DEX MILLER

Dex got in an accident ten years ago and ever since believes he's a real detective. He will be seen around the city striking poses, as if he's a detective in a noir film, and doing typical noir film detective things like drinking whiskey in bars late at night and complaining about his cases that aren't real. Confronting him about these things will only worsen the condition.

• Create a topic in Orchidia Streets.
• Dex specified to meet him at a coffee shop, and when you locate it, you will see him sipping away at some coffee, musing about life.
• When you greet him, he will do a brief inspection of you to see if you are suspicious, and he confirms to himself that you are actually the mage who took the request.
• When he finishes his coffee, he asks you to follow him along in his current investigation of a murder.
• As you get into some zany antics with his cross-examinations of random pedestrians, and ridiculous inspection for clues, it becomes clear that there was no murder that happened.
• You can either indulge in Dex's fantasy with him, acting as a true detective's assistant, or you can try and point out to him that there is nothing out of the ordinary and he is deluding himself. Of course, if you try the second option, he will disregard you and will only become more ridiculous.
• No matter the course of action, at the end of the time you spend, he will pay you the reward, though he will be incredibly disheartened if you spent the whole time telling him he was wrong.
