7	Washerwoman	The old woman still hums her unknown song. She opens her eyes to acknowledge your presence.		22
8	You	"Goodbye, I'm off." [Leave.]		239
9	Washerwoman	"Aye? What's this about?" She takes out the documents and squints her eyes. "Come now, I can't read all this scribble. Tell me what it says."		521
10	You	"I was asked to get your signature." (Hand her the envelope.)

13	Washerwoman	"Nay, I haven't *seen* anyone lately."		15
14	You	"Okay, but do you know who I'm talking about?"		26
15	Reaction Speed	Because she's blind, which you seem to have forgotten.		149
16	You	"Where could someone stay around here?"	CheckItem("key_coast_home") == false and Variable["village.ww_declined_shack"] == false	443
17	You	"What is in this fishing village?"		24
18	You	"What's further down the coast?"		200
19	You	"Tell me about yourself. Who exactly are you here?"		27
20	You	"Why was there a bullet under the floorboards of your shack?"	Variable["village.ww_ruby_hub_reached"] == false and Variable["village.hq_found_ruby_bullet"] and Variable["TASK.locate_ruby_on_the_coast"] == false	520
21	Washerwoman	"As you please."		186
22	Encyclopedia	There's a gap where the name of that song should be. You should ask her about it, right now!		309
23	Washerwoman	"That said, if lodgings is what you're looking for, I've got a free room in the shack." Her soapy thumb points to the building behind her.		125 126
24	Washerwoman	"Just us." She sounds tired. "It's barely a village anymore. We... *almost* don't exist."		161
25	Washerwoman	"Some things just don't *fly*, officer." She smiles a gap-toothed smile and smells the air. "Look around. Who'd go to church here? They built it three hundred years ago, must have been nicer then..."		401
26	Washerwoman	"This is my little cinderblock town." She nods with a wrinkled smile. "I know what goes on around here."		67
27	Washerwoman	"Me? No one. Just an old washerwoman. Mother called me Isobel, if that's what you're asking. And my married name is Sadie."		73
28	Washerwoman	"Hah!" She lifts the paper very close to her face and studies it intently. "I might be half blind, but it looks like part of the village is gonna be a street. The best part. The part we need to get out of our houses."		346
29	Conceptualization	The place is so pornographically poor it's not even funny.		50
30	You	"Wait, hold on, you're just *giving* it to me?"		128
31	You	"Wait, why isn't anyone using the room?"		33
32	None			31 37 131 132
33	Washerwoman	"My kids grew up and left, like they do. The house is long empty now. I live in the small side attachment -- it's easier and cheaper to keep warm."		653
34	You	"I don't need much. This sounds just fine."		139
35	You	"I'm not sure it's appropriate for the RCM to accept free accommodations."		129
36	Washerwoman	"Mhm, that's exactly how they get ya. That's why we built our own cinder block houses on the seaside. So we don't have to give money to those crooks..." She looks around. "They might not look like much, but they're *ours*."		32
37	You	"One more time: I can just *have* the room?"		38
38	Washerwoman	"Aye." She nods and looks at the shack. "The room is pretty bare bones, but it's got a bed and roof over it. That's more than some folks have around here."		654
39	You	"Don't get me wrong, but 'bare-bones' isn't usually my style." (Point at yourself.)	IsTHCCookingOrFixed("superstar_cop")	140
40	You	"It *would* help me stay in touch with the proletariat."		141
41	You	(Nod.) "This could be the first chapter of my rags-to-riches memoir."		142
42	You	"Now this is real Revacholian hospitality. That Garte must be half-kipt or something."		143
43	You	"Unfortunate that incremental development hasn't *elevated* this neighbourhood yet. I see potential here."		144
44	Washerwoman	She waves her hand southwest. "Over there you can find... more of the same. Shacks and trees growing wild. That's the Pox."		751
45	You	"Who else lives in this... village?"		46
46	Washerwoman	"Well, there's Lilienne and her kids. A few new folks live in the house to the east." She nods her head across the courtyard. "But they're away right now."		193
47	You	"Who, what drunks?"	(Variable["village.abigail_greeting_done"] == false and Variable["village.idiot_greeting_done"] == false and Variable["village.rosemary_made_it_to_main_hub"] == false) and Variable["village.netpicker_greeting_done"] == false	49
48	You	"Oh yeah, I met a couple of drunks here."	(Variable["village.abigail_greeting_done"] or Variable["village.idiot_greeting_done"] or Variable["village.rosemary_made_it_to_main_hub"]) and Variable["village.netpicker_greeting_done"] == false	194
49	Washerwoman	"Sooner or later you'll see for yourself." She slowly shakes her head. "Don't have to look long to find these guys."		196
50	None			89 160 45 51 176
51	You	"Is there a way to make a little money around here?"		631
52	You	"I get the feeling you're leaving stuff out. What else is going on?"	Variable["village.ww_blackc_shivers_something_else"]	53
53	Washerwoman	"Well, there's that music. Music from across the sea." She scoffs. "It started a few days ago and now it's blasting, even through the nights."		204
54	Empathy	She's not telling you all she knows. Keep her talking.		52 55 202
55	You	"What else is on down coast?		56
