It's come to my attention that sentencing has begun again. To all those that are new here, or experiencing this for the first time, my name is Caitlyn Kiramman. I run a detective agency here in town, and would like to offer my services to anyone that might need them, given the circumstances. Whether it be for advice, as I've gone through sentencing myself, or just general aid in fulling the Council's requests, I'm available to be of assistance.
[To those that don't want to discuss their quandaries over the network, she can be found most mornings at Kiramman Detective Agency, and most evenings at Lupin Bar.]

[ It's one of the only things Jim's managed to not burn in the oven. ]
>> It makes no sense. It's like it's all a ruse, but to obfuscate what?
[ Something about this whole thing has been bothering Jim from the start, but he can't put his finger on it. As if once he figures it out, it will all make sense - but right now, he just can't see the forest for the trees. ]
>> Guess we'll have to wait and see. Hate that.
>> Thanks for talking with me, it does help to know what to expect, generally.

[Watching two masters battling it out on the chessboard would probably be a great way to learn some new tricks. Much better than just reading up on it.]
I wish I knew. It's bothered me too, since the beginning. Hopefully we'll find the answers to all of this, sooner rather than later.
[But then what? When-- or if-- they find the answers, do they just go home? Pretend like none of this even happened? Vi had once told her she might like to stay in Aldrip, but was that even a reasonable thought, when so many are thinking this place was all just a fake computer world?]
You're welcome, though. I'm just glad I could be of some help. The more we share about what we know among ourselves, the better off we'll all be in the end.

>> Ah, ye of little faith! Well, I'm sure we can tempt him to a game. We'll have you wiping the board with him in no time.
>> We're all doing our best to keep looking. The only way to lose is to give up.
>> I'll definitely let you know if I hear of anything. We're working on a theory, not much to go on just yet.
[ Ah yes, the quintessential question: how to torch the bridge when they get to it. Jim's been doing his best to keep his focus on the problems they can solve, though don't get him wrong; it's crossed his mind, once or twice. ]

[While most of the vegetables and fruits were similar, if not the same as ones she knew from home, there were definitely a bunch of other foods -- meats especially, that she had never seen before her arrival here. But even Zaun had their own delicacies that she had never tried, and that was just the lower half of her own home city.]
I appreciate your confidence in me, but you both have years of experience playing. I'll settle for just enjoying it, for now.
[She'll get there!! One of these days. But she does have a competitive streak, as well as a mind for strategy. Hopefully it'll work in her favor, now that she's more familiar with the rules for playing.]
I'd appreciate that. That's honestly how it's been for a while-- theories, with no real proof. Hopefully that'll change, sooner rather than later.

Bah, half of chess is bluffing. Fake it till you make it.
[ Spock's good at that, but Jim is good at distracting Spock with dazzling displays of illogic, so they make a good match. ]
Somehow I think we'll find something, one way or another. This can't continue on forever.
