[At least, for once, this is an intentional video. He is, however, much more casually attired than usual -- which, in this case, means with no suit jacket, no tie, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows. And he appears to be leaning on a car, cigarette in hand, as ever, and an errant smudge of grease or two on his face.]

I have two questions for the City at large. Call it... research.

[One of those tiny, polite smiles, and then...]

First of all, if there were one thing you think this city is lacking -- and "a means of escape" isn't a valid answer here, I'm afraid, since we all want that -- what would it be?

[A long pause.]

Second of all, I've been informed that I'm in need of at least one "modern" outfit, whatever that means. Is anyone here willing to assist?

Authentic Russian cuisine and yes, but I have been told that my ability to choose clothing leaves something to be desired.

City is without a coffeehouse - 'tea pad'.

[unflagging]

Man, that's a tough one. I mean, it's a city. It's got a helluva lot.

[gratefultogetaway]

Gonna have to agree with Pavel on this one...the food here is all right, but nothing tastes like home. I'd try cooking myself, but....well, I'm not so good at it.

I think you look fine. Don't see the difference between what you wear and what's considered modern, anyway. Clothes are clothes.

I'd say 'logic and general good sense.' But then I remember my own world was sort of lacking that too.

[ A little frown. ]

What's this about modern outfits, though?

[ john has no comment on the first question, but he'll try the second - ]

By modern, do you mean jeans and a t-shirt?

[thenormalsquint]

A decent internet. This network thing is nothing without Google.

And I own a clothing shop. Just pop in and I'll see what I can do for you.

Monsieur Lansky! [Have a very benevolent smile.] Isn't your outfit already quite modern? I should think.

[deadmanbusiness]

Nice car.

[Hi Meyer. Have your errant employee. He seems to be doing much better now. Hurrah!]

I imagine they probably mean something more like what I tend to wear.

[Fortunately for Meyer Theo doesn't usually wear jeans and tee-shirts (he does wear them but only on his off days) but more like slacks and nicer shirts. Rich kid business wear just below suits.]
