( Kromer's decided she quite doesn't like this place. It doesn't seem like her opinion is an unpopular one, looking at other posts that have cropped up, so that's great. Wonderful when all of humanity is on the same page.

smile.

A whistle comes through the phone first, then her voice. It's a little on the grating side. )


Testing, testing.... Looks like this works! How wonderful.

( It might also be a little familiar to certain people, too. )

What an interesting situation we've found ourselves in. ( "interesting". ) It looks like some of you are already starting to get to know each other a little and make allies, huh? Ahahaha...

( ...... )

Since everyone else is posing questions, let me do a few too. Did you get a waste-of-time text before you left the train? What did you answer? What is your "business"? What Nest are you from? And finally, of course, the most important question of them all...

( Kromer pauses deliberately, relishing in her own dramatics. )

Have we any heretics among our number? I'm looking forward to hearing your responses.

[ ooc: a reminder that her opt-out is here! i'd highly encourage at least glancing at it. ]

[ yep, there it is. the shoedrop. roland could only let out a sigh. ]

Yeah, well. There's plenty of 'em here, I bet. Some of them don't even come from our City, do you know?

What are you gonna do about that?

[ you know what, he's gonna let her keep calling her "keter" till further notice ]

I somehow doubt that. Glad one of us is being optimistic about it, though.

[ in a really fucked-up way, but that's just the projmoon city's standard! ]

Were you in the middle of uh, your duties back home? Before you got whisked here, that is.

[ his eyes widen slightly. nest k? ]

Nailing judgment on a Nest? Did they not pay their taxes there or something?

[ it's none of his business, but it's funny how it's nest k of all places. he may as well hear her out. ]

[ purification... but that's the thing. no one in the City is pure. they're all filth, inside and out, metallic augmentations or otherwise. but what does roland know about crazy ass feathers anyway? ]

Oh, right. But... you said that you're from N Corp, right? Kinda weird that you guys doing some stuff at another district's Nest, unless both N Corp and K Corp are in cahoots with each other.

[ just mumbling out loud, don't mind him. ]

Well, uh. I should probably just answer your questions instead, huh. I'm just a subpar Fixer, so I can't really afford those kinds of fancy prosthetics...

[ sweats nervously ]

Probably not. Sure, there are pros to getting prosthetics, but they aren't for me. If I wanted a power boost, I'd just get enhancement tattoos or bioaugmentations - which are totally different from installing prosthetics, by the way.

[ one can't rise the fixer ranks without some form of augmentations to their body, and they don't have to be clunky and metallic either. is ncorp going to target them for that? 'cause if they do, they'd have to fight off all 12 associations for it and that's gonna be messy. ]

Didn't really say that we have the same mind, though.

[ he has a lot of buddies with prosthetics? there's nothing wrong with that kind of lifestyle. boy, if kromer ever met angela - ]

But, uh. You do your thing and I do mine, and if our paths cross at some point, we'll see where we can go from there. Is that better?

[ he'd never want to work for a zealot like that. how is she even crazier than the index themselves... ]
