"Maybe someone you know has acted a little different, lately?" 4->35 114 You: "Poor Girl Child Revolution. What have the bourgeois done to you?" 5->114 199 You: "Never mind. Have you just seen or heard anything weird lately?" 5->199 6 Kim Kitsuragi: "I'll keep an eye on him." The lieutenant cuts in faster than you can reply. "Don't worry." 224 Reaction Speed: He's not going to let you make a fool of yourself or the RCM in front of this girl. Not while he's here. 6->224 7 Little Lily: "Good." She hugs Lamby close to her again. 64 Volition: Was it good to lie to a child? Maybe it doesn't matter. It's not your responsibility. 7->64 8 You: ... 65 Volition: ... 8->65 9 Jump to: [Untitled hub (04)] 37 Untitled hub (04) 9->37 10 Little Lily: "Uh huh," she nods. "Mom is great! You know what's great about my mom?" 29 You: "Everything?" 10->29 201 You: "No, do tell me." 10->201 11 Suggestion: You might be able to get on Garte's good side if you replace the broken skua you almost certainly broke? 56 Variable["village.lily_sugg_take_bird"] 11->56 12 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 193 main-hub-lilykid 12->193 13 You: "Rebel?" 131 Little Lily: "Noo-noooo, that's not it." She frowns, looking at her tattered toy. "You know what you are, Lamby." 13->131 14 You: "And where are the gloves now?" 109 Little Lily: She pouts. "I hid them. The twins were going to take them. They're stupid..." She lifts her stuffed toy up and looks into its one remaining eye, as though searching for confirmation. 14->109 15 Empathy: She doesn't want you to think she stole them. 15->14 16 You: "I need those gloves." 204 Little Lily: "Why?" She looks at you suspiciously. 16->204 17 Variable["TASK.ask_little_lily_about_gloves"] 18 Variable["TASK.ask_little_lily_about_gloves"] 17->18 19 !(Variable["TASK.ask_little_lily_about_gloves"]) 17->19 33 FinishTask("TASK.ask_little_lily_about_gloves_done")--[[ Variable[ ]] 18->33 45 FinishTask("TASK.ask_little_girl_in_village_about_gloves_done")--[[ Variable[ ]] 19->45 20 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 20->193 21 You: "Do you know anyone named Ruby?" 222 Little Lily: "Ll... Luby... Rr... R-luuby." Suddenly the girl gets all serious and leans in, as if she's about to tell you a secret. 21->222 22 Half Light: FUCK OFF. 140 Little Lily: Lamby remains silent. The fireplace flickers and cackles. She hugs the doll close to her chest and laughs. 22->140 23 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 223 Untitled hub (02) 23->223 24 You: "No can do. I got a potty mouth till I die." 210 Little Lily: "Nooooo! Don't be bad too!" Her face bunches up in a scowl. 24->210 25 You: I won't swear! I just won't! I'll just go quiet, you watch! 211 Volition: Please, don't make this more difficult for yourself. It's okay to swear. It can be healthy, even. 25->211 26 Little Lily: "Bye!" The girl's large, curious eyes remain fixed on you. 28 You: "What's that?" (Point at the stuffed bird hanging from the ceiling.) 159 Little Lily: "It's a *grouse*," she yelps, smiling broadly. 28->159 120 Little Lily: "Haa haa, yessss!" She smiles, hugging her fuzzy toy. 29->120 30 Little Lily: "Isn't he soft?" She's right, Lamby is very soft. She rubs the white fur against your cheek, then returns the lamb into her lap, cuddling it. 30->12 31 You: "Wait, you mean spooky, right?" 175 Little Lily: "Mhmh," she replies, nodding. "It's very, very booky." 31->175 32 Little Lily: "Oooh..." She doesn't seem to understand, but you have conveyed the 'important' part, at least. 110 Little Lily: "They're in my sandcastle." She points somewhere outside. "Behind our house. Under the sand. You can break the castle, it's not very good." 32->110 59 GainTask("TASK.get_the_armoured_gloves_from_lillys_sandcastle")--[[ Variable[ ]] 33->59 34 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 34->193 35->36 36->223 37->24 116 You: "Okay." (Lie.) 37->116 167 You: Hey, why can't I swear off swearing for real? 37->167 38 Volition: Guess you held your ground. It can be good, being honest with yourself. 168 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 38->168 39 Untitled hub (05) 141 You: But what if I don't want to be a man who swears? What if I want to be a No-Bad-Word Cop? 39->141 181 You: ... Fuck. I guess I am a man who swears. 39->181 40 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 40->193 41 You: "Not really, but I'd like to." 41->10 42 You: "Revolutionary?" 160 Little Lily: "Yessss," she yelps happily! "Lamby was a re-luz-ion...ry." 42->160 43 You: "Why is it 'booky'?" 68 Little Lily: "Vee-eery booky!" She's clutching her stuffed toy and shaking her head. "Don't go there." 43->68 44 Kim Kitsuragi: "Press your damn cheek against Lamby, okay?" The lieutenant sounds authoritative -- and surprisingly gruff. 128 You: Press your cheek against Lamby. 44->128 45->59 46 Variable["village.lily_greeting_done"] 47 Variable["village.lily_greeting_done"] 46->47 48 !(Variable["village.lily_greeting_done"]) 46->48 119 Little Lily: "Hello, mister!" The Net Picker's daughter waves at you. 47->119 75 Little Lily: "Hello, mister!" A young girl, barely four or five years old, sits on the sofa. She is looking at you with frank curiosity. 48->75 49 Little Lily: "Yesss." She frowns. "They don't want to play with me. They're older and play outside!" 202 Little Lily: "They look the same! Haa ha haa! Sometimes I can't tell them 'part." 49->202 50 Little Lily: "That's nice! My mom is great," she nods. "She's never angry or anything." 71 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 50->71 51 Little Lily: "*Everything*!"