56	Washerwoman	"Before you get to the church, there's some ruins -- an apartment complex, or some kind of electrical plant... Run down bunch of houses, empty."		57 58
57	You	"Which is it then? Apartments or electrical plant?"		205
58	You	"Anything else of note?"		59
59	Washerwoman	"Of note? The old fishmarket up on the boardwalk. But it's closed."		206 61 641
60	Washerwoman	"No one, that's why it's closed." After a long pause, she adds, "It was once a bustling place, back when I was young and so was everyone else..."		207
61	You	"That's it? There's got to be more along the coast."		208
62	Washerwoman	"And now you know everything there is to know about this coast." She drops a bar of soap into the bucket with a splash.		210
63	Washerwoman			64 65
64	Washerwoman		IsKimHere()	66
65	Washerwoman		(IsKimHere()) == false	643
66	Kim Kitsuragi	"There was a murder in Martinaise." He points east. "She might be a suspect. We would appreciate your help."		155
67	Rhetoric	She's being evasive. She knows something.		63
68	You	"This isn't about the Union, you know. You don't have to worry about retaliation."		69
69	Washerwoman	"Ah, I should have known..." She shakes her head. "This is yet another Union mess. I'm not afraid of them, you know. We're not in the habit of being afraid around here."		70
70	Half Light	Enough of this! She better start talking RIGHT NOW!		71 158 157
71	You	"God dammit, I know you know something. This shit is important!"	Variable["village.ww_blackc_halflight_tell_me"]	72
72	Washerwoman	"'This *shit*?" Her eyes with their cataracts look at you. "I'm not going to do your work for you, just because you've got a potty mouth."		480
73	Authority	No one? There's something about her... She's definitely not a 'no one'.		114
74	You	"Isobel, you must understand, this place *needs* that construction project."		378
75	Washerwoman	"She's good company. Knows how to talk to an old woman." She rubs her cold hands together. "At my age, you don't get a lot of quality conversation, so I really appreciate that about her."		617
76	You	"Where did she go?" (Move on.)		79
77	You	"Why do you think she left the bullet there?"		94
78	You	"Did she have any technical equipment with her, like radio stuff?"	Variable["jam.abandoned_cabin_accessed"]	95
79	Washerwoman	"I don't know... further up the coast. She tried to leave quietly but the hinges on that door screech like a cat in heat -- woke me up. I heard her rushing in those heavy boots, heading up north."		80
80	Visual Calculus	It's a peninsula. She might be *trapped*.		251
81	Washerwoman			82 83
82	Washerwoman		IsHourBetween(21, 2)	769
83	Washerwoman		(IsHourBetween(21, 2)) == false	303
84	Washerwoman	The old woman still sits in her chair, continuing with her chores. As she does so, she quietly hums to herself.		104
85	You	"You're still up?"		86
86	Washerwoman	"Yes. I can't really sleep anymore. Only a few hours a night. It happens when you grow older..." She sloshes the water in the bucket around for a bit.		107
87	Washerwoman	She nods, rinsing another piece of cloth.		3
88	Washerwoman	"I won't charge you for it. Take it as a gesture of goodwill, from the village to the RCM."		30 35 127 649
89	You	"This place is pornographically poor."	Variable["village.ww_blackc_logic_poverty"]	163
90	You	"Later." [Leave.]		101
91	You	"I heard she was a heavy drinker with anger issues. You ever witness that kind of behaviour?"	Variable["whirling.klaasje_ruby_angry_drunk"] == true	92
92	Washerwoman	"Nothing of the sort." She shakes her head. "Sure, she was no stranger to the bottle... she fit in, that way. But I only knew her to have a beer on the beach while watching the sunset..."		248
93	Washerwoman	"She isn't what you'd call a *drunk*. Even offered me some, from time to time. Said it was part of the camionneur life. But I never saw her lose control of herself, the way some people do."		238
94	Washerwoman	"How would I know? She's a gruff one, but not violent. She doesn't go around toting a gun." She looks back toward her shack, thinking.		583
95	Washerwoman	"Not that I know of, though she was into nice music. She once showed me a few mixtape-milieus she'd made." She brushes her forehead with the back of her hand. Water drips to the ground.		246
96	Washerwoman	"Welcome to the fishing village." She opens her eyes. "Please lean in closer. I have cataracts."		745
97	You	Lean forward.		99
98	You	"Uh, what if I don't want to?"		100
99	Washerwoman	"Oh." A shadow passes over her face. "Welcome, police officer. We don't cause any trouble around here -- and we don't *want* any trouble either."		266
100	Washerwoman	"Tut, tut. Don't be shy now. It's going to be alright."		102 97 90
101	Washerwoman	"I won't be going anywhere." She side-eyes the bucket full of clothes.
102	You	"If you can't see, then how did you know I was here?"		103
103	Washerwoman	"I still have a golden ear. Come-come." She beckons you toward her.		97 98 90
104	Perception (Hearing)	The buzz of electric lights blends together with the slow rumble of ocean waves at night.		324
105	You	Don't bother her. [Leave.]		106
106	Washerwoman	She keeps humming, nodding her head back and forth to her unknown melody.
107	Washerwoman	"My suggestion is -- don't. Don't grow any older than you already are. That's old enough." She smiles. "What's troubling your mind?"		308
108	Washerwoman			109 110
109	Washerwoman		Variable["village.ww_altgreet_nighttime"]	303

