You: It's still a physical asset, though. Doesn't that count for anything?

Savoir Faire: Sure it does. Not saying you should definitely *not* get it. But let's think about what to do with it first. Any ideas?
13->419

Bird's Nest Roy: "No... Being cooped up alone most of the day wasn't healthy for me -- just my own head to consort with. But a friend of mine knew of a way to deal with that."

Bird's Nest Roy: "It helped but it was another monthly outgoing... still is. It would have been fine but I was naive back then. Didn't think I'd ever run out of money..."

15
You: "I think I've tried it once -- and liked it."
115
Bird's Nest Roy: "Here you go, man." He presents a large cap-shaped object on the palm of his hand. Very odd-looking...
15->115
16
You: "Hey, those visuals you've got here would look great in the church." (Point at the lights in the pawnshop.)
747
Bird's Nest Roy: "Yeah, I bet they would... all those lights in a massive church hall..." He stares at the intricate interplay of light and shadow all around him, suddenly moved by the idea.

Bird's Nest Roy: "A Kristallsprach Model 9. Gottwaldian engineering at its finest. This is a specialist's model, ideal for picking up foreign signals..."
762
Bird's Nest Roy: "The Model 9 also comes equipped with a signal purifier to suppress crosstalk, especially good around here with our funky reception."

Bird's Nest Roy: "Something like that, officer."
343
Suggestion: That didn't work? He must have sunk pretty low.

Conceptualization: Turn it into an art installation. Invite viewers to question what it means to bring an outside light, *inside*? We have so many barriers to break down and concepts to explore... for a price, of course.
264
Physical Instrument: Imagine swinging it at a ball -- the distance you'd get! That's the kind of feat that nets sportsmen a corporate sponsorship.

You: "That sounds so cool."
546
Bird's Nest Roy: "Cool or not... One of them was obsessed with recording the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua -- and he was one of those passionate people who know a lot about all kinds of strange things, so he got the rest of us to join in his search..."
