>You have no concept of what the labor pool or employment opportunities are for such work. But, you imagine with time, she'll find someone else.
>"Hm, okay," says the Pharmacist. "Well, you sound new to this, so keep your mouth shut about it to others. That goes for your girlfriend, too." She gives Parsee a glance. "Anyways, if it takes too long, I'll have to cut the fee a bit. I want it as fresh as possible."

>"Enlightenment," says the pharmacist, grinning. "Oh, don't worry, I'm not using it on anyone. There's so many less irritating ways to poison people. And it's bad for business in any event."

>The pharmacist nods. "Just remember, make sure they can't trace it to me. Or else."
>Akyu's home, and your own, is about a five minute walk away if you are willing to take shortcuts, which you always do. You head eastward, toward home
>As you walk through an ally between the street you're on, you see three kids in high school uniforms hanging around the entrance; one of them a blue-haired girl with a hair ribbon that looks oddly familiar. Another is a green-haired girl with a yellow ribbon in her hair. The third is brown-haired, wearing a green mop hat, They are laughing amongst themselves at the moment.

>You try to ignore the pain, and kick at the green-haired one. You connect weakly, but your superior size is enough to force her back a bit.
>The blue-haired one moves after you, then Parsee it at her side, and she's crying out in pain while there is a sharp zappy noise.
>You back away, putting your back against an old wooden fence that makes up one of the alley walls. The blue-haired one is down, and the other two are looking pretty nervous.
