As Kumojacky passes by a nondescript real estate office, two paces ahead of him the door swings violently open as a young man is bodily ejected onto the street.
A woman with sharp features and lavender hair appears in the doorway. She shouts down at the man on the pavement: "You are an unmitigated idiot, but there are two things you deserve to know. First, you're fired. Your severance will be sent to your mailing address. Second, 'condo' is an abbreviation for condominium, a type of real property, not those things you carry in your wallet!"
Kumojacky looks at the man on the ground, who is tall and at least fit, though not particularly muscular. Looking at the woman, Kumojacky judges that she must be stronger than she looks to have thrown a man of that size so forcefully, while at the same time being dressed in high heels and a suit.
A grin spreads across Kumojacky's face. He looks up at the woman, saying: "Lady, your violence impresses me. Would you care for a test of strength? Or possibly dinner?"
Arachnea raises an eyebrow. "Perhaps."
