3	You	"I'll look around, thanks." [Leave.]		202
4	Siileng	"Sure, mister, very cool. Take a nice long look, I've got all sorts of things here."
5	You	"What's so cool?"		6
6	Siileng	"*Everything's* cool. The goods are cool, the customers are cool, the place is cool -- and one more thing, officer..."		7
7	Shivers	...from out on the bay a cool wind gathers. It sweeps into the city, tugging at the textiles hanging around the stand. Some distance away the sound of a tin can clattering across the street can be heard...		17
8	You	"Do you have a permit to sell all that?"		10
9	You	"The food packages you're selling have *humanitarian aid* written on them. How come?"	Variable["jam.siileng_noticed_humanitarian_aid_macarons"] == true and Variable["jam.truckman_said_its_siileng"] == false	136
10	Siileng	"Good joke, officer! Here we don't have permits, just economic freedom. Take a look around..." He takes a deep breath.		146

14	Siileng	"Everything's still cool here, officer," the street vendor assures you.		126
15	You	"Is there a discount for cool officers like me?"		16
16	Siileng	"No need for discounts at Siileng's, officer. Everything's already on sale." He nods towards the crates. "Anything you want, 50% off!"		52
17	Siileng	"... you're *very* cool." He makes both hands into finger-pistols and fires a few finger-bullets into the air.		37
18	Encyclopedia	This man probably comes from Siigay, sometimes known as the 'Apricot Suzerainty,' an archipelago in the Samaran isola.		33
19	You	"But you're not a local, are you?"		21
20	You	"You're from the 'Apricot Suzerainty', right?"	Variable["jam.siileng_encyclo_apricot_suzerainty"]	128
21	Siileng	"Very sharp, officer. I'm Seraise, from the Siigay province of the Seraise Empire. The 'Apricot Suzerainty', you know?"		87
22	You	"Yum. Apricots are delicious."		25
23	You	"Why's it called that? Lots of apricots there?"		25
24	Kim Kitsuragi	"The *Apricot Suzerainty*," the lieutenant explains, "is what the Siigay archipelago is commonly known as in Revachol." He pauses. "It's a bit of a *fraught* term, I'm sure you understand."		201

26	Siileng		IsKimHere()	24
27	Siileng		(IsKimHere()) == false	28
28	Siileng	"Yes, apricots come from Siigay," the man explains. "My grandma used to grow them. But Siigay is a shithole, that's why I came to Revachol. Here's much better for an independent entrepreneur. Less *laws*."		29
29	Siileng	"Speaking of -- why not support an independent local entrepreneur? I send half my profits back to my grandma in Siigay."		36
30	None			2
31	You	"So... where are you from?"		32
32	Siileng	"Me? It's a boring story, officer. Who cares about the past? I'm all business now -- all Revachol."		18
33	None			20 19 34
34	You	(Better not to mention.) "Sounds good. Let's get back to business then."		35
35	Siileng	"Very cool. I like your style, officer."		107
36	Empathy	Well. If it's for his *grandma*... you should buy a lot of things.		30
37	Composure	You feel a twitch in your index fingers. There's a finger-shootout a-brewing.		38

