Faux Fur Coat

Game flavor: "Wrapped in the plastic pelt of the Party Animal, you assume its form — gyrating and grinning and gurning. If you die in this coat, you'll live forever."

This is one of the stronger jacket-slot pieces you can grab early: +2 to [Grey Matter](/wiki/skills/grey-matter) and +1 to [Cold Read](/wiki/skills/cold-read), with no listed penalty. Grey Matter is the Intellect-cluster generalist that pings on cross-domain reasoning, and Cold Read is the social-perception skill that catches what people are lying about. Together that's a serious Intellect-cluster upgrade in one slot.

The catch: you have to spot it on Carmuna's rack first. The acquisition gates behind a Sensors check. Pass it and you can buy for ☉ 30 or steal — your call on the Relation-cost / Sol-cost trade.

Stealing keeps your wallet intact for the more expensive pants slot ([Leather Trousers](/wiki/items/leather-trousers) at ☉ 55, [Tenebrous Maxi Skirt](/wiki/items/tenebrous-maxi-skirt) at ☉ 43) but burns your standing with Carmuna, who you may want as a sympathetic vendor later. The [Sock Purchase Order](/wiki/items/sock-purchase-order) signed by her implies her store is wired into other threads.

On [Carmuna Pessoa](/wiki/characters/carmuna-pessoa)'s clothing rack in the Bootleg Bazaar of [Quisach](/wiki/locations/quisach). Requires a Sensors check to spot. ☉ 30 to buy, or steal.
