Jason paused and said "You didn't go through a window, did you?"

Kim laughed and said "JASON!"

"Aha, umm, incredibly," Skyla stated, getting a little embarrassed. "I only asked for my favorites. I have, um, let's see," she went over the numbers in her head for a moment, despite knowing them off the top of her head. "At least a hundred different consoles, most from the first generation but I've bought every modern console as it's been released, two arcade machines, two pinball machines, and...thousands of games. I had just gotten my VR set up before everything started happening. In another life I would've been into e-sports, I think," she said.

"Dang, you've got more games than I have hats, that's impressive." Brett remarked, taking a sticky note and beginning to fill it out.

Kim sighed "JUst try not to crash through these ones" commented Kim pointing the Paradise windows.

Jason sighed and said "I won't sweetie"

"That's still a lot! What's your favorite?" Skyla asked curiously.

(Proposal to TS?)

"Hm, gotta be the one from my hometown, back in Texas." Brett answered.

(I'm good for whatever, a week doesn't sound too bad)

(Actually that's where I was gonnna start...so...here we go...)

One week has passed in Facina and the new normal was starting to kick him. With the Police more empowered, Andy Falconettie has been running a legitament Waste Management business while he works on the time to plan actual operations. Sapphire Claudio was overseeing the construction of her new Casino, it should be ready by the end of the year. She did hear about what Kenny's boys did to Paradise...or...rather...what Kim screamed at her for.

Ms. Claudio actually bothered to leave a message in a bottle near Kenny's Old House, nothing more because if she stayed to long in his territory she'd be dead. So they could talk about this, and maybe broker some peace.

Kelly, in the meanwhile, has been doing odd jobs around the City. NOthing illegal, but it pays the bills since Sapphire isn't going to be helping her out anymore.

However, there has been a normal that...is change. Today is the day that Jason Black's results will be told...and what will happen after.

However, as Kim was happy for Jason, she also thought about her brother in law. It's been a while since she's heard from him...this sense of normality...slowly returning...he should probably know about it. She just made her way there to talk with him.

Skyla was training currently, after she had lucked upon finding a firing range within the tunnels. It had been some time since she had actually practiced her firing skills, and she needed to get back up to snuff for her current goals.

Itsumi had, as she anticipated, needed to leave eventually. Mimi came snooping around after 5 days, luckily Itsumi had laid sensors far enough out to give her enough time to slip away, but there was enough usage and disturbed dust around the house that it was evident someone was staying there at least. She just hoped Mimi left everything well enough alone. Now though, she was waiting to hear from John about the safehouse, hiding out in the library as she did.

Mimi had no luck with Skyla's house, even as she continued to stake it out. She had gone three days in a row and...nothing. It was doubtful Skyla had been here, she had been missing for months now, so the only person it could be was Itsumi, and she was far too smart to be caught like this. Still, she kept tabs on it quietly when she wasn't working, but for now she was visiting the dark and quiet coffee shop, or rather, she was observing it quietly from her car across the street.

After processing, Kim was lead into a room with a table and two chairs and asked to wait quietly. It was several minutes before she heard the clicking of the door and then Tyler was lead in, and sat across the table from her. Tyler glanced at the guard who nodded and stepped back outside.

He looked...terrible. His hair had grown out, and his beard was short and patchy. He looked almost grimy, as though barely showered, and heavy bags were sitting beneath sunken eyes. He sniffed, rubbing his face with one hand before he sighed. "Hey, Kim," he said quietly.

"Well that was a waste of time." Kenny remarked, crumpling up the paper and throwing it in the trash bin. "Thinks she deserves to go straight after ruining the lives of god knows how many, using dirty money to live a comfortable life. How stupid can one person be?"

"The bar is always getting set higher around here, sir." Brett remarked.

"Sure feels that way." Kenny sighed, leaning against the desk.

Jonathan slowly journeyed across the street, heading for the library he had tracked Itsumi to. The safehouse was chosen finally, and hopefully she could stick to this one.

Kelly asked Frank "What do you want done with the left over barrels?"

"Keep them" Frank commented "I got a business partner that needs them"

Kelly nodded at that and kept working silently "Thanks Kelly"

"Hey, you're paying Frank." Ms. Holt said with a smirk.

Kim sighed and said "Yeah, sadly, I just want to know if it's as bad as it looks" no sugar coating it.

Istumi was sitting in the center rotunda at one of their several tables. She had headphones on over a beanie that kept her hair mostly obscured, with bluelight glasses that covered a good bit of her face, but she was still somewhat recognizable.

Tyler sighed, clenching his arms for a moment before relaxing once more. "It's no different than how I would be at home," he remarked. "At least here they make me sober up before turning me loose again."
