11	Cindy the SKULL	"I'm Cindy the fucking SKULL -- what else do you want to know? Date of birth? Blood type? The last time I was tested for Hep C?"		412
12	Cindy the SKULL	She wrinkles her nose. "I ain't no snitch, pigstein. Go forth and forage in someone else's shit. No shortage of squealers in these parts."		109
13	You	"Let's start with your blood type and go from there."		17
14	You	"I just want to know your name, little lady. No need to get defensive."		20
15	You	"Just answer some questions okay?"		21
16	Cindy the SKULL	"Will you look at that! He's not just a pig, he's also a dog. Ain't got no bones for you, doggie." Despite the sass, she puts the brush aside and turns to you.		305

21	Cindy the SKULL	"Ask away, pig man, but I don't promise to answer." Despite the sass, she puts the brush aside.		305
22	You	"Don't use that tone with me. I am the law."		23
23	Cindy the SKULL	"Sod off, pig man. Art is above the law." Despite the sass, she puts the brush aside.		305
24	Kim Kitsuragi	"Go where? Accosting a minor?"		25
25	Cindy the SKULL	"Listen to your partner, pig man. Keep your grubby hooves off little old ladies." Despite the attitude, she puts the brush aside.		305
26	Cindy the SKULL	She nods disdainfully toward the woman performing maintenance on the boat docked next to the pier.		151
27	Cindy the SKULL	She hisses: "That Ozonne whore. *Someone's* gotta keep an eye on her."		215
28	Cindy the SKULL	"Can't you tell? I'm painting a beautiful mural. An aero-graffito visible from low orbit..."		34

41	You	"I think they're afraid of you."		43
42	You	"Maybe it's just SKULL solidarity."		43
43	Cindy the SKULL	"They'll never be SKULLS. But..." She softens. "But their hearts are in the right place."		88

54	Cindy the SKULL	"On a first-name basis with her, are we? Piggy's moving up in the world."		57 58 59
55	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. We should go talk to her." He nods in her direction. "She's a professional negotiator, though. I have the feeling she will be very cooperative -- while telling us nothing."		65
56	Kim Kitsuragi	"Probably the Wild Pines rep. We should talk to her." He nods in her direction. "She's a professional negotiator, though. I have the feeling she will be very cooperative -- while telling us nothing."		65
57	You	"Hold on. What's Ozonne?"	Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_caillou_island"] == false	64
58	You	"Why all the negativity?"		61
59	You	"Yeah, I don't like her either."		63
60	Encyclopedia	Ozonne is an archipelago two days' travel away from Revachol. Its moneyed residents, used to posh restaurants and upscale boutiques, rarely have reason to visit Martinaise.		47
61	Cindy the SKULL	"Have you got a crush on her? Aching for an opportunity to defend her honour?"		62
62	None			6
63	Cindy the SKULL	She gives you a stately nod of approval. "Pig's not half as dumb as he looks."		62
64	Cindy the SKULL	"It's where they grow whores like her, and their whore men."		58 59
65	Kim Kitsuragi	"You should take the lead, ask her unexpected questions -- you know, do your thing. Don't be afraid to get a bit *wacky*. Throwing her off is our best bet."		66
66	Cindy the SKULL	"Good idea, piggies. Run along now, fuck her shit up good. Impound that boat while you're at it. I'd like to watch her *swim* back to Ozonne."		67
67	None			6
68	Cindy the SKULL	She gives you a stately nod of approval. "Pig's not half as dumb as he looks."		74
69	You	"Yeah, I don't like her either."		68

71	Cindy the SKULL	"Have you got a crush on her? Aching for an opportunity to defend her honour?"		74
72	Cindy the SKULL	"On a first-name basis with her, are we? Piggy's moving up in the world."		75 70 69
73	Cindy the SKULL	"It's where they grow whores like that one over there, and their whore men."		70 69
74	None			6
75	You	"Hold on. What's Ozonne?"	Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_caillou_island"] == false	73
76	Cindy the SKULL	"Madame Professional Negotiator in the flesh -- and the flimsy linen." She narrows her eyes. "Something morbid about old ladies trying to look young."		78
77	Cindy the SKULL	"Isn't it part of your job to know all the illustrious personages 'round this shithole? She's the Wild Pines representative. Madame Professional Negotiator in the flesh -- and the flimsy linen. "		85
78	Conceptualization	That's rich coming from a young girl dressed up like a granny.		79

