A jolly, easy-going man at the very bottom entrance to the gates. He gives information about the scabs, the strike, the union boss, Measurehead and being a boiadeiro.

| 2 | Call Me Mañana | "Scab?" asks a man with jolly eyes, tilting his head. |
|
|
| 3 | You | "What exactly *is* a scab?" |
|
|
| 4 | Call Me Mañana | "A kind of a worm, content with mere survival. They come, they want to do *our job* for shittier pay, screwing over both themselves and us. Everybody loses." |
|
|
| 5 | Call Me Mañana | "Personally, I'd rather beg than scab. If the gentlemen shouting on the street came *begging*, maybe they'd have gotten something." |
|
|
| 6 | You | (Nod.) "Have you tried talking to them?" |
|
|
| 7 | Call Me Mañana | "We've explained the matters, but they don't listen." He shakes his head. "This lot would be reasonable and go home if the big guy wasn't riling them up all the time." |
|
|
| 8 | You | "I'm not a scab. I'm a cop." (Proceed.) |
|
|
| 9 | Call Me Mañana | "Ah, I was just messing with you." His smile deepens his wrinkles even more. "No one's ever seen a cop scab." |
|
|
| 10 | Call Me Mañana | "Oh. Good, good! What matters do you want to discuss with Evrart?" |
|
|
| 11 | You | "I need to get past the gates and speak with your boss." | Variable["TASK.report_to_the_tribunal_done"] == false and Variable["TASK.interview_union_boss"] == true and Variable["TASK.ask_for_help_from_the_harbour"] == false and Variable["TASK.interview_union_boss_done"] == false and Variable["XP.find_a_way_inside_harbour"] == false and Variable["gates.manana_granted_passage_up"] == false |
|
| 12 | Call Me Mañana | "Sure, I've had the necessary free time." He spreads his arms wide, using the reach to show how much time he has. "Fortunately, there's always time." |
|
|
| 13 | Composure | The look in his brown eyes conjures up an understanding: for him, having command of his time is the most important thing. |
|
|
| 14 | Encyclopedia | It all comes together now, the way he speaks about scabs, his general attitude. He's a follower of a 500-year-old Franconigerian boiadeiro code -- itself an appropriation of Vespertine cool... |
|
|
| 15 | You | "He might have information about a killing that took place behind the hostel." |
|
|
| 16 | Call Me Mañana | "Body still hangin' in the tree?" He rubs his chin as if pondering his core beliefs. "Aye, that's a rough pickle... can't help you with that, sorry." |
|
|
| 17 | You | "There's been talk of suspicious activity at the harbour." |
|
|
| 18 | You | "Why are you striking?" | Variable["TASK.interview_union_boss_done"] == true and Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] == true |
|
| 19 | Call Me Mañana | "We're negotiating our share." |
|
|
| 20 | You | "Your... share?" |
|
|
| 21 | You | "Wait, so not wages or pensions or..." |
|
|
| 22 | You | "How large a *share* would you like?" |
|
|
| 23 | Call Me Mañana | "This stuff -- they already covered." |
|
|
| 24 | None |
|
||
| 25 | Call Me Mañana | "Aye." He seems pleased with himself. |
|
|
| 26 | Call Me Mañana | "All of it. However, right now we want all the harbour workers to be on the company's board, so they could take part in *the decision-making process*." |
|
|
| 27 | You | "Shouldn't you be grateful then? It's a lot more than most people here have." |
|
|
| 28 | Call Me Mañana | "Never grateful. Were we ever grateful, we'd have nothing. You fight for every piece." |
|
|
| 29 | You | "Are you a... communist?" |
|
|
| 30 | Call Me Mañana | "No," he pauses to think for a moment. "I don't think I'm a communist. Seeing something of value and saying *I want it all to myself* is a much older and simpler notion. No science to it at all..." |
|
|
| 31 | Call Me Mañana | "Even a weak child can think it. The only things holding someone back are *I can't* and *I shouldn't*." |
|
|
| 32 | You | "But don't you think the owners have a right to the harbour? Didn't they organize it into existence?" |
|
|
| 33 | Call Me Mañana | "You see, the owners already benefit greatly from the harbour. No one can doubt that. They get so much." |
|
|
| 34 | Encyclopedia | *The board* is where the stockholders send their representatives. Often those representatives don't even represent the stockholders' interests. It's not actually like some council-based democracy. |
|
|
| 35 | You | "You seem to have the wrong idea here. The board of a major company is not *council democracy*." | Variable["gates.manana_board"] == true |
|
| 36 | Call Me Mañana | "Quite a shitty board, I must say. Means someone's gotta reform it. I, for one, want to face the *fat ones'*, when decisions are made." |
|
|
| 37 | You | "Got the picture. Let me ask you something else." |
|
|
| 38 | You | "But the stuff you do aligns admirably well with the World Republic, why not call yourself a communist?" | IsTHCPresent("communist") |
|
| 39 | Call Me Mañana | "I have nothing against communists, they are honourable boiadeiros." He takes a swig from his flask. "And they have good analysis." |
|
|
| 40 | Call Me Mañana | "But my own code serves me well. If my code starts failing -- a code can fail a man as well as a man can fail a code -- then I will have to submit to a new one. Which may well be communism." |
|
|
| 41 | You | "I guess I understand..." |
|
|
| 42 | You | "I am not sure I understand." |
|
|
| 43 | You | "It sounds like you're a communist who thinks he isn't doing enough to call himself one." |
|
|
| 44 | Call Me Mañana | "See, I am primarily a lazy person." He looks very amused, as if thinking about some private joke or mystery. |
|
|
| 45 | You | "The bossman, Evrart, what can you tell me about him?" |
|
|
| 46 | Call Me Mañana | "Hey, if the rich folk screw over poor folk, with little concern for their merits or futures, why shouldn't poor folk screw over rich folk from time to time?" |
|
|
