They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

Column definitions:

• ID: a numerical index for the entry within this conversation.
• Character: the character speaking or acting.
• Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
• Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
• Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

ID	Character	Dialogue	Conditions	Links
0	None			1
1	None			19
2	You	"Someone's hid a key in the bush." (Point at the window.)		98
3	Logic	Someone hid the key in the bush and attached a yellow ribbon to make it easier to find.		78
4	None			10 41 5 155 13
5	You	Look out the window.	Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_succeeded_white_at_the_wrong_time"] == false	35
6	Alain	"No idea."		103
7	Perception (Sight)	Nothing, as before. Just black branches.		66
8	Cafeteria Window	Behind the dockworkers: a ceiling height window. The hawthorn branches scrape the glass like bony fingers.		27
9	Cafeteria Window	There's a little slide panel up there, to let some air in. No need to open it in spring. It's still too cold outside.		28
10	You	Squint.		9
11	Fat Angus	"Goddamnit, Dennis. You know I can't help it!" His whiny voice is in deep contrast with his stature.		128
12	Inland Empire	Keep at it. There must be a reason you've looked out this window so many times.		79
13	You	[Revert your gaze.]
14	Empathy	The shrug is disingenuous. He's intrigued -- if only for a moment.		120

25	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's for the blue door in the kitchen. There was a note there that you missed. It said the workshop key is behind the window. It's this key." He makes a note in his blue notebook.		130
26	Empathy	The shrug is disingenuous. He's intrigued -- if only for a moment.		117
27	Inland Empire	The men are talking, but you swear you hear those black limbs tap on the window as the wind blows outside.		33
28	Cafeteria Window			29 30
29	Cafeteria Window		Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"]	31
30	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"]) == false	59
31	Inland Empire	You're not so sure about that. Somehow you just *know* -- there's something out there, behind the glass.		47
32	Empathy	It's said without aggression -- as genuine advice.		75
33	Visual Calculus	You see two, maybe three bushes, grown into a single thicket -- over a period of circa 50 years. It takes time for a hedge like that to form.		4
34	Titus Hardie	"A little wisdom from old Titus -- not everything is connected to one thing. Keys just lie around. It's a messy world."		32
35	Cafeteria Window			36 37

41	You	"There's something out there."	Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_something_behind_glass"] == true	43
42	Kim Kitsuragi	"It says... 'Workshop, Spare'." He looks at the key in your hand. "There's a door in the *kitchen* that caught my eye yesterday -- it's very *blue*. Maybe there's a workshop behind it?"		142
43	Shanky	"Yeah -- your mother."		45
44	Empathy	It's said without aggression. In good trust.		75
45	Conceptualization	It's not a very good mother-joke, but the room still laughs. Something about those mother-jokes just *works*.		47
46	Kim Kitsuragi	"There was a barred door on the roof that did *not* have a lock -- perhaps there is one *downstairs* that does?" He looks around. "We should search the *kitchen*."		142
47	None			4
48	Titus Hardie	"Your secret route theory?" He shakes his head. "You're grasping for straws, cop-man. Why'd she put it back if it's hers?"		34
49	Cafeteria Window			50 51

53	Cafeteria Window		Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_twice"]	68
54	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_twice"]) == false	7
55	You	"Maybe this is somehow connected to Ruby getting to the roof?"	Variable["whirling.hardies_logic_wc_unodified_path_clicked"] == true	48
56	Perception (Sight)	Nothing. Just black tangles like the hair of an old woman. Motionless. The wind in the yard doesn't reach the hawthorn, nor does the light come in from this window.		77
57	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's for the blue door in the kitchen -- the note inside said the workshop key is behind the window. This is that key." He makes a note in his blue notebook.		130
58	Titus Hardie	"It's a solid point, Shanks. There's a lot of things off about pinning this on Ruby. Be careful when you find her, cop -- be *fair*. Give her a chance to defend herself."		44
59	Cafeteria Window			60 61
60	Cafeteria Window		Variable["whirling.hardies_viscalc_hedge_to_form"]	63
61	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["whirling.hardies_viscalc_hedge_to_form"]) == false	47
62	Kim Kitsuragi	"It *could* open the door in the kitchen -- the blue door." He looks at the key in your hand. "It says 'Workshop, Spare' -- maybe there's a workshop there?"		99
63	Visual Calculus	One can't see into the Union box from the yard *outside* -- that hawthorn is too thick.		47
64	Shanky	"Look at Glenny and his girlfriend!"		58
65	Glen	"Why did she put it *back*? After she took it?"		64
66	Shanky	"What's this weirdo cop doing now, huh? Window-shopping?"		67
67	Alain	"I think he's trying to find dirt on us, in our box. It's what they do, Shanks. Did you know policemen are sometimes called *pigs*?"		73
68	Perception (Sight)	Nothing, as always. By now you're almost certain there may be a sparrow's nest on one of the branches.		81
69	Cafeteria Window			70 71
70	Cafeteria Window		Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"]	46
71	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"]) == false	42
72	Titus Hardie	"Go ahead, Glen."		65
73	Shanky	"Wow, no. I hadn't heard that."		74
74	Alain	"Yeah -- because they like to sniff around in *dirt*." The tattooed man gives you a look.		83
75	None			134
76	Glen	"Boss, I don't want to make excuses for her, but..." He stops.		72
77	None			4
78	Visual Calculus	It's close enough to the latch up there -- one can slide it open and just take it. Surely not a coincidence.		2
79	None			4
80	Theo	"Off yourself -- make it up to me, cop. I still got my money on that."		121
81	Visual Calculus	Yes. The nest of a common house sparrow. Passer domesticus.		12
82	Titus Hardie	"Wild theory, cop-man. The worst thing is -- I like it. She's been in this box plenty of times. This would give her access to the workshop route."		76
83	Logic	He's just trying to sound clever. He has no idea what you're looking for -- nor do you, yourself.		79
84	Cafeteria Window			85 86
85	Cafeteria Window		Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"]	15
86	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"]) == false	69
87	You	"Maybe this is how Ruby got to the roof that night? Using this key."	Variable["whirling.hardie_logic_wc_succ_told_about_the_secret_route"] == true	82
88	Perception (Sight)	There's a yellow ribbon tied to one of the branches -- light yellow, faded with time. A tiny splash of colour in the blackness of the thicket. Hanging from it -- a bronze key.		3

