| 2 | Noid | "So you had a talk with Andre, and now you want to discuss things with Noid? Good." Skin shows through the holes in the speedfreak's too-large sweater. In front of him -- an open toolbox full of carpentry tools and parts. |
|
|
| 3 | Noid | "It's good you talked to Andre first. Gave me time to get a reading on your *sine*. Can't really talk to people before you get a reading." He runs his hand through his hair, which is combed back in mock seriousness, and continues to fiddle with some gears. |
|
|
| 4 | You | "You look like a woman with those earrings." | Variable["ice.noid_earrings_blackc"] == true |
|
| 5 | None |
|
||
| 6 | Noid | Noid shakes to the beat. There are no tools in his hands at the moment. He appears to ignore you. |
|
|
| 7 | You | "Okay, I'll speak to Andre." [Leave.] |
|
|
| 8 | Noid | "Yes. But that's what makes it an achievement." |
|
|
| 9 | You | "Why are you so suspicious about everything?" | Variable["church.ravers_inside_church"] == true |
|
| 10 | Noid | "It's short for *paranoid*." |
|
|
| 11 | You | "My head is spinning. It's hard to keep up with the times." |
|
|
| 12 | Noid | "It is." |
|
|
| 13 | None |
|
||
| 14 | Noid | "Many non-Occidental cultures share a beat at their heart. Thus, they are closer to true, hard core life. There's just never been enough of them, and they had to rely on some extremely basic percussion." |
|
|
| 15 | You | "What if I want to speak to you first?" |
|
|
| 16 | You | "Seems awesome." (Nod in agreaance.) |
|
|
| 17 | None |
|
||
| 18 | You | No need to get over-excited about it right now. Where were you? |
|
|
| 19 | Noid | "A sticker... you mean the yellow one? Can you describe it to me?" |
|
|
| 20 | You | "I mean this one." (Show the sticker on your ledger.) | Variable["inventory.sticker_on_ledger"] == true |
|
| 21 | Noid | "Oh wow! Right on your cop ledger! You like it?" |
|
|
| 22 | Noid |
|

| 23 | Noid | Variable["ice.noid_kipts"] |
|
|
| 24 | Noid | (Variable["ice.noid_kipts"]) == false |
|
|
| 25 | You | "It's this one, are you familiar with it?" (Show him the sticker inside the ledger.) | Variable["inventory.sticker_in_ledger"] == true |
|
| 26 | You | "Yeah, it's cool." |
|
|
| 27 | None |
|
||
| 28 | You | "It's super stupid, that's what it is. I think it reminded me of myself." |
|
|
| 29 | Noid | Just like that the speedfreak is right in your face, his eyes burning. His comrades look on worriedly. |
|
|
| 30 | You | "It's very modern. I'd like to learn more about it." | Variable["church.churchdoor_understood_modernity"] == true or Variable["ice.andre_conceptualized_hair"] == true |
|
| 31 | Conceptualization | Lord of the western plain! It is really happening, right here, the migrants are contaminating our youth! |
|
|
| 32 | Noid | "Seems like my creation has found its way into the legal bureaucracy. What did you want to ask about it?" |
|
|
| 33 | You | "Okay. It's a yellow circle -- the human face -- with X-es for eyes and a smile underneath. I think the X-es mean the guy is dead." |
|
|
| 34 | Noid | He considers this for a moment. "Yeah, that interpretation holds." |
|
|
| 35 | You | "Why describe it, if you already know what I mean? |
|
|
| 36 | Noid | "Maybe you're being too specific about it. Try consulting with your spinal cord." |
|
|
| 37 | Noid | "So I can hear you do it. Sometimes the outside gaze helps us reflect on things." |
|
|
| 38 | Andre | "Noid, don't bother our guest with your games." |
|
|
| 39 | You | "That was vague. Dedication, something else, superlative..." |
|
|
| 40 | Noid | "Piss off, Andre, me and Mr. Cop are trying to discuss art." |
|
|
| 41 | Andre | "You shouldn't talk like that." |
|
|
| 42 | Noid | "Happy to help." |
|
|
| 43 | You | "Yeah, you should be more respectful." |
|
|
| 44 | Noid | "So you had a talk with Andre, and now you want to discuss things with Noid?" He's stooped over his toolbox as usual, shuffling bolts around angrily. |
|
|
