You hear the water being turned off and the sound of dishes clinking together. 142 Logic: The tenant must be cleaning up. That means you're too late. Nothing more to do here, better report back to Evrart. 5->142 6 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["TASK.open_gary_door_cancelled"] 7 Variable["TASK.open_gary_door_cancelled"] 6->7 8 !(Variable["TASK.open_gary_door_cancelled"]) 6->8 145 Door, Basement Apartment: As you turn to leave, you hear footsteps on the other side -- yes, someone's definitely home. 8->145 9 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 169 garydoormainhub 9->169 10 Logic: There *might* be important information in the apartment... I mean... there *might*... 54 Shivers: As you hold the opened door you can feel the air moving. A little draft. A whistle... 10->54 11 Kim Kitsuragi: CheckItem("key_basement_apartment") 12 CheckItem("key_basement_apartment") 11->12 13 !(CheckItem("key_basement_apartment")) 11->13 12->169 41 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 13->41 14 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["coast.gary_apartment"] 15 Variable["coast.gary_apartment"] 14->15 16 !(Variable["coast.gary_apartment"]) 14->16 136 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["backyard.gary_apartment_entered"] 15->136 146 Door, Basement Apartment: This must be it. The basement door is weather-worn. The copper nails holding the upholstery in place have turned green from sea air and there's a knocker, shaped like a lion's head. 16->146 17 Physical Instrument: Good job. Let's go now. I'm sure there's *nothing* interesting in there. 39 Interfacing: There's *nothing* else to do than leave and tell Evrart. No *conceivable* reason for you to intrude on the premises. 17->39 18 Kim Kitsuragi: "It is," the lieutenant remarks. "However, we should definitely get the key from this 'Mañana' Evrart mentioned. That would drastically increase our credibility." 87 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 18->87 19 You: Press your ear against the door. 120 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"] 19->120 20 You: Use Mañana's key to unlock the door. 141 Door, Basement Apartment: You try to be as silent as you can. It takes a bit of rattling of the handle to loosen the bolt. 20->141 21 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 22 IsKimHere() 21->22 23 !(IsKimHere()) 21->23 163 Kim Kitsuragi: "I guess no one is in." The lieutenant looks uncomfortable. 22->163 118 Inland Empire: You feel eyes on you, watching you from the windows overlooking the yard. 23->118 24 Inland Empire: Only *curiosity* could account for stepping over that threshold. Maybe there's treasure in there? A white alligator? A fountain of quicksilver? 24->10 25 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant merely nods in response. 119 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 25->119 26 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] 27 Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] 26->27 28 !(Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"]) 26->28 74 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yes, presenting a fabrication is known to get results here and there." He crosses his arms. "You took this task. You make the call." 27->74 28->18 29 Door, Basement Apartment: The door has braved the elements for decades. The copper nails holding the upholstery in place have turned green from sea air and so is the knocker, shaped like a lion's head. 67 Endurance: The Royal Lion. Guillaume's Kitten. This knocker will last a lifetime and then some. 29->67 30 Door, Basement Apartment: The key stops mid-way in the lock. Something's blocking its path. You hear a dish smashing and shattering inside the apartment, then everything falls very silent. 64 Interfacing: The tenant's key is in the lock. 30->64 31 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 32 IsKimHere() 31->32 33 !(IsKimHere()) 31->33 105 Kim Kitsuragi: "That already defeats the point, doesn't it?" The lieutenant glances at the surrounding windows. "Let's get out of here." 32->105 65 Door, Basement Apartment: No answer. 33->65 34 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 35 IsKimHere() 34->35 36 !