"Huh. Oh yeah, that Hoculus thing? I'm not sure how but I somehow managed to dodge that entirely. Then again I spent that time locked up in my apartment with a gasmask and a stockpile of microwaved meals." Smiling awkwardly at her comment about how he's not that bad a guy, Harkens felt obligated to answer back with, "Erm... Well honestly before I came here, I was a pretty bad dude. I mean I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna start doing stuff like that again. Guess it depends though. Canniballism... Ehh... Stock broker, can't say I've much experience with stocks. Heroin... You know I can cook up some stuff for you, right? Like... Do you smoke, snort or shoot?" Harkens had a feeling that the last question might be more around the lines of "D. All Of The Above" but to him, asking was also a form of courtesy as well as knowing what the customer wants. "Still, that's kinda one of the nicer things people have said of me. Thanks. Seriously." |

Rio shook her head. She held up a hand, palm out, fingers extended. Best to nip this in the bud: "Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in heroin. Not Cocaine or the harder amphetamines, either. I try to keep track of what I'm doing to my brain chemistry, and...well, sometimes I lose track, but I'm not interested in anything that makes me vomit or want to shout my own name." She then looped back to what Harkens had said, and stopped short for a second. "That's one of the nicest things?" she asked, incredulously, "I find that hard to believe." She narrowed her eyes, and said, flatly, "Now you're just fishing for compliments aren't you?" |

"Huh... Better keep that in mind. So... Hallucinogenics mostly. I think I can understand that." Seeing Rio stop in her steps for a moment, Harkens shrugged and said, "Well, I meant, ones that actually seem to be genuine. They come few and far between. Then again any compliment's nice for me so... If you have anything else, go ahead." |

"Hallucinogens, yeah. Occasionally a weak upper, sometimes some things to relax a bit." She rolled her eyes and looked away, smiling slightly. "So...I'm not going to ask for details. No, wait. I am. I am going to ask for details, I'm not going to ask for a global picture. Where were you, exactly, before you came here?" She did err slightly closer to him, a bit inside arm's reach. The shopping center could be crowded, after all. No sense in taking up more room than was necessary. |

"Good to know." As Rio asked about his past, Harkens gave her a smirk. This time he was willing to indulge himself. He's gotten used to explaining his backstory. Still... "Well, tell me this reporter. This gonna be on some paper?" |

Rio chuckled. "Huh. You seem to think it's something interesting. Now I've got to know." She pulled her digital voice recorder from her vest, showed him that it was off, and then slipped it back into her pocket, keeping her thumb away from the stud that would turn it on. Usually, after she did that, she would surreptitiously activate the small device and stand closer, to better record what was being said. After a second, she said, "I mean, if you don't want to share, I could just..." She glanced away, as if considering whether to leave or not. |

Closing in on her, Harkens leaned in and simply told her, "Reno." There. That's where he's from. "If you want more, then ask." He had a feeling this was going to be interesting... |

Oh, so it was going to be like pulling teeth, was it? Did he really think that he could stand against her? Rio made a joking gesture, acting as if she were rolling up nonexistent sleeves. Of course, her first question wasn't one to inspire much confidence in her ability to uncover the truth: "Reno...where is Reno, exactly?" |

"State of Nevada. The United States of America. Earth." This was going to be fun. Still, Harkens had a feeling that they've been walking for a bit too long and his legs are starting to to get tired. Luckily they just happened to cross a frozen yogurt shop. "Let's continue this interview with something to sit, 'K? On me. Feels like we've been walking for as long as plot holds out." |

"As long as what holds out?" she asked, as she followed him in. Great, she was going to get crazy-talk Harkens instead of...well, actually, he only seemed to not talk crazy when stoned. Huh. "So what kind of place was Reno?" she asked, getting in line behind him. |
