Ahaha... all Colors are, more or less? But Greta is a colleague of mine in her own right, not a hired cook.

[eliminated]

Oh, so kind of like a friend or roommate that provides you with meals to be nice? [a beat] What's a Color? I mean, in this context.

[riverbero]

It's a passion of hers. If not for us, she'd be cooking for its own sake.

[may as well make use of it, right?]

Ah, but- we're the highest rank of Fixer. Mercenaries, I believe is the most understandable way to put it? Though the lower grades take on more odd jobs than involved contracts.

[eliminated]

So... you're like a hitman?

[riverbero]

That's an indelicate way to put it... I've had contracts like that at lower grades, though, yes.

[eliminated]

... Is this, like, some super secret shady organization? Do you have to take me out now that I know about it?

[riverbero]

[girl help this is the funniest question he's been asked here]

Now that you know about one of the most popular careers in the City? Ah... I'm assuming it would be a little more under the table, where you're from?

[eliminated]

Being a hitman is a popular career?

[riverbero]

That isn't the only thing Fixers do. There are Offices known for negotiating contracts and gathering information as well, you know? But even in those fields you'll want to be capable in combat.

[eliminated]

Sounds, uh, wild.

[riverbero]

Mm, it's how the City operates. I've heard this place has more in the way of actual laws.

[eliminated]

So you're from a lawless land... [a beat] Does the City have an actual name?

[riverbero]

Only 'the City'. It's not entirely lawless, though... I suppose you could say it only has the laws that it needs?
