>>6338851As the group follows Maggde down the street, the chaos of the city steals your attention for a moment. Every person that walks past you seems to be a real character. Even the humans are dressed in styles you've only ever seen on television, if that. A mist has rolled in from the sea; you didn't have time to think about it yesterday, but Saturn Apartments seems to be close to the bay. You think about the famously romantic Chaotzakka promenade...
But you decide not to get caught up in your thoughts for now. Hassan seems like a chill guy. You ask him a few basic questions about himself.
"Me? Well, I'm new in the city, just like you. Got here a week ago. Had to bounce around a few places because most boarding-houses don't take hunters. I'd no idea! Eventually someone tipped me off about this place. Well, to be honest it wasn't my first choice, but money's tight, so..."
You try to figure out where he comes from.
"Well, originally from Exo-Jaipur, but I've been moving my whole life with my Dad. I'm sort of meant to inherit the family business. But I'm not married to the idea. I promised him I'd try this out, and if it doesn't work then I'm just gonna try and get a normal-ass job... or I'll get killed before I get the chance, I guess."
"You're Civil Service, right? Not hard to tell from your outfit. Me? Yeah, I got to skip that... special training. It was kind of a useful excuse. But now we're both here, so I guess it didn't really matter in the end."
You wonder exactly what he means. Civil service is compulsory for everyone between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. Maybe he's a foreign resident or something. Maybe he's rich. It kind of sounds like it. You try to glean whether he's carrying any weapons, but there's nothing immediately identifiable as such.
