13 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Unfortunately, the factory sold this one with a three-year warranty instead of a story." She smiles at her own joke. "It's to intimidate folks, mostly."

  • 52
  • 54
14 Lilienne, the Net Picker "It's a regular mass-produced sword, like a shovel or an axe. Nothing fancy, just for intimidation."
  • 53
15 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Sometimes I also walk the beach to see what the sea has given up. The sea is full of surprises."
  • 738
16 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Wood. Pieces of glass. Every once in a while we see dead bodies -- human, animal, fish, other odd sea creatures. A mine washed ashore, once..."
  • 97
17 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Don't have any," she replies with a shrug. "Those get cleaned out so fast even the local bums can only stand by and watch with watery mouths. Always by strangers too. Union folk don't stand this kind of stuff around here."
  • 104
18 You "Hold on... do you know how to use it?"
  • 19
19 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Not really." She glances at the blade. "I know some basic moves and I know it sure as hell beats a knife, when you're in a tough spot."
  • 492
20 Lilienne, the Net Picker "From time to time people need a lesson in respect. That's just the way it is. Back in the day I caught the eyes of many men and believe me," she adds, tittering, "men need a lesson in manners from time to time."
  • 56
21 You "Why don't more women arm themselves if it's so effective?"
  • 22
22 Lilienne, the Net Picker "What makes you think we haven't?" She smiles. "Heh. The truth is that almost everyone in this life is scared and tired and stupid and too *dull* for that."
  • 65
23 You "Behold!" (Point to *The Expression* on your face.)
  • 24
24 Lilienne, the Net Picker Her eyes meet yours and suddenly she starts laughing. It's hoarse. As if she hasn't laughed in a while.
  • 507
25 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Sure." Her face straightens. "It looks as if you could face-down any horror in the world with that same unchanging grin. It's like a shield."

  • 34
34 Lilienne, the Net Picker "No, I'm afraid not." Her eyes are smiling as her hand moves to the hilt. "Attempting to confiscate the blade I use to keep these animals in check? You would put me in an early grave."
  • 89
35 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Gone."

  • 484
46 Lilienne, the Net Picker "A fishing village. On the seashore." She looks around. "This place doesn't really have a name. It's sometimes called... *Illisible*."

  • 44
48 You "I'm good." [Leave.]
49 Lilienne, the Net Picker She whistles quietly, picking at the fishnet at her feet. The wind ruffles her hair.

50 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Are you now?" She smirks. "There are a lot of lawbringers around Martinaise, but not a lot of law."
  • 285

  • 12
52 You "It *is* imposing." (Nod.)
  • 14
53 You "Why do you need intimidation tactics?"
  • 20
54 You "Isn't that what guns are for?"
  • 55
55 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Guns are expensive... and fragile. I think." She shrugs. "Besides, I got kids. Can't have guns around them and sometimes a sharp blade is enough to keep folks at bay."

  • 59
59 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Some went to patch their wounds, their lesson learned, others were more thick-headed..." She looks down. "And one of them I ended up marrying."
  • 68
  • 61
60 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Ugh... sure. Venomosity." She nods. "But boys will be boys and god knows we don't have many around. So far the sword has been enough to keep them in line."
  • 494
61 You "Where's your husband now?"
  • 35
62 You "Gone where?"
  • 63
63 Lilienne, the Net Picker "To the waves." Her eyes stop in yours. "The sea took him. It was a long time ago."
  • 82
64 You "I'm a proper man. Believe me."
  • 66
65 Lilienne, the Net Picker "That goes for men too, but they put on an act for us. Pretend like everything's good and living in shit doesn't bother them. Like anyone falls for that."
  • 502
66 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Oh..." She shakes her head, smiling faintly. "Believe *me*, everyone here is a 'proper' man. Must be something about poverty that makes all the men *real*."

  • 77
77 Lilienne, the Net Picker "No, no. There's nothing to find. He's dead. Lost to the waves."
  • 82
78 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Uh..." She raises an eyebrow. "Good for you. He, however, was lost to the waves. It's been quite a while now."
  • 82
79 You "That's bad... What happened?"
  • 513

88 Shivers The harbour seawall endures the wash of the freezing waves. Many things wash up against it and onto the beaches of Revachol. Some inanimate, some just no longer alive... You shudder.

89 Authority She refuses?! But your word is the *law*. *You* are LAW!
  • 123

  • 91
  • 92
91 You "What else?"
  • 93
92 You "Is that enough to make a living?"
  • 15
93 Lilienne, the Net Picker "I sell the fish to people in the Delta to serve at their fancy restaurants. Authentic Insulindian cuisine."
  • 92
94 You "Interesting. What have you found?"
  • 16
95 You "I never thought the sea brought in anything particularly interesting."
  • 16
96 You "Alright, I think I get it. Let me ask you something else."
  • 550
97 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Bottles. Drugs, also. Lost cargo in general." She looks at the beach. "But most of the time, it's just wood and glass."
  • 528
98 You "I need to know about those human bodies."
  • 100
99 You "Drugs? I need info on this. Major narc." (Point to yourself.)
  • 17
100 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Well, you're barking under the wrong tree then, officer." She shakes her head. "I have no interest in floaters. Seen enough of them in my life already. A very unattractive bunch."
  • 544

103 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Well, the RCM has to wait for another one, cause some army folks came by, took it in the middle of the bay and blew it up." She spits over the railing. "The blast was surprisingly timid for such a huge spiky thing."
  • 542
104 Electrochemistry You could use a hit right about now. Any hit really. Feel that itch in your hands, the stiffness of your neck? That strange *restlessness* in your bones?
  • 539
105 You "Walking on the beach. Sounds quite... romantic."
  • 106
106 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Oh, very." She laughs. "Finding pieces of glass, bits of wood. Every once in a while we get dead bodies -- human, animal, fish, other sea creatures. A mine washed ashore, once..."
  • 107
107 Lilienne, the Net Picker "What else?" She looks at the beach. "Bottles. Drugs, also. Lost cargo in general. But most of the time, it's just wood and glass. *Very* romantic."
  • 528
108 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Oh..." she looks at the pointed direction. "That's good to know, I guess. Why is it in the sea?"
  • 562
109 Lilienne, the Net Picker "People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out."
  • 531
110 You "Anywhere with better opportunities."
  • 109
111 You "You just gotta follow the work, that's where the money sleeps."
  • 116

114 You "Okay. Enough about this place."
  • 552
115 You "I understand what you're saying. It could be worse elsewhere."
  • 117
116 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Oh, but of course -- why didn't I think of that?" She rolls her eyes. "Look, I have mouths to feed and as much as I'd like a change, I... they need stability first."
  • 109
117 Lilienne, the Net Picker "Exactly." She tries to smile and reaches in her net. "I don't mean to complain about my sad pauper life. We do manage alright. We're tough people here."
  • 530
118 Lilienne, the Net Picker "I don't mean to complain about my pauper life. We are warm and fed here and..." She smiles faintly and plucks some seaweed out of the net. "I don't know, there's just something about this shit hole."
  • 119
119 Shivers A sudden gust of cold air blows in from the sea. The waves flow and ebb, around you the fishing village takes its slow and steady breaths... its many wooden structures worn by bitter years of salt and storm.
