[In between her day job at the book store and her evening job at the theatre, Joan is taking a break at one of the coffee shops in Sector 4. She's bundled into a plain, gray coat that looks to have seen a little wear and use but it standing up quite nicely. Her hair is a touch longer now than in previous months, though she's got it clipped by today too.

Her NV is laying on the table in front of her. One can see the steam rising from her little styrofoam cup off to one side as she speaks.]

For the past three days, the same woman has passed by this coffee shop. She then turns around--

[Here she pauses a moment, obviously watching out a window.]

-- Comes in, buys a drink and leaves. Every day in the same jacket.

[She watches casually as a woman passes behind Joan in her chair, dressed in the ugliest jacket ever.
Joan watches her leave with a calm expression, then turns back to the NV as she reaches for her cup off to one side.]

Would it do any good if I told her about her jacket tomorrow?

[A sip and her expression changes to a crestfallen one.]

And do you believe I could get a different type of coffee as well?

It seems like it's the natives being effected. I don't see why you couldn't order a different cup. Why not try?

[allucinator]

Course you can, order somethin' else. I mean, I know it's shockin' and new, but try and keep up with me here.

Told her what- that she looks like a shaved polar bear that tattooed its skin with stripes?

Or that she should give it back to Kurt?

[showbizpanache]

You'll be doing her a service by telling her. Not everyone can pull off fur, especially if it's interspersed with a pattern. It's so busy.

I think you should try to tell her. Perhaps attempt to convince her to give it up, and then dispose of it as quickly as possible.