41	None			42 43
42	You	Whip 'em out!		44
43	You	No, it's a safety hazard.		64
44	Siileng	He raises his arms in mock alarm. "Don't shoot, officer! Have we got an arrest here, or just a shakedown?"		58
45	You	"A shakedown."		47
46	You	"An arrest."		77
47	Siileng	"Good one, officer. You're a funny guy! Now what can I do for you?" He nods toward his shabby wares.		48 49
48	You	"This isn't a joke. Give me your money. I need money."	Variable["TASK.pay_for_the_damages"] == true or Variable["TASK.pay_whirling_bill"] == true	118
49	You	"Just kidding. I'm really here to shake you down for some *answers* to official police questions."		62
50	You	"Even better, it's civil asset forfeiture." (Make an imaginary warning shot.)	Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_civil_forfeiture"] == true	59
51	Rhetoric	*Apricot Suzerainty* calls to mind an era when the Siigay archipelago was colonized by Revachol. It's a bit of a slur, in other words.		78
52	Logic	But did he first mark them up 100%, just so he could put them on "sale"?		53
53	Siileng			54 55
54	Siileng		Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_overvalue"]	56 195
55	Siileng		(Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_overvalue"]) == false	191
56	You	"Are those things really on sale or did you just jack up the price first?"		57
57	Siileng	"My man, you know how the game is played! You and me, we should work together. What do you think -- shake things up?" He winks.		191
58	Authority	Even better! It's like a shakedown, but somehow legal. This is "civil asset forfeiture."		45 46 50
59	Siileng	"You're threatening my inviolable property rights?" He inhales dramatically, then simmers down.		148
60	You	"This isn't a joke. Give me your money. I need money."	Variable["TASK.pay_for_the_damages"] == true or Variable["TASK.pay_whirling_bill"] == true	118
61	You	"Yeah, I'm funny. This isn't a civil forfeiture, I just want to ask some questions."		62
62	Siileng	"Then fire away, officer!" He settles back into the pile of boxes he's sitting on, getting comfortable.		2
63	Siileng	"I would, officer, gladly, but I don't have any cash on hand, you know?" He winks. "But maybe if you *buy* something first *then* I'll have some money you can shake me down for. Sound fair?"		162
64	Siileng	"What, no finger-pistols, officer?" The street vendor makes a little *pew-pew* sound.		65 66
65	You	"I'm not here to play with finger-pistols. I'm here on official business."		109
66	You	"What do you think is going to happen when all those finger-bullets come raining down to earth?"		109
67	Siileng	"You're right, officer, 100%." He returns his finger-pistols to their finger-holsters. "No playing around then. Strictly business. Maybe I can interest you in some premium menswear instead?"		2
68	Siileng	"...it's beautiful. Beautiful freedom!"		181 114 69
69	You	"Sweet, no permits means less work for me. Let's move on."		75
70	You	"Wait, but what am *I* doing here, if there are no permits?" (Stare at the police insignia on your sleeve.)		101
71	You	"A gossamer state? You're right, this *is* cool. I'm part of a hip, thin, almost non-existent state apparatus!"		73
72	You	"So 'cool' guys protect businessmen while everyone else lives in the ruins? I can think of cooler things."		74
73	Siileng	"Yeah, that's the main thing about you." He nods admiringly. "Freedom is great, it's what lets independent entrepreneurs, like me, sell quality goods at competitive prices."		155
74	Siileng	"Yeah -- *cool* ruins," he agrees. "I get to sell quality goods like these by cutting out the middlemen. *You* don't have to rebuild your house. Live in a crater! Or in a tree!" He points to a tree. "*Where* can you do that? Only here."		194
75	Siileng	"That's right. Revachol is the best place for an independent self-employer like myself. That's why it's so *cool* with all the models coming here and cool celebrities..." He smiles his bright toothpaste-ad smile.		76
76	None			125
77	Siileng	"Of course, I'll come quietly." A sly wink. "But perhaps I could convince you to arrest some of my wares, officer? With your money, maybe?"		2

82	You	"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I meant to say that you're from..." (Pronounce it very painstakingly.) "... See-guy..."		84
83	You	Don't fret. Let him answer.		127
84	Siileng	"Very cool," Siileng nods, his eyebrows furrowed, "I admire your awareness of our intertwined histories. It's super nice of you to apologize for colonialism. But the Apricot Suzerainty is a shithole -- that's why I left."		106
85	You	"Right, but isn't it only a shithole *because* of Revachol?"		96
86	You	"You're welcome. I do try to be supportive of other peoples and cultures."		95
87	Rhetoric	*Apricot Suzerainty* calls to mind an era when the Siigay archipelago was colonized by Revachol. It's a bit of a slur, in other words.		90
88	You	(Wince.) "Isn't that name kind of... insensitive?"		89
89	Siileng	"Very cool," the street vendor nods, his eyebrows furrowed, "I admire your awareness of our intertwined histories. It's super nice of you to apologize for colonialism. But the Apricot Suzerainty is a shithole -- that's why I left."		106

