2 | Gaston Martin | "*Mon dieu*," the jolly man exclaims. "Good job, officer. That was an excellent throw!" |
|
|
3 | You | "Perfect throw? Well, I still feel defeated." |
|
|
4 | You | "That's just how Johnny Ballgame is -- extraordinary." |
|
|
5 | René Arnoux | "Right," the old soldier says slowly. "Was the demonstration *it*, or do you still need something from us, officer?" |
|
|
6 | René Arnoux | "You vandalized our game, son." He tries to calm himself. "We can't play pétanque with five *boules*." |
|
|
7 | Hand/Eye Coordination | This felt... wrong. Wrong like touching your sister's breast. You threw your sister's breast. |

|
|
12 | You | "Not a weak right triceps, that's for sure." |
|
|
13 | Electrochemistry | God, this is right -- you feel the familiar tremble of excitement and adrenaline that precedes every victory. Time has frozen. |
|
|
14 | René Arnoux | "I don't care if you are a cop -- you *do not* just ruin someone's game. It's so goddamn disrespectful!" |
|
|
15 | You | "Wait... what?" |
|
|
16 | You | "Don't be a sore loser, it's still a fair game between you two. Second place is a podium position." | Variable["plaza.rene_godoftrackandfield"] == true |
|
17 | You | "I'm sensing anger. And I don't understand why." |
|
|
18 | René Arnoux | "Your guess is as good as mine, officer. Maybe you're just one of those men who's never satisfied with anything?" He shrugs. "Regardless, what do you need from us?" |

22 | René Arnoux | "Spring slush on bare feet can make a man feel like a failure." He points at your naked toes. "For a reason. Now, do you need something from us?" |
|
|
23 | Gaston Martin | "What are you talking about? You just executed a pretty much perfect pétanque throw!" His tone is full of admiration. |
|
|
24 | René Arnoux | "How are you ever going to get the officer's shit off your nose, Gaston? Or even climb out of his ass?" He shakes his head in extreme disdain. |

26 | You | Let go. Be the ball. (Continue.) |
|
|
27 | You | Take in the surroundings. |
|
|
28 | Visual Calculus | It wasn't *merde*. The shot was at least 23 metres. Probably 24 and then some. Nothing to be embarrassed about. |
|
|
29 | Hand/Eye Coordination | Already your muscles are adjusting to the weight, the nervous system calibrating, until you and the ball have merged into a single entity. The *manball* is ready. |

33 | Hand/Eye Coordination | An embodiment of pure motion. A fine-tuned *locomotor* running at maximum efficiency. |

39 | Hand/Eye Coordination | A chilly breeze ruffles your hair as you stand there, feet firmly planted. All sounds, smells, even the wind -- everything fades until the only thing left is the union of Man and Ball. |
|
|
40 | René Arnoux | "Probably because those rooster pants are squeezing you senseless. What ever happened to practical? Durable? Revachol-made?" He shakes his head. "Now what can I do for you?" |

45 | You | "I'm a god of track and field. Why would I have a problem with anything?" | Variable["plaza.rene_putshot_physint_feeble_geezer"] == true |
|
46 | Hand/Eye Coordination | You are immediately surprised by the ball's lack of weight. No matter. You'll make it work. |
|
|
47 | You | Hold on, why *did* it feel so wrong? |
|
|
48 | You | "The throw was terrible and you know it. No need to mock me." |
|
|
49 | You | "The damn ball was slippery as fuck! How do you expect me to throw this piece of *shit* when it's got old man spunk all over, Mossback?!" | Variable["plaza.rene_putshot_fail_halflight_use_swear_words"] == true |

55 | René Arnoux | The man in the uniform says nothing. His gaze is fixed on the horizon. |
|
|
56 | Gaston Martin | His merry partner is staring at the ground like he's trying to see right through to the other side. |

|
|
61 | Perception (Hearing) | Everything has gone very quiet. It seems as even the waves have ceased their crashing against the promenade. It feels heavy. |
|
|
62 | René Arnoux | "*Merde*!" the old soldier yells in outrage. "*Bordel de merde*!!!" |

69 | Half Light | Mossback and his shitty ball are mocking you. You need to get angry. Use swear-words. Mention *spunk*. |
|
|
70 | Hand/Eye Coordination | Something about it was completely unnatural. Corrupted. Your muscle memory knew what to do and went for it, but there were gaps... |
|
|
71 | Physical Instrument | Yeah! Gaps you tried to fill with *thinking*. We don't *think* in sports. We *DO*! |
|
|
72 | Hand/Eye Coordination | It felt like you were going for a thrust or a lunge -- there was definitely gonna be jumping. Maybe you scored a point, but this is a *fiasco*. |
|
|
73 | Composure | Look who's talking -- that cockatoo uniform must give him a real advantage. When fighting in *the circus*. |
|
|
74 | Hand/Eye Coordination | The cold metal ball is surprisingly smooth against your neck. It has a pattern on it. (Probably a sponsored ball.) Yours would only be covered with bumps of learning and scars of victory. |
|
|
75 | Shivers | West, in the Grand Couron Arena, a sharp overhand left from Arsène-Luc Edelbrock, sends the Samaran heavyweight champion, Kostya 'Mjasnok' Koštunica, flying to the mat. The crowd goes wild. Revachol loves her heroes. |
|
|
76 | Physical Instrument | Behold the fear and confusion reflecting in the eyes of the two feeble geezers -- they are in awe of your superiority. You are a God to them. |
|
|
77 | You | "Oh, pétanque, I understand..." |
|
|
78 | René Arnoux | "No, no you don't! Our pétanque game is ruined!" He's getting angry again. "We want our *boule* back." |
|
|
79 | You | "I thought it was shot-put." |
|
|
80 | René Arnoux | "Well, it damn well isn't, it's pétanque," the man snaps, raising his voice again. "You ruined a pétanque game. We want our *boule* back!" |
|
|
81 | You | "Sorry, an honest mistake. Are we good?" |
|
|
82 | René Arnoux | "Yes, pétanque," the man says, raising his voice again. "You ruined our pétanque game. We want our *boule* back." |
|
|
83 | René Arnoux | "No, we are not *good*, goddamnit!" A vein on his forehead is bulging alarmingly. "We want our *boule* back!" |
|
|
84 | You | "Pee-tank?" | Variable["plaza.rene_encyc_know_petanque"] == false |
|
85 | You | "Okay, I will try to fix this." (Accept the task.) | CheckItem("shotput_ball") == false |
|
86 | René Arnoux | "Good." He nods. "Mistakes are forgiven, when men at least *try* to right their wrongs. I believe you will try. Now why did you approach us?" |
|
|
87 | René Arnoux | "A fine example you are setting here today, officer." He says, slowly shaking his head. "I will remember this. And Gaston will too." |
|
|
88 | You | "Listen, guys, the ball is gone, and I have a murder to solve, alright?" (Refuse task.) |
|
|
89 | Gaston Martin | "It's okay, officer. Forgotten completely. It was my *boule* and I have a spare." He produces another ball from his pocket. "Everything is good and we're ready to assist any way we can!" |

|
|
99 | René Arnoux | "Of course there's harm done, you orange slug!" The heel of his cavalry boot slams in the ground. "You owe us a goddamn *boule*!" |

118 | Logic | You never know, he *might* know something. This is a good vantage point. |
