The Almshouse would turn him down..." 60 Kim Kitsuragi: "They don't do charity for people who're trying to kill themselves. Besides, he'll be dead in a few..." The lieutenant stops, listening to him. 6->60 7 Cuno's Dad: The pile of blankets grunts miserably. 105 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 7->105 8 Half Light: There's still plenty to be scared of here. Just not what you thought. 25 Untitled hub 8->25 9 Half Light: It doesn't give a shit that you're a cop! Stop your hand now or you're gonna die! 127 Inland Empire: It's not too late, no one's going to blame you for backing out. You don't have to do this. Just get out. 9->127 10 Untitled hub (03) 44 You: Slowly reach out your hand. 10->44 51 You: Nothing to see here then. [Leave.] 10->51 131 You: "Hold up, lieutenant.

A hand emerges from the blankets, trying to gesticulate something... 12->34 66 Perception (Hearing): The man groans once again, but his tongue keeps failing him: It's impossible to make out the syllables. A hand emerges from the blankets, trying to gesticulate something... 13->66 14 Kim Kitsuragi: "I'm afraid it is. Look, it *moves*." He points to a fleshy lump sticking out from the other end of the blanket. The limb seems to be twitching from time to time. 123 Perception (Sight): And look, the other foot is camouflaged by a striped sock bearing the name MAXTOR on the sole. Three toes are poking out of a hole. 14->123 15 You: "This is serious damage, I'm still not sure he's not dead." 101 Cuno's Dad: "Fuckn... k... f...pi..." Suddenly the man starts growling. Three words manage to escape his mouth, along with a strong stench of alcohol. 15->101 16 Electrochemistry: He wouldn't be too thrilled to learn you stole his stash. It was the last thing keeping him functional. 40 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 16->40 17 You: "Doesn't look like you're going to fuck anyone up any time soon, little man." 130 Cuno's Dad: No response. A pair of half-open bug eyes is staring back at you from the dark, empty and frozen. It's clear that the person behind them is not awake. 17->130 18 Untitled hub 85 You: Fuck this, I'm out. [Leave.] 18->85 92 You: Keep extending your hand towards the pile. 18->92 19 Variable["yard.cuno_tried_drunk_hug_cuno"] 20 Variable["yard.cuno_tried_drunk_hug_cuno"] 19->20 21 !(Variable["yard.cuno_tried_drunk_hug_cuno"]) 19->21 112 Visual Calculus: Don't forget his face: the bloated and reddened cheeks, the bulbous nose... This would be Cuno after 30 years of substance abuse, if he drank too. 20->112 75 Visual Calculus: Don't forget his face: the bloated and reddened cheeks, the bulbous nose... This would be Cuno after 30 years of alcohol and substance abuse. 21->75 22 Kim Kitsuragi: "What is there to do? We could turn him on his side, so he doesn't choke on his own vomit. But he's already on his side..." 74 You: "Poor guy." 22->74 96 You: "Excellent form." 22->96 108 You: Nod. 22->108 23 Cuno's Dad: Suddenly the man starts growling. Three words manage to escape his mouth, along with a strong stench of alcohol: 'Fucking... kipt... f****ts...' 52 Shivers: Somewhere, just out of earshot, a glass bottle explodes. A man's voice shouts "You fucking kids!" And then the screech of sneakers pounding the pavement, a girl's voice yelling "Got him!" and a painfully shrill laugh piercing the air... 23->52 24 You: "Do you need help?" 45 Cuno's Dad: The pile of blankets grunts. It's hard to say if there's anything left you could do. 24->45 25->17 55 You: "I can't believe it, Cuno's dad can't be a loser! It *must* be someone else." 25->55 84 You: "I was expecting something... scarier." 25->84 26 Kim Kitsuragi: "Mhmh..." The lieutenant has covered his nose. 26->44 26->51 27 Rhetoric: ... years? Months? Weeks? 27->7 36 Perception (Hearing): He's trying to call you a pig. 28->36 29 A Pile of Clothes: A bundle of clothes heaped on the bed. A stained parka, some towels and a duvet. Some socks even. 111 Perception (Sight): In the dark it looks like a nest. 29->111 30 Half Light: The bear is trying to wake up! 128 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 30->128 31 Variable["yard.cuno_told_violent_dad_has_drugs_home_address"] 32 Variable["yard.cuno_told_violent_dad_has_drugs_home_address"] 31->32 33 !(Variable["yard.cuno_told_violent_dad_has_drugs_home_address"]) 31->33 32->30 33->128 73 Perception (Hearing): And then it dawns upon you, clear and surreal... 34->73 35 A Pile of Clothes: Your hand touches a greasy duvet, covered in cigarette burns and ketchup stains. You hear a growl. There is something *alive* underneath it. 72 Perception (Hearing): It's deep, in suffering somehow. 35->72 36->63 37 You: "Is this.... Cuno's father we're seeing?" 117 Kim Kitsuragi: "Well, judging by the colour of his hair I would say yes, it is." 37->117 38 Cuno's Dad: Silence... Only heat emanates from the sleeping body. 38->16 39 Kim Kitsuragi: "Look, he's trying to communicate." 125 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 39->125 61 cuno's dad hub 40->61 41 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 41->61 42 You: "Kim, is this thing even *alive*?" 42->14 43 You: "Doesn't look like he's going fuck anyone up any time soon." 100 Kim Kitsuragi: "No, it really doesn't." The lieutenant tilts his head. "This looks very hard to recover from." 43->100 103 A Pile of Clothes: Something underneath there is breathing. 