(Kobe-Juan)

Seeing that there wasn't much more to be gleaned from Maf Dili's residence, the older gentleman and his disciple exit, and seal the door.

The home address of Wanmi Rufu is quite close by, but it turns out nobody is home. That is quite natural, however, and so the pair head off to the Leburee Rotisserie.

They find Wanmi on shift, but manage to obtain a few minutes of her time.

"Did you find Maf? No? Ah..." She looks disappointed when told that the investigation is ongoing, but is able to answer Kobe-Juan's questions about Jorfi.

"Yeah, Maf has told me about Jorfi. I remember she said he was a schoolteacher in the neighboring county, and that they were going to get together when Maf passes the Imperial exams. Sometimes Maf asks me for advice when writing letters to him, so I remember his address was Skylark Way, Mastimo Town, Traki County."

(Osein)

The man in the funny hat takes the cash he is offered, and hands Osein a stack of chips equalling to 200 ounces in value.

"Sorry, but we do not extend credit to new customers. You must spend at least 1000 ounces at our establishment to receive our credit services."

As per Osein's request to play with the regulars, the man points Osein to one of the tables in the back.

There's five men at the table, including the dealer, and they seem to be casually playing some sort of card game. One of them, a tall lanky man, whistles when he sees Osein come to the table.

"A new face! Hope you know how to play, it'd be no fun if you can't even last an hour. Well, since you're the newcomer, how bout we go easy on you and let you pick the game to play?"

The rest of the men at the table seem to laugh in agreement. Osein sees that the table he's at is the standard card table, and that the dealer is currently holding a deck of Reindeer cards, so the most obvious choices would be Reindeer Herding, or King of the Herd.

There are also dice, a set of Tea Sticks, a type of traditional Shorgee gambling implement, and a couple of other items Osein is not immediately familiar with under the table.

(Fu)

The dorm mother thinks for a moment before saying:

"Well she didn't exactly said anything, but she seemed sort of on the edge, and tired these past few days. Her neighbor, Debi Doner, knows Simpette better than me, so maybe you'll have more luck with her."
