Something like that?" 53 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Yes, great, see -- we're getting somewhere. What else do you know about our city of splendour? Tattered as she may be..." 2->53 3 Rhetoric: Meaning: buying is voting. 102 Untitled hub 3->102 4 You: "So -- how did I do?" 300 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: Variable["whirling.lena_quiz_wrong_counter"] < 4 4->300 5 You: "Fucking shit. It's all over for me." 161 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: IsKimHere() 5->161 6 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I was lucky. This was almost twenty years ago, and I was compensated exceptionally well. One can only dream of such pay-offs nowadays." She runs her hands over the chrome wheels of her chair. 499 Jump to: [paraplegichub] 6->499 7 Kim Kitsuragi: "A partner who needs you to get back to helping the people of Martinaise." "A partner who needs you to help him get a corpse down from a tree." 65 You: "I know, I know. But there are also *side mysteries*. Sequence killers and forays into the para-natural." 7->65 298 You: "Kim -- of course! I forgot I had *you*!" 7->298 461 You: "You're probably right, Kim." 7->461 8 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: She shakes her head slowly. 340 Electrochemistry: Wait! Maybe she knows where you can get cigarettes. Delicious toasty cigarettes stuffed to the tip with *love*. You should find out. 8->340 9 You: "Right. Let's change the subject." "Okay then." (Proceed with a gulp) "Let's change the subject." 31 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh no... I'm so sorry I don't have money for you. If there's *anything* else I can do for you, just ask." 9->31 10 You: "On something called *the urban coast*." 261 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Yes, we're in Martinaise, on the coast of Revachol." 10->261 11 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Yes, indeed. We are in the fine city of Revachol." 137 revacholhub 11->137 12 Kim Kitsuragi: "I can assure you, with absolute certainty: there are no sequence killings taking place in Martinaise." 160 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Now, gentlemen, no need to squabble." She turns to you. "I wouldn't be of much use to you anyway, sweetie." 12->160 13 You: "Who's *sweetie*?" 364 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Why, *you* are, officer!" 13->364 14 Composure: She looks flustered, her hands smoothing out the creases in her blanket even as she attempts to reassure you. 311 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: IsKimHere() 14->311 15 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: She sighs. "I'm sure it lends you a roguish charm, sweetie." 396 Jump to: [intro_mainhub] 15->396 16 Empathy: Your advances haven't thrown her off one bit. In another place and time, she would have probably welcomed your attention. 404 Jump to: [Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: ""You must forgive me! I'm getting s..."] 16->404 17 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "It's easy. You bring a valuable item to a 'pawnbroker' who then gives you money for it. You can get it back later for a slightly larger sum if it hasn't been sold, but you never end up doing that anyway..." 153 Jump to: [pawnhub] 17->153 18 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "What do you mean?" 79 You: "He was tormenting me with outrageous demands for *money*." 18->79 19 You: "That stupid dimple has only brought me *suffering*." 48 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Love can be cruel, sweetie." Her expression turns serious. "Love can be cruel." 19->48 20 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "That's right, dear! How splendid!" 44 Composure: Her relief is palpable. She was getting pretty worried about you there, but now she relaxes her shoulders... 20->44 21 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh, that's very thoughtful of you. Are you sure you don't need the money? Okay, then. Thank you." 268 Empathy: She really would have rather had the pin back, but she doesn't want to make you feel bad. 21->268 22 You: "I got 3.20 for it. Here's the money." 22->21 23 pinning_for_the_fjords 147 You: "I got 3.20 for it. Here's the money." 23->147 173 You: "I bought it back. I know it means a lot to you. You should have it." 23->173 241 You: "I just wanted to thank you again." 23->241 273 You: "I decided not to pawn it. You should have it back." 23->273 474 You: "I got 3.10 for it.

