"Right. Well, you can always try his apartment. Who knows where it is." The landlord starts to rattle off his factoids.
"Eh? How the hell do YOU not know where it is?" Lex clenches his fists. "Are you retarded or somethin'?"
"Fuck you, bud." The landlord squints at Lex. "I just give them the key and they find the apartment. All I know is he likes going up high."
"Alright, alright." Alexis steps in. "Well, what can you tell us about him, sir?"
The presence of a non-schizoid lady calms him down a bit. "Well, he would always go to this one store around here. <span class="mu-b">Ashley's General Store.</span> Something about getting supplies?"
You look down at your map. Taking a quick look, there does seem to be a store like that nearby. You mark it down a second time just to be safe.
"Second, one of the neighbors made a noise complaint about him a day or two ago. Can't quite recall." The landlord scratches the side of his head. <span class="mu-b">"Something about three men having an argument?"</span>
Huh. That's slightly concerning. You raise your voice as you ask your own question.
"W-well, we know some friends of his. Do you happen to recognize, uh, Roland Moreau or Weston Halford?"
The landlord squints at you like you're an idiot. You feel like you're gonna get a lot more looks like that in the future. "You're not from around here, right?"
You look at the almost monotone haze of the room you're in, then at the landlord, then at your normal colored self. "...Took you that long to realize?"
Your two allies try their best to hold in a laugh while the Landlord slumps into his chair. "Fair. Well, I don't know who Weston is, but Roland?"
"<span class="mu-b">I think he runs the biggest drug store around here.</span> Not the fun kind, you know what kind." So, another pharmacist? "Ben kept crying about him the last time I saw him. Couldn't get a word out of him."
"All I got left is who gave the noise complaint. Ms. Izanata, Floor right above us, first apartment you've seen." The landlord grabs his porno mag and begins flipping through it again. While you didn't get anything SUPER useful, you got some starting points to actually find him.
The three of you step away from the front desk. You look over at Alexis and give her a smile. "T-thanks. For, uh, breaking the ice with him? I-it helped."
"Yeaaahhh, I really just wanted to punch him. Getting kinda bored." Lex mumbles to himself. "Boring room, boring landlord, boring talk. Wish I could just punch a fuckin' anomaly or something."
"Hey, this is just the start!" You wave your hands around. "N-no need to get so riled up!"
"I rather not get the cops called on our first mission together, thanks." Alexis responds a deadpan, dried tone in her voice. "Just be glad we're actually succeeding so far."
You got some decent leads. How do you want to continue, Nicole?
