Rappelling would be better, I think. I could observe you more closely, and if you had a memory, it would be easy for me to reach you and help you through it.

[Which she means scientifically, not sentimentally. 'Help you through it', here defined as 'ask you a lot of pointed questions in the hopes of getting the most out of the experience', which Carmen likely realizes.]

Do you have that equipment available? Or rather: do you have any idea on how to use it?

[doitrockapella]

The answer is yes, to both. My guardian would howl if he knew I'd brought it with me to this city, but...well, old habits die hard, and he's not actually the boss of me any longer.

[originallutece]

Then how about we test it tonight? Unless you've other plans.

[doitrockapella]

I think I can be prepared for that by tonight.

Just to be clear, we're going to attempt to deliberately trigger a hallucinomemory out of me with this. Correct? So you'll want to have a video camera on hand, microphones, your own personal recording apparatus...

[originallutece]

Naturally. I think it would be best to set you up with a recording device as well, actually, just so we can be certain to record anything you might say. Beyond that, I'll set up two cameras: one on the roof, watching you go down, and one on the ground, observing you from below. I'll be waiting on the ground as well, and we'll have a two-way link going, so I can speak to you when and if such a memory returns to you.

[doitrockapella]

Like I always say, it's talent and preparation that make things happen.

Let me take care of the preparation. I know I can count on you for the talent.

1/2

[There's a little pause. It's not that she's entirely unused to compliments like that, but she's a rather awful day, and so it's all the more surprising to hear that.

Nice, though, and for the first time today, she smiles.]

[originallutece]

Eight o'clock, then. Do you have a preference on location?

[doitrockapella]

Someplace where neither the police nor the tabloids will catch us, please. Outside of that, I'm perfectly flexible.

[originallutece]

We'll go somewhere in Chata, then. That's the least likely to be observed. We can use one of those privately owned little shops, they tend to close early, so chances of being spotted are low.

[doitrockapella]

I'll need a given amount of height, as well — two or three stories would be better, if we can find a little shop that's tall.

[originallutece]

Leave that to me. I'll be heading out soon anyway; I'll scout out a location and text it to you. I can't imagine I won't find something suitable; we are in a city.

[doitrockapella]

If worst comes to worst, we can use the rooftop of my foundation building. There's no worry about trespassing if I own it, I suppose.