83	You	"Aren't you a young lady trying to look old?"		84
84	Cindy the SKULL	"Oh, but that's the way it should be. The natural order of things."		82
85	Cindy the SKULL	Her eyes narrow to slits. "Something morbid about old ladies trying to look young."		78
86	You	"I made up the sending their best part. But I did talk to them."		87
87	Cindy the SKULL	"Figures. All of you are liars. They're such sweet boys, though, aren't they? My sweet, sweet wannabe-SKULLS. They'll never be accepted. But their hearts are in the right place."		88
88	None			91 89 441
89	You	"SKULLS are silly. What are you even trying to achieve?"		93
90	Cindy the SKULL	"Fat chance. But you *can* still do your part to revitalize the neighbourhood."		98 99
91	You	"SKULLS are cool. Can *I* be a SKULL?"		90
92	Cindy the SKULL	"Have you noticed the *quiet?* Every so often, you might hear a gunshot pierce the air somewhere in Jamrock. But in Martinaise? No gunshots, no sirens. The people are languishing in boredom and complacency."		94
93	Cindy the SKULL	She throws you a conspiratorial glance, then presses her finger to her lips and squints up at the sky -- as though straining to hear something in the distance.		92
94	Cindy the SKULL	"This place is a sepulcher. We'll paint it red. We bring the raucous -- you bring the sirens."		225
95	Cindy the SKULL	"Have you noticed the *quiet?* Every so often, you might hear a gunshot pierce the air somewhere in Jamrock. But in Martinaise? No gunshots, no sirens. The people are languishing in boredom and complacency."		97

97	Cindy the SKULL	"This place is a sepulcher. We'll paint it red. We bring the raucous -- you bring the sirens."		225
98	You	"Okay then. How's that?"		96
99	You	"But I really want to be a SKULL."		96
100	None			6
101	Empathy	The bemusement in her voice doesn't fully mask genuine tenderness.		40 41 42 86

105	Cindy the SKULL	"Ooh, the piggies have learned how to saunter up staircases. I didn't think you could do that with hooves. But -- here you are."		306 309 308 307
106	You	"Why are you so committed to defacing the building?"		131
107	Cindy the SKULL	"Ooh, police brutality. That's the good stuff!"		137

112	Kim Kitsuragi	"Actually -- there is a shortage of people who talk to us in a normal, calm, informative manner."		113
113	Cindy the SKULL	"We weren't put on this earth to make your life pleasant, fuck-o."		35
114	Rhetoric	She's making a valiant effort to come off as a nihilist, but she's really just an angry little commie. No wonder she was talking about the streets flowing red -- that's what happened during the Revolution.		115
115	Cindy the SKULL			116 117

118	You	"So tell me, what's it like being a SKULL *and* a communist?"		214
119	You	"So you don't know what to write?"		133
120	You	"I'm gonna have to stop you. This is hooliganism."		123
121	Cindy the SKULL	"Thanks. I'm sure the inspiration will come to me now that I have an official RCM stamp of approval."		420
122	Cindy the SKULL	"What are you gonna do, climb up here? I'm unstoppable."		422

127	Cindy the SKULL	"You heard your partner, piggy. I'm unstoppable."		422
128	None			6
129	You	"I like public art. Keep doing what you're doing, don't mind me."		121
130	None			38
131	Cindy the SKULL	"This place is severely lacking in havoc. Not even the occasional trash can fire to break up the tedium."		132
132	Cindy the SKULL	"I thought I'd mix it up, you know, summon the forces of crime and social chaos -- with a wall-sized invitation."		130
133	Cindy the SKULL	"Have you ever tried your hand at graffito? When faced with a blank wall, most people write unimaginative stuff like *Pigs Go Home* and *Mona was here*."		134
134	Cindy the SKULL	"We rarely see pigs 'round here, though, just Union cads -- and my name's not Mona, so..."		435
135	You	(Get closer and stare her down.) "Cindy, give me the goddamned brush."	Variable["pier.cindy_half"]	138
136	None			135 147 358
137	Half Light	How come you're letting this baby rat run circles around you? End this *now*.		136
138	Cindy the SKULL	"Fine, take it, I'm all out of fuel oil anyway." She drops the paintbrush at your feet.		359
139	Cindy the SKULL			140 141
140	Cindy the SKULL		IsKimHere()	142
141	Cindy the SKULL		(IsKimHere()) == false	143
142	Kim Kitsuragi	"Fuel?" He looks at the empty bucket, then back at her, struck by a sudden realization.		144
143	You	"Fuel?"		145
144	Kim Kitsuragi	"That wasn't paint. It was heavy fuel oil, marked red for use by government vehicles."		192
145	Cindy the SKULL	"Yeah, fuel. What'd you think I was using, aquarelles?"		193
146	Cindy the SKULL	"Watch your back, ungulate. You've got eyes on you."
147	You	(Stand your ground with a look of weary determination.) "Cindy, I'm going to stand here till you hand over that paintbrush."		148
148	Cindy the SKULL	She looks at you suspiciously. "Have you got any kids? Because you sound like the world's saddest dad right now."		149
149	Cindy the SKULL	"But, fine, take the brush. I'm all out of fuel oil anyway." She drops the paintbrush at your feet.		359
150	Perception (Smell)	That isn't a fresh paint smell coming from the wall. She's using heavy fuel oil.		218
151	Composure	Hatred? Disgust? It's difficult to tell which of the two is more present in her girlish features.		419
152	Encyclopedia	Red-dyed heavy fuel oil is only used in government vehicles. Or at least that's the idea.		6
153	You	"Is that heavy fuel oil?"	Variable["pier.cindy_percept_fuel"] == true and Variable["pier.cindy_encyc_fuel"] == false and Variable["auto.on_cindy_balcony"] == true and Variable["pier.cindy_know_heavy_fuel_oil"] == false	194

