2	You	Pick up the handset.		4
3	You	[Leave.]		357
4	Payphone	You hear the tone -- the machine is operable.		99
5	Perception (Hearing)	In the distorted distance you hear someone turning next to her. Bedsprings rattle.		42
6	You	[Leave.]		428
7	Payphone	It didn't give you *any* fun for that money. Nothing. Your hand is turning blue now... blood drips to the ground.		301
8	Payphone	Calling...		78
9	Payphone	End of tone. Someone picks up.		10
10	Payphone	"Pierre? Is that you, Pierre?" The voice is female and sounds about a hundred years old.		372
11	Payphone	She does not answer. All you hear is hiss.		64
12	You	"I might be? What's Pierre like?"		15
13	You	"Yes, it's me -- Pierre."		15
14	You	"No, this is not Pierre."		17
15	Payphone	"So nice of you to find the time to call me! It gets so lonely. Even the animals have died."		59 56 57
16	You	"There was someone there before. I heard someone. Who's there with you?"	Variable["coast.payphone_perc_someone_there"]	11
17	Payphone	"Do you have any news about Pierre?"		18 22 21
18	You	"Who is Pierre?"		19
19	Payphone	"He's my sister's grandson. He used to visit me as a lad... Fine young man..."		24
20	Payphone	"You're not a revolutionary, Harry... You're drunk."		299
21	You	"Yes, Pierre is dead."		54
22	You	"No, I have nothing."		47
23	None			239 241 243 245
24	Payphone	"But who are you then? A salesman of some sort? Modern goods are rubbish. And I can't afford them anyhow. It's a shame what you did to our country..." The woman moans and the phone lines howl in unison with her.		26 33 38 51
25	Inland Empire	Dora. The name feels like a *gift*. A gift that was meant for you -- to make it possible to live.		439
26	You	"I'm not a salesman, I was just calling a random number and you somehow ran with it."		27
27	Payphone	"This is because we are bred to be leaders. I can hear the common or mixed background from your voice."		29
28	Payphone	Calling...		30
29	Payphone	"I just so wanted it to be Pierre... Have a pleasant evening, prankster."		31
30	Payphone	Calling...		52
31	Payphone	Disconnect tone.		75
32	You	"Is someone *there*?"		84
33	You	"Yes, I'm a salesman. What exactly did we do to your country?"		34
34	Payphone	"You ruined it and you sold it to foreigners. You don't own anything if everything is for sale."		36
35	Payphone	Calling...		37
36	Payphone	"Give it a thought. Goodbye."		31
37	Payphone	Calling...		28
38	You	"I don't know who I am... But who are you?"		39
39	Payphone	"I was a baroness."		41
40	Payphone	"Dora." She's still confused. "Who is this? The connection is bad..."		25
41	Payphone	Pause. There is silence on the other end.		45

45	Payphone	"You won't get me and you won't get my money!"		91
46	You	There's more?		72
47	Payphone	"Sure you do. No one has anything nowadays."		49
48	Payphone	Calling...		50
49	Payphone	"You're either a salesman or a statistician of some kind. I am not interested in cooperating."		26 33 38 51
50	Payphone	Calling...		35
51	You	"No, I'm a police officer."		53
52	Payphone	And calling -- for who knows how long. But no one answers. You need to insert more money to call again.		523
53	Payphone	"To hell with the police! To hell with you..."		62
54	Payphone	"What a pity... I'm afraid I won't be coming to the funeral. I.... there... chrysanthemum..."		62
55	You	Don't react.		74
56	You	"That's... not good."		71
57	You	"It gets lonely even when you're with people."		71
58	Payphone	You dial the number again -- as you've done many times. You remember it well now: 001 -- 41 -- 44 -- 47 -- 11 -- 17 -- 361 -- 451 -- 67 -- 451 -- 451.		48
59	You	"What kind of pets did you have?"		71
60	Volition	Don't react. Whatever you do, don't react to that last thing.		32 55
61	You	Put 10 cents in and dial the long phone number one more time.	Variable["coast.payphone_dolores_second_call_done"] and Variable["coast.payphone_dolores_third_call_done"] == false	58
62	Payphone	Her voice is drowned in white noise. Sounds like waves washing a beach, growing in volume until the call suddenly disconnects.		95
63	You	Dial a random number -- with your eyes closed.	Variable["coast.payphone_made_fourth_prank_call"] == true	259
64	None			79
65	None			244
66	None			99
67	You	"Hello."		191
68	Payphone	Silence. The connection falters. You hear her last words repeated back to you in an echo:		438
69	Payphone	There's a sigh.		505
70	Payphone	You can't hear her reply.		505
71	Payphone	"Are you sure you're Pierre? Your voice, it's different... I... there... chrysanthemum..."		62
