INLAND EMPIRE [CHALLENGING: SUCCESS] – Something about the way these girls carry themselves... The way they operate... I cannot identify it, but there is a commonality between us and them. Machines of the same make.
Inspect the rest of the pins.
Attempt to converse further.
[Rhetoric - Heroic 15] Convince the girls to tell you more about themselves.
It’s not important. (Proceed.)
LONG-HAIRED TRANSSEXUAL WOMAN – There are various pins on her jacket. Some more sexual identity-related flags, as well as some political messaging and symbology. Additionally, there are miscellaneous other things; one of a grammatical syntax symbol, one with some sort of small animal, and one that says “ask me about my pyrholidon habits.”
ENCYCLOPEDIA [CHALLENGING: FAILURE] – I can identify none of the pins to stand out as anything deeply familiar to yourself.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [EASY: SUCCESS] – You should ask her.

CONCEPTUALIZATION – Could you be a transsexual? Picture it in your mind. You, but transsexual. Harriet du girls. Harry-girl. Is this a satisfying image?

YOU – “You have to tell me things. We’re *connected* in some way. I can feel it.”
LONG-HAIRED TRANSSEXUAL WOMAN – She turns to her sister. “Can you believe this guy? Connected? What the hell is he talking about? She turns back to you, preparing to verbally lay into you.
SHIVERS [GODLY: SUCCESS] – Assistance. Guidance. In the silence before she speaks, mechanisms firing in unison. A team ready to dismantle you as we have dismantled so many before.
