I have Flirting, Sweet Talk, Interrogation, Rule Bending, Adv. Thread Analysis, and Hair Analysis. I might have another, but I can't remember.
Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I should buy the highest level of Interrogation possible, or if there's another one that can help talk to the people better.

Thanks for the help!:)

Since u are a charmer, get all of your interviewing skills..advanced sweet talk and advanced rule bending. Then of course, all of your basic smart skills. (hair,thread,foot,handwriting). Research would be a GREAT skill to get after you've got your interviewing and smart skills. :)

Hey,

Before you get further into interrogation I'd up your sweet-talking or rule bending if you can afford it -your archetype is smart and charming- get skills to match.

Also -I hope you don't find this too forward, but -err, umm, well....*shuffles foot* I kinda can't help but notice that you are competely naked.

You need to get some gear, sister...an accessorized sleuth is a happy sleuth! Go to the detective store or better yet do favours for townies...after a while you'll be so tricked out in sequined pumps and flapper dresses, no-one will be able to resist you!

Thanks, both of you.
I've been saving my money to buy the $8000 Trench Coat, and I had at least $7000, but then I accidentally bought something I didn't want ofr $6000, and when I sold it back it only went for $2000. Thanks for the advice, though.:)

pfft, mak, are you saying you want me to stop hanging out in the tree outside your window?

*is forced by his y-chromosome to leer at mak's avatar...phones her up and makes breathy noises then runs away giggling*

midnight...that sucks...the buy back values are an unpleasant surprise, I remember. I kinda think that the best way to cover your bod is by doing favours. You get to keep your loot, they cost nothing, and you might get a contact out of it.

lol, I say that as if I didnt save my money to buy a trenchcoat too. Go hypocrisy!

Wait...are you trying to imply that I'm not male? I take a offense at that. Ya wanna fight? I can take you!!! Anyway, lets just assume that all the character peeps start out wearing basic non-detective clothes, kinda like a plainclothes police officer (sorry crunchpatty).

Makensie, your evil twin was the criminal in one of my cases. And she's now locked up MWUHAHAHA anyway Midnight4, first a few charm skills, and then research would help you A LOT. If I was you, I would sell my toughness gear to buy charm gear, but not yet: Only if you get charm stuff from a favor or you buy some should you sell the gear you have, since you have Interrogation.

*prays that Makensie doesn't have pugilism*

Anyway, another thing for Midnight, to clarify what I said above, don't sell the trenchcoat and fedora you already have for charm stuff just yet. Use those two as much as you can until you save up the money for some good charm equipment. We over at the Order Of Socrates have some perfume you might like, and our rivals at the Dies Arcanum Brotherhood have plenty of charm equipment, as well as Circle of Light, Eastern Triads, and the Green Hand for subscribers. But those are expensive; you'll need to save up a bit. For now, stick to favor equipment and detective shop stuff.