155	Cindy the SKULL	"What did you think I was using, aquarelles? This shit is pumped out of government vehicles."		444
156	Cindy the SKULL	"What did you think I was using, aquarelles? Sucked it out of a cop's fuel tank myself -- back in Jamrock."		445
157	You	"Fumes are bad for you."		173
158	You	"This has to be illegal."		174
159	You	"That's some pretty clever cultural commentary."		175
160	You	"You'd better hand it over."		168
161	You	"That's some clever cultural commentary."		179

172	Perception (Smell)	That smell coming from her paint bucket -- it's not paint, it's heavy fuel oil.		218
173	Cindy the SKULL	"Something to think about next time you're driving around in your pretty little piggy-carriage."		176
174	Cindy the SKULL	"Cite me the statute that says you can't paint murals with fuel oil, and I promise I'll cease and desist."		176
175	Cindy the SKULL	"You ain't seen nothing yet, piggy-boo."		176
176	None			6

192	Cindy the SKULL	"What'd you think I was using, aquarelles?"		184

196	Cindy the SKULL		(IsKimHere()) == false	155

200	Cindy the SKULL		(IsKimHere()) == false	203
201	Kim Kitsuragi	"That fuel oil was marked red for use by government vehicles only." He looks at the empty bucket.		202
202	Kim Kitsuragi	"Oh well." He shrugs. "Nothing we can do about it now."		184
203	None			6
204	None			205 206
205	You	Can't I just use paint?		207
206	You	Right on. No way I'm settling for paint if even children are painting with fuel oil.		208
207	Conceptualization	Are you kidding me? Fuel oil is so much cooler. No way you're disfiguring that beautiful wall with something as pedestrian as ordinary *paint*!		187
208	Conceptualization	That beautiful wall deserves nothing less.		187
209	You	"Hey, Kim. Do you think you could lend me some of your fuel oil?"		211
210	You	"Kim, my friend. Would you be willing to sacrifice some of your fuel oil for art?"		211
211	Kim Kitsuragi	"My fuel oil is for my Kineema. Use your own fuel if you are unable to contain your artistic impulses, but please, leave my Kineema out of it."		212
212	None			6
213	None			118 436
214	Cindy the SKULL	She sighs. "You got me, pigshit. I don't make for a very good SKULL. I like animals too much. Simians and... pigs."		229

228	Composure	Her voice sounds different when she speaks this candidly. Older somehow.		100
229	Cindy the SKULL	She shrugs. "But I'm still gonna write some damned good graffito on this wall."		228

234	Conceptualization	They do say the painter always paints his own portrait.		236 453
235	Conceptualization	You don't have the skills to execute something like this in practice, but, oh boy, the idea's going to blow her fucking mind!		237
236	You	"I'm going to paint a self-portrait, but sort of, you know, *from the inside*, to show people what it's like."		242
237	You	"I'm going to create a highly detailed skeleton of an ancient bird that went extinct a hundred million years ago."		392
238	You	"And then I'm going to paint it red using heavy fuel oil. And then I'm going to fucking light it on fire."		393
239	You	"It's the phoenix, get it? What do you say?"		240
240	Cindy the SKULL	She hunches her shoulders and throws you a grim look. "I say, sod off. You don't have the technical skills to do that."		280 281 282
241	Cindy the SKULL	"I like your idea. Should've thought of it myself. I don't need this kind of competition in my neighbourhood."		458
242	Cindy the SKULL	"That's pretty fucked up, even for you, piggo."		269
243	You	"What if I add some interpretive dance?"		271
244	You	"Stop belittling me, Cindy!"		270
245	You	"Thanks, Cindy." (Pick up the brush.)		351
