My Idea for a Disco Elysium “mechanic”. Post game, during a new case, If the player completed the “heraldic parrot” quest and chose either the Bang Bang, Funeral or Major Majestic parrot, They will meet one of the three Parrots. (I dont have anything for the Fuckupatoo) You can convince Jean Vicquemare and Ptolemy Pryce to Allow you to keep the parrot and have it join you during your field work If you claim it as your “emotional support Heraldic soulmate“, much to the displeasure and bafflement of Kim. (Despite his objections he does find your love for the parrot very sweet and isn’t actually that upset about it and, with some convincing, willing to even introduce and refer to the parrot as “detective {parrots name}”) Each parrot has it’s own personality and assist abilities that help with checks, unlock unique dialogue options and provide information and insight. Each parrot also allows you to read back any previous conversation you’ve had. Bang Bang Cockatoo (Gang-Gang Cockatoo) at the far back Is named Raphael Ambrosius Costeau. He speaks with a pleasant, posh British accent and has a polite, inquisitive "Watson"-esque personality. He casually refers to the player as "Sir," but uses "Mr. Du Bois" when being stern and "Harrier" when concerned. His main encouragement to the player is to engage in detective work, solve the case, and act responsibly. He offers interesting perspectives on clues and directs the player towards possible new leads. Funeral Cockatoo (Zanda funerea or Yellow Tailed-black Cockatoo) Second to back is named Tequila Sunset. He has a dour and melancholy demeanor and speaks with a soft, monotone "emo or goth" style that sounds generally bored and disinterested. He casually refers to the player as "Mister," but uses "Bro" when being stern or upset, and "Dude" when concerned. His main encouragements are centered around accepting oblivion, informing or speculating on the inevitability of death, and sharing secrets about the pale. He warns the player against taking unnecessary risks and offers insight into the potential outcome of certain actions, informing them if something might lead to harm. Major Majestic Cockatoo (Major Mitchell Cockatoo) In front is named Joopson. He has a flashy and schmoozy personality and speaks like a classic, sleazy "movie star manager." He casually refers to the player as "Harry Baby," but uses "Du Bois Baby" when being stern or manipulative, and "Harry darling" when concerned or upset. His main encouragement is to network, make social connections, boost the player's ego, act flashy, and really take on their role as a superstar. He offers interesting insights into characters' thoughts and actions and gives fashion tips, directing the player to take time and do silly things for the sake of "boosting the ratings."

7. [Put the book away.]

BACKYARD WALL - This is a wall on the side of an apartment building.

[Conceptualization - Impossible 18] Why am I looking at this wall?]

[Leave.]

+2 Cindy's artistic impulses are infectious.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - You have no clue. It's just a wall.

SHIVERS [Easy: Success] - So many walls all over Martinaise -- weatherworn, cracked, their paint peeling...

2. [Leave].

We pick up 0.35 real and some Magnesium.

A garden hose. This won't be of use until the snow melts.

Chairs and tables eaten by rain and rot.

Another splattering of bullet holes on the wall.

Some Nosaphed, and a hat.

ORANGE BUM HAT

+1 Reaction Speed: Feeling twitchy -1 Rhetoric: Bum brain

An orange beanie with a couple of big-ass holes on the side. It looks like it might have been used as a mask during an armed robbery.

Not a skill tradeoff I'm williing to make right now.

Just a closed door, but you look at it suspiciously.

These barrels are half-full of rainwater.

A balcony with a view to the yard -- *and* the hanging.

SMOKER ON THE BALCONY - You see a young man on a balcony nursing a cigarette. His eyes have been following you for a while.

"Not looking for any trouble, officer..." he says in a quiet voice. Despite the cold, his shirt hangs unbuttoned on his frame.
