"I will probably get used to this. Eventually. Should I just fly there or what?"

"It's probably motorcycling distance."  She names an address in the town Cam drove out to last night to pick up omnilol after dark.

He will hop on his motorcycle and head out.

And here is a tastefully decorated establishment, with heads in laps, the description of an elaborate color-coded wristband system posted on the wall, and a serious-looking bartender.

Gosh, what do the wristbands mean?

They appear to signal what kinds of drugs and 'affections' the wearer is open to.  Alcohol's on the list; none of the others are recognizable.

Presumably "here to mention that I wanna collect bribe money" is not on the list. Is there a "just business" one or something?

"Not participating" is indigo and "first time" is a pale yellow charm clipped on one of the holes.  ('ALL wristband charms MUST BE RETURNED before exiting the premises of Laxtrict.  Theft is a crime.'  And on a neatly-markered index card taped next to the sign: 'Disposable wristbands do not belong in the charm basket. Being inconsiderate to staff is rude. Tip your Arbiter.')

He will take an indigo and a yellow charm and venture further in among the people. Can he... tell... which of them are the "tame" solquinoxen?

They're the ones with black metal bracelets instead of plastic wristbands, but even without those it's mostly possible to spot them by vibe; they're the ones who have a head in their lap, and/or are petting someone's hair, and/or are giving a massage, and/or are dressed very sharply, and are all looking completely composed and unnaturally gorgeous as opposed to on drugs and with a usual range of attractiveness.

Any of them currently unoccupied-looking? And maybe not in an obviously predatory mood while he's at it.

Here's one.

"Good day! It has come to my attention that your gemini collective or whatever you call it has a fund for appeasing powerful entities, do you know much about that?"

". . . Good evening.  An interesting question, and conveniently one I had been reading up on earlier this very day.  Are you perhaps an interesting person, or a convenient one?  Or: both."

"I am unambiguously interesting and ambiguously convenient, why do you ask?"

Cam receives an appraising look.

"I would like to establish that I have not been drugging my brother's cat."

"...oh, is it you with the mysteriously appealing treats? How do you get them that way without drugging her, then?"

"I don't know about mysterious.  Do people usually achieve deliciousness via drugs where you're from?"

"To my knowledge I'm the only human who can talk to cats so I'm not sure how you achieved culinary superiority but I suppose it's not impossible."

"It isn't particularly difficult to discern what food a cat does or doesn't like if one pays attention.  And this is presumably even less the case when she is, apparently, secretly a person and applying her intellect to communication."

"Well, congrats on your five-star feline cheffery. Unrelated to the appeasement fund though."

"Quite.  How shall my less incidental geminis contact you?"

"Write 'letter to Cam' on the correspondence. There is no step two."

"How terrifying.  Are you interested in any more-immediate deals; I expect this one to take some time to process especially if you have no legal or financial identity."

"Go ahead and pitch me."