72	Interfacing	Yes. 451 -- 67 -- 451 -- you are going deeper now, into some unknown place. Far away from this island of matter and its telecommunication networks....		160
73	You	"No."		68
74	Perception (Hearing)	It doesn't matter if you react or not. You still think you hear a *man's* voice in the background. It's covered in pain and white noise...		115
75	None			99
76	You	"A creature is a creature. I wish I was the wind."		141
77	Inland Empire	This feels wrong. Should you be doing this?		9
78	Payphone	Still calling...		77

83	You	Hang up. [Leave.]		346
84	Perception (Hearing)	No answer. You're not sure but you think you hear a *man's* voice in the background. It's covered in pain and white noise...		115
85	You	Keep dialling...		120
86	Conceptualization	This is too much... You need to recede...		80
87	Payphone	Disconnect tone.		66
88	Inland Empire	You get a sinking feeling. It makes you look if Lieutenant Kitsuragi overheard you. To your relief, he did not.		351
89	Payphone	Phone hanging up.		87
90	Payphone	A metal payphone under a yellow plastic dome. You could use it to call someone, unless you're out of change...		2 3
91	Payphone	Phone hanging up.		31
92	You	"I need to know who you are. WHO ARE YOU?!"		94
93	Payphone	"Please do. Just please do."		64

99	None			100 102 104 394 63 370 364 322 61 6
100	You	Put 10 cents in and dial a random number: 005-24-03-155.	Variable["boardwalk.payphone_made_first_prank_call"] == false	8
101	You	"I need answers to my *mystery*."		94
102	You	Put 10 cents in and dial a random number: 005-51-17-912.	Variable["boardwalk.payphone_made_first_prank_call"] == true and Variable["boardwalk.payphone_made_second_prank_call"] == false	114
103	You	"You're naked, aren't you?" (Beat the handset against the phone.)	Variable["coast.payphone_elchem_warmandnaked"]	70
104	You	Put 10 cents in and dial a random number: 005-99-77-313.	Variable["boardwalk.payphone_made_second_prank_call"] == true and Variable["boardwalk.payphone_made_third_prank_call"] == false	229
105	You	"You're warm."	Variable["coast.payphone_elchem_warmandnaked"]	69
106	Payphone	"Oh no... is that you?" Her voice sounds like she's waking up now. Still plaintive, tired...		86
107	Electrochemistry	Underneath it she is naked and warm under a blanket.		79
108	You	"Good bye."		182
109	None			156
110	Payphone	"Hello, Girard speaking!"		362
111	Payphone	Someone with a masculine voice picks up:		110
112	Payphone	Still calling...		113
113	Authority	Again? Seriously?		111
114	Payphone	Calling...		112
115	None			244
116	None			196
117	None			244
118	You	Hang up.		116
119	You	Still, let it ring.		109
120	Interfacing	11 -- 17 -- 361 -- your fingers keep moving like a spider, every time the ring rotates back with a little ring of metal, like a bell tolling.		46
121	None			122 124 125 127 129
122	You	"Hey, Girard, get your wife for me, will you?"	Variable["coast.payphone_prank_drama_get_wife"] == true	137
123	You	"I want to live -- with you..."		106
124	You	"Is Alec Tricity there? I need to speak with Alec Tricity, please."	Variable["coast.payphone_concept_electricity"]	132
125	You	"Girard... what a douche name... Change it -- change your name!"		134
126	You	"I don't know why I said that."		106
127	You	"Sorry, wrong number."		144
128	Payphone	Calling...		185
129	You	Hang up. [Leave.]		524
130	None			244
131	Payphone	Calling...		128
132	Payphone	"No, but I got a feeling Al Kickurass is gonna make an appearance if you ever call this number again. Have a good one, asshole!"		353
133	You	"Your voice makes me want to turn into dust."		106
134	Payphone	"What are you, like five?" A woman's voice shouts something in the background and when Girard speaks again his voice is hushed...		135
135	Payphone	"Thanks for calling, asshole!"		353
136	You	Just let it ring.		138
137	Payphone	"Wh-who is this?" The man does not understand.		165 139 140 142 129
138	Payphone	Calling...		128
139	You	"It's Harry, put her on, I don't like waiting."	Variable["tc.harry"] == true	148
140	You	"It's Pierre, now put her on. I don't like waiting."		148
141	Payphone	"Oh no, not this... what time is it?"		65
142	You	"I'm sorry it was a stupid joke, I shouldn't have called, it's stupid -- I'm so sorry."		146
143	You	"Pick it up!"		131
144	Payphone	"Don't worry about it, buddy -- happens to all of us. You have a nice day now!"		353
145	Payphone	"What?" It takes a second for her to realize what you said.		126 133 123
146	Payphone	"You shouldn't mess with people like this..." His voice is very calm. "You go have a nice day now."		353
