Note

Suggestion/request if you need any, maybe Kim and Jean talking after Kim joins Precinct 41?

PERCEPTION (Hearing) [Medium: Success] — Wait. You can hear voices just outside the window. Familiar voices. If you concentrate, you can just make out what they’re saying through the pitifully thin glass.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “…smoke Drouins, too?”

KIM KITSURAGI — “I’m giving them a try.”

ELECTROCHEMISTRY — Oh, *hell* yeah. You should go join them for a smoke.

SUGGESTION — Or… hang around by the window for a minute or two first.

YOU — What? Why?

SUGGESTION — Oh, come on, Harry. Aren’t you a *little* curious about what those two talk about when you’re not around?

INLAND EMPIRE — You don’t want to know. Don’t even think about it. Lock that thought away with her letter and anything else that might hurt you.

YOU — Isn’t it wrong to eavesdrop?

SUGGESTION — You’re not eavesdropping, you’re just getting a breath of fresh air by the window! It’s not *your* fault that your two closest friends also just so happened to be having a smoke right outside the same window. The precinct is public property, anyway. If this was a private conversation, wouldn’t they have it on *private* property?

ENCYCLOPEDIA — I think you’re confusing private ownership with privacy.

SUGGESTION — Oh, look, a new copotype. Grammar Cop.

They’re my friends, so I should respect their privacy. (Step away from the window)

They’re my friends, so they wouldn’t be talking about anything they wouldn’t talk to *me* about, right? (Eavesdrop)

INLAND EMPIRE — You’re too trusting. So are they, it seems. You’re going to be the death of each other, someday.

PERCEPTION (Hearing) [Easy: Success] — You casually lean against the wall beside the window, sipping water from the cooler and listening to the muffled voices outside.

KIM KITSURAGI — “…late nights?”

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Everyone here works late. I’m sure you’ve noticed. But Jude and Trant have kids to look after…”

EMPATHY — He’s got nobody. That’s something you and he have always had in common.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “This late, it’s usually just me and Harry.” He pauses, perhaps to take a drag from his cigarette. “…And you?” He asks more than says it.

KIM KITSURAGI — “And me.” His voice is flat and quiet.

EMPATHY — He’s got nobody, too.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — Another long pause. You can see Jean’s hand suddenly come into view through the glass.

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] — Don’t panic! He’s just flicking the ash from his cigarette. See, it’s fine. If you’d flinched, they might have seen you.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “How’s the Drouin?”

KIM KITSURAGI — “Not bad. I might make the switch.”

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Ha. I like them better than Astras, but most people disagree.”

KIM KITSURAGI — He gives a noncommittal sort of hum, nothing more.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Any reason for the switch?”

KIM KITSURAGI — “Just wanted to try something new,” he says lightly.

DRAMA — A lie if I ever heard one, sire.

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — Astras remind him of Martinaise. Of loneliness. Smokers on rooftops and balconies and in traffic jams. A corpse on the boardwalk. A corpse that could have been *you.*

-1 MORALE

INLAND EMPIRE — I told you not to listen.

SUGGESTION — No, no, surely if you listen long enough, you’ll hear something *good* about yourself.

Walk away.

Keep listening.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “…Can I ask you an unprofessional question?”

KIM KITSURAGI — He hesitates, just briefly. “I suppose.”

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Why the hell did you agree to transfer here? I mean, don’t get me wrong, we’re glad to have you.” A pause. “Well, more like we were totally fucked without you.” Another pause. “Okay, we’re still fucked, just less fucked. But you could have stayed at the harbor and *not* been fucked.”

ELECTROCHEMISTRY — If only there was as much fucking going on around here as he makes it sound.

KIM KITSURAGI — “Hm… I suppose I could have.” He pauses for a smoke. “But I think that the 41st will be… more important in the grand scheme of things than the G.R.I.H.”

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — “UN JOUR SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI.” Whatever is coming, he feels it’s going to come here first.

KIM KITSURAGI — “And like I said, I’ve been wanting to try something new.” You can almost hear the smile in those words.

DRAMA — But they are still not entirely truthful. Oh, he *does* long for something new. That part was the truth, sire. But he won’t find it here. Deep down, he knows it. And there you find the lie he tells himself over and over again, every day he reports for duty.

CONCEPTUALIZATION — “Nulla sarà cambiato della luce.” Nothing will be changed about the light. Nothing will ever be changed…

PERCEPTION (Hearing) — Silence falls, so lengthy that you almost think that they must have finished their cigarettes and started their way back. And then—

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “I thought maybe it had something to do with the shitkid.”

COMPOSURE — To call the following silence “loaded” would be a massive understatement.

YOU — Oh… I don’t know if I want to hear this…

INLAND EMPIRE — Leave now. Please, just leave.

SUGGESTION — Stay! They care about you, that’s what they’re going to say!

INLAND EMPIRE — That’s what makes it all so sad.

Spare yourself.

Stay.

