[i]"My name's Nat, calm down. I'm just heading to Ollimand for work, and I was heading out of Dojoville."
Rule number one of lying; Use a half truth to keep your story believable. Natalie told Divia why she was headed out of town, although she left out the detail of who she was working for and why she took a forest route, rather than a road. Nat had a certain tone about her though, one of calmness and collectivity that would make her story either more believable or completely false sounding, depending on the person. [/i]

“Yes. What sort of shit?”
-
[i]"General shit. I need a hand, you come help." [/i]
-
“I agree to those terms.” She says, coldly and focused on the city, eyes flickering back and forth over its streets and houses.
-
[i]"Cool. Also, you mind telling me what I can call you?" [/i]
-
“Divia, Betrachter, Nazir, Mirumono, aanschouwer, Sakshay, spectateur, paratritis, ochevidets,” She stops. “I think it’s one of those. Or maybe all of them. Maybe none of them.”
-
[i]"Let's just roll with Divia, aight?" [/i]
-
“Agreed. It sounds the most likely to be a normal name.”
-
[i]"So you dont remember it?" [/i]
-
“I remember all those. Titles, names, project labels maybe. I know they mean me but not much else.”
-
[i]"You remember? What?" [/i]
-
“I said I remember those words and know they mean me. So I guess they’re my names.”
-
[i]"You're fûckin' wierd, you know that?" [/i]
-
“Yep.” She says totally unabashedly.
-
[i]"At least you know." [/i]
-
“You are too. Cybernetic Cowboys are not “normal” assuming we’re using Average Joe as the definition for normal.”
-
[i]"You want to go and insult cripples? 'cause plenty of people have prosthetics." [/i]
-
“It isn’t an insult.“
-
[i]"Right. Well, whaddya wanna do now, just brood edgily on the roof?" [/i]
-
“You’re the one who brought me up here, and I’m not brooding.” She says as she continues observing.
-
[i]"You know what I mean. And I ain't got any ideas." [/i]
-
“Well I need to find somewhere to sleep.”
-
[i]"Need an apartment?" [/i]
-
“That would qualify.”
-
[i]"Go to the Dojo, the place gives away free rooms." [/i]
-
“Dojo? This place is home to a martial arts school?”