114	Washerwoman	"Now it's your turn, mister...?"		115 803 804 116 117 118
115	You	"Uh... call me Harry."	Variable["tc.harry"] and Variable["tc.name_full_harrier"] == false	123
116	You	"My name is... Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau." (Sigh.)	Variable["tc.raphael_ambrosius_costeau"] or IsTHCPresent("detective_costeau")	121
117	You	"You can call me Tequila Sunset."	Variable["tc.tequila_sunset"]	120
118	You	"I lost my name."		119
119	Washerwoman	"These things happen occasionally. Don't worry, you'll find yourself once more."		658
120	Washerwoman	"Why would I do that? That's a fool's name. Are you a fool?" Her bony finger raises before you can speak. "Don't ridicule yourself before an old woman, officer. It's undignified."		451
121	Washerwoman	"Your parents must have had big plans for you." She pauses, measuring you up and down. "Wonder if you measured up?"		450
122	Washerwoman	"Quite a handle you got there." The old woman nods, with evident respect. "So many titles. One of them *double*."		452
123	Washerwoman	"Why, I guess I will, Harry. Aye, it just rolls off the tongue. I used to know a Harry. Strong lad, but dumb as a rock."		447
124	None			3
125	You	"How much is it?"		88
126	You	"Don't know if I can afford another place to stay."		88
127	You	"There's this guy -- Garte -- who makes me give him money *every night* just so I don't die out in the cold."		36
128	Washerwoman	"No one is using it and god knows it's not much anyway." She tilts her head on the side, pondering over something. "You can stay there."		35 127 649
129	Washerwoman	The old woman shrugs. "Or don't. It's your choice. No skin off my teeth."		32
130	None			39 40 41 42 43 34
131	You	"You got yourself a tenant!" (Get keys to your new home.)		133
132	You	"No, I don't want a free room, it's not proper." (Stay at Whirling-in-Rags.)		134
133	Washerwoman	"Don't make an old woman regret opening her house to the police." A key appears from under her apron. She hands it to you.		145
134	Washerwoman	"Suit yourself," she says, tucking some loose hair back under her shawl. "But should you ever need shelter, remember old Isobel and her shack by the sea."		135
135	None			3
136	Washerwoman	"Don't make this old women regret giving the police the key to her house." She takes out a key from under her apron and hands it to you. "Here."		138
137	You	"Actually, is that free room still available?"	Variable["village.ww_declined_shack"] == true and CheckItem("key_coast_home") == false	444
138	None			3
139	Washerwoman	"An uncomplicated man," she nods approvingly. "I take it that means you're interested?"		698
140	Washerwoman	"I can see that," she nods, a clever flicker in her eyes. "Everyone can see you think well of yourself. Now are you interested or not?"		698
141	Washerwoman	"You best not be plotting another revolution under my roof," she mumbles. "We barely got through the last one... But the room -- do you want it?"		698
142	Washerwoman	"Surely not the first one..." She looks you over, a clever smile on her lips. "So are you interested or not?"		698
143	Washerwoman	"Go ahead," she remarks sharply, "call people rude things. We've heard worse here. Now are you interested or not?"		698
144	Washerwoman	"Any day now." Her eyes turn to the sky. "I'm sure of it. Are you interested or not?"		691
145	Washerwoman			146 147
146	Washerwoman		IsKimHere()	148
147	Washerwoman		(IsKimHere()) == false	135
148	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well, if you're not in the hostel in the morning, I'll know where to find you." He looks around and adds: "Here. In a shack."		689
149	Washerwoman			150 151