KIM KITSURAGI — “…And if it did?” His voice is calm, like deep, still water.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Then I was going to warn you not to bet everything on a losing dog.” His voice is calm, too. That’s what hurts the most. “You haven’t known Harry long enough to see the pendulum swing the other way. And it *will* swing, Lieutenant. It’ll happen right when you start to think that maybe it won’t. And then things will get uglier than you ever thought possible.”

DRAMA — …He isn’t lying, sire. Nor is he trying to intimidate the lieutenant. He believes every word he’s saying.

YOU — Wait, so then… then it’s true? All the progress I’ve made… is it worthless?

INLAND EMPIRE — Nulla sará cambiato…

VOLITION — No. He’s waiting for the past to repeat itself. But it doesn’t have to, Harry. At least, not always in the same way. Don’t lose hope.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “…I’m not trying to be cruel.” His voice suddenly softens. Saddens. “I just don’t want you to end up with regrets. There’s no fixing that guy, Kim. People have tried.”

EMPATHY — *He* has tried. And for his troubles, he’s had all sorts of cruelties hurled at him. Humiliation, abuse, betrayal. Broken promise after broken promise. He’s almost exhausted any hope he ever had.

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — Almost, but not quite. That’s what hurts him the most.

-1 MORALE

INLAND EMPIRE — You’ll die at this rate.

VOLITION — Why are you doing this to yourself? Their words are not ironclad truth. You don’t need their permission to live. And you *definitely* don’t need to hurt yourself like this.

SUGGESTION — It doesn’t matter. You don’t have a choice anymore. You *need* to hear this.

Stay.

KIM KITSURAGI — An uncomfortable shuffle of nylon can be heard, even through the window. “…I appreciate your concern,” he says stiffly. And that’s *all* he says.

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — He knows he doesn’t sound like he means it, but he does. And he also knows that Vicquemare will be embarrassed, maybe even hurt, by the curt response. But he can’t think of a single word to say.

EMPATHY — It’s hard for him to face people head on like this. It’s easier when he has something to hide behind. Like you and your antics.

PERCEPTION (Hearing) — A long sigh. You’re not sure whose it is.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — And then you see Jean’s hand toss his cigarette butt into the grass. “Well, who knows? Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you’re some kind of miracle worker. I mean, two of you apparently *attract* miracles. You know, with your pheromones.”

KIM KITSURAGI — “He wasn’t talking about *our*… khm. Actually, never mind. Let’s not start the cryptid thing again.”

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Yeah, let’s not.” He sounds a little gruff as he says it.

EMPATHY — He is sad that no miracle ever happened for him, and angry that it came for someone else at all. But most of all, it hurts him that your miracle was someone else.

YOU — I’m sorry for forgetting…

EMPATHY — Forgetting what?

The things he did for me.

The things I did to him.

Why I am the way I am.

All of it.

EMPATHY — He can’t hear you, Harry.

VOLITION — There’s no point in being sorry for how everything played out. Your relationships with them, your sobriety, the case, the Insulindian miracle— all of it is as much a product of circumstance as anything else. A matter of who was in the right place at the right time. All you can do now is choose what to do with what came of it.

That is why they’ve run out of things to say now. They are sad and uncertain, but they have chosen to carry that. What do you choose?

To tell them I don’t need their fucking pity.

To be sorry all the same.

To distance them from me before the pendulum swings.

To make sure they never leave me alone to die.

I don’t know. I want to do what’s right, but I don’t know what that looks like.

VOLITION — None of us really do, Harry. Just do your best.

KIM KITSURAGI — “…I’m not trying to fix him.” His words come out clunky and awkward. Sudden, as if he said them against his better judgment.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — “Uh huh.” He sounds doubtful.

KIM KITSURAGI — The lieutenant clears his throat. “That is to say… I believe he can get better. He *is* getting better. But I don’t think… Well, let’s call it a… a chronic problem.” He clears his throat again, clearly uncomfortable.

EMPATHY — It’s hard for him to say that he doesn’t think you’ll ever put it all behind you. It makes him feel callous.

KIM KITSURAGI — “But… I think that’s all right. We all have things we simply have to learn to live with. But we do live with them. And I think he’s getting better at living with… with everything,” he finishes, trying to put it as delicately as possible. “That is all I can ask of him.”

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — Maybe someday, he’ll tell you and Jean about all the things he has learned to live with, and the times when he very nearly didn’t. But not today.

JEAN VICQUEMARE — You hear the click of a lighter. Another cigarette. “…I see. Well, if he’s made any progress, he probably owes it to you.” He makes a valiant effort to conceal the bitterness in his voice.

KIM KITSURAGI — “No,” he says quietly, “I don’t think so. I think… Well, it doesn’t really matter what I think.”

ESPIRIT DE CORPS — A freshly cleaned room. A little girl come in from the cold. A handkerchief pressed into the hands of a working class woman. A wall with the words “I LOVE YOU CUNO” painted in giant red letters. Dancing ecstatically around a hole in the world. He remembers it all, but he is at a loss for the words to explain the true miracle of it all. He wishes that Jean could have seen it and understood.

