9 Plaisance "Wonderful board games, sir. 'The Viticulturist' is a classic for sure, or perhaps you'd like 'Archipelagos of Insulinde', a very educational game for those interested in geography."

10 Plaisance "'Raubritter' is a fun game of economic competition, but can get quite intense after a while. We have games for the whole family. You can play with your children!"
  • 18
11 Plaisance "Lousy auras there!" She shudders. "No, *role-playing games* are popular among those types... you know, who're into those kinds of things. Personally, I don't like it. Not at all!"
  • 31
12 You Wow, I have children? A family?
  • 23
13 You Do I have friends? (Look at the lieutenant.) IsKimHere()

23 Inland Empire It certainly feels like whatever you are will die with you.
  • 29
24 Inland Empire Are you actually friends? Or just colleagues thrown together by circumstance?

25 You "I don't feel as if I have any kids."
  • 26
26 Plaisance "Friends are technically like family." She fiddles with her pendant, thinking.
  • 41
27 You "Look at me, who'd want to have children with me?"
  • 28
28 Plaisance "Don't be so hard on yourself, sir. You just need to clean up a bit. And technically, friends are a bit like family." She fiddles her pendant.

31 Plaisance "I've heard they turn people into occult-enthusiasts. That they have rituals, where they try to summon entities. Highly immoral stuff... You can still buy them, though." She looks at the table, crossing her arms.
  • 48
32 Mountain of Board Games An endless variety of sourcebooks, lorebooks, and codices litter the table. The top-most book is titled "Welkin Compendium, Second Edition."

  • 35
34 Mountain of Board Games There's a box that says: "Wirrâl. Third Edition Mega-Setting Supplements Module". The side panel notes: "A *fantastique* adventure board game. New maps and miniatures!" A sticker on it displays -- 25 reál.

41 Plaisance "For playing with friends I'd recommend 'Suzerainty'. It's a civilization-building game where you build a civilization, then set off to brutally colonize and repress other civilizations. It'll cost 12 reál."