She flashes you a worried look. 27->418 28 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "You didn't do too well, dear. It does look like you're having trouble remembering things. History and places. Remembering *Reality*, in a word. It's very odd..." "You didn't do too well, dear. You really only knew what year it is. It does look like you're having trouble remembering things -- history and places. *Reality*, in a word. it's very odd..." 408 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: IsKimHere() 28->408 29 Volition: She means this sincerely. Worrying won't do you any good. 356 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 29->356 30 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Someone more educated in *sweeping* matters? Maybe you should ask..." She turns to the lieutenant. 303 Kim Kitsuragi: "No." He looks away. "I'm not an encyclopedia. I won't be a guide either. I'm a detective." 30->303 452 Jump to: [intro_mainhub] 31->452 32 You: "But *I'm* a cop. Whatever it was hasn't stopped me!" 484 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Of course, sweetie, I... I really don't know how to explain it better." 32->484 33 You: "The 'Whirling-in-Rags' cafeteria? It was on my keys." 287 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "That's right, and where is the Whirling-in-Rags cafeteria itself located?" 33->287 34 whenhub 111 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: Variable["tc.date_fifty_one"] 34->111 35 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Actually, this machine is broken." She taps on the greasy glass of the pinball machine. 420 Jump to: [paraplegichub] 35->420 36 protectorhub 62 You: "Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, hanging out in a chair, playing pinball..." 36->62 196 You: (Nod grimly.) "Someone *has* to do it." 36->196 358 You: "I'm not sure I should be in this line of work." 36->358 37 Electrochemistry: What are you talking about? Smoking is one of the last remaining pleasures in this world. Trust me, there's not much out there for you. 227 Volition: You would do well to follow her example. Smoking is the reason you feel like a rag. It's painful for you to even ask these questions. 37->227 38 Jump to: [intro_mainhub] 283 intro_mainhub 38->283 39 You: "It isn't easy for me to ask this of anyone, but I am at the end of my rope. Any money you have could help me." 89 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Sweetie, I only have a few cents on me. But... I could give you this to pawn, just to tide you over." She unfastens a gold commemorative pin from her left jacket pocket and drops it into your palm. 39->89 40 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Perhaps, dear, perhaps. But for now it's just the spring of '51." 310 Inland Empire: She is perturbed by your not knowing what year it is -- but not by your mention of the apocalypse. It *must* be the end times. 40->310 41 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "There, there. The year is '51, and spring has only just started. I'm sure there are better days ahead." 41->14 42 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "The New! Disco dancing! It seems like a lifetime ago..." Her eyes are filled with light reflected off those gilded years, when the city seemed full of possibility. 67 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Much has changed, but it is still the most beautiful city in the world, a rare jewel set in the sand between the pines. Everyone says so, even foreigners." There's a pause as she studies your expression. You must look quite lost. 42->67 43 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh sweetie..." she smiles a sad smile. "It's really not. There used to be people who thought that way -- other people, who wanted those things -- but... they all went extinct." 54 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Revachol is a Zone of Control, led by an alliance of foreign powers called the Coalition. We have almost no government of our own. And *certainly* no dictatorship of the proletariat." 43->54 202 Shivers: Outside, the melting snow seeps into the cracks in the walls and the cobblestone streets. All the way down into the sewers... Above ground, the first May bells blossom. You can feel it. A great cold. Then the shiver passes. 44->202 45 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I see you are still grieving. Well, I won't pry." She smiles gently -- paying no heed to the inexplicable winking. 376 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "You must forgive me! I'm getting so scatterbrained! I completely forgot to introduce myself." She slaps herself on the forehead. 45->376 46 Reaction Speed: Wait, who's *sweetie*? 130 Suggestion: She is appraising you scientifically, the way she would an exceptional zoological specimen. It's not *like that*. 46->130 47 You: "Thanks. I appreciate it." 325 Jump to: [Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: ""You must forgive me! I'm getting s..."] 47->325 429 Conceptualization: That dimple is a flower attracting lust, vice, and sin. 48->429 49 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Of course, dear! I just wish I could have done more." 97 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: Variable["whirling.lena_pin_task_from_main"] 49->97 50 You: "I had once..." (Wink twice.) "But then I *lost* her..." 469 Reaction Speed: What was with that fucking wink? 50->469 51 Empathy: She really would have rather had the pin back, but she doesn't want to make you feel bad. 51->97 52 Jump to: [Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: ""You must forgive me! I'm getting s..."] 52->376 260 You: "All I know is that Revachol used to be really cool in the Thirties." 53->260 296 You: "Honestly, I don't know diddly-squat about Revachol. What kind of place is this?" 53->296 354 Rhetoric: But they still have cops... 54->354 55 You: "Who could tell me more?"

