10 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife Her expression becomes very serious. "Oh sweetie. I heard your conversation with the manager about your... financial troubles. When do you get your next pay check?"
  • 112
11 Physical Instrument You've got guns of steel and a chiselled jaw (somewhere under the bloated alcohol layer). Maybe she'd like to sponsor you?

12 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Yes, dear, I am a paraplegic."
  • 14
13 You "What did you do, then?"

  • 154

  • 38

  • 154

  • 52
52 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "You'd think it would be a safe job. But I had to be everywhere -- and, well, once I happened to be under some faulty scaffolding."
  • 53
53 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "I was lucky. This was almost twenty years ago, and I was compensated exceptionally well. One can only dream of such pay-offs nowadays." She runs her hands over the chrome wheels of her chair.
  • 26
54 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "I hope not, although the work you are doing for all of us *is* quite dangerous." Her eyes glimmer with admiration as she looks up at you.

  • 468
58 You "Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, hanging out in a chair, playing pinball..."

  • 149
  • 76
  • 148
71 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife Her face flushes with excitement, but she instantly recomposes herself. "I wouldn't be of much use to you, sweetie."
  • 73
  • 74
72 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Thank you, but..." She looks out the window wistfully. "Martinaise isn't the most wheelchair-accessible place, you see. I'd slow you down."
  • 459
73 You "Why? Three heads are better than two."
  • 72
74 You "You're probably right."
  • 75
75 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife She looks out the window wistfully. "I really would like to help out, but I don't want to slow you down. If it weren't for all the stairs and potholes in Martinaise, I'd join you for sure!"
  • 79
76 You "I know, I know. But there are also *side mysteries*. Sequence killers and forays into the para-natural."
  • 133
77 You "You're no fun, Lieutenant Killjoy."

  • 85
83 You "Why don't you smoke? It's great!"
  • 87
84 You "Good for you. Smoking is a stupid habit. Maybe I should quit too."
  • 181
85 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife She shakes her head slowly.
  • 86
86 Electrochemistry Wait! Maybe she knows where you can get cigarettes. Delicious toasty cigarettes stuffed to the tip with *love*. You should find out.
  • 92
87 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife She looks embarrassed. "Cigarettes are a luxury, sweetie. Besides, I have to mind my health."
  • 86
88 Electrochemistry What are you talking about? Smoking is one of the last remaining pleasures in this world. Trust me, there's not much out there for you.
  • 182
89 You "Can you tell me where to get cigarettes?" Variable["whirling.lena_electro_ask_cigs"] == true
  • 95
90 You "I thought you were cool, with your wheels and all."
  • 93
91 You "It's probably for the best. I don't really need a cigarette right this minute." Variable["whirling.lena_volition_cigs"] == true
  • 94
92 Volition You would do well to follow her example. Smoking is the reason you feel like a rag. It's painful for you to even ask these questions.
  • 89
  • 90
  • 91
93 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife She shrugs, looking down. "An old woman in a wheelchair just doesn't look good holding a cigarette. Though I'm sure it lends *you* a roguish charm, sweetie."
  • 241
94 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "I'm glad to hear you say it! Smoking can do some real damage to your respiratory system. But I think you already knew that."

  • 219
111 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Sweetie, I only have a few cents on me. But..." She unfastens a gold commemorative pin from her left jacket pocket and drops it into your palm. "I could give you this to pawn, just to tide you over."
  • 451

  • 156
117 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "There, there. The year is '51, and spring has only just started. I'm sure there are better days ahead."
  • 157
118 Shivers Outside, the melting snow seeps into the cracks in the walls and the cobblestone streets. All the way down into the sewers... Above ground, the first May bells blossom. You can feel it. A great cold. Then the shiver passes.
  • 46
119 You "We're dead. Haunting each other. We're ghosts."
  • 120
120 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Now, now." She tilts her head as she looks up at you with maternal solicitude.
  • 125

