interview
77. Kirsh the Larvitar

hi excuse me have you seen anything unusual that might have to do with the stalkers?

You find Kirsh the Larvitar as he prepares to head toward the medical center to begin work. He keeps a leather surgical/medical bag with him at all times. You introduce yourself to the green, rock-skinned Pokémon and he smiles back at you.

"Hi Felix, something I can do for you?" he asks you.

You ask him about if he's seen something unusual that might be Stalker-related. He nods in acknowledgment that it's a difficult problem that has had all of Silvercoal City greatly affected by it, but he tries to think back to other things he's recalled.

"I'm often attending seminars and training programs at both the Rhombus Labs and the Calstone Medical Offices," he tells you, looking away a bit as he recalls his memories. "There's been some strange things going on there. Like for example, I was attending a neural surgery seminar at Rhombus on the 25th floor. They were explaining a new surgical technology called AnoTan and what we could expect from it after successful prototype testing. I had volunteered to attend the seminar because I'm always trying to be the best surgeon I can and new technology usually helps. Well, after the seminar concluded, I just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee from the break room. So I get my coffee, put some sugar in, and then went to the fridge to use the creamer." His face then starts to look a bit doubtful. "When I looked inside, I saw there was a severed eye in a medical preservation bag. That is definitely not the place for that kind of thing. I even looked at it and it looked like a perfectly healthy eye with no trace of disease or infection, which means someone amputated that for no good reason and stuffed it in a food fridge to hide it when it should have been put in a medical refrigeration container. That's a serious Class 17A medical violation right there. That's something a reckless Stalker would do, not a serious medical professional."

He then recalls another memory.

"I also work at Calstone sometimes," Kirsh tells you. "Only once every two weeks for very specialized surgeries when no one else on call is available, but I've been there a few times. Something strange is going on around there too. I was on the fourteenth floor for a surgical consultation and I found someone left a J82 Lab card key just laying around on the lab bench, totally unattended and out in the open. That place is so highly restricted that I know for a fact that if whoever left that there got caught, they would get fired in a heartbeat. I was so tempted to take it and report it to security, but I began to think maybe it was just a really bad accident. I decided to just leave it and hope whoever had left it there quickly picked it back up and learned from their mistakes without blowing down their whole career. But then again, I'm not so sure. I haven't been over there since that happened."

He accidentally kicks over his medical bag, and you see what looks like a crystal blue orb roll out of the bag and a few feet away from him. He suddenly becomes alert and quickly retrieves the otherworldly celestial orb before you really get a chance to look into it more.

"Heh, sorry about that," Kirsh tells you with a slightly bashful smile as he puts it back into his bag. "It's... kind of a secret hobby of mine. I'm still trying to figure what it is and... well, you're probably not into that kind of thing anyway."

He nods to you and then looks toward the medical center.

"Well, I've got to go," he tells you with a smile. "I've got to prep the operating room and that's quite a process in itself. Hope to see you again, hopefully not in the operating room, of course."

He then heads off and walks briskly toward the medical center.

Muj said that he's from out of town and it sounds like he enjoys to drink so I bet he's staying at the tavern. I wouldn't be surprised if he had left his other boot there and just forgotten about it...

{Search: (69) Kinny's Tavern}

From the outside, Kinny's Tavern, owned by Kinny the Raticate, is definitely a rowdy, wild, and disruptive kind of place. It looks like it's known to attract a particular unruly crowd of Pokémon and they all go home intoxicated... if they even make it home and don't sleep in a warm puddle of beer instead.

The outside isn't in too bad of a shape for a bar. The walls have some graffiti and there is some trash laying about, but it's nothing too extreme. While searching around the back of the building toward one of the more shadowy parts of the building, you find something that seems unusual. It looks like a claw with a bloodstain on it wedged between the ground and a small alcove at the bottom of the wall, which at first, you begin to think it's a Pokémon's claw and it was ripped off in a vicious bar fight. However, upon a closer look, it seems to be made of stone instead.

*SNAP*

You hear something activate with a snap and a click and you quickly back away just before a sudden poison-barbed metal rod swings at the very area you were standing at. It slams into the back of the stone wall, still glistening with poison, but you realize you were just barely able to slip out of the way.

You decide to take the claw with you. It seems someone was trying to hide it here and keep it protected in case someone thought of taking it.

Item [Claw of Blood] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You then search the inside of the tavern. During the day, there's not too much going on. Drinks are still served, but there's not much of a crowd yet and there's just casual conversation and not any rowdy nightlife antics going on. The interior of the bar is mainly wood with lot of grunge-themed paraphernalia on the walls. Covers to metal band album, pieces of hoverbikes, license plates, and the like make up the decor. Meanwhile, countless neon signs for beer brands and other alcoholic beverages are along the walls and windows. The wooden and metal chairs and stools are in okay condition, but you wonder if that's because they need to be replaced quite often from then being used as improvised weapons.

Overall, you don't find anything suspicious inside the bar. You have a funny feeling Kinny didn't even know about the claw in the back. She doesn't seem like the type that would and know how to engineer such a thing as you watch her manning the barkeep area.

Once you've seen enough, you head back to base with your findings.
