It's time to actually meet up with the owners of the complexes: see what you can get out of them. The six of you pile into the small NOW HIRING building to see what's going on here.
https://youtu.be/FA1XMNNC4xk - NOW HIRING
Compared to everywhere else you've been to in D-ZETA-9, there's no oppressive dark atmosphere or anything here. In fact it's far, FAR too bright inside of the waiting room your group is now in.
The fluorescent ceiling bulbs are buzzing away in an attempt to keep every inch of the room lit up.
There's a few scattered metal folding chairs clearly stolen from some abandoned warehouse given how rusty and poorly maintained they are. The walls are painted a baby blue hue that's trying way too hard to seem inviting.
The blue and purple fuzzy carpet your group is standing on is incredibly sticky. You hope it's only soda or something. The only other thing in this room is a locked door leading further inside and the receptionist. Who so happens to be behind a thick layer of bullet resistant glass.
The young woman sitting behind the bullet resistant glass waves eagerly at your group. "Oh! Hey! We were looking for some new employees after the last few left! Something about joining a new organization that pays better? They were real quiety on what the organization was, though."
"I do apologize for my bluntness, m'lady, but we have business with the owner(s) of the apartment complexes here!"
The receptionist cocks an eyebrow at Casey before looking at the rest of the people in the group. "They're busy with a meeting with some corporate family or something.. Unless you have something urgent you'll have to wait."
What do you say to her? You won't need to make any checks for now, you think. Choose three.
>Get to the point. You're here on behalf of a Foxtrot to search for a missing family member of his and this really can't wait.>[MAX ALLY] Corporate family? Have Max ask about which family or families they're having a meeting with. You already saw a Huxley here.>[PERSON OF INTEREST] Shady organization that pays a lot? Sounds familiar. Ask the receptionist what she knows about them. Anything specific they're doing here?>[CASEY ALLY] Have Casey do some small talk with the receptionist, see what she's willing to say without any direct prodding.>[CLOVER ALLY] Clover used to be a local here. Have him ask her about what's changed around here; maybe some forewarning on what you might encounter in the other places you plan on visiting.>[BENJAMIN ALLY + OVERHEARD ANOMALY RUMOR] Anomalies wandering around freely? Facilities seemingly abandoned or poorly maintained all over the place? Ask her if this is a recent thing or if it's been going on for a while. >Write inI'll probably make this a quicker update to make up for how slow I was to update it this time. Will probably close by the time I wake up.
