  • Character: the character speaking or acting.
  • Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
  • Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
  • Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

10 Physical Instrument Force time isn't happening. You've jammed the prybar under the lid but it just isn't bending.
  • 13
11 Physical Instrument You stick the prybar into the fissure beneath the lid and push down. It doesn't take much force -- with a satisfying *crack,* the metal gives way. You can open the lid now.

132 Trash Container Among the threadbare kitchen towels, something catches your eye -- a pair of denim trousers?
  • 216
133 Perception (Smell) Are these the victim's clothes? The smell is not nearly as bad as the cadaver. These clothes could not have been in contact with the deceased for more than two days after his death.
  • 135
134 Kim Kitsuragi "Cadaverine odour is faint." The lieutenant smells them. "If these belonged to the deceased, they were removed when he was still in the early stages of decay."

  • 140
140 Kim Kitsuragi "The belt is missing. That's it. Do you see anything else in there? I have another bag here..."
  • 465

  • 146
146 You Bag the shirt.
  • 147
147 Kim Kitsuragi "This is a military type over-garment. No label or serial number -- this is the kind of rib-knit shirt that's worn over light armour to conceal it in an urban scenario..." He nods to himself. "Anything more?"
  • 414
148 Perception (Sight) The rest of the rags are just kitchen-variety waste. A yellow old mug that catches your eye. But other than that...

  • 81
157 Kim Kitsuragi "Alright. We should go to Garte again and ask if he knows who put the clothes in the trash. It could be as simple as someone from the hostel cleaning the yard, or *that* one..." He nods toward the red-haired boy behind him. "I'd advise *against* confronting that force."

167 You "Okay." (Proceed.)

  • 232
211 Kim Kitsuragi "I don't know either..." He points to the ruined notes. "You should take stock of your notes, make sure it's all there. Official notes contain informants' names. If some have fallen into the hands of the RCM's adversaries, bloodletting may well ensue."
  • 232
212 Kim Kitsuragi "Officer, this is an official piece of paperwork. It probably contains notes on *numerous* ongoing investigations -- and could even list undercover operatives. Informants. I suggest integrating it into your *style*. For all our sakes."
  • 233
213 Kim Kitsuragi "Well..." He doesn't know what to say.
  • 278
214 Kim Kitsuragi "Lucky we found it. You should take stock of what remains, just to be sure some has not made it into the hands of the RCM's adversaries. Organized crime and the like. There might have been police secrets in your notes."
  • 232
215 Kim Kitsuragi "Boring? Try *dangerous*. You should do a thorough inventory of that -- be sure some has not fallen into the hands of the RCM's enemies: organized crime, or worse... Official notes sometimes contain informants' names, even undercover operatives."