94	Cafeteria Window		(IsKimHere()) == false	135
95	Kim Kitsuragi	"If he says it's there, it's there." The lieutenant takes his glasses off to clean them -- then puts them back on.		119
96	You	[Leave.]
97	You	(Look at the key in your hand.) "I wonder what doors does it open?"		92
98	Titus Hardie	"Huh?" The big guy looks behind him.		104
99	Logic	It's worth a try.		130
100	You	"I need your guys to hand the key to me."		102
101	None			134
102	Shanky	"And *I* need the fatty to get his feet amputated 'cause the smell is killing me -- we can't always get what we want."		11
103	Eugene	"Never even seen it. Someone must have hidden it there before this room became our place."		101
104	None			100 109 111
105	Titus Hardie	"Didn't even know it was there..." The man looks at the key in your hand -- then around the room. "Boys?"		6
106	Glen	"Sorry, Fucko! Looks like you're gonna have to go bush-diving. Good fucking luck with that -- the hawthorn's got a bitch of a bite!"		107
107	Shanky	"I'm gonna enjoy the sight of you in the bushes out there..."		123
108	Alain	"I don't know about that..." The tattooed man yawns and settles more comfortably on the bench. "I'm comfortable here... don't think any sliding would really help right now."		106
109	You	"Can you let me slide by so I can grab the thing?"		108
110	Visual Calculus	The kitchen -- the only part of the building you haven't thoroughly searched yet. It's worth a try!		130
111	You	"Titus, can you hand the key to me please?"		112
112	Titus Hardie	"I'm not your janitor, cop." He glances at the window. "I don't even know what you're talking about. There's nothing there."		114
113	Titus Hardie	"It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs.		26
114	Cafeteria Window			115 116
115	Cafeteria Window		IsKimHere()	95
116	Cafeteria Window		(IsKimHere()) == false	119
117	None			134
118	You	"Does anyone know why this key was hanging right outside the Union box window?"		105
119	None			104
120	Visual Calculus	The kitchen -- the only part of the building you haven't thoroughly searched yet.		117
121	Authority	There is a silence around this man's words -- unlike Titus, they're *afraid* of him. That's the type of respect he commands.		133
122	Titus Hardie	"It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs.		14
123	Theo	With a loud thud the old man stands up -- pushes the window open -- grabs the key from the hawthorn branch and slides it across the table to you.		131
124	Theo	The key is brass. 'Workshop, Spare' is etched into its bow. The old man closes the window and sits back down in silence.		125
125	Glen	"C'mon, man. We were just having some fun! Where's the harm in...?"		126
126	Theo	"I'm tired of listening to your shit."		134
127	Titus Hardie	"It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs.		14
128	Glen	"Sorry, Fucko! These *guys* won't help you. Looks like you're gonna have to go bush-diving. The hawthorn's got a bitch of a bite!"		107
129	Titus Hardie	"It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs.		26
130	None			134
131	You	Take the key.		124
132	Theo	"Don't thank me." The old man takes out his pack of chewing tobacco. "I don't give two shits about your key."		121
133	None			134
134	None			138 118 97 87 55 96

141	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"]) == false	122
142	Alain	"What the fuck does the kitchen have to do with this?" The tattooed man does not understand.		143
143	Shanky	"While you're in there -- make fatty a snack." He grins. "Can't you hear how his stomach is growling?!"		145
144	Fat Angus	"That's not even funny, Dennis."		110
145	Perception (Hearing)	You can and it's pretty terrifying.		144

148	Cafeteria Window		(Variable["TASK.prove_your_authority_to_the_hardie_boys_done"]) == false	149
149	Perception (Sight)	Nothing. Even though you *know* you should see it -- you don't. Just branches like black tangles of hair. Motionless. The wind in the yard doesn't reach the hawthorn. Maybe come back later and you can try again?		150
150	Inland Empire	It wasn't time yet. You have to know of the girl... Return when you know more.		151
151	None			4
