If we proceed cautiously we might get something tangible out of her. 3->59 4 Empathy: Hints of deep emotional trauma that have led to ironic detachment... 66 Savoir Faire: It's all there if you know how to read people. Commanders of the streets like me have it down to a tee. I'll teach you. Listen up... 4->66 5 You: Not now. I'm on a roll. [Leave.] 7 Savoir Faire: A streak of individuality? As you wish... 5->7 6 Savoir Faire: What you need to do is lure them in with a strong one-liner -- get them on your side before you've even finished a sentence.

[Leave.] 17->54 60 You: Alright, I'm listening. 17->60 18 You: See *what*? (Squint your eyes.) 62 Savoir Faire: The *artisto*. Now hold up, you can't go into a bullring without a prep talk. It's baby's first sales negotiation after all! Savvy's gotta give you the do-s and don't-s. 18->62 19 Savoir Faire: Holy-moly, are we being arrested here?! Only tax inspectors and debt collectors speak like that. You don't want to start your business relationship with the wrong vibe. 20 Reaction Speed: But it would catch her off-guard. That's *always* an advantage. 19->20 20->73 21 Variable["pier.artist_guessed_wrong_once"] 22 Variable["pier.artist_guessed_wrong_once"] 21->22 23 !(Variable["pier.artist_guessed_wrong_once"]) 21->23 25 Savoir Faire: Mamma mia, if this isn't the Top Seller in La Delta! Everyone knew you'd eventually get it right... 22->25 65 Savoir Faire: Mamma mia, if this isn't the Top Seller in La Delta! No one expected you to nail this on the *first* try -- *congratulazioni*! 23->65 29 Variable["pier.orb_ultralib_happening"] 24->29 46 Suggestion: Hmm, it's a decent start, but you might need to change strategies down the line... 25->46 48 You: (Lean in.) Hey beautiful. Let's go for a walk on the *wild side*. 26->48 49 You: It's your lucky day! I'm in the market for some original *art* by the crème de la crème. 26->49 61 You: Excuse me, could I please take a look at your art? 26->61 64 You: Hand over your art. Put it in the bag. NOW!! 26->64 68 You: (Whip out your finger pistols and bang them in the sky.) It's your lucky day! I'm in the market for some original *art* by the crème de la crème. 26->68 27 Savoir Faire: The dishevelled hair, cheap clothes, slumping posture that suggests an unearned sense of superiority... 27->4 28 You: I know how to handle this, no need to coach me.

It bounces off their skin like rubber. The moment a reasonable business proposal enters their periphery, they go and get 'political'. 33->8 34 Variable["auto.on_cindy_balcony"] 35 Variable["auto.on_cindy_balcony"] 34->35 36 !(Variable["auto.on_cindy_balcony"]) 34->36 37 Savoir Faire: There!

It's your first sales negotiation, Savvy's gotta give you the do-s and don't-s. 63 Pain Threshold: That's a pathetic-looking *bull*. Where are the sharpened horns ready to puncture your gristle? There's no real danger here. 39->63 40->6 41 Savoir Faire: Okay then, off you go! Let's see what you've got. 42 Half Light: Quick, kill it with fire before it organises a *happening*! 42->3 42->38 50 You: How can you tell? 42->50 53 You: All stations beware, it's a level three happening-alert! 42->53 44 You: Alright, I'm listening. What's the plan? 44->33 45 Savoir Faire: What is this, a dating agency? Are you looking for a Pretty Young Thing to sponsor? Never mix business and pleasure -- *never*. 71 Electrochemistry: Counterpoint! What if pleasure *is* your business? Gigolos make bank *and* get that wet-wet. It's never too late to change careers... 45->71 46->41 47->39 48->45 49->21 50->27 51->5 51->18 51->47 52->26 69 Savoir Faire: Yes, this seems to be one of those *conceptual* types... not good.

BORING... Yawning my jaw off here... Next! 61->67 62->63 70 Drama: Rehearsal helps fine tune a performance. Learn your lines so they can flow out of you like Herc Zeitung's legendary soliloquy in 'Hoppla, jetzt komm ich!'! 63->70 64->19 65->46 66->72 67->12 68->21 69->72 70->17 71->73 72->28 72->44 73->26