YOU — So do I…

#disco elysium #jean vicquemare #kim kitsuragi #harry du bois #requests #anon #THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE I RLLY ENJOYED IT…#jean and kim are so. interesting.#since kim is smth of a wish fulfillment fantasy for the suicidal #and jean is like… well more like the nightmare scenario ksbsjdnc of someone who you’ve managed to push to the breaking point #but who still cares about you and that’s the most painful part #so i imagine jean and kim’s dynamic to be a little tense w a slight resentment from each of them #where kim dislikes how vitriolic jean can be but also understands where it’s coming from and even feels a little guilty abt the situation #and jean is legit hurt that his friendship w harry (sort of) withstood so many years of harry being an asshole #but didn’t seem to make any difference to harry #and then in walks kim who’s just Some Guy and suddenly harry is cleaning himself up for him #but he knows that’s not fair and he genuinely likes kim so he’s just like. *miserably befriends you*#and then on top of that the case in martinaise is starting to crack through kim’s resignation to being a cop #but jean is so… well idk if anything will ever get through his resignation tbh.#‘’there is nothing more in that beloved future of yours. we are all done there. done and gone.’’#so yeah. lots of tension between them and lots of thoughts that kim can’t bring himself to share w jean which only makes the tension worse

Kenny Rogers, Actor, Country Music Icon, Dead at 81

Actor-singer Kenny Rogers, the smooth, Grammy-winning balladeer who spanned jazz, folk, country and pop with such hits as “Lucille,” “Lady” and “Islands in the Stream” and embraced his persona as “The Gambler” on record and on TV, died Friday night. He was 81.

He died at home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, representative Keith Hagan told The Associated Press. He was under hospice care and died of natural causes, Hagan said.

The Houston-born performer with the husky voice and silver beard sold tens of millions of records, won three Grammys and was the star of TV movies based on “The Gambler” and other songs, making him a superstar in the ’70s and ’80s. Rogers thrived for some 60 yearsbefore retired from touring in 2017 at age 79. Despite his crossover success, he always preferred to be thought of as a country singer.

“You either do what everyone else is doing and you do it better, or you do what no one else is doing and you don’t invite comparison,” Rogers told The Associated Press in 2015. “And I chose that way because I could never be better than Johnny Cash or Willie or Waylon at what they did. So I found something that I could do that didn’t invite comparison to them. And I think people thought it was my desire to change country music. But that was never my issue.”

“Kenny was one of those artists who transcended beyond one format and geographic borders,” says Sarah Trahern, chief executive officer of the Country Music Association. “He was a global superstar who helped introduce country music to audiences all around the world.”

Rogers was a five-time CMA Award winner, as well as the recipient of the CMA’s Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013, the same year he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He received 10 awards from the Academy of Country Music. He sold more than 47 million records in the United States alone, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

A true rags-to-riches story, Rogers was raised in public housing in Houston Heights with seven siblings. As a 20-year-old, he had a gold single called “That Crazy Feeling,” under the name Kenneth Rogers, but when that early success stalled, he joined a jazz group, the Bobby Doyle Trio, as a standup bass player.

But his breakthrough came when he was asked to join the New Christy Minstrels, a folk group, in 1966. The band reformed as First Edition and scored a pop hit with the psychedelic song, “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In).” Rogers and First Edition mixed country-rock and folk on songs like “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town,” a story of a Vietnam veteran begging his girlfriend to stay.

After the group broke up in 1974, Rogers started his solo career and found a big hit with the sad country ballad “Lucille,” in 1977, which crossed over to the pop charts and earned Rogers his first Grammy. Suddenly the star, Rogers added hit after hit for more than a decade.

“The Gambler,” the Grammy-winning story song penned by Don Schlitz, came out in 1978 and became his signature song with a signature refrain: “You gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em.” The song spawned a hit TV movie of the same name and several more sequels featuring Rogers as professional gambler Brady Hawkes, and led to a lengthy side career for Rogers as a TV actor and host of several TV specials.

Other hits included “You Decorated My Life,” “Every Time Two Fools Collide” with Dottie West, “Don’t Fall In Love with a Dreamer” with Kim Carnes, and “Coward of the County.” One of his biggest successes was “Lady,” written by Lionel Richie, a chart topper for six weeks straight in 1980. Richie said in a 2017 interview with the AP that he often didn’t finish songs until he had already pitched them, which was the case for “Lady.”

“In the beginning, the song was called, ‘Baby,’” Richie said. “And because when I first sat with him, for the first 30 minutes, all he talked about was he just got married to a real lady. A country guy like him is married to a lady. So, he said, ‘By the way, what’s the name of the song?’” Richie replies: “Lady.”

Over the years, Rogers worked often with female duet partners, most memorably, Dolly Parton. The two were paired at the suggestion of the Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb, who wrote “Islands in the Stream.”

“Barry was producing an album on me and he gave me this song,” Rogers told the AP in 2017. “And I went and learned it and went into the studio and sang it for four days. And I finally looked at him and said, ‘Barry, I don’t even like this song anymore.’ And he said, ‘You know what we need? We need Dolly Parton.’ I thought, ‘Man, that guy is a visionary.’”

