"Kobayashi" answers the girl. "It's a very common name around here. So how long are you staying in Japan?"

In the wee hours of the morning, your commlink notifies you of an incoming message. "Here's what I found on this guy. But why do you want to know so much about him? He seems like your average drone-turned-to-the-shadows to me.

Kuren, real name Yamaguchi Kaname, born to both Japanese parents. He served in the JIA as an MP. Left of his own accord with a medical honourable discharge after a disgruntled soldier injured him. Shortly thereafter started his own business called TIA. Has a pretty decent solving record, but doesn't get much official business anymore. In the shadows, he's known for fact-finding and good at analyzing things. Knows his ways around the Matrix too."

Fischer read the message, *Drek, I was hoping there'd be something here I could use against him. This disgruntled soldier could be a lead, but I have no way to find him and if Sandman keeps digging it might get around to the wrong ears.* He sent the fixer his reply, <As I said, I want info on J, Smiley and Kuren because their former corp/military ties make me suspicious. Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but aren't you the one that said I was more paranoid than an ultranationalist on meth?

[Crossbow]

"Well, I suppose that depends on how things go with Renraku, are you looking to get rid of me already?" Smiley will belooking for a reaction when he names the corp.

@Pipebomb

"Yes, and I always remind you of how paranoid you are every time you start being paranoid. It'll take time for the other two, especially the redskin, but I'll get back to you."

"Hey girls, dont mind me, this guy has me dressing up like this... it's a nightmare!" Mia starts to take her makeup off at the mirror.

@Mia

Some of the girls give you a polite smile, look at each other and giggle and resume fixing their makeup, but do so in silence. Only the soft music from the club can faintly be heard from behind the door now.

Makoto's expression doesn't change at all. "Not at all, Boss. Don't tease me like that" answers the girl in a joyful complaining tone, giving you a playful slap on your chest. "You must be pretty important if you work with Renraku. Which city do you live in?"

[Crossbow]

"I got a little place in The Nation, no real town near to speak of, but mostly I live out of a bag or a coffin.  That is why I try to meet nice locals when I travel, they usually know the best places to get a good meal." Smiley says, smiling as he sips his drink.

[HydroRaven]

"You must be very tired, working as hard as you do" says the girl as a waitress comes over with her drink order. "You look like you could use another drink, Boss" says Makoto to you, ordering another shouchu for you.

[Crossbow]

Smiley holds up a hand to halt the waitress, "I thought we were sharing a bottle of the plum, and I really do need to look into getting some food. I know this is a bit forward, but could I ask you to join me and my companions?"  Throwing his considerable charm behind the request, Smiley gives Makato "The Smolder"^TM (Copyright  2010, Zachary Levi, Walt Disney Studios Tangled)

"This is highly irregular, Boss" answers Makoto. "But you look nice, so I'll make an exception for you. I finish work around 5:30, so if you want we could go somewhere after with your friends. I can bring some friends as well."

[Muscular_Bevar]

Mia starts to remove her makeup in the slience for a few moments, then stops and turns to the girls "I hope you dont mind but well, I wondered if you girls wanted a hand with your look? I have a few little beauty secrets up my sleeves!" She then proceeds to cast Healthy Glow on her self removing all traes of the make up and making herself glow with freshness, and after a pause to let it sink in, she cast makeover, going for a much more subtle enhancment to her features, bringing out her eyes and high cheeckbones and generally giving herself the trid starlet look.

"I have to be back at the office this morning, is there someone I can speak to about letting you go early?" Smiley rises from the table taking Makato's hand and starts looking around for a manager.

[HydroRaven]

@Smiley

Makoto looks startled as you take her hand. "This is not how things work here, Boss" she says, giving you a nervous laugh. As you stand up, you notice half the club looking at you and a man dressed in what looks like a tuxedo coming over your way rather quickly.

@Mia

One girl answers a simple "no sank yu" in broken English before they all look at each other and start giggling once more. One girl says "Your English is terrible" and they all leave the washroom, still giggling.
