2	Mirror	A mirror hangs above a bent and broken sink. In a fierce discharge of masculine energy someone has ripped half the faucet off.		46
3	Mirror	Hot water sprays from the base and steam covers the mirror. You cannot see yourself, just the outline of a man.		114
4	You	Wipe the mirror.		115
5	You	No way, I'm not doing this. [Back off.]
6	You	[Better not to know -- Leave.]
7	You	I don't care. (Still wipe the mirror.)	Variable["whirling.mirror_inland_warned"]	19
8	Mirror	Yeah, there is definitely something wrong with it.		9 59
9	You	What? What's wrong?		10
10	Mirror	Where to even begin? There's the bloatedness, then the swollenness... It's like there's an upholstery of alcohol underneath your skin.		14
11	You	I'm scared. I want to stop doing this.		15
12	You	At least my tongue is okay. (Touch your tongue.)		13
13	Mirror	It's not. It's swollen and snail-like, wriggling between your fingers.		34
14	None			16 12 11 18 40
15	Mirror	Don't be scared. It's only your face. It's not like anyone is going to *see* it.		34
16	You	I'm sorry. (Touch your nose.)		17
17	Mirror	Bet you are. Your nose feels like a small balloon in the middle of your face. It hurts when you honk it, and it doesn't appear to be a particularly tiny nose either. Not with all the drinks it's *absorbed* for you.		34
18	You	Wipe the mirror now.		19
19	Mirror	Behold!		58
20	You	Dear lord help me, what is this?!		118
21	You	Of course I do. It's... uhm... is it some kind of superstar? I think I'm a superstar.		116
22	You	I'm not making it, the face is making it itself.		24
23	You	I think it might be because I'm a superstar.	Variable["whirling.mirror_said_superstar"] == true	24
24	Mirror	Please stop, it's horrible! You're scaring yourself.		130
25	You	Okay. (Try to stop.)		122
26	You	No, this is what superstars do. (Keep making the face.)	Variable["reputation.superstar_cop"] >=1	27
27	Mirror	You *can't*, can you? It's like it's not even voluntary anymore. You have worn that grin into your face and now it won't come *off*...		28
28	Mirror	What does it even *mean*? What is the emotion you're trying to convey?		33 29 30 31 32
29	You	God, I don't know -- it's indescribable.		42
30	You	I think it's supposed to look *suggestive*. I'm afraid it's meant *for the ladies*.		37
31	You	I'm insinuating that I'm vaguely sympathetic. I think I'm sort of pulling it off too -- in a *sad has-been* kind of way. There is some charm to it.		36
32	You	It's an expression of pain.		35
33	You	Superstardom.		244
34	None			14
35	Mirror	You are correct.		295
36	Mirror	There might have been. Ten years ago. It's little more than a cadaverous spasm now.		295
37	Mirror	Please promise yourself you are not going to try it on any of the *ladies*, whatever happens.		38 39 62
38	You	I promise.		44
39	You	I promise. (Lie.)		44
40	You	I'm outta here. [Leave.]
41	Mirror	You should check yourself for a pulse, superstar. From here it looks like a cadaverous spasm.		63 68 64
42	Mirror	You should check yourself for a pulse, because from here it looks like a cadaverous spasm.		63 68 64
43	None			248 52 53 132 45
44	Mirror	You liar. You can't even tell the truth to yourself. Go ahead, try something!		295
45	You	[Let the mirror be for now.]
46	Conceptualization	Was this not the same *élan* that founds empires and lays waste to cities, virile, uncaring towards *the little things*?		47

50	Logic	Probably not, no.		3
51	Inland Empire	Abort! You clearly have not thought this through. You won't like what you will see there -- and you will never *un-become* it.		7 128 129 6
52	You	Dig deep into your mind to locate the source of *The Expression*.	Variable["whirling.mirror_endurance_rc"] == false	75
53	You	Attempt to stop *The Expression* from happening.	Variable["whirling.mirror_endurance_rc"] == false	72
54	You	Really? Nothing?		57
55	None			54 4 5
56	Mirror	A mirror hangs on the wall, covered in steam. You cannot see yourself, just the outlines of a man. You have no memory of the face that awaits you there, underneath the soft vapour.		291
57	Mirror	Really -- all recollection of the person you are, the people in your life and even the world you're in has drowned in a sea of blood alcohol. This was no mere night of drinking, it was a deluge. Of world-ending proportions.		112
58	Mirror	You have no idea who this *thing* is, do you?		20 21 60
59	You	How bad could it be?		10
60	You	This is the face of a late-stage alcoholic.		117
61	You	No. (Keep making the face.)	Variable["reputation.superstar_cop"] <1	27
62	You	No one tells me what to do.		66
63	You	Check for pulse.		67
64	You	I don't want to know.	Variable["whirling.fan_heart_damage"] == false	65
65	Mirror	Good call. Go ahead and try something, if you like. Or -- you know -- stop staring into the mirror.		295
66	Mirror	That's right! Not even yourself. Go ahead, try something, it's not an order.		295
67	Mirror	You find no sign of life on your swollen neck. However, putting your hand on your chest reveals an irregular heartbeat. You appear to be alive -- for now.		295
68	You	I don't need to. I almost died trying to get that tie, but I heard my heart beat.	Variable["whirling.fan_heart_damage"]	69
69	Mirror	Getting clever appears to make *The Expression* even worse. Now it's mixed with smugness.		295
70	Mirror	A mirror hangs on the bathroom wall. In it -- your face, adorned with *The Expression*.		284

