Conversation 1406: WHIRLING / CEILING FAN

The ceiling fan is spinning like the blades of some rickety old airship about to fall on you. A truly horrendous neck-tie has somehow attached itself to one of the blades.

How to use this page:

This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files. Entries often contain written dialogue, as well as conditional logic governing their appearance to the player. 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).

9 Inland Empire Or has it been consigned there as punishment? You feel as though this creature is your *friend* and wants to reattach itself to your neck. So that you may continue your adventures together in this strange world!

33 Ceiling Fan What you have in your hand is a fantastically colourful tie, with four or five different patterns. The knot reminds you of a noose.

54 Savoir Faire Oh no, it's happening again. You didn't catch it and now there's numbness in your left arm, plus half your chest.
  • 72
55 Ceiling Fan It's even worse this time. Maybe you should stop trying to catch the tie?
  • 56
56 Ceiling Fan Still happening. Definitely worse than the last time.
  • 57
57 Ceiling Fan Finally the stabbing recedes. You could try doing it again to see how painful it gets -- but you would probably die.
  • 27
58 Ceiling Fan This is bad. Feels like sharp stones grinding in your chest and keeping you from moving.
  • 59
59 Ceiling Fan For quite a long time.
  • 60
60 Ceiling Fan Still ongoing. Now is a good time to start worrying.
  • 61