147	Empathy	C'mon, you know why.		119 118
148	Payphone	"Who the fuck do you think you are talking to me like that?" The voice on the phone is suddenly very agitated.		151 153 154 155 129
149	You	Just let it ring.		156
150	You	"Your voice is so beautiful."		326
151	You	"I'm the guy who's fucking your wife, Girard. Now put her on before I lose my patience."		170
152	You	Why?		147
153	You	"Guillaume. Guillaume le Million."	IsTHCPresent("guillaume_le_million")	163
154	You	"I'm Mazov. Kraz Mazov."	IsTHCPresent("kras_mazov")	161
155	You	"I'm no one, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this..."		170
156	Payphone	Calling...		128
157	Payphone			158 159
158	Payphone		Variable["coast.payphone_empathy_stop_being_an_idiot"]	152 149
159	Payphone		(Variable["coast.payphone_empathy_stop_being_an_idiot"]) == false	143 136
160	You	Finish it.		213
161	Payphone	"Very funny, asshole."		353
162	Empathy	It looks like she does not want to pick it up, Harry. Stop scaring her.		157
163	Payphone	"Very funny, asshole. Why don't you grow up! Oh, and disco is dead!"		353
164	You	"I can't *tell* you who I am. I have a secret plan to win mankind three thousand years of peace on this planet. I have to be ominously vague..." (Proceed.)	IsHighestPolitical("moralist")	255
165	You	"Doesn't matter, put her on, I don't like waiting."		148
166	Payphone			167 168
167	Payphone		Variable["coast.payphone_punchtwo_painth_resist"]	7
168	Payphone		(Variable["coast.payphone_punchtwo_painth_resist"]) == false	304
169	You	"I am an ultra-high-net-worth individual. I understand how reality works. I have *seen* into it. My mind is clear." (Proceed.)	IsHighestPolitical("ultraliberal")	253
170	Payphone	"Just tell me what's going on here!" Now you hear fear too. The voice gets further away from the microphone, then yells: "Bian, come here!"		172
171	You	"I am the last faithful kingsman. I will free the city of Revachol. I will turn back the sea. I will reverse time." (Proceed.)	IsHighestPolitical("revacholian_nationhood")	246
172	Payphone	The sounds are muffled. You can make out two people: a man and a woman called *Bian*. They are talking to each other in agitated voices. There's a shuffle of feet, children maybe?		254
173	Payphone	Calling...		162
174	Payphone	More shouting. You're pretty sure you hear a man saying *fuck* several times. Then the crackle in the phone line gets violently loud, like the surf breaking.		175
175	Physical Instrument	You hear a faint *thuck*. You could swear you're hearing furniture falling over.		177 179 180 184 129
176	Payphone	Calling...		173
177	You	"Stop it! I was just kidding, I'm not sleeping with your wife!"		186
178	Payphone	Calling...		176
179	You	"Wait Girard! Let's just keep talking, buddy!"		186
180	You	"Get away from her, I'm a cop!"	Variable["boardwalk.payphone_second_prank_call_half_light_recognize_slaps"] == true	186
181	Payphone	Calling...		178
182	Payphone	A sigh. She heard you, but she does not hang up. And neither do you. You can't.		204
183	Payphone	Calling...		181
184	You	"I'm not going to stop. I'm going to keep fucking your wife, Girard."		188
185	Payphone	"Harry, please..." A sad voice answers, dressed in distortion.		107
186	Payphone	You can't make out a single word, just vague voices. One more, a child, has joined. Something breaks -- or falls over? Footsteps approaching!		201
187	Payphone	"Who is this?"		117
188	Payphone			189 190
189	Payphone		IsKimHere()	193
190	Payphone		(IsKimHere()) == false	186
191	Payphone	"Mhm," she hums, her voice warm from sleep.		187
192	None			99
193	Kim Kitsuragi	"What the hell are you doing?" The lieutenant has been keeping a distance, but steps closer now.		195 197
194	Volition	Now walk away. Forget about this. Walk away and do police work. *BURY* this in yourself and move on.		192
195	You	"What? I'm just having a bit of fun, what's the big deal?"		380
196	Payphone	The headset lands in the cradle with a clank.		547
197	You	"You're right, Kim -- it went wrong. Horribly wrong. I shouldn't have done this..." (Hang up.)		225
198	Interfacing	Strange. This is not how you started before.		282 288 294
199	You	Let it call!		183
200	None			392
201	Payphone	Something hits the phone with a loud crack of plastic and microphone hiss -- after that you are left with the disconnect tone.		205
202	You	Hang up.		196
203	Volition	What in the name of god did you just do?		382
204	Pain Threshold	That's it. You're caught in a trap. It'll take quite a while for the shit-circus to end now.		222