152	None			3
153	You	"Oh, because you're blind, right."		154
154	Washerwoman	"He's a sharp one," she says to herself and runs her hand across the washboard.		67
155	Washerwoman	"Would you now?" She turns to him. "I know how this world works, and it doesn't work when people tell on each other."		643
156	Washerwoman	"I'm not going anywhere." Her features soften. "Perhaps there's something else the village can do for you, huh? Though we don't have much here -- just garbage. And a skiff or two..."		647
157	You	"Okay, but I'll be back later if I find anything *suspicious*."		156
158	You	"'I see. You know something, but you've decided not to tell us."		159
159	Washerwoman	"There's not much *to* tell. People come and go. Now, was there something else?"		480
160	You	"There's got to be *something* here. Tell me."		44
161	You	"What do you mean?"		162
162	Washerwoman	"This is pretty much a non-place." She grins. "A gap. A blank spot on the map, just a cluster of nameless shacks on a nameless street."		29
163	Washerwoman	"The lack of wealth is the one thing we've got in abundance." The woman smiles cryptically.		627
164	You	"That's what I thought."		171
165	Washerwoman			166 167
166	Washerwoman		IsKimHere()	168
167	Washerwoman		(IsKimHere()) == false	164 169
168	Kim Kitsuragi	"Riddles," the lieutenant marks dryly and looks around. "Fits with the general *ambience* here."		170
169	You	"That doesn't make any sense."		172
170	Washerwoman	"Aye." Her eyes grow wide with glee. "Sometimes it's as though I've also gotten lost inside this nameless nothing."		181 182
171	Washerwoman	"Then all's not lost," she replies, smoothing a wrinkle in her skirt. "As you can see, even in 'pornographic' poverty people make do..."		185
172	Washerwoman	"It's okay," she calms you. "What matters is we are still around. Still living our lives. Even in 'pornographic' poverty we make do..."		185
173	Washerwoman	"An old military hospital and its surroundings." She looks toward the buildings to the south. "Or it used to be, during the time of the Suzerain."		178
174	You	"The Pox? What's that?"		173
175	You	"It feels like I've heard the name somewhere, but tell me more."	Variable["tc.the_pox"]	173
176	You	"Alright, there's another topic I'd like to address."		187
177	Washerwoman	"Now the area is criss-crossed with nameless streets and makeshift cinderblock houses. Shacks as far as the eye can see."		179
178	Washerwoman	"After the war it was turned into a goodwill hospital for shell-shocked veterans and folks looking for some quiet in the old sanatorium gardens."		177
179	You	"What happened to the hospital?"		180
180	Washerwoman	"The good will ran out." She tightens the scarf around her neck. "The staff left and the place was shut down. It's long gone by now."		192
181	You	"I'm lost too."		183
182	You	"I'd really rather go back to talking about the village."		21
183	Washerwoman	"Oh?" Her expression betrays curiosity. "It seems to be a common theme these days."		188 189 182
184	None			50
185	Washerwoman	"At least those who remain..." She falls silent and turns to look over her shoulder, as though looking for someone.		445
186	None			50
187	None			87
188	You	"I think I'm in the process of finding myself again."		190
189	You	"Maybe I should stay lost. Just move here and... disappear completely."		191
190	Washerwoman	"Isn't that what people always think when they're lost?" A fleeting smirk runs across her lips. "Something *I* can do to help you find your way, officer?"		628
191	Washerwoman	"Maybe," she says with unnerving calm. "It would be easy. But right now you want something from me, right?"		628
192	None			50
193	Washerwoman	"And then there's the drunks..." She sighs. "Not a pretty sight, but there's little we can do about it. Home is home, even for them."		563
194	Washerwoman	"I'm sure you did," she says with a peculiar smile and nods. "Nature keeps them in rotation. A new face pops up every now and then and an old one disappears and is forgotten. This is who we are."		629
195	None			50
196	None			50
197	You	"I'm not really interested in town drunks, but thanks."	(Variable["village.abigail_greeting_done"] == false and Variable["village.idiot_greeting_done"] == false and Variable["village.rosemary_made_it_to_main_hub"] == false) and Variable["village.netpicker_greeting_done"] == false	198
198	Washerwoman	She nods and raises her unseeing eyes. "What are you interested in then?"		199
199	None			50
200	Washerwoman	"Not much..." She replies and wipes her forehead. "There's the abandoned church -- the Dolorian Church of Humanity. It's been there since before my time even."		201
201	You	"Why is it abandoned?"		25
202	You	"Okay, thanks, I've heard enough."		203
203	None			87
204	Washerwoman	"And now *suspicious*-looking people are sneaking around the church. I don't like that."		636
205	Washerwoman	"I don't know exactly. A pre-war place. It used to be something." She shrugs. "Before the war. I wasn't here then, you know. Was born in Samara."		58 202
206	You	"Who'd want to come to a fishmarket here?"		60
207	Washerwoman	"Now what catch we *do* bring in goes straight into a lorry for the Delta or somewhere else."		61 641
208	Washerwoman	"What, you're one of those real-estate people with big plans? If you want a development opportunity, you can check out the abandoned building over at Land's End."		209
209	Washerwoman	"Used to be a supply depot... we think. Sending goods and ammo across the bay. It's jammed shut, though. We tried to get in, see if there was anything to sell or scavenge, but it's impossible."		753
210	None			3
211	Composure	And without anger. A long and harsh life has taught her not to buckle under pressure.		576

