3 Kim Kitsuragi "Anyway, we should probably get back to the case. Let's go."
4 Kim Kitsuragi "For starters, you're wearing *the exact same* outfit I first met you in..." He holds his nose.

5 Kim Kitsuragi "Have you even *smelled* that jacket? It's like some wretched night-wandering creature died in it."

6 You "It's disco, Kim."
  • 35
7 You "Yeah, maybe I should let these threads air out a little bit."
  • 36
8 Composure The lieutenant's right. You're the acrid sweet smell of decay that makes people evacuate the room.
  • 11
9 Perception (Smell) You have developed a bit of a *rind* over the past few days.

14 Kim Kitsuragi "Now, now, no need to despair, detective. You know the expression 'The clothes make the man'? We just need to find you a *new style*. That jacket you just acquired is a decent start."
  • 115
15 Kim Kitsuragi Seeing you on the verge of tears, the lieutenant realizes he was maybe overly direct vis-a-vis your sartorial situation...

27 Kim Kitsuragi "I'm glad you've finally started dressing a little more like an officer of the RCM. Keep it up."
  • 71
28 Kim Kitsuragi "It's good to see you looking like a proud officer of the RCM. It's important for the people of Martinaise to know we're here."
  • 71
29 You "Regular cop, regular clothes."
  • 31
30 Kim Kitsuragi "It's, well, a little *eclectic*, don't you think? How would you even describe what you're wearing?"
  • 72
31 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant regards you for a moment, unsure whether you're making a joke or not, and if so, whether he should acknowledge it...
  • 32
32 Kim Kitsuragi "Right, detective. You are one regular cop."
  • 34
33 Kim Kitsuragi "You're an officer of the RCM, not some *bon vivant*..."
  • 34
34 Kim Kitsuragi "You know the expression 'The clothes make the man'? The right outfit, in the right situation, can make all the difference in the world."
  • 115

  • 66
44 You "I don't care about their politics, it just *looks* cool."
  • 61
45 Kim Kitsuragi "Well, all that FALN gear makes you look like a bicycle courier. All you're missing is the shirt."
  • 64

  • 54
51 Kim Kitsuragi "Yes. And this 'mega-binoclard' knows how to sew a lapel and center a back vent." The lieutenant raises one eyebrow at you.
  • 119
52 You "I'm not taking 'style' tips from someone who dresses like a mega-binoclard."
  • 51
53 Kim Kitsuragi "So if you want to wake up next to anyone other than *Commodore Red*, you might do well to take notes."
  • 3
54 Kim Kitsuragi "Then maybe you should change your look..."
  • 34
55 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant sighs. "It might feel good to play *super-merc*, but you might want to ask if it's actually helping you solve the case..."
  • 34
56 You "What happens when I find the shirt?"
  • 57
57 Kim Kitsuragi "Who knows?" The lieutenant shrugs. "Perhaps something *miraculous*."
  • 58
58 You "Really? You think so?"
  • 34
59 Kim Kitsuragi "Officers above the rank of sergeant are granted wide discretion when it comes to their uniforms..."
  • 60
60 Kim Kitsuragi "The idea is that civilians are more likely to open up to someone who's not dressed like a typical cop..."
  • 34
61 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant sighs. "Is that really the impression you want to give people?"
  • 34
62 You "Okay." (Nod.) "You're a sharp dressed man. We could be style buddies."
  • 97
63 You "I'm wearing it in case we get into a firefight."
  • 55
64 Composure The lieutenant's right. It gives you all the *panache* of a bicycle courier, daredevil and commander of the city streets!
  • 56
  • 82

  • 63
  • 50

103 Kim Kitsuragi "Well, I can't say it doesn't *fit* you..."
  • 104
