2 Knick-knacks Stand You see rows of toy soldiers guarding the rest of the trinkets displayed on the table: some on horseback, others in rags, others yet in bright blue uniforms. All are stern and unyielding in their duty.

  • 37
14 Knick-knacks Stand Big men on big horses clad in lamellar armour and carrying flintlocks. The kind that would mow down a line of enemy soldiers in the blink of an eye.

21 You "These are Franconigerian cavalry, right?"
  • 22
22 Bird's Nest Roy "Yes!" The man behind the glass takes says. "A little worn around the edges, but I'm pretty sure it's fully intact."
  • 70
23 You "Shopkeep, what are these?"
  • 34
24 Interfacing Why, what's this? A headless man riding a horse? A headless man wearing futuristic track suit trousers that say FALN!
  • 60
25 You "What is this?" (Show it to the shopkeep.)
  • 26
26 Bird's Nest Roy "Oh, that's the Headless FALN Rider."
  • 28
  • 27
27 You "Of course." (Nod knowingly.)
  • 29
28 You "*Who*?"
  • 30
29 Bird's Nest Roy "There's been a lot of *interest* in that particular figurine. I had to hide it so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands."
  • 89
30 Bird's Nest Roy "The Headless FALN Rider. It's an urban legend -- about a man who rides the streets of Revachol sporting a FALN tracksuit. As you can see, he's missing his head." He points at the decapitated figurine.

34 Bird's Nest Roy "A classic set. The figurines represent the Fifth-century Franconigerian Cavalry."
  • 70
35 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant studies the tiny figurine in your hand. "I've heard about it," he says with amusement, "I've heard the Headless FALN Rider rides a headless bull."
  • 36
36 Bird's Nest Roy "Yes, there are several competing versions of the story, but I believe this figurine is a more canonical representation."
  • 57
37 Bird's Nest Roy "Did I mention that this figurine is supposed to be lucky? Always carry it with you." He grins.

40 Knick-knacks Stand They're not all blue. These figurines also wear gold coats and caps, complimented by orange trousers. They are variously posed, wielding swords and rifles with bayonets.

41 Knick-knacks Stand This set of soldiers isn't meant to look impressive. A few have rifles, but most of them carry pistols -- some even shovels and tall sticks.
  • 47
42 You (Point at the blue figurines.) "What exactly are these?" Variable["tc.revolution"] == false
  • 44
43 You (Point at the blue figurines.) "Are these royalist soldiers?" Variable["tc.revolution"] == true
  • 45
44 Bird's Nest Roy "Which ones?" The man peers from his glass box. "Ah! Royalist soldiers from the time of the Revolution. The uniforms are painted a bit too brightly, I suppose."
  • 46
45 Bird's Nest Roy "Which ones?" The man peers from his glass box. "Ah, those! Yes, they are. I find the paint job a bit gaudy, but children like bright colours indiscriminately."
  • 46
46 None
  • 3
47 You (Point at the figurines in rags.) "Are these even soldiers?"
  • 48
48 Bird's Nest Roy "You're probably talking about the revolutionaries, yes?" the man behind the glass answers. "Yes -- they are soldiers. Revolutionary soldiers."
  • 49
49 Bird's Nest Roy "I think their poverty has been exaggerated for effect. When you place them next to the royalists, it doesn't seem like they could possibly win."

  • 85
  • 86
50 You "It's meant to give people hope -- even *we* can do it."
  • 52
51 You "The contrast is meant to be disheartening. As it ought to be."
  • 53
52 Bird's Nest Roy "Maybe."
  • 54
53 Bird's Nest Roy "I don't like either set very much, to be honest, but there are many parents among my customers."
  • 54
54 Inland Empire He seems to have his own take on the conflict played out in perpetuity by these toys. Might be interesting to find out what it is...

56 You "What do you mean?"

63 You "The Headless FALN Rider!"
  • 64
64 Bird's Nest Roy "Indeed." He immediately knows what you're talking about. "I think I even have his cap somewhere down here..." He looks for it. "A tiny miniature FALN cap to go with it. Yours for 50 cents."

  • 77
77 Kim Kitsuragi "Franconigerian knights." He looks at the dusty figurines in the dim light. "I used to be very serious about these guys."
  • 79
78 Kim Kitsuragi "Mhm. I used to be very serious about my Franconigerian knights..." He looks at the dusty figurines in the dim light.

83 Kim Kitsuragi "This is what the loyalists looked like, yes." He inspects the figurine. "At first. Then they wised up and got camouflage."
  • 42
  • 43
84 Knick-knacks Stand That they do -- the uniforms are precisely the same. Some even have the same shape medals pinned to their chests.

  • 53
87 Bird's Nest Roy "Okay." He doesn't bat an eye. "I don't like either set too much, to be honest."
  • 54
88 Rhetoric He doesn't elaborate on what that means -- it's unlikely that he will.
  • 66
89 Rhetoric He doesn't elaborate on these 'wrong hands' -- it's unlikely that he ever will.
  • 31
90 Bird's Nest Roy "Fifty cents. Bargain-priced! I'll throw in the tiny cap too -- I think he's looking for it, or something. That part of the story has many interpretations."
  • 91
91 Logic He lost his cap when he lost his head. Perhaps he's looking for the *head*?
