1!

...that is, Nick, you do seances?

Just purely from curiosity... _[/lie] Does that only work on people that have died here, in Hinoto-ri's world?

[ghost_shield]

Hi, you're interested in seances? I... can't say I've ever actually done any for anybody off-world yet, so I couldn't say either way. Why do you ask?

[terminalemulation]

Well, I mean... as an AI, I've always been... I suppose you could say I've known a lot of people over time, especially back home, but all most of them have died. So the idea of a conversation beyond that... hurdle... does make me curious.

[ghost_shield]

I see. That makes sense, I suppose. Like I said, I haven't really tried it before. I suppose it's worth a shot, but I can't make any guarantees.

[terminalemulation]

I figured from the beginning that the possibility would be low. Unrealistic, even.

[ghost_shield]

That so? Well, if you ever change your mind, I might give it a shot. Don't know until you try, right?

[terminalemulation]

That's right! I'll definitely keep the chance, however slim it is, in mind.

Thank you for your time, Nick.

[ghost_shield]

Anytime, *Hyun-ae.

Hello, Mr. Reeve. My name is Arturia Pendragon, I'm a Visitor who runs a delivery business around Hinoto-Ri.

I heard about the group you're forming through word of mouth. Would it be possible to assist somehow? My number is [insert it here]. Please get in touch with me when you have a moment. Thank you.

[ghost_shield]

Hello Ms. Pendragon! You're interested in helping us out? That's terrific! Are you going for the PR side or for the more physical labor side?

[maybe_a_king]

Whatever you need, Mr. Reeve. I can provide deliveries for free for anything you like and am willing to do almost anything you ask of me. Simply let me know what needs to be done and I'll lend my aid.

[ghost_shield]

["Well, she's open, at least."]

As a matter of fact, we're going to be working on getting rid of some of this graffiti that's around town. Want to help out with that?

[maybe_a_king]

No problem. I'll see what I can do about that. Is there anything else you need?

[ghost_shield]

You might want to consider taking some photos of the graffiti. They may be trying to tell us something, and only the most stubborn person would ignore it completely.

[maybe_a_king]

Will do. Thank you, Mr. Reeve. I'll do what I can.

[Several hours later he'll receive several photos of the graffiti in various locations courtesy of Arturia.]