Coincidentally, Parton was actually in the same recording studio in Los Angeles when the idea came up.

“From the moment she marched into that room, that song never sounded the same,” Rogers said. “It took on a whole new spirit.”

The two singers toured together, including in Australia and New Zealand in 1984 and 1987, and were featured in a HBO concert special. Over the years the two would continue to record together, including their last duet, “You Can’t Make Old Friends,” which was released in 2013. Parton reprised “Islands in the Stream” with Rogers during his all-star retirement concert held in Nashville in October 2017.

Rogers invested his time and money in a lot of other endeavors over his career, including a passion for photography that led to several books, as well as an autobiography, “Making It With Music.” He had a chain of restaurants called Kenny Rogers Roasters and was a partner behind a riverboat in Branson, Missouri. He was also involved in numerous charitable causes, among them the Red Cross and MusiCares, and was part of the all-star “We are the World” recording for famine relief.

By the ’90s, his ability to chart hits had waned, although he still remained a popular live entertainer with regular touring. Still he was an inventive businessman and never stopped trying to find his way back onto the charts.

At the age of 61, Rogers had a brief comeback on the country charts in 2000 with a hit song “Buy Me A Rose,” thanks to his other favorite medium, television. Producers of the series “Touched By An Angel” wanted him to appear in an episode, and one of his managers suggested the episode be based on his latest single. That cross-promotional event earned him his first No. 1 country song in 13 years.

Rogers is survived by his wife, Wanda, and his sons Justin, Jordan, Chris and Kenny Jr., as well as two brothers, a sister and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, his representative said. The family is planning a private service “out of concern for the national COVID-19 emergency,” a statement posted early Saturday read. A public memorial will be held at a later date.

Other topics of discussion include

A motion to increase taxes on magic shops gets shot down

Meetings are monthly, but not mandatory

I really like German Wine and food – A Pfalz Riesling

If you are looking for best German wine and food, recall the Pfalz region of southwestern Germany. You could discover a good deal, and I hope that you may have fun on this reality-filled wine schooling Tour in which we overview a neighborhood Riesling.

The Pfalz location is just about as far as you can get from Berlin and nonetheless stay in Germany. Just over the border lies the famous French wine-generating location of Alsace. In reality, one principal Pfalz wine producer has sizeable vineyards on the other aspect of the French border. Its grapes are taken into consideration German or French, depending on wherein they’re processed.

Has Pfalz been making wine for a long time? The wine museum in Speyer, Germany proudly displays a pitcher amphora containing 1600 yr-antique wine, possibly the oldest wine inside the world.

Pfalz is about 50 miles lengthy, no longer some distance from the river Rhine. The fine vineyards have been in the palms of the Church until Napoleon’s go to. The vicinity boasts of approximately 25,000 vineyards whose average length is less than 2.five acres. not noticeably, maximum of these grape growers are component timers. Pfalz changed into historically the primary German wine producing location. It now ranks number, now not far behind its northern neighbor Rheinhessen in both general wine manufacturing and vineyard acreage. This region is every now and then referred to as The Palatinate, and has been known as the Tuscany of Germany. As you might guess from its massive wine manufacturing, the vicinity enjoys a slight climate. Who might have thought that figs and lemons grow in Germany? They do inside the Pfalz.

White wine represents about 80% of the whole wine manufacturing. The 2 pinnacle grape varieties grown here are Müller-Thurgau, a German advanced hybrid, and the frequently noble Riesling. The maximum common pink grape is the Portugieser range, however, you could locate Pinot Noir right here, specifically If you ask for Spätburgunder, its German name. about 10% of Pfalz wine is classed as primary table wine, over 70% as center high-quality QbA wine, and the rest better excellent QmP wine.

The German Wine Avenue crosses the Pfalz area. Definitely anywhere you go in this Road you could find something worth seeing, really worth tasting, and that I daresay really worth consuming. One location to visit is Deidesheim with its historic homes, city hall (Rathaus), and churches, especially the Gothic Church of St. Ulrich. every Pentecostal Tuesday the church’s access is the web site of a billy-goat public sale, folk dancing, and a parade. The neighboring village of Lambrecht can pay a tribute of a billy goat to Deidesheim for grazing rights, and has been doing so for more than 600 years. The region consists of the Schloss Deidesheim, a fort first constructed inside the 13th Century. The existing fort turned into constructed in 1817. The original fort’s moats at the moment are gardens. Other sights include neighborhood artists, and the wine estates of Pfalz’s important manufacturers, the 3 Bs, Wasserman, Buhl, and Bürklin.

earlier than reviewing the Pfalz wine and imported cheeses that we had been fortunate sufficient to purchase at a neighborhood wine save and a neighborhood Italian meals save, here are a few suggestions of what to devour with indigenous wines when visiting this stunning place. Start with a Pfälzer Teller (Bratwurst) In your 2nd path experience Schönhof Pfannkuchen (Ham Gratin in Brandy Cream Sauce). As a dessert indulge your self with Rotweinkuchen (purple Wine Cake).