(IsKimHere()) 34->36 106 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant looks first at the door, then back at you, then signals you to back off from the door. 35->106 160 Half Light: You should leave. Leave! Before anything happens... 36->160 37 Perception (Hearing): You hear someone inside, walking from room to room... whoever lives here must be back home. 38 Kim Kitsuragi: "That's probably the door Evrart mentioned. We still need to get the key from this Mañana first though." 39->24 40 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 40->169 42 IsKimHere() 41->42 43 !(IsKimHere()) 41->43 42->38 99 Door, Basement Apartment: This must be the door Evrart mentioned. You still need to get the key from Mañana first though. 43->99 44 You: Carefully knock. 134 Door, Basement Apartment: You knock silently. The upholstery muffles the sound. No response comes from the apartment. 44->134 45 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["pier.joyce_said_there_will_be_a_tribunal"] 46 Variable["pier.joyce_said_there_will_be_a_tribunal"] 45->46 47 !(Variable["pier.joyce_said_there_will_be_a_tribunal"]) 45->47 148 Kim Kitsuragi: "If the merc tribunal happens before we solve this..." His eyes meet yours. "We're looking at casualties. What's one unlocked door compared to that?" 46->148 139 Kim Kitsuragi: "I mind that a local thug is using the RCM for his busywork, but if this gets us to the bottom of this hanging then I'm willing to look over it." 47->139 48 Kim Kitsuragi: CheckItem("key_basement_apartment") 49 CheckItem("key_basement_apartment") 48->49 50 !(CheckItem("key_basement_apartment")) 48->50 112 garry is home 49->112 126 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 50->126 51 Door, Basement Apartment: This must be the door Evrart mentioned. You still need to get the key from Mañana first though. 53 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 53->169 55 Perception (Hearing): In fact, it's oddly silent in the yard around you. No birds chirp. 55->53 56 Interfacing: The door is right here. You can just open it and be done with this. 164 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["cargo.evrart_interfacing_open_and_be_done"] 56->164 57 Door, Basement Apartment: The door to the 'Weasel's' Den', guarded by the lionhead-knocker. Both have seen better days. 57->169 58 You: Use Mañana's key to unlock the door. 156 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"] 58->156 59 Jump to: [garry is home] 59->112 60 Jump to: [garry is home] 60->112 61 Door, Basement Apartment: The door to cryptofascist's shabby apartment. It has been locked again. 61->169 62 Kim Kitsuragi: "Let's be honest, this isn't what I joined the RCM for. But -- every day tells you something new about yourself..." the lieutenant replies, still inspecting the padded door. 85 Kim Kitsuragi: "Apparently, working with the local Union boss to get info on an investigation is not something I'm squeamish about." 62->85 63 Perception (Hearing): A plate, glass or a mug. 167 Door, Basement Apartment: Then a running tap is turned off and the complete absence of sounds feels... tense. 63->167 64->34 69 Jump to: [garry is home] 65->69 66 Door, Basement Apartment: Finally, the door unlocks with a small clack. Thoughts race through your head... 162 Perception (Hearing): The sound of the key turning still echoes in the yard. Hopefully no one heard. 66->162 67->48 68 Door, Basement Apartment: Not a sound. The silence is eerie. 155 Inland Empire: Even the darkness is holding it's breath inside the apartment. 68->155 69->112 70 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["cargo.evrart_kim_expresses_understanding_worknig_with_evrart_is_necessarry"] 71 Variable["cargo.evrart_kim_expresses_understanding_worknig_with_evrart_is_necessarry"] 70->71 72 !(Variable["cargo.evrart_kim_expresses_understanding_worknig_with_evrart_is_necessarry"]) 70->72 147 Kim Kitsuragi: "As I already said," the lieutenant replies, adjusting his glasses. "I understand this can't be avoided." 71->147 72->62 73 Suggestion: Well buddy, you opened it. No need to go inside. It would be *rude*. 73->17 74->56 75 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana"] 76 Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana"] 75->76 77 !(Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana"]) 75->77 95 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] 76->95 140 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 77->140 79 Variable["cargo.garrydoor_hub_reached"] 78->79 80 !(Variable["cargo.garrydoor_hub_reached"]) 78->80 79->57 80->14 81 Door, Basement Apartment: The door is closed again. Nothing to do here anymore. 81->37 82 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["apt.master_investigator_doors_opened"] >=3 83 Variable["apt.master_investigator_doors_opened"] >=3 82->83 84 !(Variable["apt.master_investigator_doors_opened"] >=3) 82->84 133 Kim Kitsuragi: SetVariableValue("character.trigger_master_investigator_thought", true) --[[ Variable[ ]] 83->133 84->66 130 Untitled hub 85->130 86 Savoir Faire: You're *pretty* sure the owner of the apartment isn't here. It's safe-ish. 86->9 87->169 88 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"] 89 Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"] 88->89 90 !(Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"]) 88->90 168 Door, Basement Apartment: No answer. 89->168 143 Door, Basement Apartment: Something hits the ground and shatters inside the apartment. 90->143 91 Door, Basement Apartment: The door is slick with rain. You don't hear any movement inside. 91->55 92 Jump to: [garydoormainhub] 92->169 93 Drama: I don't know... you're a *pretty* good liar. Are you as good an *infiltrator* as you are a liar? 93->92 94 Inland Empire: Besides, if you never open it, you're never gonna find out, what's *behind* the door. 94->93 96 Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] 95->96 97 !(Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"]) 95->97 96->25 150 Kim Kitsuragi: "But we do need to get the key from this 'Mañana' Evrart mentioned." The lieutenant glances at the door. "Cause we are *not* gonna break the lock." 97->150 98 Jump to: [garry is home] 98->112 100 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["auto.is_raining"] 101 Variable["auto.is_raining"] 100->101 102 !(Variable["auto.is_raining"]) 100->102 101->91 116 Door, Basement Apartment: The leather upholstery is worn and rough against your jaw. You don't hear any movement. 102->116 103 You: [Leave.] 103->6 104 You: "I know you're in there!" 104->31 105->69 106->59 108 Variable["cargo.garrydoor_broke_into"] 107->108 109 !(Variable["cargo.garrydoor_broke_into"]) 107->109 108->81 109->29 110 Kim Kitsuragi: "That's probably the door Evrart mentioned. We still need to get the key from this Mañana first though." 111 You: "So you don't mind if I unlock the door?" 111->45 112->19 112->58 112->103 112->104 154 You: Knock on the door. 112->154 113 Door, Basement Apartment: The key stops mid-way in the lock. Something's blocking its path. Not a sound is coming from the apartment. 113->64 114 Kim Kitsuragi: "We should leave," the lieutenant whispers, "and go talk with Evrart, tell him what happened -- that we couldn't open the door. Maybe there's a workaround." 115 You: Press your ear against the door. 115->100 116->55 117 Endurance: The Royal Lion. Guillaume's Kitten. This knocker will last a lifetime and then some. 117->11 118->86 119->169 121 Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"] 120->121 122 !(Variable["yard.garrydoor_knocked_or_tried_key"]) 120->122 121->68 122->5 123 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 124 IsKimHere() 123->124 125 !(IsKimHere()) 123->125 124->114 159 Logic: Maybe it's a good thing you didn't get to open this stranger's door? Go talk with Evrart, tell him what happened. 125->159 127 IsKimHere() 126->127 128 !(IsKimHere()) 126->128 127->110 128->51 129 You: "Lieutenant, what is your opinion of this task we're undertaking?" 129->70 130->111 135 You: "Got it!" 130->135 131 Kim Kitsuragi: "On the other hand..." He looks at the surrounding windows uncomfortably. "We *could* just leave and tell Evrart we opened the door. No one seems to be tailing us to see if we actually did it." 149 You: "Lie to Evrart? That's also an option?" 131->149 132 Jump to: [garry is home] 132->112 133->66 134->21 135->75 137 Variable["backyard.gary_apartment_entered"] 136->137 138 !(Variable["backyard.gary_apartment_entered"]) 136->138 137->61 138->146 139->131 140->169 141->82 142->132 143->63 144 Logic: You're too late -- the weasel's already back in its den.