After two local champions were stripped of their titles, the city decided not to hold the event again. 58->220 475 Savoir Faire: You could totally sell this pin for cash. 59->475 60 You: "Mhm, okay." 453 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Yes -- and Revachol...?" She examines you. 60->453 61 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Nothing so extravagant, dear, though what young girl doesn't dream of soaring over a crowd?" 388 You: "What did you do, then?" 61->388 62->35 63 You: "Why? Three heads are better than two." 371 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Thank you, but..." She looks out the window wistfully. "Martinaise isn't the most wheelchair-accessible place, you see. I'd slow you down." 63->371 64 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I really would like to help out, but I don't want to slow you down. If it weren't for all the stairs and potholes in Martinaise, I'd join you for sure!" She looks out the window wistfully. 372 Jump to: [intro_mainhub] 64->372 65->12 66 You: "You're no fun, Lieutenant Killjoy." 297 Kim Kitsuragi: He scans your face as though searching for clues. "I did not know murder investigations are supposed to be *fun*." 66->297 369 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Speaking of history -- you know what *year* it is, yes?" 67->369 68 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "That's how I feel about the accident..." She looks down and then up at you again. "I was a training and development manager at a rapidly expanding mail-order shoe company." 195 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "You'd think it would be a safe job. But I had to be everywhere -- and, well, once I happened to be under some faulty scaffolding." 68->195 69 Drama: Though she praises you, it is clear that she was taken aback by your response. 69->202 70 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I'm sorry if I was being overly familiar! I know we've only just met." 70->52 71 You: "Stop winking." (Tap yourself on the side of your head to correct the malfunction.) 71->45 72 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I suppose all of us do at one time or another. I don't know what I'd do without Morell..." 72->404 73 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: Variable["whirling.lena_suggest_sweetie"] 74 Variable["whirling.lena_suggest_sweetie"] 73->74 75 !(Variable["whirling.lena_suggest_sweetie"]) 73->75 116 midgreethub 74->116 424 Visual Calculus: Her eyes move up and down your person as though taking your measurements. Her attention is *scientific*. 75->424 76 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "He's just on edge because of the lynching. Don't judge him too harshly. Anyway, I'm glad you weren't injured." 76->38 77 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Don't beat yourself up over it too much, dear. People do strange things when the old fight-or-flight kicks in. I'm just glad you weren't injured." 77->38 78 Jump to: [pawnhub] 377 pawnhub 78->377 79->76 80 You: "I don't wanna talk about the dimple anymore." 399 Jump to: [Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: ""I'm sorry if I was being overly fa..."] 80->399 81 You: "I got 31 cents for it. Here's the money." 81->21 82 You: "About your pin..." 397 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I hope you were able to pawn that old trinket!" She smiles up at you earnestly. 82->397 83 You: "On Insulinde?" 125 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Yes, but, more specifically -- on the coast of the city of Revachol, in the district of Martinaise." 83->125 84 Untitled hub (02) 84->4 84->55 329 You: "What is the *Revolution* you mentioned?" 84->329 85 You: "I decided not to pawn it. You should have it back." (Give her the pin.) 333 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Aw, thank you, dear. I confess -- I am glad to see it again." 85->333 86 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yes, we've been there," the lieutenant nods. 231 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: Variable["tc.turn_off_tutorial_node"] 86->231 87 You: "Roll us some cigarettes. I'm jonesing for a smoke." 392 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh, no-no-no, I haven't smoked in years..." 87->392 88 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "An old woman in a wheelchair just doesn't look good holding a cigarette.

People often quote the Fletchers at me." She settles down. "Morell says it's my theme song." 101->151 406 You: "If there's no government, how come there are cops?" 102->406 476 You: "I don't even know what to say. I'm so disappointed." 102->476 103 Physical Instrument: Of course. You've arrived at a *weak* world, where no one appreciates animal husbandry. 103->102 104 Endurance: She's trying to avoid the foreigners part. This is because she's a woman. She may be *lying* to you... 104->102 105 Logic: Already did that. Evrart's money wasn't gonna last forever. You need more.

You can always just pick up a pack *later*. 126->396 127 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh dear..." She shakes her head, suddenly very worried. "And you were doing so well. There aren't any cops in Revachol, not in the traditional sense. The status of law enforcement has been a complicated matter since the Revolution..." 128 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "But we should stop for today, sweetie. You look like you need a break. Besides, I'm not the best person to explain the *big* things to anyone..." 127->128 253 Half Light: She's scared now.

"Cigarettes are a luxury, sweetie. Besides, I have to mind my health." 132->340 133 You: "I was hoping you could be my *sponsor*." 278 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh, I'm sure you would make a wonderful *gigolo* dear -- with those strong arms of yours. But welfare checks aren't all they're cracked up to be.

"Revachol is the most beautiful city in the world. We're fortunate to be here, you and I." 343 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "I haven't seen very many other cities personally, but everyone says so. Revachol is a rare jewel. This city used to rule the world... Though it has seen better days." There's a pause as she studies your expression. You must look quite lost. 135->343 136 You: "That cafeteria manager is a bad man, a man without honour or compassion." 136->18 137->2 137->60 137->260 137->296 138 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: She nods, but still looks worried. 363 Jump to: [intro_mainhub] 138->363 139 You: "But I have to smoke.

You will find another calling yet, I'm certain of it!" 358->391 359 You: "Good for you. Smoking is a stupid habit. Maybe I should quit too." 359->204 360->324 361 You: "I drank so hard I forgot *literally* everything." 367 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife: "Oh my..." It takes a moment to process.

She raises her finger. "We are *not*. You could say that about almost any other nation, but not Revachol.