OUR WINE evaluates Coverage All wines that we taste and assessment are purchased at the total retail price.

Wine Reviewed Lingenfelder Chicken Label Riesling 2004 eleven% alcohol approximately $13

Allow’s Begin by quoting the marketing substances. Bottles of Rainier Lingenfelder’s ornithological labels are deservedly sought-after, due to the fact they offer super pleasant at superb costs. This off-dry Riesling, which pairs superbly with medium-spiced Thai dishes, is an excellent example. You get lovely, rich fruit (tropical, melon, citrus), zesty acidity, and wonderful balance, It’s a great pick out-me-up for dreary iciness days, too: open a bottle and sip it before dinner.

before my overview of this wine, I would like to make a quick touch upon the bottle. I don’t think that I ever observed a bottle tougher to open. It may occur two times, however, it really might not manifest 3 times or greater. And now for the overview of the wine itself.

My first pairing becomes with a cheeseless lasagna. The wine turned into very great with fine fruit and gently acidic. The acidity did an awesome job of reducing the beef’s grease. when it encountered a slice of poppyseed cake the wine has become greater acidic however remained superb. It tasted of melon and citrus fruit.

This Riesling next observed baked filo dough rolls covered with the aid of sesame seeds, stuffed with Floor fowl and peas, and crowned with a center Jap salsa. The salsa changed into moderately spicy and blanketed tomatoes, crimson peppers, and onions. This pairing was pretty a success. Once again the wine’s acidity cut the meat’s grease, and the salsa intensified the wine’s fruit. The meal’s end became now not as first-class; a slice of apple cake containing mint chocolate turned into actually too candy for the wine. Interestingly sufficient, the cake did intensify the wine’s citrus flavor.

I then attempted range-top cooked chook in a sauce containing paprika and cumin, potatoes and tomatoes. The wine became pretty fruity; this time I tasted the lime. It turned into refreshingly acidic.

Cheap Party Halls For Rent

The only German cheese to be had in my favorite imported cheese save become a Limberger. This cheese is famous for its pungent odor, being the target of comedy by using Mark Twain, Charlie Chaplin, Abbot and Costello, Looney Tunes and others. Limberger is a cow’s milk cheese with a tender interior. whilst I bought this cheese it had Absolutely no odor but by the time I paired it with this wine the smell started out to expand. The wine changed into capable of hold its fruit, however, did have a flat aftertaste. inside the presence of a ripe French Camembert, a cheese made from unpasteurized cow’s milk, the wine lacked fruit, however as if to compensate, also lacked an aftertaste. Neither pairing changed into successful.

🎵 Miss Oranje Disco Dancer

2. "It was quite impressive. How did you amass such a hoard?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "With money, sir." She takes a drag. "It's not exactly the Antistar-sized caboodle I intend for it to be one day, but it's getting there."

"The collection contains NACRA -- an opioid antagonist."

"You seem to have, among other things, Preptide."

"That's all as far as that goes, then."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Comes in handy when you've done too many opioids."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Is that something that happens to you often, miss?" His tone isn't aggressive, just inquisitive.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Better safe than sorry." She takes a drag and smiles.

2. "You seem to have, among other things, Preptide."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Oh yes. One of my favourites. It cures many ailments."

"Like what?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Like not being able to stay up for 36 hours." She thinks. "Not being happy. It cures *those* ailments. It's just a mirrored speed molecule, basically."

3. "That's all as far as that goes, then."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Very funky." She takes a drag, looking you straight in the eye.

4. "Where does that door lead to?" (Point to the door on the roof.)

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "You tell me, officer. I've been trying to open it. In case the Contamination gets to the roof and I have to move on. No luck."

5. "That window is new."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "It is." She moves slightly to your left to check her reflection in it.

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant makes a note in his notebook.

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - He finds the answer unsatisfying.

6. "I have other questions for you."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Okay." She takes a pensive drag of her cigarette.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - Watching herself reflected in the bedroom window -- tall and sparkling and draped in smoke.

Let's come to our main reason for being here last.

4. "What is this wild flower?" (Show her the flower.)

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - She looks at the dried petals in your palm, then lightly touches one with her fingernail.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - Chipped white polish covers the nail. It's long and sharp, like a mini dagger. The petal crumbles on contact.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Pretty. Looks like a dried *may bell* -- is that the one you caught? Sam Bo-style?"

"What's Sam Bo?"

"Why was it there?"

"Sudden change of topic!"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "A martial art, sir." She raises an eyebrow. "Is that it?"

ENCYCLOPEDIA [Easy: Success] - Samaran boxing, or Sam Bo. Graceful martial arts stuff. 'Sam Bo- style' implies stealth and cool.

"Yes. Why was it there?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Why was there a flower on the roof? I don't know, officer. Because of the wind?"

SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - Or an admirer?

"Any admirers, miss?"

Say nothing.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Admirers? I'm too old to be a débutante." She looks over the railing at the plaza below. "And this place is no fashionable society."

