This. We are mice not men. Let us bond over cheesy goodness.

Your cousin looks like she is stressed or worried about something and pretending to in a good place for you specifically. I wouldn't push it right now.

Tell her that you're happy to be in town with her. Let her show you around. Go out to eat if you're hungry.

You been on the train for a few hours so you ask your cousin about eating.

Sure enough she obliges you and leads you to a cute little cafe a little ways down from the station.

It's called Francine's~

Before you go in you give your parents a brief phone call. Tell them that you made it and met up with Candy. They say they love you and tell you to enjoy your vacation!

You take a seat outside on the patio and you both order.

You order a glass of water and some cheddar biscuits. They're not AS GOOD as your cheddar biscuits. But for city folk they're pretty decent.

Candy orders Cheese, grapes and wine.

You ask her what's there to do in Pawpulpus?

"Well, If you're visiting for a while you gotta get registered at City hall so you can get a credits card....there's also plenty of shopping, I can show you all my favorite boutiques. You're my guest so don't you even worry about spending a single credit~ Oh and later tonight I can show you the hottest club. I love three blocks down from~" She sighs as she swivels her wine around.

How about a summer job? Anyone hiring?

Swivel your water around in your glass like a classy dame

>>726716
Yeah, mimic her swirling her drink.

Ask what the club's called.

>>726714
Shopping could be fun but you don't want to impose too much having her buy a bunch of things for you!

And sure, you'd love to go out and have a good time with her tonight.

Ask at what part of the city these locations she wants to show us are at. We want to avoid the north side if we can.

>>726714
Ask if she knows any pet stores nearby. Not to buy, just look at the cuties.

Expel liquid violently from every orifice.

well she seems to have things planned out pretty well, don't see why you can't go along with it. But don't try to buy to much if she's paying. You're still her guest after all and shouldn't take advantage of her generosity.

Also catch up with her. I mean you haven't seen her in years so might as well ask her how the things have been since you two last saw each other.

"Oh it's a nice little hot spot. Just a block from where I live. It's called 'The Woodland'. Just on the North side of town."

"As for a job, well you'd need to Register at Town hall for a work permit. Even if it's just a season. They like to keep tabs on the Citizens here. It's no farm sweetie."

>>728143
...Clever way of putting her professions.

Hoo golly, Miss Molly, you are in for a ride.

Be careful. Very careful.

We are a simple country mouse and are glad she's helping sick people get better.

This is gonna be the bestest vacation ever, and Candy's gonna teach us so much cool city stuff!

chew on your button to calm your nerves if you need to.

ask about her boyfriend/girlfriend.

Be careful! Olly mentioned anyone could be in the pocket of the undercity ruler- who better to help out a mouse down on their luck than the boss of the city? Candy mentioned hard times, and now shes working with drugs! In the North side of town ! Just be on your best behavior and don't let your guard down!

I support these.

We should trust our cousin, because she helps people.

Physical therapy, ask if she can talk about some of her clients. No names of course, just what ails them and how she's treating them.

Ask how one goes about obtaining employment in the exciting fields of hands on physical therapy and pharmaceutical distribution. Did she have to go to school?

Day one in the city and we've already met two drug dealers, a working gal, and a smuggler. And we've only met two people!

>>728154

>>728176
This.

Let Olly know that you have to go to the north side of town through text and send some worried emoji.

Ask Candy how long she has been seeing this someone.

It's pretty.

You have acquired Candy's Business Card.

>>732486
Ohhh, she was talking her job up but not THAT far up. Massage parlors can be legit, and it makes sense for her to dress like that if she's running one. Bring them in with a bit of skin, but you don't have to give them the skin.

So yeah, your cousin is gonna be fine to hang out with. She must not be in a bad part of the bad part of town.

Tell her about the snake you met on the train!

Maybe you can become a professional too? I mean, she did it in a relatively short time since she left!

You'll think about it. For now, time to hit the bed.

It appears to be light out. I say city hall.

When you're done complementing your cousin success, and getting anxious by your comparative lack of, change the subject to something else.
It would be nice to know what she does for fun. Maybe ask for advice on differentiating the gender of reptiles.

Molly, do you even know what you'd LIKE to do professionally yet? You can't compare yourself to others until you at least know what you want to do.

It's ok Molly, everyone develops at their own pace. It doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else.
Ask what made her decide to go to the city! How did she feel?

>>732486
...boy, did we take that in the wrong direction.

Well, neat! Massage parlors can be nice- easy to work out the kinks.

And...well, okay, maybe she lives on the border of the bad part of town. Thinking about it, I was in a similar situation for a while where I was living in an apartment in a kind of 'no-man's land' between the ghetto and decent middle-class.

So, what do you figure you two will be doing for fun? Big place like this, you're probably gonna have to decide where to go in advance.

This, mostly. Seems like that was a stupid idea.

Go up to the building, and knock on the town hall door, like any polite city person obviously would.

Tell her to headbutt you back! It's only fair that she gets to do it to you!

See this is why you don't headbutt people, all it does is make them angry, to get out of awkward situations you need to make everybody else feel as awkward as you so you need to do something to confuse or disorientate them.
Keep this in mind as you enter the building then go and disembowel the first person you come across, this will leave everyone feeling as awkward as you are normally do.