717	Savoir Faire	Under carts, boats, in little boxes. It's not hard to find.		630
718	You	"Enough about Ruby, I had other questions..."	Variable["TASK.ruby_not_village_explore_peninsula"]	719

721	Volition	Hell yeah!		722

732	You	"Yeah, I'll wait."		736
733	You	"No, not right now."		734

736	Washerwoman	"Well, hand it over then and I'll see what I can do..."		740

750	Horrific Necktie	Finally you have those *lamos* of Martinaise off your back, bratan. This looks like a great place to bring chicks.		697
751	Shivers	Between here and Jamrock, a dusty sea of old trees, all covered in industrial soot. Small houses under them, an overgrown park...		174 175
752	Inland Empire	Perhaps the mysterious music is somehow connected to the case? A rusálka, or a half-demonic *apsara*, singing...		55 202
753	Interfacing	Nothing is *impossible*, surely.		62
754	Logic	Ruby was here. You know it.		573
755	Rhetoric	In her mind, the Union is right wing because Evrart is fat. It's that simple and there's no changing it.		373

761	Kim Kitsuragi	"You didn't put it there, did you? *She* did."		519
762	Drama	The truth, sire.		221
763	Suggestion	She wanted to talk to her, as they usually do. But she was brooding.		634
764	You	"This..." (Spread your hands.)		252
765	Physical Instrument	Not a quitter. Like you sometimes get, son.		591
766	Endurance	No. You can do it. You still have plenty of juice in you before you drop.		767
767	Perception (Sight)	Behind the cinderblock houses, old pre-war ruins rise to the sky like dark palaces. The wind calls.		579

778	You	"Any idea how the twins could have heard Speedfreaks FM?"		781
779	Washerwoman	"I told you before! No, there has been no listening to the radio. Not last week, not in the weeks before."		789

784	Esprit de Corps	The lieutenant, elsewhere in Revachol, runs a finger over the rough mesh of a stereo. He is deep in thought. He needs to be here for this.		791