5. "I noticed your room is close to mine. I have a personal question."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Yes, you're just one room away." She pours herself more coffee. "Very personal."

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - Good. Yes. This means she could have heard something. Like what you were doing before you blacked out.

"Were you in Sunday night? I need to know what I did before I lost my memory."

"That's all. Just wanted to establish that."

KIM KITSURAGI - "You do *not* need to know that." The lieutenant taps on his notebook. "What you need is to ask normal police questions -- like..." He waits for you to finish the sentence.

-1 Reputation

New task: Ask Klaasje about Sunday night

ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - Get a grip, he thinks. At least do your *personal* stuff when I'm not here.

Okay, fine.

3. "They tell us you've been through something difficult."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Something *difficult*?" She raises her eyebrows. "I've been through at least half a dozen difficult things -- which one do you mean?"

"Were you sexually assaulted, miss?"

"Have you been raped?"

"Forget about it. I don't wanna talk about this shit."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "By 'sexually assaulted' you mean 'raped'?" She takes a quick drag, unperturbed.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "It's a bit early in the morning for *raped*, isn't it?"

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - She sounds positively *buoyant*. Vivacious. Totally unbothered.

"It's not *that* early."

"And what does that mean? Were you..."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - She looks around. The sun has risen over the sea; people are rushing to work below...

"It *is* -- it's murderously early. I'm amazed I'm awake. Why *am* I even awake?"

It's actually almost noon. I guess the game can't account for that.

"So were you?"

"So you weren't?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Yeah..." She draws out the word. "I'm gonna go with *not raped*. I don't wanna say that shit about him."

REACTION SPEED [Easy: Success] - By *him* she must mean the victim.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Tell them it's not my style. They'll have to, you know -- if they want to jazz up the charges -- they'll have to get someone more..." She searches for the word, then shrugs. "Rapeable."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Are you saying that you were *asked* to tell us you were assaulted?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Not explicitly, but I understood what they meant. It wouldn't hurt to spice things up a bit -- some assault and battery, *sexual* assault maybe. It was clear the latter would be *spicier*."

"Titus asked you to spice things up -- for us?"

"Are you sure you weren't raped?"

"What *did* happen between you and the victim?"

"What can you tell me about him? Name, eyes, age..."

"What did they hang him for, if not rape?"

"Why was there a bullet in his head?"

"How do the Hardie boys know you?"

"Thank you for telling us all of this, miss." (Conclude.)

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Pretty much." She cradles her coffee cup in both hands.

INTERFACING [Trivial: Success] - Warming them.

2. "Are you sure you weren't raped?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I'm 89% sure."

"So you're not entirely sure?"

"Does that mean you're 11% not sure?"

"Got it. 89% is good enough. Moving on."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "You know how it is."

HALF LIGHT [Challenging: Failure] - Do you?

"Do I?"

"Actually I don't."

"How is it then?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Hmh..." She flicks a bit of ash away. "Maybe you don't..." The ash lands on her jumpsuit. She brushes it off.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - There are numerous cigarette burns on those silvery scales -- easy to see now that you're closer.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "In conclusion, officer -- I'm gonna go with a mild to medium *not raped* here."

"Okay then."

"No one deserves to be raped."

"Sexual assault is a serious matter. I need a serious statement from you."

"It sounds like something happened, and you don't want to acknowledge it."

"Lieutenant, I don't know what to say about this."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Serious..." She takes a long, hard drag of her cigarette, then stretches her neck.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [Easy: Success] - You hear cracking in her shoulders.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Let me make this 100% clear then, officer. I was not sexually assaulted. Would I be this flippant if I had been?"

3. "What *did* happen between you and the victim?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "We partied."

"Wait... *partied*. Where have I heard that before?"

"You mean like a birthday party?"

"What kind of partying?" (Point to your bloated face.) "The kind I do?"

"I don't get it. What do you mean *partied*?"

"Suspect partied with victim. Write it down, Kim."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "A lot of partying going on."

REACTION SPEED [Easy: Success] - From Titus. About her and Titus' relationship -- that's where you heard it.

4. "Suspect partied with victim. Write it down, Kim."

KIM KITSURAGI - "You're being sarcastic."

"I am. Care to elaborate, miss?"

"No, I'm literally satisfied with that answer."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "We drank, sir..." She takes a sip of her coffee. "A lot. For weeks basically. We had that effect on each other -- we made each other drink harder. That's why I liked him."

KIM KITSURAGI - "What else?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Stimulants. Speed also has that effect -- making you drink harder. And then drinking harder makes you do more speed. It's quite the combination. We also had sex."

"You were lovers?"

"Were feelings involved?"

"Understood."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I guess you can say that, yes. A bit. Lovers is such an emotional word. But there was something there. We did enough drugs for there to be."

KIM KITSURAGI - "How did you two meet?" The lieutenant's voice is quiet, calm.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Downstairs." She taps on the roof with her 10 cm heel. "At the bar. He was on some sort of assignment -- a military man, as you probably know. Had a cool, scary scar."

SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - She appears aloof, but that scar part... the *scary* is stressed and drawn out. What's that about? Apprehension?

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - With longing. She misses him.

KIM KITSURAGI - "When was this?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "A month ago? Something like that."

4. "It must be hard for you..." (Point to the yard.) "Seeing him there all the time."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Oh yes," she says bitterly. "I have *multiple* viewpoints. From the roof, out of the bathroom window. In my dreams..."

PAIN THRESHOLD [Easy: Success] - A bitter cringe. It *hurts*. You look to the lieutenant...

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - He takes a small step closer.

KIM KITSURAGI - "You called us. The RCM..."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Yes."

LOGIC [Easy: Success] - Jackpot!

"The call -- reporting the hanging? That was you?"

Say nothing.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I made it." She nods. "And I would appreciate it if you didn't tell everyone. In Martinaise they call it *snitching*."

Task complete: Who made the call reporting the crime?

+10 XP

KIM KITSURAGI - "Reporting crimes is confidential in Revachol, miss."

"Before we go on -- if it's *snitching* then why do it?"

"The caller's voice was disguised."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Because I couldn't *handle* it anymore." She takes a drag -- her voice thick with disgust. "None of these people called. He just kept hanging there. Then they started stripping him..."

EMPATHY [Medium: Success] - Tearing off his armour, demeaning him, throwing rocks at him...

2. "The caller's voice was disguised."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I didn't exactly *disguise* it. I just muffled the mic and nicked the landline a little."

"Nicked it -- how?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "With nail clippers. And I diverted some radio fuzz into it. Into the cold wire."

LOGIC [Trivial: Success] - So *she's* Garte's mystery phone cutter!

"And, in the process, you broke the landline downstairs."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Did I?" She looks into her coffee. "Fuck. I didn't mean to. I had no idea what I was doing."

+5 XP

Level up!

"Why go through all the trouble?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I don't know, sir. It was stupid. I was drunk too. I was *probably* afraid the Union was listening in -- locals say they have ears in the wires."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Thank you for making the call, miss. It was the right thing to do."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I didn't want to, sir. But if I hadn't, he'd *still* be hanging there..." She looks away.

KIM KITSURAGI - "He won't be down there long, miss. We will move the body to the morgue soon."

Soon-*ish*.

5. "What can you tell me about him. Name, eyes, age..."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I'm sorry, I can't do it." She puffs on her cigarette. "Not right now. Later maybe. I keep seeing him. Like he is now. I can't talk about his -- I don't know -- *hair...*" Another puff, more nervous.

New task: Question Klaasje about the dead man

KIM KITSURAGI - "I know it's difficult, miss. We can return to it later."

INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - She meant she sees him in her dreams.

"I've also seen him in a dream."

Say nothing.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "You have? Not like I do, I imagine." She's run out of cigarette -- time to light a new one.

"How do you see him?"

"I see him as *me*."

"Better conclude this part of our talk."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "You don't wanna know." She looks into the pack -- it's light green -- then pulls out a ciggy.

2. "I see him as *me*."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - She dips the cigarette in the lighter's flame and inhales, then looks at you -- with her lungs full of smoke.

"I can see the similarity, yes." She breathes out, through her nostrils. The air smells of menthol.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Funny," the lieutenant says softly.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Funny how?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "Nothing." He nods toward the yard. "I also saw him. We had a long inspection and that sort of thing... sticks with you. Let's move on."

ESPRIT DE CORPS [Challenging: Success] - In my dream, he thinks, he said I've failed his children... you glance at the lieutenant. Then back to her.

6. "What did they hang him for, if not rape?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "He had something to do with the strike. One has been roiling since I got here. Rotten timing..." She thinks. "But you probably know all about it."

KIM KITSURAGI - "And his role in this strike was... what?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I think he was in a security detail. He was ex-military. Worked for Wild Pines -- and against the Union. We didn't discuss work much, if you know what I mean. But I understood it was dangerous."

KIM KITSURAGI - "And they lynched him for it?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - She nods.

7. "Why was there a bullet in his head?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Bullet?" There's a silence. Her brows meet in the middle, for a pained frown. "They *shot* him too?"

"They stripped his clothes and they shot him…"

KIM KITSURAGI - "You mean *after* they hanged him?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I'm confused. Sorry."

KIM KITSURAGI - "So am I. Were you aware that he had also been shot, miss?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Things are starting to go a little over my head here... I thought he was hanged? I was not *present* when they did it. I don't know what happened. I just know what they told me -- and Sylvie, the bartender."

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - This is beginning to get *confusing* for you too and we don't like that. Where was she last Sunday night?

"Where were you when this happened?"

Let it be.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Cowering. I was cowering downstairs with Sylvie."

8. "How do the Hardie boys know you?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "They're frequent guests. Downstairs." She looks at the floor. It's tarred. "They have a booth for Union members. They're probably down there now."

"And how did you meet?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Over drinks. It's been a long, boring winter."

"Did you *party*?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "A little, yeah."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Like you partied with the deceased?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "No. Not as hard."

