Confront him. 3->277 209 Untitled hub (03) 4->209 5 Kim Kitsuragi: "Uh... okay..." The lieutenant looks worried. "I *might* understand if you told me, but, sure... let's not waste any more time here." He turns to leave. 6 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 7 IsKimHere() 6->7 8 !(IsKimHere()) 6->8 88 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_had_the_being_cuno_bitch_dialogue"] 7->88 9 Cunoesse: "Watch out, Cuno, he's trying to fiddle you. He's gonna put his HANDS on you!" The *thing* behind the fence starts squealing, shrill and violent like a fire alarm. 65 Cunoesse: "Help! Pigs got Cuno! Help! RAPE!" The sound gets louder as the child shouts at the windows overlooking the yard. 9->65 10 Cunoesse: "Yeah, that's right... drag your fat ass out of here, fat boy. Before Cuno fucks you!" 118 Volition: Don't listen. Just go. 10->118 11 Cuno: "PIGS ARE HURTING CUNO! SOMEBODY *PLEASE!!!*" It's full blast now; the wind carries the message far and wide across Martinaise. 390 Shivers: Windows are being opened. On Rue Saint-Cispare, people are turning their heads. An elderly woman puts down her grocery bags in front of the Frittte store and listens. Somewhere behind her, the gates of the industrial harbour are raised. 11->390 12 Physical Instrument: You didn't shut him down. Your fat fist didn't meet its target. Instead, it pulled you down with it. 39 Pain Threshold: It's not as bad as it feels. You've maybe pulled a joint; the indignity makes it worse. 12->39 13 Untitled hub 175 You: "It was the harbour, wasn't it? They're trying to compromise me. I can hear them laughing now..." 13->175 229 You: "Kim, did *you* do this?" "Kim, did someone from your station put you up to this?" 13->229 343 You: "Did Garte put you up to this?" 13->343 344 You: "Okay, no one put you up to this." 13->344 14 Logic: How did we get here? How did this happen? This makes no sense... There may still be a way out, just appeal to his *reason*! 145 punchhub 14->145 15 You: "I think we can have a normal conversation now. Am I right, Cuno?" 152 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 15->152 16 Cunoesse: Cunoesse is staring at Cuno with pride-filled eyes, almost forgetting your presence. 150 Composure: Everything about her is saying *Wow -- what a man*. Her admiration is fuelled by camaraderie. 16->150 17 You: "Okay! Everybody calm down." 391 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 17->391 18 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_emptathy_cunoesse_recognizes_your_superior_madness"] 19 Variable["yard.cuno_emptathy_cunoesse_recognizes_your_superior_madness"] 18->19 20 !(Variable["yard.cuno_emptathy_cunoesse_recognizes_your_superior_madness"]) 18->20 130 Reaction Speed: Interesting. This tug of war has probably happened between her and Cuno's violent father too. 19->130 126 Cuno: "Okay, pig. Talk to Cuno. We're back in this shit." He brushes the dirt off his pants. "The fuck do you want?" 20->126 21 Cuno: "Fine... Cuno's gonna take it off your fat ass. At least he's gonna make some paper off this shit..." He eagerly pockets the book. "Now, what do you want?" 193 Jump to: [CUNO MAIN HUB] 21->193 22 Cuno: "Ease off, C!" He turns to you. "Thanks, pig -- we're cool now. You punching yourself in the face worked out real good for everyone." 106 Interfacing: He *really* likes this. This motor lorry shit makes Cuno happy. You could say you interfaced with his good side. 22->106 23 You: "I don't know what got into me... Giving keys to a 20-ton motor-lorry to a child -- give 'em back!" 87 Cuno: "Too late, pig! Thanks. I... fucking thanks!" For a moment he seems at a loss for words. 23->87 24 Cunoesse: "Don't trust the f****t oinker, Cuno!" 24->22 25 Jump to: [CUNO MAIN HUB] 6030438 JUMP OUT to YARD / CUNO 25->6030438 26 trucing_for_cuno 292 You: "Look, you're on my crime scene.

