idolpro | Yvette's super fun spy simulator: Session I

Objective: Convince Yvette to leave the Ideal World.
The following is ICly known:

Unit abilities are off :)
Yvette is actively trying to sabotage players
One tactic is making interaction "pay for play," using memories, specifically those of Yvette. (max 5)
After 5 memories have been exhausted, false memories will be implanted
Planted memories will not be accepted as Payment.
Alternate Payment is negotiable, but the player will lose whatever they give her
Use of force is highly inadvisable, and the condition for success is extremely low. Failure will result in a false memory.
Your smartphone works, and can be used to document inconsistencies in the Ideal World.

tl;dr The more evidence you collect, the more convincing you are; memories can be used to unlock certain things, but if they run low, you get mindfucked (probably).
All things lost or received during the game will be reversed upon waking or within one IC day, at player’s discretion. The character does not know this ICly.

No rest for the wicked, huh?

"I wouldn't say that, but they do call this place Sin City. Can I get something started for you?"

...Sin City.

[That's rather on the nose.]

Got anything light?

"Of course I do, but bear in mind, they don't come free."

Oh?

[...Checking his pockets. Also, does he get his usual outfit/stuff he keeps on him, or...]

A check of his pockets reveals that he only has his smartphone. There is the sense that payment will have to come in the form of memories or knowledge.

[Welp.]

Maybe I'll pass on the drink.

"I see. Very well. Feel free to stay as long as you'd like."

Is there anything else to do here?

"Here, specifically? Just the drinking and entertainment. Was there anything you were interested in?"

A chance to talk with you would be nice.

"I suppose that's free. What did you want to talk about?"

What do you like about working here? Have you met anyone interesting on the job lately?

"The work here is consistent and challenging. The people are interesting."

Did you get any names, or can you describe any of them?

She pauses, unable to respond.

"...I think we're getting off topic."

...If there's no one who comes to mind immediately in a place like this, it sounds like a pretty boring job, actually.

Are you sure you're suited to this place? Or... are you sure you want to be?

"I love working here. I couldn't imagine leaving."

Tell me something distinct that you truly love about this place, then. Right now, I'm not exactly convinced.

"I get to work as much as I like."

...If working is all you're interested in, aren't there other, better places you could do that? No offense, but this place is full of some pretty awful stench.

[What with the cloud of cigarette smoke.]

"That comes with the job. And the hours."

...There's really nothing else you'd rather do? No in in particular you'd rather be with?

She pauses to think about that.

"No, I don't believe so."

[He leans over the bar, arms crossed on the surface.]

You don't sound so sure of yourself... Come on. There's got to be someone you can remember. Someone you enjoyed being around, even outside of your work.

You really can't think of anyone, not a single person, who made an impression like that?