205	Payphone			206 207
206	Payphone		IsKimHere()	208
207	Payphone		(IsKimHere()) == false	203
208	Kim Kitsuragi	"What the hell are you doing?" The lieutenant has been keeping a distance, but steps closer now.		212 211 215
209	You	No. Let it call. I *must*.		200
210	None			202 199
211	You	"You're right, Kim -- this went wrong, I shouldn't have done this..."		221
212	You	"I was just having a bit of fun, what's the big deal?"		217
213	Interfacing	451 -- you have dialled god knows how many numbers. The headset has been waiting silently to relay a signal -- surely nothing can come of this, you think. But it does. A connection.		284
214	Authority	Before it's too late, please.		210
215	You	"I don't understand what I did wrong."		224
216	You	"I'm a revolutionary servant of humanity. I will free mankind and abolish the classes. I will raise the dead." (Proceed.)	IsHighestPolitical("communist")	20
217	Kim Kitsuragi	"Big deal?!" Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.		378
218	Payphone			219 220
219	Payphone		Variable["coast.payphone_volition_put_it_down_before_badness"]	214
220	Payphone		(Variable["coast.payphone_volition_put_it_down_before_badness"]) == false	210
221	Kim Kitsuragi	"You're right, you shouldn't have."		379
222	None			244
223	Kim Kitsuragi	"Let's just go, I've had enough of this phone booth."		384
224	Kim Kitsuragi	"You were making *prank calls*." Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.		378
225	None			221
226	Volition	Put it down.		218
227	Payphone	"Stop calling me, man!" Someone picks up. The voice on the other end is slightly hysterical.		386
228	Payphone	Still calling...		237
229	Payphone	Calling...		232
230	You	"Who is this?"		40
231	Payphone	Calling...		270
232	Payphone	Calling...		234
233	Payphone	Calling...		226
234	Payphone	Calling...		228
235	Payphone	Calling...		233
236	You	"I want to die."		145
237	Payphone	*Still* calling...		227
238	Payphone	In the middle of it -- a familiar ring. Small. Distorted.		235
239	You	"Uh... who is this?"		252
240	Payphone	You dial the number again -- twenty six pulls of the rotary dial. The machine eats the coin and a terrifying ocean of distance rustles in your ear...		238
241	You	"Yes, but a slight change of plans -- I want this delivered to the Whirling-in-Rags in Martinaise."		251
242	None			99
243	You	"We could all be a bit kinder to each other, don't you think? Consider your debt paid, my friend."		247
244	None			67 236 230 216 171 169 164 366 150 108
245	You	"You seem to be in some sort of trouble. Maybe I can help you, I'm a police officer."		249
246	Payphone	"You're not a kingsman, Harry... You're drunk."		299
247	Payphone	"My *debt?* I don't fucking owe you, it's..." The young man realises something. "Who is... ah never mind, I don't have time for this..."		389
248	Payphone	"Hello." She sounds sleepy.		244
249	Payphone	The phone gets hanged up fast as lightning, all you hear is a little shuffle of nylon as the hand moves on the other end.		391
250	None			443 448 449 450 444 445 446 447 453
251	Payphone	"Tethys, I uh..." The young man realises something. "Hey, you're not Tethys! Screw you and don't ever call here again, you're fucking with some *serious* people!"		391
252	Payphone	There's a moment of silence before the voice speaks again, more calmly: "You got the wrong number, don't call here again."		391
253	Payphone	"You're not a high-net-worth individual, Harry... You're drunk."		299
254	Perception (Hearing)	Amid the howling in the wire you make out a woman's voice with a thick Samaran accent: "Girard... Girard, this is a joke. Someone is making a joke..."		174
255	Payphone	"You're not ominous, Harry... You're drunk."		299
256	Pain Threshold	You just do. And you know it is going to hurt.		415
257	Endurance	The handset starts slipping from your sweaty palm... your breathing is heavy.		415
258	Kim Kitsuragi	"Are we about *done* with this now?" The lieutenant has taken a few steps back.		390
259	Payphone			260 261

264	Payphone		(Variable["coast.payphone_white_failed_once"]) == false	266
265	Interfacing	You close your eyes and put your index finger on the rotary dial, then pull down on the number, then move one up and repeat the motion, twice...		198
266	Interfacing	You close your eyes and feel your finger move on the rotary dial. You start with 005, as before...		393
267	None			99
268	Payphone	Still calling...		424
269	Payphone	Followed by seven digits at random. The last one makes the silence turn into a ring. It's calling...		268
