14 Kim Kitsuragi "Looks like it. I'm guessing Martinaise North 22 used to be a pinball arcade before it became a hostel. There are machines left over..." He taps his foot.

22 You "Whirling-in-Rags was once the East Delta Pinball arcade. This is all left over from that."
  • 46
23 Kim Kitsuragi "Ah, yes -- as the novelty dicemaker said." He makes a note in his notebook. "This has absolutely nothing to do with the case, I'm sure. But I do like a nice little *connection*."

24 You "Could this mean the Whirling-in-Rags really *is* part of the Doomed Commercial Area?" (Variable["tc.doomed_commercial_area"] or Variable["XP.pinball_dicemaker"]) and Variable["whirling.pinball_used_to_be_workshop"] == true

25 Kim Kitsuragi "If that's true then our *cafeteria manager* is not going to like it." He looks around. "We should tell him what we found up here -- *omitting* that suspicion."

44 Logic And it has been forgotten. Now, there is only one working machine in the main hall -- the rest is lost to dust.
  • 17
45 Logic As the Dicemaker said, yes; it all fits. Not that it has anything to do with the case, but it is a nice connection!

54 Logic Stupid superstition. But still -- it would be *interesting* to see what the cafeteria manager thinks of this...
  • 55
55 Inland Empire It's not a ghost story. It's a curse -- and Garte ought be made knowledgeable so he can perform counter-spells.