Maybe something you saw or heard that was weird?" 61->2 62 Little Lily: "What?" She covers Lamby's ears by cupping his whole head in her small palms. 100 Little Lily: "Lamby doesn't like bad words. Please promise!" 62->100 63 Little Lily: She stares at you, waiting for an answer. 149 Volition: You can't abandon swearing for a simple reason: You're just a man who swears. 63->149 64->168 65->8 65->181 66 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 66->223 67 You: "Well, can I have it?" 136 CheckItem("ruffed_grouse_taxidermy") 67->136 68->31 195 You: "Is there anything you can tell me about the building?" 68->195 69 You: "What's this?"

Lamby doesn't either." 73->22 74 Little Lily: "Yes." She yawns, and leans back into the cushion. 139 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 74->139 170 Little Lily: She clutches a small stuffed animal. Occasionally she twirls it around. 75->170 76 Little Lily: "Noo, mister!" Her eyes grow wider as she shakes her head. "Even Lamby doesn't like it." She hugs her stuffed toy tighter. 161 Little Lily: "We don't go there. Mom and auntie think we do, but it's very booky." 76->161 77 Little Lily: "Yesssss, I am! Little Lily!" She gazes at you with her big eyes. "You know my mom?" 77->41 194 You: "Yes, we met earlier." 77->194 78 You: "There was a phasmid in it! I was trying to catch it." 126 Little Lily: "Ohh, okay!" She nods seriously. 78->126 79 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 79->193 80 You: "Are the twins outside your brothers?" 80->49 81 Little Lily: "I dunno." 81->67 127 You: "Can I have it? I know someone who really likes stuffed birds." 81->127 226 You: "Uh, okay, thanks." 81->226 82 Little Lily: "It's old and broken." She nods. "Dan-ze-ruus, Mom says. I listen to mom. Lamby also listens. Brothers listen.

You just need to grab it from the ceiling and go! 85->106 86 You: "I don't deserve it. I'm scum." 132 IsKimHere() 86->132 87 Kim Kitsuragi: "Where did you get these gloves?" 108 Little Lily: "Found them when Lamby and I were playing hide-and-seek. In an empty house where no one lives!

I don't like it anyway... it looks angry." 90->124 91 You: "Where are your parents?" 206 Little Lily: "My mom's outside, and I don't really know about my dad."

It can be healthy to express yourself with them." 92->148 92->167 93 Jump to: [Untitled hub (04)] 93->37 94 Little Lily: It has only lasted three seconds. The girl still waits for her answer. 94->9 95 You: "I heard you kids might have gotten into the Feld building?" 95->76 96 Little Lily: "It's Lamby! He's my friend. Sort of, like..." She holds the fuzzy beast up to demonstrate. 215 Little Lily: Lamby is a stuffed lamb that, admittedly, has seen better days. One of the eye-buttons is missing and the fur is tattered in several parts. 96->215 97 Little Lily: "Lamby usually doesn't like strangers, but you're also fuzzy like Lamby." 142 Jump to: [main-hub-lilykid] 97->142 98 Little Lily: "Oooh..." She doesn't seem to understand, but the lieutenant's tone has conveyed to her the 'important' part. 98->110 99->83 100->37 101 You: "What's that thing you're holding?" (Point at her toy.) 101->96 102 You: "Lamby looks like he's falling apart." 217 Little Lily: "Yessss, Lamby has lived a long life." She waves the lamb around in the air. "Lamby was a... re.. a rev..."

The lieutenant shakes his head. 112->176 113->34 157 Little Lily: She turns the stuffed lamb to face her. "What does that mean, Lamby?" The doll offers no reply. Stuffing hangs out its rear. 114->157 115 Little Lily: She gasps. "No! Don't say bad words! Promise?" 207 IsKimHere() 115->207 116->7 117 Volition: Yes. There you are. Yes. There you are. It's okay -- you can breathe now. That wasn't so bad, see? It's just who you are. 117->94 118 Little Lily: "Uh, mister, what were you doing in my fireplace?" 118->78 151 You: "Nothing." 118->151 119->193 120->40 121->193 122 Little Lily: "They look... ai-dent-ik!"

He enunciates the last two words carefully. 144->203 145->16 146->3 147 You: "Is that it?" 147->74 148->62 178 Variable["village.lily_volition_said_you_swear"] 149->178 150 You: "Revisionist?" 150->131 172 Little Lily: "Ohh, okay!"

Just tell me where they are." 205 Little Lily: She frowns, delaying divulging her secret. "Oo-kay," she says finally with some reluctance. "I hid them inside my sandcastle. Behind the house." She points somewhere outside. "You can take them." 155->205 156->83 157->199 158 You: "Good-bye."

Good on you for not saying them." 166->73 167->63 168->223 169->193 170->193 171 Little Lily: She twirls the furry doll around in the air, giggling happily. 171->83 172->173 173->193 174 Little Lily: "Yes.
