So the barber just told me he'd help me whenever i needed him. But it seems to me someone like the tailor, bank teller, or shoe maker would be much better contacts to have. So will I eventually be able to choose one contact over another or am i stuck with the silly barber?

nevermind, i actually did some reading and answered, well half of my own question. At least about getting one PE contact and one WE contact. I guess 2 PE contacts would make it too easy.

and its late and im an idiot because hair is definately physical evidence, and think, think, think... who might deal with hair. Well aren't I the smart one.

*lol*

As a fellow friend of Octavia's let me tell you that having her as contact isn't half bad as she and Ruby (sends the banker the evil eye) can be the most cantankerous women in NY if you aren't on their list of favourites.

Plus now you'll never have to spend skill points on getting advanced hair analysis!! Basic hair will be all you need to find hairs at the crime scene as she can bother with the rest of the analysis for you :D

Just to give you incentive to purchase advanced hair later on...

when you travel to another city (after you subscribe) you will likely not get the Barber in every city as your contact.

Oh, don't be such a party pooper, Bob ;p

Well it is more fun in London right now, the roses are beginning to bloom and the Apple Orchard outback of Mojo is just stunning in the spring time.

grins,

and to show it can be done is one wants to try here is one of our detectives that did just that, aquired the Barber contact in each city.

Woohoo - now you're talking :D

Congratulations Phileas!! Just a little over 9 months (or was it more like 10?) to get that last one to cave - you must be over the moon with joy :)
- and you'll definitely never need to get advanced hair which you probably still haven't gotten :D

Now I wonder what the odds are that you'll get the Holy Man before I get the stage manager (although I am getting more and more tempted to fall for the thousand blessings the Tea Maker keeps offering me)? ;)