KIM KITSURAGI - "I'm sorry to have to ask this, but have you had a physical relationship with any of the Hardie boys?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I have."

"Which one?"

"Understood."

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Which *ones*, sir -- I don't remember precisely. Titus, obviously. But as I said, it's been a long winter."

SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - Could that have been part of the reason they hanged him?

"Could that be why they lynched him? Jealousy?"

Don't mention it.

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "I hope not." A pause. "Actually, I *know* that's not the reason. I'm careful about that kind of thing. Not crossing the wires, you know. But that's probably where they got the rape idea."

"What do you mean?"

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - "Men like that? I don't know..." Another pause. "It's the way their imaginations work. I suspect it's what they'd like to do to me."

Seems like that's all we're going to get from Klaasje. I guess we should go back and tell Titus that his story doesn't add up.

9. "Thank you for telling us all of this, miss." (Conclude.)

KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - She breathes a silvery sigh of relief. And weariness. The air on the roof feels humid.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Should we head back downstairs, officer?" The lieutenant looks at you. "We may have things to discuss there."

2. "Let's go." [Leave.]

As you can probably tell, Kim wants to talk to us. I thought I'd take this conversation out onto the balcony, but he interrupts me before I can leave Klaasje's room.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Looks like we have more to discuss with those so-called *Hardie boys*." His voice is lowered. "Half their reasoning just went out the window."

"You think this will make them cooperate?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "Nothing will make them respect the RCM. But it will disrupt the game they prepared for us. We just stripped off one layer of whatever it is. Her decision to not corroborate their story was *definitely* not part of the plan."

(Say in a hushed voice.) "Why *did* she tell us all of that?"

"Got it. Let's go." [Leave.]

KIM KITSURAGI - "What else could she have done? Lie? She saw there was no way to lie and get away with it."

"I'm not sure she *had* to lie. I wouldn't have known."

KIM KITSURAGI - "If not you, then me. It was a smart move from her."

"She seems candid."

"Something is off here."

KIM KITSURAGI - "You think so?" A shadow runs across his face. "Being candid is the best way to lie. The appearance of candour, with some facts thrown in, draws attention away from whatever one chooses to omit."

"She may be trying to control the pace of the investigation. Anyway, we should move. I suspect our inquiries will bring us back here soon enough."

"Here's 100 real."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Great, thank you officer, that's *all* I wanted -- payment for services rendered. If you continue to stay here, I just ask that you please pay your nightly bill in advance, starting tomorrow."

SUGGESTION [Medium: Success] - He's not sorry about his behaviour for your sake. Now that you have money, he really wants to make sure you're not angry with him.

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "I'll unlock the electronic lock to your room." He taps his foot against a metal box installed in the back of the bar counter. "All the doors lock automatically at 21.00."

"Please pay for each night in advance starting tomorrow. Twenty reál per night."

New task: Find money for rent and pay Garte

KIM KITSURAGI - "I'll take a room here too." He opens his wallet.

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Of course." He takes the money and hands him a keyring. "Always happy to have officers from the RCM as guests. Anything else I can do for you?"

2. "Garte, I saw another *thing* at the Whirling..."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Another thing -- great. I love those."

2. "There's a mysterious *blue steel door* in the back of the kitchen."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Oh, yes, that door, sure. There's nothing *mysterious* about it. It's just a door." He shrugs.

"Do you know what's behind it? Do you have..."

"Okay then, never mind."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "No, I don't have a key -- I don't know how to get there. And I don't *care* either. It's not like I've been *wondering* about it for ten years. It's just the Frittte warehouse probably."

"Or some boring storage space with a bunch of old junk... and dust. Junk and dust." He runs his finger across the counter to check for dirt.

COMPOSURE [Easy: Success] - He's attempting to maintain an air of indifference. It's absolutely not convincing.

"I think you'd like to know what's back there."

Let him get to pretend he's indifferent.

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Fine, okay. A little." He shrugs. "But my job doesn't leave me time for wondering about *one* locked door in *one* of the cafeterias I manage..."

"So I haven't opened it. I *have* cleaned the whole place a hundred times over, though -- after the *animals*. And I haven't found a key. So good luck with that."

+5XP

3. "There's something else I want to talk about."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Yes?"

3. "I talked to Sylvie. She left because of me, not you."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Wait, what?" He looks up, surprised. "But what about the bird?"

"The bird?"

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Yes, the bird. I found it lying on the floor with a broken wing the morning she left."

He died at home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, representative Keith Hagan told The Associated Press. He was under hospice care and died of natural causes, Hagan said.

The Houston-born performer with the husky voice and silver beard sold tens of millions of records, won three Grammys and was the star of TV movies based on “The Gambler” and other songs, making him a superstar in the ‘70s and ’80s. Rogers thrived for some 60 years before retired from touring in 2017 at age 79. Despite his crossover success, he always preferred to be thought of as a country singer.

Coincidentally, Parton was actually in the same recording studio in Los Angeles when the idea came up.

“From the moment she marched into that room, that song never sounded the same,” Rogers said. “It took on a whole new spirit.”
