lol good guess

You're living in De Chima, right?

Alas, no 😔 I just own the imPort clinic downtown.

But I’m familiar enough with the city, given how long I’ve been working there?

Bummer. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I'm not as familiar, so you probably know more than me. I don't get hired out to De Chima all that much. Enough that the cops know me by name, but that's about it.

Well, I can still give you the grand tour. 😄

Are you running on the same platform as last time? That'll help me determine which neighborhoods we should hit, and which imPort businesses we'll visit.

I'm working on refining it, but yeah. Definitely want to work on improving relations with the natives, especially after what just happened with time looping.

Pretty sure the majority thinks we're all nuts now.

Yeah, my staff thought I was on way too much caffeine....

Has that ever happened before, btw? The natives just not remembering the same things we do??

Not like this, no. Usually when bad things like this happen, we're the ones specifically targeted and everyone knows it. It's part of where the animosity comes from, I think.

Then again, we've never had a nuke from space launched at Florida either.

I can't entirely blame them for feeling that way, either. :(

Makes you wonder why they don't remember the missile. Or even time rewinding over and over to begin with... But sorry, I guess that's not anywhere close to what you wanted to ask.

Uh, I think it was Lachese?
Not sure how to spell their name.
But it's the only reasonable explanation for it.
Protecting their porter.

But anyway, yeah; I could use all the help I can get with this. Have you seen that Baal guy? I'm going up against a god, and this time I can't kick him in the face to win.

Yeah, I saw, and tbh, I wasn't impressed.

[ Sure, he had high production values, but he's a god clamoring for power among mortals. That's gone well about... oh, never. ]

What does a god know about being human?
Unless they've actually spent time with us, their so-called encouragement only goes so far.
I was thinking about interviewing him to see why he was interested, but....
You know where my biases lie. :P

Well, he explained how his world works. That he was human blessed with divinity.

But idk

Hearing him talk and seeing him reminded me a lot of the gods from my world. They're not nice.

Yeah, I can imagine.

I can definitely spotlight you in the Heropa Daily and a couple of the De Chima papers. Maybe get you some promoted ads on Bwitter, partner up with some of the other, more famous imPorts.... what would be best for you?

I am a painfully average Japanese man going against a very good looking black man that also happens to be a god. I need all the help I can get.

You're not average. 😐

Guess I should take you shopping too, while I'm at it. You'll feel better when you're looking your best!!!

lol you're starting to sound like Viktor.

But I guess I can't say no to getting myself a new suit.

The ice skater? Well, he knows what he's talking about.

If you meet me at the imPort clinic, we can go shopping first and then embark on that grand tour.

Yeah; he's a friend of mine.

Employee?

I accidentally ended up owning the rink in Heropa so I don't even know.

But yeah, that sounds like a plan. I'll see you there.

I know the feeling, though... Did the previous owners leave it to you with no warning?

[ Because uh, that keeps happening to her. At this rate, she suspects she and Barry are going to own a lot of random businesses. ]

Sounds good! Just call or text me when you get there.

Well, I wouldn't say no warning, but I still wasn't expecting it. I felt a little bad passing responsibility for it off to Viktor, but I barely know how to skate, not to mention run a rink.

[ He has no idea how he ended up with this much responsibility. It's a big load of W H Y. ]

Okay! See you in a bit.

I felt the same way when I got the clinic, and then the barcade...

[ but this isn't about commiseration, this is about getting Adachi to look and feel amazing: ]

I'll tell you what. If I find a reliable CPA, I'll send their number to you ASAP.

Sounds good.

I'm going to wrap up here at my office. I'll see you in a half hour or so?