  • 35
125 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "We are alive -- in a hostel called the Whirling-in-Rags. And the Whirling itself is in the city of Revachol."
  • 154
126 You "Honestly, I don't know diddly-squat about Revachol. What kind of place is this?"
  • 136
127 You "All I know is that Revachol used to be really cool in the Thirties." Variable["whirling.mirror_expression_source_located"] == true
  • 135
128 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Yes, we're in Martinaise, on the coast of Revachol."
  • 154
129 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Yes, indeed. We are in the fine city of Revachol."
  • 154
130 You "I know it's the '50s, but I'm not sure about the year." Variable["whirling.lena_reaction_date"] == true
  • 132
131 Logic The New was in the Thirties, and two decades have elapsed since The New, so it must be the Fifties now.
  • 227
132 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Good, dear, you got the decade right! It's the spring of '51."
  • 158
133 Kim Kitsuragi "I can assure you, with absolute certainty: there are no sequence killings taking place in Martinaise."
  • 78
134 Kim Kitsuragi He scans your face as though searching for clues. "I did not know murder investigations are supposed to be *fun*."
  • 78
135 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "The New! Disco dancing! It seems like a lifetime ago..." Her eyes are filled with light reflected off those gilded years, when the city seemed full of possibility.
  • 138
136 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife Her grey eyes widen. "How would I even begin to tell you? Revachol is the most beautiful city in the world. We're fortunate to be here, you and I."
  • 137
137 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "I haven't seen very many other cities personally, but everyone says so. Revachol is a rare jewel. This city used to rule the world... Though it has seen better days."
  • 40
138 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Much has changed, but it is still the most beautiful city in the world, a rare jewel set in the sand between the pines. Everyone says so, even foreigners."
  • 40
139 You "I believe Revachol is being managed by something called... the Coalition?" Variable["tc.coalition_government"] == true
  • 140
140 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Precisely, sweetie! Revachol is what's called a Zone of Control, led by an alliance of foreign powers. We have almost no government of our own, sadly..."
  • 383
141 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Oh sweetie..." she smiles a sad smile. "It's really not. There used to be people who thought that way -- other people, who wanted those things -- but... they all went extinct."
  • 392
142 You "I feel like *I* was in a war..."
  • 143
143 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Oh my! What happened?"
  • 144
  • 145
144 You "I think I lost."
  • 146
145 You "I think I won."
  • 146
146 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "That's how I feel about the accident..." She looks down and then up at you again. "I was a training and development manager at a rapidly expanding mail-order shoe company."
  • 52
147 You "Were you a... rugby player?"
  • 178
148 You "You're probably right, Kim."
  • 180
149 You "Kim -- of course! I forgot I had *you*!"
  • 150
150 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Yes, and it seems to me that you'd do well to stick close to him. He has the look of an upstanding officer of the law, someone you can lean on -- and, sweetie, you *are* looking unsteady."
  • 221
151 You "Yeah, what *was* that?"
  • 202
152 You "That cafeteria manager is a bad man, a man without honour or compassion."
  • 231

  • 164
157 Composure She looks flustered, her hands smoothing out the creases in her blanket even as she attempts to reassure you.
  • 164
158 Drama Though she praises you, it is clear that she was taken aback by your response.
  • 118

  • 168
168 Esprit de Corps I'm beginning to suspect that you might indeed be completely adrift in this reality, thinks the lieutenant. How can it be *that* bad? Never mind -- we're in this now.
  • 118
169 You "We are governed by intelligent machines that perform calculations to determine the *freest* market. Everyone hustles and grinds like a bad ass visionary."
  • 395
170 Lena, the Cryptozoologist's wife "Oh... no, nothing like that, dear. Revachol is a Zone of Control, led by an alliance of foreign powers called the Coalition. We have almost no government of our own. And certainly not one who's horseback."
  • 394
171 You "Our leaders are fierce warriors who traverse the plains on steeds. Civilization cowers before us."