Make amends." 26->425 27 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant's eyes inspect your face for a while, then his posture relaxes. "Okay, let's go." 28 You: "Just answer the questions." 431 Cuno: "Help! He's digging his dick out!!!" 28->431 29 You: "Interesting... you refer to yourself in the third person to distance yourself from the situation?" 254 Cuno: "Cuno doesn't do that *smart* shit." He seems offended. "Don't throw that book shit at Cuno. Cuno knows you're lying." 29->254 30 Reaction Speed: Everyone can hear. You need to get the hell out of here before... 93 Volition: Calm down. Anyone watching can see you're doing nothing. Just keep it professional. 30->93 31 Physical Instrument: Thump! The blow connects surprisingly well, leaving your knuckles tingling. 241 Pain Threshold: Cuno *feels* it; this was no light tap. 31->241 32 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 33 IsKimHere() 32->33 34 !(IsKimHere()) 32->34 214 Kim Kitsuragi: "You are, officer," says the lieutenant, breaking his silence.

You get fucked up." 38->75 39->35 378 You: Say nothing, try to hold it together. 39->378 464 You: Try really, *really* hard to hold it together. 39->464 40 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_said_i_deserved_this_after_falling_down_when_you_tried_to_hit_cuno"] 41 Variable["yard.cuno_said_i_deserved_this_after_falling_down_when_you_tried_to_hit_cuno"] 40->41 42 !(Variable["yard.cuno_said_i_deserved_this_after_falling_down_when_you_tried_to_hit_cuno"]) 40->42 322 Jump to: [failedithub] 41->322 98 Composure: Get a hold of yourself.

You know what? You should've, because now..." He raises he's voice again. 43->419 44 Untitled hub 44->43 131 You: "Yes, but I didn't act on it. It was just a fantasy." 44->131 268 You: "Yes, how do I get back to it? I wanna go back to that thought!" 44->268 441 You: "How do you know that? You can't see inside my head." (Whisper) "Can you read my mind, Cuno?" 44->441 482 You: "Why don't we get back to the interview, Cuno." 44->482 45 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_logic_relax_cuno_cant_read_your_mind"] 46 Variable["yard.cuno_logic_relax_cuno_cant_read_your_mind"] 45->46 47 !(Variable["yard.cuno_logic_relax_cuno_cant_read_your_mind"]) 45->47 354 Composure: There's a dead body, remember?

We can just leave..." 49->77 184 Cunoesse: "Bitch, you're gonna be in this shit with Cuno *forever*!" The pipo-headed critter doesn't let him finish. 50->184 51 You: "Whatever. I had some questions about the crime scene." 330 Cuno: "Okay, Cuno is kind to his bitch. Ask your questions, but remember." He taps at his temporal lobe. "This *changes* shit." 51->330 52 Authority: The whole charade was about establishing dominance over you. You backing up means he's succeeded. 269 Cunoesse: "Cuno turned you into his prison bitch! You're gonna be *in* this shit with Cuno..." 52->269 53 Interfacing: Meaning, there's been a change in some kind of evil clockwork. There will be *consequences*. 329 Jump to: [CUNO MAIN HUB] 53->329 54 You: "Why?" 445 Cuno: "What, do you think Cuno's fucking *eighty years old*? Tryin'a bring me bum juice... make the Cuno paranoid!" 54->445 55 Jump to: [Authority: "Kim is never going to be okay with..."] 428 Authority: Kim is never going to be okay with you handing something like this off to a minor. This plan is either off the table or you need to do it when he's not around. 55->428 56 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_elchem_impressed_with_cunos_pump_cunos_pumpo_still_good"] 57 Variable["yard.cuno_elchem_impressed_with_cunos_pump_cunos_pumpo_still_good"] 56->57 58 !(Variable["yard.cuno_elchem_impressed_with_cunos_pump_cunos_pumpo_still_good"]) 56->58 359 Rhetoric: What the *fuck* are you talking about?

