The Prime Mover smirks, playing along this superhero-themed joke that he himself started "I think it's a bit too late for discretion. Besides, I mean, how crazy would it be if you had this villain that you face nightly, and then you met without your masks on in some neutral place - like, say, a gym - without either of you realizing?" Of course, Shodan couldn't be a part of a world like that. For one thing, he had no taste for wearing underwear over his tights. But it'd be some out of control shit.
"A coffee shop? I had no idea it's the kind of thing that involves excessive movement" If he had to be honest, the images that came to mind were keeping books, making phonecalls and occasional supply runs. But it's not like he's a big, bad business owner "I run solo these days. Used to work for a corp and it was the worst. Turns out I really hate deadlines. And, well, bosses. Funny you should ask, though, because I actually do have a business card. Made them recently - turns out relying on social media marketing might not be the best choice when your clients are mostly digitally illiterate. Who knew, right?" There is a pouch of his nearby, and in that pouch is a wallet, and in that wallet is the card. Shodan holds it out - Sarah can just look at it, or take it if she wishes. He has a couple more of them, just in case the demand to have things fixed is unexpectedly high "What's your shop's name?" Every place needs a computer network and well-oiled machines, right? A cafe is not the most exciting contract he can imagine, but work is work and surprises do happen.
Bridget's response regarding resolutions is a bit underwhelming, though perhaps not surprising - she has that down to earth appearance of a person who takes it one day at a time. But if you though Shodan is going to give up so easily... You. Were. Wrong.
"That's because people lack resolve. And imagination" He says "I'm not saying I'm a paragon of either - but there are ways. Time frames and keeping your goals simple is one thing, but more importantly, I think you need friends to help you along the way. Plus, the importantest thing of all is to realize that no one but you is in control. That kind of responsibility is scary, but there's no other path to self-improvement" He'd know. Mages are, at their core, control freaks, Obrimoi especially. When you know there are beings and causes bigger than you, how can you relinquish that control?
