"The theatre? That's closed" a pizza delivery guy tells Sylvi as she stares at the building. He's obviously heading to a nearby office or something

"For a long time? Or just since last year?"

"I was on the ropes , then Covid delivered the killing blow. Shame.. some fun crew here"

"Huh. Listen, I know you're in the middle of work, but do you know how I could get in touch with one of them?"

"Yeah, I deliver to one of them" He says

"Uhm.. this isn't some stalker thing or anything is it?"

She gives her best cheer smile. "I know, weird, right? But no, seriously, I'm just really interested in, like, cultural stuff around here. I'm new, and it's not exactly the best time to try to get to know a place." An easy shrug.

"So...sorry, I don't know your name?"

"Oh, Skylar. " He says "Name's Skylar. Hold onn.." He breaks out his phone and gives her the contact info ..Sullivan?

"Thanks, Skylar. I'm Sylvia. All S's around here, I guess," she laughs a bit. "So, Sullivan is one of the theater people? Cool."

Verifying to make sure she's not just getting his contact info, under a last name.

"Yup! loved it like kittens" He says "Look I'd talk more about Sullivan but I gotta drop this off"

"Yeah, totally, sorry!" She steps back to end the conversation. "Thanks again!"

"No problem!" he waves and walks off

She makes sure she has the info carefully saved, and then takes another long look at the theater. And what the heck, kenns it, too.

It ..hey, there's glamour in there.. not freehold glamour but glamour of some sort

It's boarded up, closed, but it's got glamour

She's kinda tempted to poke around and see if she can get in right now. Buuuuuuut...that wouldn't be the best way to start off on the right foot with these people. Still, it's tempting.

Yup. But she has a contact so.. mmm

Contact first. Explorations later. Besides, it's not like she's going anywhere in the near future.

Yup. She's getting a feel for her home. When in Rome... New York that is.
