This entire scene is an IC text message exchange on January 4th, 2021.
Ed
(Ed) Tell me about Bobbi. What is your opinion of her?
Bobbi? The mechanic who owns Angel Restorations on Ash and G Street? Lots of tats?
(Ed) Yes. That Bobbi. The one Evie said had strong opinions about people like me.
Well, that's totally true, the strong opinions. She's taught me somethings about different... types of people you could say? I trust her to not give me false information, but I'd always be conscerned about that possibly being colored by her strong opinions.
(Ed) Bah. Not the type to offer something and to have it be something else?
IDK. Me? Definitely not. You? IDK. What was offered?
(Ed) Its complicated. I mean, I'm still here and I'm under no illusions as to what would happen if she decided to remove me from the board. Problems with individuals - not a people. Hearing that on one side and closer to what you're saying on the other.
Sorry. Not following that. Clarify? Or... maybe not via text?
(Ed) Sorry. I have heard from several people to be careful because she has some very strong opinions about people like me. On the other hand, I am also being told that her issues are with the individual (and yes, many are utter assholes) and not the people as a whole. I don't entirely know what to believe/think right now.
I've never broached the subject with her. Evie had given the implication at the very least of prejudice on Bobbi's part towards people like you. Do you want me to look into this?
(Ed) At this point, I don't think it'll change much. I think I've already made up my mind to at least talk with her. Just looking for another POV, I think. Well, you'll know if I go silent, I suppose.
Want company at that meeting?
(Ed) I think it'll be fine. If she does end up giving me something, would you mind taking a look at it for me?
(Ed) Well, hoping it will be fine. Kinda basing this on the I'm still here bit.
She's going to give you something?
(Ed) There was the offer of something, yes. Kinda keeping it vague on purpose. If I do end up with something, I'd like to have it checked. Oh. Heard you name and security system in the same breath. If you need it tested, I could try and find any weak spots.
I'll have to clear that with the owner of the system. Will keep the offer in mind. And I'll gladly check out things you're given.
(Ed) Thankyou. Kinda assumed the system was yours. :)
I'll be setting up something for myself soon but the only one with my fingerprints on it is some else's.
(Ed) Ahh. As I said, I only heard you name and security system in the same breath. So made some assumptions. All that aside... I found out who did it. I passed on the info to the BF. I am leaving the ball in his court so what he does is up to him.
Did you tell him how to contact me if he was interested in doing so?
(Ed) I have not. No. Kinda fell of my list of things to do. I'll make a point of it when I see him again.
(Ed) One last thing, before I forget. I have all of Evie's VR gear. If you'd be willing to walk me through that? She was gonna show me, but, yea. :(
Sure thing. Custom made or off the shelf?
(Ed) Its whatever Evie had been using. Kinda tucked it into a box and haven't looked that closely at the rig. Kinda assuming off the shelf.
(Ed) Actually I could drop it off and leave it with you?
Are you comfortable leaving it at the gym I've been staying at? I can leave them a note to expect the package.
(Ed) Sure. I can do that.
Very good. I'll check it out for you and let you know when its ready.
(Ed) Okay. Know the place. Will drop off before morning. G'night Vic. T'care.
TTFN!