78	Electrochemistry	It's too late. Like an image on film, *The Expression* belongs to your primary motor cortex. It would take a minor neurological miracle for you to cease producing it.		80
79	Encyclopedia	Like the rest of you, it comes from a bad place somewhere in the past. That's all you know for now.		243
80	None			43
81	Encyclopedia	It belongs in The New -- the third decade of the current century. Enough time had passed from the failure of Revolution that, for a fleeting moment, free market economy seemed like the ultimate, uncontested way of life for our species.		241
82	Encyclopedia	Things were good. It was *smooth sailing*. People made gold-and-champagne-tinted interiors and façades to suit the times, calling this *The New Style*. But, more importantly -- disco happened.		83
83	Encyclopedia	For Revachol -- your city -- that meant only one thing: Guillaume Le Million!		84
84	Drama	If it doesn't rhyme, you're not pronouncing it right.		85
85	Encyclopedia	Out of the dazzling swirl of disco music, in an open air *boîte de nuit* somewhere in Revachol West, Guillaume's blond mane appeared on the screen. He sang some bullshit. Then he made *The Expression*.		89
86	You	So I adopted it? Why?		90
87	You	I feel the need to add a clicking sound when I make it: *Click-click*.		91
88	You	How long ago was The New?		98
89	None			86 87 88 97 161 103
90	Encyclopedia	Everyone loved it. Maybe you thought some of the stardust would rub off on you? Maybe it did? Either way, it's all gone now. Only the grimace remains.		113
91	Encyclopedia	The click is used to spur on a horse. It also features heavily in Guillaume Le Million's regional mega-hit "Don't Worry (Your Pretty Little Head)".		93
92	Encyclopedia	Sometimes you like to add finger pistols to the mix, because unlike Guillaume le Million you are a police officer. It's your nifty little way to say: I'm armed and dangerous.		96

100	Mirror		(Variable["tc.date_fifty_one"]) == false	102
101	Encyclopedia	There is a vast ocean of time between right now and *The Expression* looking good on you -- or anyone. Two decades, if the calendar is to be trusted. Humanity has run aground in that time, it's a different world now. The Expression is a relic.		96
102	Encyclopedia	Some twenty odd years. There is a vast ocean of time between right now and *The Expression* looking good on you -- or anyone. Humanity has run aground in that time, it's a different world now. The Expression is a relic.		96
103	You	I guess that's it then. (Conclude.)		110
104	Encyclopedia	You have some understanding of the recent history of disco. The rest is darkness.		109

108	Encyclopedia	You have some understanding of the near history of disco, plus the trivia you've picked up along the way. Episodic memory, however, remains in the dark. It may never return. You should prepare yourself for that.		109
109	None			89
110	Mirror	It doesn't have to be. You can swoon over Guillaume and his champagne-cork smile whenever you want to... Maybe some of the stardust will return?		111
111	None			43
112	Electrochemistry	With all the synapses you extinguished, it's a miracle you can even think this sentence. You've interrupted a true act of self-annulment here.		159
113	None			89
114	Mirror	Suddenly you realise you have no memory of the face that awaits you there, underneath the soft vapour.		291
115	Mirror	As you slowly reach your hand toward the surface of the mirror...		51
116	Mirror	It appears you're also dead. There's clearly rigor mortis on your face, or wait... is that an *expression*? Are you trying to make an expression with that face? Why?		119
117	Mirror	*Too* late. You clearly have rigor mortis on your face, or wait... is that an *expression*? Are you trying to make an expression with that face? Why?		119
118	Mirror	Whatever it is, at least it's dead now. There's clearly rigor mortis on your face. Or wait... is that an *expression*? Are you trying to make an expression with that face?		119
119	None			23 22 120
120	You	I have no idea why it's there. It just is.		24
121	You	Actually, I'm not sure I *can* stop.	Variable["whirling.bathroom_mirror_volition_not_psychological"]	123
122	Mirror	Oh my god, you *can't* stop! It's like it's not even voluntary anymore! You have worn that grin into your face and now it won't come off...		28
123	Mirror	No. That would be too insane.		125 126 127
124	Mirror	Maybe that's how it started? And now it doesn't even matter anymore -- you've worn that grin into your face and it will never come *off*...		28
125	You	I'm pretty sure I can't stop.		131
126	You	I can try to. (Try to stop.)		122
127	You	If I can't stop, I wouldn't want to know. Better to just keep making it.		124
128	You	Lets just get it over with. Wipe the mirror.	Variable["whirling.mirror_inland_warned"] == false	19
129	You	Maybe I should touch it first, make sure there's nothing *wrong* with my face.		8
130	Volition	You couldn't stop if you wanted to. It's neurological.		25 61 26 121
131	Mirror	Oh my god, you're right! It's like it's not even voluntary anymore. You have worn that grin into your face and now it won't come *off*...		28
132	You	Use your chaincutters to fix the faucet. Stop steam from fogging up the mirror.	CheckItem("chaincutters") and Variable["auto.inside_shack"] == false	133

136	Interfacing	The chaincutters slip out of your hands as you attempt to twist the faucet into place. Well, you know one thing for sure -- you've probably never been a plumber.		138
137	Interfacing	The faucet is quite terribly mangled, but you just might be able to twist its parts into place.		139
138	None			43
139	Interfacing	You handle the chaincutters deftly, applying just enough pressure. The faucet regains a recognizable shape. The steam stops.		156
140	Mirror	The mirror begins to clear slowly without you having to wipe it.		138
141	Electrochemistry	It's like something snaps in you -- a nerve ending, a thought, a sadness. Your face in the mirror is suddenly clean of the leer that had distorted it for god knows how long.		146

312	Endurance	Oh yes, they're all gone. Carried off by foreign invaders because you failed to uphold your most ancient and noble vöws. The worst part is they might even *prefer* it this way...		304
