"Oh," Linnea said before Eun banged on the vent forcing Linnea to look up. "There you are. Yeah I was arrested. They said I can leave but I can't post bail its $30,000. I wasn't even given the chance to get a hold of anyone so nobody but you knows I'm here."

Rose hurries as quick as she can to the post office. Stupid sleeping pills... they always make someone so sleepy they can't get up. Mailing her rent off is such a pain in the ass yet another visit from the Creditors is extremely unwanted.
Stepping into the post office, soaking wet, Rose scans the few people that are there and recognizes one person...
"Hilja?"

"Less so than you would think. I try to keep myself kempt and wear nice clothing... And I suppose I like that... But it's really more a consequence of my job than of personal preference. I dress this way because I am not only representing myself when I go out, but my company and a certain lifestyle people attribute to being one of the blessed. I could probably be just as comfortable in rags. The man makes the clothes, the clothes don't make the man."
I smile a little and look around at the other people in the coffee shop, then I look outside and notice that it's raining quite hard. That's very out of season... Hmm...
"As for the personal appearance of others... I really couldn't care less. Other people hardly matter and I am tragically, hopelessly un-shallow. I get told often that my conception of beauty is very strange and incorrect, so maybe it is. I see people like an architect sees buildings."

I arrive at the post office just in time to buy stamps and to mail that bill out. I am relieved to have taken care of this business, since who knows what would have happened had I been late on it. I let out a happy sigh and leave the post office just as they lock the doors.
Now back home I guess.
The strong winds are making my umbrella pretty useless. I wrestle with it for a while as it bends upwards into more of a funnel than an umbrella.
As I wrestle with it, something red catches my eye. "A fox!" I say too loudly. "I thought animals like that were extinct."
But something else also catches my attention. Rose's voice.
"Rose! Hi, how was work?" I ask her. She works at a strip club and I think she does other things too.

"30,000? Its official. They had gone insane." said Eun.
"If you want, I can ask our boss to help you with the bail unless you down too."

Attis looked up towards the voice, it catching him completely off guard since it could only be talking about him, although after seeing that it was only Hilja he loosened up and turned towards her, Sitting down on the pavement for a few seconds as he looked at her, wondering if he should go talk to her now or not.
Glancing around he saw that there were a number of other people out in this storm, so he decided against going straight up to her and instead got up and turned around to start walking down the nearest alleyway, stopping for a brief second outside to take look towards her.

"Well that is rather strange, but conception of beauty can't really be incorrect as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, at least in my opinon." Tuesday says.
She actually would've pinned Calithin as someone who was tragically and hopelessy shallow rather than the opposite. "You see beauty as architects see buildings." She repeats. "Would you care too elaborate a little more on that?"
She also notices that its raining. "Man, its really coming down out there." She comments.

Linnea tensed for a moment.
'Ack, Jumula,' she said to herself, then she would really owe him. 'Crap I just can't get away from him.'
"Ah yeah. You just want to let him know. I'm sure...he'll do something. You know how he gets once he gets upset. He doesn't like it when employees are taken away from him and I'm sure I have a nice pile of work on my desk by now."

"I understand how he get upsets. It is part of his mood swings, piss off mode or something like that." Eun reply with a small smile.
"Anyway, I will go back to Sota and tell Keito that you're in here okay Linnea?"

"Work is work. Not much to it when your swinging on a pole." Rose replies with a smile. She would hug Hilja, but she is already wet enough.
"How about you? Its been so long since I've seen you." Rose says a little slowly. The sleeping pills still have her a bit loopy but she definately didn't hear Hilja say anything about a fox.

"That's a sizeable amount. Due to the size of it, we may be able to offer a bit of a break in the interest rate," Alrick said, scanning the paper with keen interest as he made some mental calculations. Although he didn't let on with his outward expression, the wheels in his mind were turning rapidly and he had a good idea of where a good amount of the money was going to be going.
"But easily doable. If you wish we can draw up the contract right now."

"That would be great," she whispers with excitement. Actually she is feeling quite the opposite, Linnea is looking forward to getting out but not because Jumula came down and made it an even better point to why she should be nicer to him.

I watch the fox disappear and feel a little sad. "You know Rose, I just saw a fox. It was the most peculiar thing...since I thought foxes had gone extinct now." I tell my friend. "My friend Lucia's family used to raise foxes for their fur, but they were created by Genetech..."
I look off into the dark alley where he disappeared. "Maybe he was created by Genetech.."
My thoughts return to work, which I was distracted from for a moment.
"Work...oh work is good. I am so busy....I have a new job now though. I am working for an Elf professor named Charon as his garden helper."

"Hmm?" Rose looks at the direction Hilja looks but she doesn't see a fox. "Well, do you wanna see if you can find the little fellow? I'm sure he couldn't have made it far..."

I follow her gaze to the rain.
"Yes, it is. That's very strange... But I suppose you never know with the weather these days."
I finish my cola and take a moment to consider her question.
"Well, I take what I find beautiful much more seriously than most people do I think. I see people like structures... Like things that can be broken down to basic shapes and measurements. A series of angles, inclines, curves, convolutions, slopes and lines. So when I look at say, you, I don't just see a face... I see... A nose at about a 30 degree angle to the upper point of a slightly sloped forehead producing the 2nd concept formula for a scalene incline... Leading into parallel eyes which stress the curve of protruding and symmetrical lips. And so on."
