's stare has any real concern to it; the other two are rather nonplussed. Like they're used to it at this point.
"So. Alexis." You snap your fingers. "The hell are you still doing here? Normally you fuck off by-" You stop yourself. "No, no, that sounds bad. I'm just shocked, you know?"
Alexis squints at you before giving you a half-hearted shrug. "You've proven yourself to be a valuable asset and someone who, despite her eccentrics, has been shockingly competent. Once was a fluke. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern." <<span class="mu-b">"Certainly better than that shitty ETF pair I had to deal with. Benny and Fronk or something?"</span>>
"You should've seen her in the course! Waow! She was- Okay no need to suck her off, let's get going." The sheer whiplash in tone Kiara gave you nearly made you burst out laughing.
The four of you step onto the train that got you here. You group sits down onto the cheap, shoddy seats inside the train cabin. Learning from your mistake last time, you cling onto a nearby handrail...but the train seems to be moving slower this time. You look confused for a moment until you hear Naomi chuckling.
"Told them not to do it this time. A long time to talk and decompress is all we need right now. Isn't that right?" Naomi offers you a shaky smile. It's clear she's still uncomfortable being TOO cordial around you due to what happened with the Agent. You offer her a smile in return.
"Thank you." You nod. No need to alienate her. "So. Alexis. Got any places you could recommend us visiting? I normally go to some shitty rundown bar and get wasted but c'mon, you gotta have a better place in mind."
Alexis isn't quite sure how to react to your question at first. She looks equal parts insulted, confused, and ecstatic? "I'm not sure. To be quite honest, this is new to me. Most of my 'free time' is spent meeting new associates to work with and, don't take this the wrong way, most are VERY high ranking corporate people. Not..."
[UNSTABLE] "Worthless schizophrenics?"
"Yes." Alexis bluntly states. "Well, you're not worthless but the second one tracks. At least your horns won't be a problem in most of those places. We can pass it off as a very unique body mod."
[UNSTABLE] Your eye twitches. You felt like popping her head open like a grape but you barely have the RESTRAINT necessary to hold back.
"But there is this one place. A lot of the corporate elite go there. Just do what I do and we'll eat like queens tonight."