| 45 | You | "I don't mind a little foul language here and there." |
|
|
| 46 | None |
|
||
| 47 | Noid | "Right, noted, sorry. Anyway, what was it like?" |
|
|
| 48 | Noid | "Cool. The ban on foulness, that's the moralists' plot to alienate us from our bodily functions so they can control us more fully..." |
|
|
| 49 | You | "Thank you for clearing that up." |
|
|
| 50 | Noid | "Anyhow, what was the sticker like?" |
|
|
| 51 | None |
|
||
| 52 | You | "Take care, Noid." [Leave.] |
|
|
| 53 | You | Produce your ledger and show him the sticker. | Variable["inventory.sticker_on_ledger"] == true |
|
| 54 | None |
|
||
| 55 | You | Produce your ledger and show him the sticker. | Variable["inventory.sticker_in_ledger"] == true |
|
| 56 | You | "I'm thinking maybe the smiling dead guy is a symbol for communism. It's also dead, but doesn't care." | IsTHCPresent("communist") |
|
| 57 | None |
|
||
| 58 | Empathy | An off-handed *sorry* if there ever was one. |
|
|
| 59 | You | "The term *hard core* also denotes a strain of pornography that depicts penetration, did you know that?" | Variable["ice.noid_penetration"] == true |
|
| 60 | Egg Head | "Yeah!" |
|
|
| 61 | Noid | "That's a pretty hard core coincidence, don't you think?" |
|
|
| 62 | You | "I'm not telling. Let me ask you something else." |
|
|
| 63 | Noid | "C'mon. Okay, then." He looks surprised and a bit disappointed. "You don't have to describe it. What did you want to know about the sticker?" |
|
|
| 64 | Noid | "You know what I think? I think *man*, *woman*, and *child* are arbitrary divisions which serve to bind humanity to serfdom." |
|
|
| 65 | None |
|
||
| 66 | You | "Let's change the subject. |
|
|
| 67 | None |
|
||
| 68 | None |
|
||
| 69 | Noid | "I guess one could write an entire treatise on the thing. But what for?" |
|
|
| 70 | Suggestion | The one with the bleached hair is not really pulling rank on his friend here. He's just trying to create the impression of himself as a reasonable, moderate leader figure. |
|
|
| 71 | You | "I think we've exhausted the subject for now." |
|
|
| 72 | You | "What are you suspicious of?" |
|
|
| 73 | Noid | "Oh, it'd be easier to list stuff I'm not suspicious of. I'm not suspicious of sound and colour. Mechanics and chemistry also have a trueness about them. Most anything else deceives. Wants to steal your life away." |
|
|
| 74 | You | "You mentioned *true life*. What would that be like?" | Variable["ice.noid_truelife"] == true |
|
| 75 | You | "And what are the *most* suspicious things?" |
|
|
| 76 | None |
|
||
| 77 | Noid | "A life is true if it's free from fear and internal division among oneself. And others -- mankind has seeds of greatness in it. A germinal will come, a return to trueness. It will be hard core." |
|
|
| 78 | None |
|
||
| 79 | Noid | "Hey, it kind of *does* look like you." He thinks for a moment. "Surely a sign of things to come. What did you want to ask about it?" |
|
|
| 80 | Noid | "The original mistake was assuming that words have more being than bodies. That's what led us astray, far from our true lives. But we may yet find a way back." |
|
|
| 81 | You | "That's ridiculous." |
|
|
| 82 | You | "Alright, I'll do that." |
|
|
| 83 | None |
|
||
| 84 | You | "What's bad about cereal grain? Having enough food could be a precursor for greater things." |
|
|
| 85 | Noid | "Yes, having food is a means to an end. But the Left never talks about the end, only the means. Caps are likewise suckers, constantly sleepless in worry." |
|
|
| 86 | Noid | "Talk to Andre. No point in standing here -- the sines are really out of tune." He glances at the others. |
|
|
| 87 | You | "How would you go about *returning* to this true life?" |
|
|
| 88 | Noid | "Beats and bright lights to shatter falsehoods. Nerve impulses for the collective body. We are very much alike in basic structure. A hard enough beat would awaken everyone to a truer calling -- in unity!" |
|
|
| 89 | Noid | "They'll come in handy for fixing the church exterior." |