93	None			88 22 98
94	None			22 23
95	Siileng	"That's *so* cool, officer. Speaking of, why not support an independent local entrepreneur by buying some pants and glasses?"		132
96	Siileng	He smiles brightly. "If you say so, officer. I don't worry too much about politics. I'm an entrepreneur, you know? Whatever's good for business is good for me."		132
97	Siileng	"Hey -- why not support *this* local entrepreneur? You can start by buying a pair of sexy pants. Or cool sunglasses... maybe some macaroni?"		132
98	You	"Man, this apricots business sounds complicated all of a sudden."		99
99	Siileng	"Oh! Oh no! It's very simple, actually. Siigay is a shithole. Not good for independent entrepreneurs like this one here. That's why I came to Revachol."		100
100	Siileng	"Speaking of, could I convince you to support an independent local entrepreneur right now?"		133
101	Siileng			102 103
102	Siileng		IsKimHere()	105
103	Siileng		(IsKimHere()) == false	104
104	Siileng	"My man, officer, *you* make all this possible! Without you, this climate would be extremely bad for business. You're part of the gossamer state!"		183
105	Kim Kitsuragi	"If you wanted to be *cynical* about it, you could say we're here to protect the interests of property holders. I'm not, however."		104
106	None			85 86 199
107	None			2
108	Siileng	"Happy shopping, officer! Everything's cool here!" He gives you a thumbs up.		5 147

110	Siileng		IsKimHere()	112
111	Siileng		(IsKimHere()) == false	67
112	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant nods approvingly.		67
113	You	"Where'd you get those *comfy* pants?"		116
114	You	"Kim, is it true? He doesn't need a permit to sell?"	IsKimHere()	115
115	Kim Kitsuragi	"It is, yes. Anyone can set up their shop whenever they feel like it."		182
116	Siileng	"I'm an entrepreneur, officer!" He begins counting on his fingers. "I've got sources, buyers, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers... all extremely cool and aboveboard."		121
117	Kim Kitsuragi	"He does not need your money. Please disregard that. We're just here to ask some questions."		163
118	Siileng			119 120
119	Siileng		IsKimHere()	117
120	Siileng		(IsKimHere()) == false	63
121	None			125
122	You	"What kind of stuff are you selling here?"	Variable["jam.truckman_said_its_siileng"] == false	123
123	Siileng	"Only the coolest goods in Revachol. I've got sneakers, speakers, *extremely* comfy pants too. Try them on right here. No shame -- only freedom."		125
124	You	"That's all then. Let me ask you something else."		180
125	None			113 8 15 124
126	None			2
127	Siileng	"That's right, officer, but it's a bad scene for business there. Too many regulations, extremely bad for an independent local entrepreneur."		97
128	Siileng			129 130
129	Siileng		Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_laupuru"]	131
130	Siileng		(Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_laupuru"]) == false	51
131	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant winces at the words -- slightly.		197
132	None			2
133	None			2
134	You	"Does your supplier drive that HUMANOX lorry over there?" (Point at the lorry with the big HUMANOX sign on it.)	Variable["jam.siileng_noticed_humanox"] == true	137
135	Siileng	"No problem here, officer. I get all this from one of my suppliers, an extremely reputable guy."		218
136	Siileng	"You mean these *delicious* pre-packaged, shelf-stable meal kits? Really easy to cook, no hassle, *really* cheap too -- buy some, try them out!"		208
137	Siileng	"What?" The street vendor looks over his left shoulder and stares at the lorry -- as though he's never seen a lorry in his entire life.		139
138	Siileng	"Look, officer. I'm just the retailer. You'd have to talk to my supplier if you got questions about the supply chain. That's how the game works."		141
139	Drama	A convincing performance, bravo!		138
140	You	"I think one said 'Not for Resale' on the packaging."		135
141	Siileng			142 143
142	Siileng		IsKimHere()	144
143	Siileng		(IsKimHere()) == false	145
144	Kim Kitsuragi	"Interesting." The lieutenant whips out his blue notebook and makes a note.		213
145	None			2
146	Perception (Sight)	You glance around the decrepit buildings, the miserable weather, the sidewalks strewn with sunflower seeds and the dust-choked air...		68
147	You	[Leave.]
148	Siileng	"Good joke, officer, you're very funny, you know that?"		60 61
149	You	"Really? You think I'm cool?"		152
150	You	"I'm not cool."		153
151	None			149 150 160
152	Siileng	"Oh yes! You got style, you got *personal* style. You know what you like." He surveys his consumerist kingdom with an air of satisfaction.		154
153	Siileng	"What? No. I can't believe you said that! You got *personal* style! You know what you like."		154
154	Siileng	"You like premium menswear! Look around and browse, everything looks cool on a guy like you. Take your time." He settles back into the pile of boxes he's sitting on.		192
155	None			125
156	None			2
157	You	"Don't play games with me, hawker. What's going on?"		135
158	You	"And *who* is your supplier, exactly?"		159
159	Siileng	"Oh, he's a good guy. I think you'd get along. I'll let you know the next time he's around."		141
160	You	"Whether I'm cool is unimportant, I have *police* questions for you."		161
161	None			67
162	Siileng	"I think that's fair." He settles back into the pile of boxes he's sitting on, making himself comfortable.		164
163	Siileng	"Of course. Fire away!" He settles back into the pile of boxes he's sitting on, making himself comfortable.		164
164	None			2
165	Siileng	"Wow."		166 167
166	You	"Wow what?"		168
167	You	[Leave.]
168	Siileng	"A cop limping down the street, bleeding from the shoulder, face bruised, looking like hell... You know what that is?"		169
169	Siileng	"Cool. That's *cool*." He nods and settles back into the pile of boxes.		173