| 47 | Call Me Mañana | "I think it's best you make up your own mind, now that you've met him." He shrugs. "In my eyes, he is a capable organizer and a decent businessman." |
|
|
| 48 | Call Me Mañana | "By Heavens, why would he not be corrupt? We live in a harsh and disordered world, see. And in this world..." |
|
|
| 49 | Call Me Mañana | "He is *reasonably* lavish, sure. That's his prerogative. It's not like you want a saintly demeanour on a corrupt motherfucker. That would be a manipulative illusion." |
|
|
| 50 | You | "What does bossing the Union entail anyway?" |
|
|
| 51 | Call Me Mañana | "I guess you kinda get to be the village chief. He oversees the harbour, makes deals with the owners or other relevant parties. Watches out for his own." |
|
|
| 52 | You | "Wait... I don't even know your name. Who are you?" | Variable["TASK.report_to_the_tribunal_done"] == false and Variable["gates.manana_inland_triggers_personal"] == true and Variable["TASK.get_the_weasel_key_from_manana_done"] == true |
|
| 53 | Call Me Mañana | "Call me Mañana. I'm just a humble harbour-worker... for the past six, seven years." |
|
|
| 54 | You | "Call Me Mañana.. What kind of a name is that?" |
|
|
| 55 | Call Me Mañana | "It means *call me tomorrow*." |
|
|
| 56 | You | "So, not a given name, I take it?" |
|
|
| 57 | Call Me Mañana | "I'd say a real name is what most people call you." He realizes something. |
|
|
| 58 | You | "So it's a... nom de guerre?" | Variable["gates.manana_nomdeguerre"] == true |
|
| 59 | Call Me Mañana | "A nom de guerre would be more like *Guerra Mañana*." He chuckles. Then realizes something. |
|
|
| 60 | You | "Hold on, have you had any other names?" |
|
|
| 61 | Call Me Mañana | "Now that we're getting so well acquainted -- what's your name?" |
|
|
| 62 | You | "It's... umm... Harry." | Variable["tc.harry"] == true |
|
| 63 | Call Me Mañana | "I hear you and it's... uh, pleasure meeting you, *Harry*." He nods. "But do keep an eye out for an alternative, alright?" |
|
|
| 64 | You | "Honesty. I *lost* it while drinking." | Variable["tc.tequila_sunset"] == false |
|
| 65 | Call Me Mañana | "Wow! This is major! You're like... a man born anew!" His eyes light up. "Okay, so if you can't find it, maybe make up a new one?" |
|
|
| 66 | You | "I may take that into consideration." |
|
|
| 67 | You | "It's been said I call myself *Tequila Sunset*." | Variable["tc.tequila_sunset"] == true |
|
| 68 | Empathy | The man is deeply moved. You see his eyes turn teary with appreciation. He is extremely happy for you. |
|
|
| 69 | Call Me Mañana | He reaches his hand out to you and shouts: "Boiadeiro!" |
|
|
| 70 | You | Shake his hand. |
|
|
| 71 | You | Leave him hanging. |
|
|
| 72 | Call Me Mañana | "Well, boiadeiro --" He pauses to think a moment on the situation. "I guess I don't really have a claim to your hand or anything." |
|
|
| 73 | Call Me Mañana | You receive a good, strong handshake in return. |
|
|
| 74 | You | "What's a... *boiadeiro*?" |
|
|
| 75 | Encyclopedia | Mañana sounds like a mesque word, but he doesn't actually look much like a mesque. |
|
|
| 76 | You | "Mañana? You don't look like a Mesque..." | Variable["gates.manana_mesque"] == true |
|
| 77 | Call Me Mañana | "I'm not. I'm *Vacholiero*. Not all Mesques have the Mesque look, either, you know. Things in the real world are a bit more... fluid. Stuff ain't always what it appears to be." |
|
|
| 78 | Inland Empire | It feels like there's an entire history behind the word... but it doesn't really matter. You got it. You know what it *means*. |
|
|
| 79 | Call Me Mañana | He takes a swig from his flask, then offers you some. |
|
|
| 80 | You | "Oh yeah!" (Take a swig.) |
|
|
| 81 | You | "Thanks, I'll pass. I'd just go wild." |
|
|
| 82 | Call Me Mañana | "And then we might go wild together, which sounds fun. But I guess I have a strike to watch." |
|
|
| 83 | Call Me Mañana | "Keeps you warm on a day like this. Or any day, for that matter." |
|
|
| 84 | You | "What kind of a cool guy exactly? It's not *just* a cool guy, is it?" |
|
|
| 85 | Call Me Mañana | "Like me and you. Exactly so." He takes a swig from his flask, then offers you some. |
|
|
| 86 | You | Have a moment of silence. |
|
|
| 87 | None |
|
||
| 88 | You | "Does this mean you can let me through the gate?" |
|
|
| 89 | You | "The Measurehead thing didn't go well for me. Could you help me with that somehow?" | Variable["XP.find_a_way_inside_harbour"] == false and Variable["gates.mhead_greeting_done"] and Variable["gates.manana_granted_passage_up"] == true and IsTHCPresent("advanced_race_theory") == false |
|
| 90 | Call Me Mañana | "Sorry. Busy surveying the situation." He takes a swig from his flask. "I'm sure you'll figure something out. You guys have all sorts of gadgets these days." |
|
|
| 91 | Call Me Mañana | "Olá, wandering man." He looks at you with soft and hazy eyes. "How can I help you?" |
|
|
| 92 | You | "It sounds scary, I don't want to." |
|
|
| 93 | Rhetoric | No doubt he's communist enough to call himself such. But he won't. |
|
|
| 94 | Composure | He knows who he is. Firmly grounded -- has no need to reinforce or elaborate his political identity to himself or others. |
|
|
| 95 | You | "Hold on, where did they all come from?" |
|
|
| 96 | Call Me Mañana | "Beats me. Somewhere in the ground, I think." |
|
|
| 97 | You | "You don't seem to like them much." |
|
|
| 98 | Call Me Mañana | "Gotta be bloody stupid or freakin' evil to scab. Or, I guess... scared, maybe. But scared of what, of who?" He looks at the mass, squinting his eyes as if trying to ascertain what they're scared of. |
|
|
| 99 | Logic | Not a given name, for certain. It's a taken name -- the kind for artists, or criminals, or revolutionaries and the sort. An alias. A *nom de guerre*. |
|
|
| 100 | Call Me Mañana | "Suit yourself. Yet one can't live nameless; names are important things. Vessels of the soul." |

