20 You Nod -- let him speak.
  • 21
21 Rosemary "You know, it's funny, actually..." He bursts out laughing, then takes three gulps of his pilsner and stares at you intently.
  • 23
22 Rosemary "Right... right..." His tone cools considerably. "As I said, that'll be 300 reál."
  • 109
23 Perception (Sight) He's finding it difficult to focus his watery gaze.
  • 24
24 You "What is?"

25 Rosemary "What?"
  • 119
26 You "What do you mean *what*? What did you think was funny earlier?"
  • 27
27 Rosemary "This guy, this guy..." He says and shakes his index finger at you.
  • 233
28 You "Forget about it, I just want the spirits!"
  • 118

  • 120
30 You "You know what?! I don't even want the spirits anymore!"
  • 31
31 Rosemary "So what do you want then?!"
  • 32

43 Rosemary "I got one of those scientific ampoules a few months ago. 'Torpedo' they call it. It's supposed to keep a man from takin' a drink." He spits a nasty yellow clot on the ground before you.
  • 44
44 Rosemary "Didn't stop *me* for shit, that's for sure!" His voice rings with pride. "Five lemons with half a pack of butter and you're good to go."
  • 45
  • 46
45 You "That's a good tip, I should remember it."
  • 129
46 You "That sounds dangerous."
  • 47
47 Rosemary "It was," he croaks. "In a week the goddamned kidneys started giving me all kinds of hell. Finally the missus took me to a private doctor's office -- not a charity, the real thing..."
  • 48
48 Rosemary "Those assholes!" He gets visibly angry. "Those assholes charged me *four reál* to remove the damn thing. But I came out on top after all!"

51 You "Assholes..."

52 Rosemary "Swiped three cans of this blue medicinal stuff from the back room. Threw the snakes out and voilà -- what's left is this beautiful blue stuff." He shakes the bottle. "98.7%, almost pure alcohol."
  • 217
53 Rosemary "Two I already sold to these fine gentlemen here," he nods at his companions. "But this last one is yours for three reál, if you want it?"

  • 70
56 You "No, not really."
  • 69
57 You "Can I smell it first?"
  • 58
58 Rosemary "Here..." He uncorks the bottle and holds it under your nose. "Be careful, it's extremely flammable. One spark and the entire City of Revachol is wiped off the map."
  • 59
59 Pain Threshold Feels like someone set a mustard field ablaze right inside your nose, then drenched it in tear gas. Your nose is a singular source of pain... but at the same time you don't remember the last time you felt so alive.
  • 65
60 Rosemary "Feels like someone's trying to jam an angry hedgehog down your nostrils, doesn't it, buddy-boy? Wait for the adrenaline-tsunami, it's *really* great!"
  • 197
61 Horrific Necktie Did I not tell you, *bratan*? This is it -- this is our party drink. This is what we're having, baby! Please get it for me! (The tie vibrates excitedly around your neck again.)

  • 75
75 Rosemary "Bought cigarettes, bought beer, even bought a bit of speed. And look at me now... I got everyone on my hook." He spreads his arms and smiles a crooked toothless smile.

  • 144
107 Rosemary "See, friend..." He brings out a one-litre bottle with blue-ish liquid. The mouth is corked shut. "It's *real* valuable. Worth every reál, if you catch my drift. Got it from a bit of a business venture..."

  • 113
112 Rosemary He hands you the bottle. "Jus' make sure to *enjoy* that one, friend!"
  • 157
113 Idiot Doom Spiral "What?" The man in the dirty tracksuit turns his head. "Big bank?"

120 Rosemary "Sure-sure, the spirits!" He rubs his palm against the back of his head. "Now, what did I say the price was again?"

  • 128
128 Logic It's almost too easy, haggling with incoherent drunks.
  • 125
129 Rosemary "Well, it really isn't," he croaks. "In a week the goddamned kidneys started giving me all kinds of hell. Finally the missus took me to a private doctor's office -- not a charity, the real thing..."
  • 48
130 You "I thought it was 300 reál."
  • 131
131 Rosemary "Yeah! You thought right! Don't even try to sneak anything past old Rosemary here." The man leans forward. "I got all senses locked on you, buddy-boy. So what will it be?"