177	Siileng
178	Siileng	You see a Samaran street vendor surrounded by a motley assemblage of goods. When he realizes you're looking at him his face breaks into a wide welcoming grin...		179
179	Perception (Sight)	The name "Siileng" is embroidered over his breast pocket.		108
180	Siileng	"Anything for you..." He smiles again.		156
181	You	"Wait, is it really true that you don't need a *single permit* to set up a shop?"	IsKimHere() == false	182
182	Siileng	"That's right, no permits, no bureaucracy! That's why this city -- *and* its law officials -- are *so* cool!"		70 205
183	Encyclopedia	Gossamer is a fine, filmy substance consisting of cobwebs spun by small spiders, seen especially in autumn. It's safe to say he's referring to the near absence of regulations.		184
184	None			71 72 185 186 205
185	You	"But you're a foreigner. I'm protecting the business interests of foreign nations!"		187
186	You	"Then I'm protecting a state lawlessness. I'm not an officer of law, I'm an officer of common anarchy."		73
187	Siileng	"Yeah, Revachol's the coolest. Doesn't care about where you're from, who you are... It's all about *freedom*." He nods admiringly.		155

192	Volition	Don't be distracted by the flattery and funny-man act. *Questions*.		2
193	Siileng	"Hyper cool." He nods solemnly, then breathes out a sigh of pride surveying the city around him.		155
194	Rhetoric	You're pretty sure you can live in a tree elsewhere too -- but he wouldn't believe it anyway.		155
195	You	No use prying.		196
196	Logic	Yes. It's a business secret. Let him keep it.		191
197	Suggestion	As if you've committed some faux pas.		51
198	Siileng	"Siigay, Apricot Suzerainty -- it's all the same to me, it's all cool. I'm interested in sales. Go ahead, let's make one." He gestures to the boxes. "Super high quality, friendly prices."		132
199	You	"I don't know why I'm talking about this. It's some kind of... mind-reaction." (Point to your head.)		200
200	Siileng	"No, no. It's very cool, officer. You're a cool cop for caring about those things. You should buy cool glasses too." He points to a pile of sunglasses.		132
201	Siileng	"No-no, apricots come from Siigay," the vendor explains. "My grandma used to grow them. But Siigay is a shithole, that's why I came to Revachol. Here's much better for an independent entrepreneur. Less *laws*."		29

206	You	"Doesn't that beat the idea of humanitarian aid? It's *supposed* to be free. That's what makes it humanitarian."	Variable["jam.siileng_rhetoric_humanitarian_aid_should_be_free"]	207
207	Siileng	"It *is* -- *practically* free. Yours for five cents a piece! Rock that tuna -- why not some macaroni too?"		140 157 210
208	Rhetoric	No hassle? There's a *little* of a hassle here, it appears. A moral hassle.		209
209	None			206 140 157 210
210	You	"Okay, well -- if they're delicious it's okay."		211
211	Siileng	"They're *very* delicious. *And* shelf stable. You can keep all this out in the sun come summer! Try it -- buy some tuna. Won't rot. Un-rottable."		212

226	You	"I don't know, it was just the only thing I could come up with in my head -- to ask you. I need to get money *somehow*."		234
227	Siileng	"Oh, okay." The man stops, his face suddenly serious. "But why, officer?"		251

234	Siileng	"Ah, yes. Money is very important." The street vendor nods, dead-serious.		319
235	Empathy	Tugging at his heart strings like that... doesn't it feel a bit manipulative?		313
236	Siileng	"Ten reál is a bargain for that kind of investment! You got it, my man." He takes a ten-note from a leather pouch.		302
237	None			297 299 301
238	You	Persuade him to give you some money.		228