|
|
| 104 | You | "Uhhhh.... I actually don't have a name." |
|
|
| 105 | Call Me Mañana | "It can take time to come up with a good one, for sure." |
|
|
| 106 | Inland Empire | The encroaching doom is golden red. It is inside you, but also outside, on the horizon, by the water's edge. Innermost but yet to happen -- things make sense from that angle... |
|
|
| 107 | You | "I can't do it. I'm sorry." |
|
|
| 108 | Inland Empire | You're *Tequila Sunset*. You have been Tequila Sunset for a long time now. |
|
|
| 109 | You | "The name's... Tequila Sunset." |

| 112 | You | "Name-invention feels too dangerous." |
|

| 115 | You | "What's your deal with names, anyhow? Is it a spiritual thing or a philosophical one or...?" | Variable["gates.manana_namemagic"] == true |
|
| 116 | Call Me Mañana | "More a poetic thing. Any attempt to formulate a grand unified theory about it ends in the stupidest shit imaginable. Doesn't make it less true, though." He nods sagely. |
|
|
| 117 | Call Me Mañana | "That means I can't *tell* you about it. I can only *show* you. You may understand in time... or not. But it might be easy enough." |
|

|
|
| 196 | Call Me Mañana | He leans in to inspect the card. "How did you get his shift card anyway?" |
|
|
| 197 | You | "Does not seem plausible, now that I think of it." |
|
|
| 198 | You | "I found it on the ground. At the Whirling-in-Rags." |
|
|
| 199 | Call Me Mañana | "Highly unlikely. I've known John for several years now. Also, you *told* me you're a cop, remember? How did you get his shift card?" |
|
|
| 200 | You | "Sure, I have no real need for it." |
|
|
| 201 | You | "No, I'm afraid. The card's evidence in an on-going investigation." |
|
|
| 202 | Call Me Mañana | "Thank you plenty. I'll make sure John gets his card back." |

|
|
| 205 | Call Me Mañana | "Suspicious activity? How very troublesome... yet, take a look around. Strikers, protests, scabs -- isn't it all so very suspicious?" He smiles widely. |
|
|
| 206 | Call Me Mañana | "So mysterious. So intriguing." The man gives out a jolly chortle. "Either way, the road in front of you is wide and open." |