Anyway... this didn't work. 57->359 58->55 59 Cuno: "Shove that shit in your fat ass and stop wasting Cuno's time if you ain't got anything to offer to the Cuno." 194 Empathy: He's disappointed by your change of heart. 59->194 60 You: "You're right, Kim, you're right, of course." [Leave.] 60->27 61 Cuno: "You better come up with a way to make Cuno forget you tried to fucking hit him, piggo." 443 Rhetoric: A material offering is implied. He wants *stuff*.

A *ghost* is saying this. A shit-eating psychopathic ghost with an ace up his sleeve. 267 Cuno: "I know you wanted to hit me..." He lets it linger. "You got that 'I'm gonna fuck that Cuno up' look that Cuno's dad gets.

He looks like he can't believe your depravity. 156 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 81->156 82 Conceptualization: A pretty *lame* oranjese name. Nowhere near *Cuno*... The thought crosses your mind and then it's gone. Perhaps something for later? 276 Cuno: "Anyway." He mentally props himself back up. "Cuno doesn't do that radioactive shit. Makes Cuno's dick fall off. Cuno's got a huge dick." 82->276 83 You: "This is probably too lame for you, Cuno, but maybe you know someone..." (Hold out the *Hjelmdallerman* book.) 382 Cuno: "Uh... Cuno doesn't fucking read!" He quickly glances at the fence. "Fucking book shit, fucks with your mind..." 83->382 84 Drama: This boy of twelve does not know anyone from Graad, sire.

The lieutenant's dark eyes peer into yours over his spectacles. 90->409 91 You: "See, Kim? Cuno is a big boy." 429 Cuno: "*MAN!*" The screech from the red-haired goblin is nearly deafening. 91->429 92 Half Light: Cuno... Primal. Violent. 92->29 257 You: "Cuno? Sounds like something you'd call a rabid dog..." 92->257 340 You: "Cuno? Is that some kind of gang name?" 92->340 411 You: "Got it -- I had another question." 92->411 412 You: "So you refer to yourself in the third person?" 92->412 332 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_volition_dont_get_excited"] 93->332 94 You: "*You* made me do this. You did this to yourself." 127 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 94->127 95 You: "Stop laughing!" 264 Cunoesse: The creature behind the fence makes it a point to laugh even harder. 95->264 96 Jump to: [failedithub] 260 failedithub 96->260 97 Drama: It's a dry laugh. Mirthless. She's not even actually enjoying this. She only wants to hurt you. 266 Cuno: "Cuno made you his fuck-gimp!" He bursts into a violent fit of laughter. Sounds like a flock of seagulls taking flight. 97->266 98->322 99 Drama: Oh god, do something quick, they're gonna start *that* again! 243 Jump to: [failedithub] 99->243 100 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.cuno_authority_establishing_dominance"] 101 Variable["yard.cuno_authority_establishing_dominance"] 100->101 102 !(Variable["yard.cuno_authority_establishing_dominance"]) 100->102 357 Authority: Backing up was a bad idea, now he thinks he's established dominance over you. 101->357 102->52 103 Cuno: "Pass you around like Candy, fat boy! Pass your fat ass AROUND!" He spreads his arms, taking dominion over the yard. "KING CUNO!" 103->100 104 Cunoesse: "That's right, Cuno. You're right." The sycophantic pipo-wearing pup behind the fence agrees. 104->61 105 Kim Kitsuragi: "You don't need to. He doesn't know anything." 293 Cuno: "Oh, Cuno knows. Cuno knows shit," he squints at you.

Clearly the kid's using the third-person perspective as a shield. 115->92 116 Cuno: "Yeah!" His eyes light up. "Think about it. Think about that rabid Cuno shit." 389 Empathy: He seems glad someone understood what he was going for -- but right as he's getting distracted, you hear a malevolent hiss from behind the fence... 116->389 117 Empathy: He lays the names out there with pride and precision, like cards on a table.
