PLAZA ORB col do ma ma daqua afterthought - 1195

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 4 Inland Empire: Was that -- could it be -- the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua?! No. It's probably just your *imagination* ringing in your ear... 1->4 2 Inland Empire: There it is again! You are about to re-discover a long-lost species! 36 Savoir Faire: Yeah, but how are you going to catch it? 2->36 3 Inland Empire: Keep your ears peeled, then. If the species really has migrated to Martinaise, you're sure to hear it again. 9 Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"] 3->9 22 col_do_ma_ma_hub 4->22 5 You: Probably not. [Discard thought.] 6 You: Is it? Is there a ringing? (Listen more closely.) 28 Inland Empire: There seems to be. An *extremely* high pitched ring. Ultrasonic. Lena said it was very high-pitched, right? It's like something *tickles* your ear. 6->28 7 the_main_stuff 20 You: Listen closely first. 7->20 26 You: "Wait, Kim, do *you* hear a high pitched noise?" 7->26 29 You: Hold very still and hope the bird comes to perch on your shoulder. (Proceed.) 7->29 41 You: Move your head toward the sound. (Proceed.) 7->41 8 Jump to: [the_main_stuff] 8->7 10 Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"] 9->10 11 !(Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"]) 9->11 25 Reaction Speed: That pawnbroker -- Roy -- was into natural sounds too. Maybe you could talk to him. 10->25 12 Inland Empire: Of course he doesn't. He's DEAF. 12->8 13 IsTHCPresent("remote_viewer") 14 IsTHCPresent("remote_viewer") 13->14 15 !(IsTHCPresent("remote_viewer")) 13->15 40 Inland Empire: But you're not a regular animal. You're not even a regular cop. You see -- and hear! -- beyond the veil. 14->40 35 Perception (Hearing): Honestly, your ear isn't hearing a whole lot. The distant hum of the industrial harbour. The traffic. But, admittedly -- there *is* a high pitched noise somewhere there too. But then, isn't there always... 15->35 16 Inland Empire: So it does. It's gone. All that's left for you -- is the disco. 30 Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"] 16->30 17 Variable["canal.roy_necktie_altercation"]  and  CheckEquipped("neck_tie")  and  Variable["whirling.necktie_personified"] 18 Variable["canal.roy_necktie_altercation"]  and  CheckEquipped("neck_tie")  and  Variable["whirling.necktie_personified"] 17->18 19 !(Variable["canal.roy_necktie_altercation"]  and  CheckEquipped("neck_tie")  and  Variable["whirling.necktie_personified"]) 17->19 38 Horrific Necktie: Remember that asshole Roy who wanted you to take me off? He didn't like music, only sounds. What a loser. It's good you're not like him. You and disco will be together forever. 18->38 34 Electrochemistry: Don't be a weirdo like that Roy at the pawnshop who doesn't like music. You don't need *sounds* when you have beats. 19->34 20->2 22->5 22->6 23 Composure: Keep still! It might perch on your shoulder. 24 Physical Instrument: What are you doing? You're a police officer, not a pansy ornithologist. The only birds you should be looking for are healthy women of child-bearing age. 23->24 24->8 39 Kim Kitsuragi: "No. I don't hear the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua -- and neither do you." 26->39 27 You: Go then, leave! Leave like everything else! (Don't.) 27->16 43 Logic: Lena also said that it couldn't be heard by any other animal -- including humans. What you're hearing must just be a regular bird. 28->43 37 Inland Empire: Oh no! The sound -- it's moving away, somewhere over there -- go after it! 29->37 31 Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"] 30->31 32 !(Variable["canal.roy_likes_recording_sounds"]) 30->32 31->17 33 Inland Empire: It must be very close... maybe, just maybe it will come toward you... 33->23 35->7 44 You: Keep listening. 36->44 42 Inland Empire: No... Too late. It's gone... There is no ringing anymore. Just the sound of the streets. 37->42 39->12 40->7 41->37 42->27 45 You: No, come back, please! (Listen more.) 42->45 43->13 44->33 45->3
