2 Real Estate Agent "Satisfied? My name is Marielle Charpentier and I'm an agent with Martinaise Realty Associates. I am *not* breaking in, as I have every *right* to be here. The keys, see?" She jingles a set of keys in her hand.

  • 8
7 You [Leave.]
8 Real Estate Agent "Very well, but please make it quick." She slips the passport back to her purse and checks her watch. "I need to be back in La Delta in an hour."

10 You "What are you doing here?"
  • 11
11 Real Estate Agent She sighs and looks around. "I need to get it ready for the next lease, but as you can see, the previous tenant completely trashed the place."

12 You "Reprehensible. Who lived here?"
  • 13
13 Real Estate Agent "It was some kind of a moribund old man, who used to be a business owner. You'd think they'd make rent..." She stops, hesitating.
  • 31
14 Real Estate Agent "Do you want to see my ID as well? You can't *legally* ask for it, but why not? Want to see my residence permit, too?" She fumbles through her purse, fishing out a light paper-clad passport.

16 Real Estate Agent It feels flimsy in hand, with the words 'Revachol Zone of Control' written under a nondescript municipal logo. There's a picture of her with shorter hair inside, along with all her personal details.

17 Real Estate Agent "But -- that was months ago. Anyway. Was there anything you wanted, or is that it? I'm in a hurry."
  • 32
18 Real Estate Agent "Oh, that's another huge mess. The former tenant owes us three months of rent, *three*! We closed the apartment and planned on auctioning off the valuables, but..."
  • 22
19 Real Estate Agent "Of course," she replies with a smile, but her eyes remain glazed over -- she's been waiting for you to leave.
20 Real Estate Agent "Don't ask me what happened with the wall, I have no idea how we're going to find the time or resources to fix it."
  • 21
21 Real Estate Agent "*Both* apartments are now unrentable. Both!" She's still shaking her head, manicured hands now crossed over the chest.
  • 26
22 Real Estate Agent "And again, I have no idea how *stupid* mistakes like this can even happen, but Ron, when he came to close the door, didn't close the neighbouring door! And there's a hole in the wall!"
  • 51
23 Real Estate Agent "A hole in the wall, can you believe it?" She spreads her hands. "And then the tenant ran off with his stuff. He's gone, the *money's* gone, just like that!" She snaps her fingers.
  • 53
24 You "So wait, what happened with the wall?" (Proceed.)
  • 20
25 You "It couldn't have been that much money. These apartments look pretty shabby."
  • 27

27 Real Estate Agent "These apartments are perfectly fine! They have gorgeous architecture, a million reál view of the bay, good ventilation, neighbours, life, spark... And they are affordable."
  • 30
28 You "My money has also disappeared, I think."
  • 29
29 Real Estate Agent "Well, it does *not* disappear from my hands, no, I don't let it."
  • 52
30 Real Estate Agent "I'll tell you, Martinaise has a future -- in a few years it's going to blossom with artists and creatives and those radiocomputer wizards."
  • 42
31 Composure A sudden serious look crosses her face. This story didn't have a happy ending.

33 You "Everything seems to be in order." (Hand back the passport.)
  • 34
34 Real Estate Agent "Thank you." She slips the passport back in her purse. "Do you have any questions? I need to be back in midtown in an hour."

42 Rhetoric The *radiocomputer wizards* are invested with magical economic powers.
  • 55
43 Interfacing Boy there are a lot of different keys there. More than *twenty* at least...
  • 44
44 Empathy Her voice is really cheerful despite her obviously *hating* you.
  • 14
45 Suggestion Be friendly.
  • 39
  • 33
46 You "I fuck shit up too."
  • 47
47 Real Estate Agent "Heh!" She smiles aggressively. "Sounds like you've spent too much time undercover in some rock band."
  • 49
48 You "Who lived here?"
  • 13
49 Rhetoric It's not a compliment.

  • 54
54 Empathy Oh, it irks her. The *incompetence*.
  • 41
55 Inland Empire It's as if they're *real* wizards, able to resurrect dead real estate and breathe life into bank accounts.
  • 52
56 You "Isn't it a bit late to be working?" IsHourBetween(21,4) and Variable["apt.apt_real_estate_agent_asked_what_is_she_doing_there"]
  • 57
57 Real Estate Agent "It *is*." She breathes in and out to the count of three -- it looks like some special stress release technique -- before she continues...
  • 58
58 Real Estate Agent "Everyone says that real estate agents don't *do* anything, but here I am, in the middle of the night, cleaning up someone's 'crash pad'."
  • 59
59 Real Estate Agent "So, the sooner we get this over with, the better." She means you -- time for the next question.
