You: "But what if I need some *me* time?"

Kim Kitsuragi: "Some *you* time?" The lieutenant considers this a moment. "This is a police investigation, not a journey of self-discovery. You'll still have your evenings to yourself."
5->619
6
Encyclopedia: The RCM, or the Revachol Citizens Militia, is the police force you and him are part of. A self-organized peace corps of the occupied city of Revachol, the RCM operates within a legal twilight, yet its authority is rarely questioned. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you didn't know this?

Kim Kitsuragi: "You might," he nods. "It's important not to let one's *style* interfere with their work."

Esprit de Corps: This habit of dispensing wisdom has been brought to his attention before. He will not think less of you for lashing out -- he is trying to curb it.

Kim Kitsuragi: He corrects his glasses. "I say this from a purely tactical standpoint of course."

Physical Instrument: You feel a slight urge to put the lieutenant down for this, but you can't quite muster enough testosterone.
49->809
50
Physical Instrument: You may not *remember* taking any little 'tests', but you're strong as a goddamn ox. Anyone can see that!
51
Logic: The thing is, the RCM employs relatively few *oxen*. It's clear that what the lieutenant may lack in *musculature* he makes up for in other ways.

Kim Kitsuragi: After decades unchallenged, the lieutenant is caught off-guard by your brazen provocation, but his counter comes fast and hard. This could get ugly...

Kim Kitsuragi: "No, there are couple of people who haven't smoked cannabis. I'm sure of that."

63->453
662
Encyclopedia: The RCM deploys a self-styled structure called the Décomptage as its chain of command. Every lieutenant is responsible for two sergeants and eight officers. That means the average lieutenant has to deal with quite a few personal affairs. Even you know this.
64->662
65
Kim Kitsuragi: "I think the dispatch desk just told both our stations about the hanging. There was quite the brouhaha at the 57th, I can tell you that. 'Time to *settle it*', they said, '*Cop Off*'. But..." He leans in: "I assure you, I am not their *finest* or *toughest*, with *one hundred-and-two cases solved*. What I am is *least interested in a pissing competition*."
631
Reaction Speed: So he volunteered to represent the 57th, but not out of competitiveness -- on the contrary.

You: "It doesn't *have* to be murder. It can just be sex."

Conceptualization: It can still be an otherwordly sex-mystery *in your head*. With a dark twist, even.

Inland Empire: Only banal things strike you. At the core, you're a very banal person, with a very small soul.

Composure: This man has sharp, precise composure, without impatience. Years of being himself have whittled the tension down to readiness. He is at home in what must be a subtly thought out set of apparel. Do you even have anything to teach him?