44->103 122 Endurance: A coronary artery bypass graft? Take out his liver and replace it with a new one? Somehow undo 20 years of neurological damage from stimulants... 45->122 46 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_viscal_cuno_if_he_drank"] 47 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_viscal_cuno_if_he_drank"] 46->47 48 !(Variable["apt.cuno_dad_viscal_cuno_if_he_drank"]) 46->48 88 Logic: The sight you're beholding right now is probably the reason he doesn't. 47->88 48->8 49 Untitled hub 49->43 99 You: "I was expecting something... worse." 49->99 124 You: "I can't believe it, Cuno's dad isn't a loser! It *must* be someone else." 49->124 50 Kim Kitsuragi: "I think he's still *quite* bad... I mean, what he has come to." The lieutenant tilts his head. 137 Kim Kitsuragi: "This man won't be feeding his family any time soon. Not that he was, but..." The lieutenant thinks to himself. "At least he won't be beating his son." 50->137 97 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 52->97 53 You: "Hey, talk to me! Are you even alive?" 126 Cuno's Dad: A lump of flesh is sticking out from under the blanket. It seems to be twitching from time to time, like the paw of an animal who's having a bad dream. 53->126 54 Pain Threshold: His half-open eyes give him the look of a dead man. But he is in there... and not enjoying himself. 54->23 55->130 56 IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") 57 IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") 56->57 58 !(IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood")) 56->58 132 Rhetoric: A change in the genetic make up wouldn't hurt. Ginger degenerate. 57->132 59 Rhetoric: A change in the socio-economic circumstances wouldn't hurt. 58->59 59->41 60->27 61->24 61->37 61->42 61->53 78 You: Figure out what he's trying to say. 61->78 82 You: "Maybe we should help him somehow?" 61->82 93 You: [Leave.] 61->93 98 You: (Whisper.) "I took your amphetamine, old man." 61->98 129 You: "Hey, are you really Cuno's father?" 61->129 62 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 62->61 83 You: "Fuck you. Die." 63->83 102 You: "What did you just say?!" 63->102 104 You: "You're awake... He's awake!" "You're awake!" 63->104 64 Pain Threshold: His half-open eyes give him the look of a dead man. But he is in there... and not enjoying himself. 64->15 77 You: "He's gonna sleep it off, I know this shit." 64->77 94 You: "Hold on, what happened to his eyes?" 64->94 109 Cuno's Dad: And then falls back again, limp and defeated by sleep. A loud snore escapes his mouth. 66->109 67 Cuno's Dad: His hand falls back on the bed, limp and defeated. A loud snore escapes his mouth... He's asleep again. 68 IsKimHere() 67->68 69 IsKimHere() 68->69 70 !(IsKimHere()) 68->70 91 Kim Kitsuragi: "At least he got to say his piece." 69->91 70->62 71 Cuno's Dad: The light from the window is weak, but it seems like he is. His wild, unwashed mane bears a familiar ginger tone. Even the hair on his chest is coppery. 71->19 72->85 110 You: Pull the blanket off. 72->110 73->2 74->6 75->8 76 Encyclopedia: Nocturnal lagophthalmos. The likelihood of falling asleep with partially open eyelids rises after stimulant use and heavy drinking. 76->54 77->101 79 You: Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_redcheck"] 78->79 80 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_redcheck"] 79->80 81 !(Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_redcheck"]) 79->81 80->11 81->11 82->22 83->67 84->130 86 Encyclopedia: Nocturnal lagophthalmos.

Just not what you thought. 86->87 87->49 88->8 89 Cuno's Dad: A groan rises from the man's throat, dry like a death rattle... He's trying to say something in his sleep. 89->31 90->5 91->62 92->35 95 Kim Kitsuragi: "Can't you tell? It happens to exceptionally *committed* substance abusers. They fall asleep with their eyelids still open. Not a pretty sight." 94->95 95->15 95->77 96->6 97->61 98->38 99->50 100->137 101->39 102->67 103->9 104->67 105->61 106 Jump to: [cuno's dad hub] 106->61 107 Cuno's Dad: The ageing alcoholic is still there, breathing... The air in the room is stale. 107->61 108->6 109->106 121 Cuno's Dad: You see a 60-year-old fat red-headed man passed out from large amounts of alcohol. And god knows what else. The smell of shit rises from his mouth. 110->121 111->10 112->46 113 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_maxtor_socks"] 114 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_maxtor_socks"] 113->114 115 !(Variable["apt.cuno_dad_perc_maxtor_socks"]) 113->115 116 Encyclopedia: Maxtor is a gas company. He's wearing free socks from a gas company. They probably came with the bills. 114->116 115->89 116->89 133 Cuno's Dad: The lieutenant's right -- the man's unwashed hair bears a familiar ginger tone. Even the hair on his chest is coppery. The light from the window falls into his half-open eyes. 117->133 119 Variable["apt.cuno_dad_main_hub_reached"] 118->119 120 !(Variable["apt.cuno_dad_main_hub_reached"]) 118->120 119->107 120->29 136 Cuno's Dad: You don't have to take him down. He's already down. 121->136 122->56 123->113 135 Kim Kitsuragi: "Are you saying a man who looks like Cuno broke into his father's apartment and passed out in his father's bed?" 124->135 125->61 126->123 127->18 128->61 129->71 130->76 131->26 132->41 133->86 134 Cuno's Dad: A pair of half-open bug eyes is staring back at you from the dark, empty and frozen.
