I don't think I should propose this just yet, but I think that I've got a great name for us,
Also name calling as many capes as we can get away with would be funny.
[?][Name] I need a name too I think you can call me, Snail, oh you already have a Gregor the Snail?
-[?] The slug doesn't sound as good.
-[?] How about Sphere, as in I like to eat myself round, oh that sounds bad.
-[?] What about Mush then, because I turn things Mushy as I eat it.
-[?] Maybe a play on my colors, Fluor the Slime? Fluer, alright that seems rude, let's not?
-[?] Combine the colors blue and green, Grue?
--[?][Name] Cooking equipment then; The Cauldron, because you can cook a lot in that.
[X]You cannot just agree to work for someone without them telling you what they actually do.
-[X] Ask this Lady for her name and find out what she expects you to do in her employ.

-[X] Comment that she's a lot more polite and upfront about her intentions than that red-suited fellow you met earlier, he was pushy, purposefully obtuse and worst of all, rude.

"Before that. Why don't you tell me what you actually do?"
She flinches in surprised and it seems like she is trying to pinch her nose but realized that she have a mask as she put her hand down on the table once again.
"That's fair." She still sounds so confident. "We basically do everything, unless it involves murdering someone. This includes robbing, kidnapping, smuggling, and many other things. If we are going to fight someone, we would prefer an advance payment before moving forward to it. Does that answer you question?"
Hm? I still feel that she is hiding something...
"Oh. And if you are still not convinced, then we are also looking for the ones responsible for Case 53s."
... Oh.
"... I think that answers it?" I said while feeling unsure.
"Excellent." She stared at me for a bit before putting her fist to her palm in some sort of realization. "Wait, you still look unsure about it. It's fine if you refuse. We won't force you."
"So why me?"
The woman took a moment to think about it before answering me slowly. "You look like you need a place to stay. I can't really just leave you alone when I heard that you've been scavenging dumps. I still have my conscience."
"That's all?"
She nodded at me. It seems like she is sincere.
"Then why not shelter me?"
"Look. We are still a business establishment. If we kept taking in Case 53s, we will quickly go bankrupt. We still need some safety net to support ourselves."
That's understandable.
Though hearing about that, she is implying that there are a lot of Case 53s out there.
"But why mercenary work?" I'm still curious about that.
"It pays well." She coughed when I directed a suspicious look at her. "It also gives us a lot of leeway when looking for information about the Case 53s."
"... Okay...?"
"Look. I can see that you are so confused right now. Why don't you get a bite down there and take a rest. We'll talk when you are ready."
"Wait. So your telling me I can stay?"
"Only for this day." She quickly replied.
"Yay! Thank you!"
I wanted to hug her in excitement, but decided against it because of my acidic nature.
"There is no need for that. If you are going to thank someone, thank him. He is the one who brings you here." The woman said.
"Thank you, orange guy!"
"It's Newter, and it's a pleasure." He gave me thumbs up.
"Well then, you seem to be going to stay here for a bit, and I just noticed that I haven't introduced myself." I heard the woman said before standing up. It seems like she wanted to present her hand at me but seeing that I am still acidic despite being colorless, she retracts her hand. "You may call me Faultline. I am the leader of our group." After getting some meal on the first floor, I thought about what I should do next.
Newter is just besides me and eyeing some women dancing. There are others who are also dancing along with them, and some who are just flirting on the side. I can also see some people drinking.
Yep... it's a nightclub alright...
"So what do you think? It's cool right?"
Newter is... okay I guess? He seems to be a chill dude...
Now, if he will stop ogling girls, I will have a high opinion of him!
"It's good I think. Though the meal here are not as delicious as the monster truck, or the ones from Fugly's."
"Wait. You eat at Fugly's!?" He seems to be horrified at that place. I wonder why?
"Yeah. Their food are full of nutrients. I feel more nourished than these bar foods..."
"Hey! It's not bar food, those are the classy ones!"
"Still bar food."
Hah! I won't stand down for that! It's a fact and I know it!
While I was talking to him, I can see someone walking closer to us. Squinting some of my vision on his way, I saw that it was a large guy in a hunched position. He is pretty wide, and honestly a bit gross to look at.
Though saying that will just make me a hypocrite. I am also a moving blob of acid who eats dumps and dirt, and also air if I try to include everything I tasted. So I have no right to even call him gross.
"Oh, Gregor! What are you doing here?"
Being asked by the orange guy, the man now named as Gregor looks at him with a polite bow. "Actually, I am curious about her." He explained.
"Oh. This one is.... wait, we forgot to ask you about that!" It seems like he just noticed that. "What do you want us to call you? Slime Girl? Sexy Acid?"
Uh... I don't like the latter one. That's just gross!
Hm... I forgot to tell Faultline what to call me. Well, she didn't ask for it so I didn't make something on the spot.
This seems like a fun way to learn about endbringers and slaughterhouse 9 I.C, because Sphere has been corrupted by the Simurgh.
[X][Name] I need a name too I think you can call me, Snail, oh you already have a Gregor the Snail?
-[X] How about Sphere, as a joke I like to eat myself round... oh that sounds bad.
--[X][Name] Cooking equipment then; Cauldron.
Ooh i like this one! The pun is cool, it even sounds like something Newt would suggest if he pulls his hed out of the gutter for a change.
Also i feel that Gregor had a lot of his appeal due to the uniqueness of his name. I don't want toruin that with Slimegirl
