[Kanade's the straightforward type, and since her job didn't necessitate secrecy in the same way as a spy, it led to her just not really being too fussed about it outside of non-disclosure contracts and so on. But she does hum in agreement to Albert's comment on fighting, because while she's half expecting it to happen, she doesn't really want it to.]
Got a bit too jaded by this point to think it's not gonna happen eventually, but it's been okay so far besides what went down last month. [And that was more trying to Sync people down, in the end, since that was what worked best.
After adding a few more things to the selections - some metallics, something glittery and a very loudly embroidered waistcoat, Kanade offers out the...considerable pile.]
Hey, I'm eager to see what they end up lookin' like on a person, I get the feeling some of these are probably better on the rack.
[Kanade eyes Albert up for a moment, like she's thinking on something, before posing a question back to him.]
While you were waitin' to come down here, did anyone on that space station transform? We were dealin' with a real shitshow down here because a bunch of people turned into monsters and then went feral all over the place to boot.
[She hadn't gone feral herself, but that had meant trying to clean things up after the people who had been, and get them back to normal.]
They probably woulda had an easier time of it on the space station because they woulda known to expect it by then. Down here, they just kinda had to lock down and wait it out until the leader of the city could talk to the kid god and sort it out.
[Which gives her hope that it's not going to go that wild again the next time it happens, but who knows with this sort of thing.]
Better than I woulda expected, with how much Malachite's messin' around seems to bother 'em. They locked down durin' the actual transformations since there was also some sky burnin' shit goin' on, but once they came out it all turned into this.
[She gestures broadly around them, referring to the boutique's sales going on at the moment to help out Gembonded.]
All this cheap sellin' or givin' away stuff to try and get us back on our feet again.
They have been pretty generous, this is just a little more generous than usual.
[It's not like they can have Gembonded sales all the time, or it'd probably look like preferential treatment to the locals.]
Guess it depends on your outlook. If somethin' else catastrophic happens before the next group arrives, they might do it again, but I think it's mostly meant to be makin' up for the transformations and feral states and whatever else.

I think you may be correct about that. We shall see how it goes.
[But as an afterthought, he stops on his way back to the dressing room and asks:] What happened last month, if I might ask?

[That? That happened here? Perhaps this place is a little less innocuous than he'd hoped.]
Many did, and some were violent. Unfortunately... They made it seem like such things were vaguely controlled. How unsettling.

[They were... violent on the ship. He fought a few.]

[Not everyone is going to talk about that in public, especially when whoever did it might not have been in full control of themselves, but still.]

[He smiles faintly.]
How did the locals take it?

[No, he suspected something deeper, but isn't better to play up being kind of uselessly foppish for the moment?]
I'll still take advantage of it, but if they don't extend this to others who may come along... It's unfair, isn't it?