|
|
| 90 | Empathy | The young man is dead serious about this. |
|
|
| 91 | You | "What's it supposed to be?" |
|
|
| 92 | You | "So you're advocating a noise-based society?" |
|
|
| 93 | Noid | "These are my consumer items and my means of production. I enjoy them." |
|
|
| 94 | You | "What do you do with all that stuff?" |
|
|
| 95 | You | "I should have known! You're taking after the kipts, that's why you're so wacky!" |
|
|
| 96 | Andre | "Enough now, Noid, you have had enough fun bothering our guest with your crazy theories. Leave him alone." |
|
|
| 97 | Noid | "I'd have a whole lot more stuff if I had a place where I could keep that stuff." |
|
|
| 98 | Noid | "A dead guy smiling." |
|
|
| 99 | You | "Well, that was certainly stimulating. I want to ask you about something else now." |
|
|
| 100 | Noid | It's a bit hypnotizing if you look at it long enough. |
|
|
| 101 | Noid | His eyes flicker. |
|
|
| 102 | None |
|
||
| 103 | You | "You have a whole lot of stuff." |
|
|
| 104 | Noid | "Utmost dedication. Thoughts from the spinal cord. It's a potent superlative as well." |
|
|
| 105 | Noid | "You're right, it's the harbinger of a new era. What would you like to know?" |
|
|
| 106 | You | Nod. |
|
|
| 107 | Composure | Noid is a bit disappointed it's *just* cool. |
|
|
| 108 | Encyclopedia | Rejection of the right-left axis, emphasis on *unity*, appreciation of some primordial mode of being -- what does that remind you of? |
|
|
| 109 | Noid | "I have all kinds of screws." He holds up a handful. |
|
|
| 110 | You | "Sort of like fascism then?" | Variable["ice.noid_fascism"] == true |
|
| 111 | Noid | "Nationalism, militarism, racism, and emphasis on a leader character are totally absent in *hard core*." The words echo through the church majestically. |
|
|
| 112 | Noid | The contents of the young man's toolbox are organized in a neat, yet eclectic manner. He is constantly checking out the various tools and parts and rearranging them slightly... |
|
|
| 113 | You | "Fair enough. Just making an observation." |
|
|
| 114 | You | "I didn't mean it as a bad thing." |
|
|
| 115 | You | Just stand there and observe him. | Variable["ice.noid_suggestion"] == true |
|
| 116 | Noid | He picks up a wrench and scratches his head with it, unaroused by fascism. |
|
|
| 117 | None |
|
||
| 118 | Noid | "It is cool. But it's also more than that. *Much* more." |
|
|
| 119 | Suggestion | Maybe you should just stand there, watch him rattle his toolbox. Get to know *his* 'sine.' |
|
|
| 120 | None |
|
||
| 121 | Noid | "I suck at socializing, man. If you go speak to Andre, I'll have time to *tune in*. Get a reading on your *sine*." Before he's finished talking, he's already turned back to his tools. |
|
|
| 122 | Noid | "Good, good." He likes what he's hearing. "What did you want to know?" |
|
|
| 123 | You | "I saw a sticker on the padlock. Can you tell me anything about it?" | Variable["church.churchdoor_inspected_sticker"] == true |
|
| 124 | You | "And what does it mean? Why is the dead guy smiling?" |
|
|
| 125 | Noid | "He defeated History. We are living in the age of History, and in the eyes of History we are always already dead. How can we ever smile, then? Because History is a lie, and so are its deaths..." |
|
|
| 126 | Noid | "The present moment and life are the hard core. The hard core expels death." |
|
|
| 127 | Noid | He thinks. "Or maybe he's not dead, maybe he's just really ecstatic about the beats." |
|
|
| 128 | Electrochemistry | Or drugged out of his mind, come to think of it. |
|
|
| 129 | None |
|
||
| 130 | You | "He could also be drugged out of his mind." | Variable["ice.noid_drugged"] == true |
|
| 131 | Noid | "Or drunk, or in a clinical coma, or glad to be dead, but those versions suck." |
|
|
| 132 | You | "What makes the sticker so modern?" | Variable["church.churchdoor_understood_modernity"] == true or Variable["ice.andre_conceptualized_hair"] == true |
