Networking in Lux-Pain

Killaware's supernatural adventure game Lux-Pain contains a very mundane real-world gameplay element: cell-phone networking. An important part of the game is collecting "QR cards", which are similar to Japanese meishi (business cards, which are also used outside of business), but transmitted via QR code. The QR card contains the character's e-mail address and a short message. These QR cards have become a fad in the game's world, and provide an interesting method of collecting information that fits into the game's storyline.

Lux-Pain is a game, and thus acquiring these QR cards is not as simple as just asking for them. By responding appropriately to questions, you must ensure that the interlocutor in your conversation likes your character.
