Conversation 856: KIM SWITCH / TWINS AND RADIO

Fires after you've heard the Twins testimony with Kim. He reveals he knows the station. Weird if true, worth giving them a call.

5 Kim Kitsuragi "So. Those voices they heard..."
  • 27
6 Kim Kitsuragi "I believe they heard something," he says, glancing back at the twins. "And given the poverty of this part of town, I don't know how they could have heard a radio."
  • 7
7 Kim Kitsuragi "I don't *know* how they heard it, but..." He returns his gaze to you. "I know the station they imitated. So they must have heard it somehow."
  • 8
8 You "What channel was it?"
  • 9
9 Kim Kitsuragi "Speedfreaks FM."
  • 59
10 Reaction Speed No hesitation. He knows it well. Probably has the channel saved to his radio.

  • 13
11 You "Wait a second. How do you know that station?" Variable["village.kim_reactionspeed_knows_speedfreaks"] == true
  • 12
12 Kim Kitsuragi He pauses. "It's... important in our line to know about all sorts of things. I know a little bit about radio culture."
  • 19
13 You "Speedfreaks FM, huh?"
  • 14
14 Kim Kitsuragi "Yeah. Local station, known for its kinetic music and aggressive style."
  • 15
  • 16
  • 17
15 You "Sounds like a good time!"
  • 18
16 You "Sounds a bit rough for me. I like tenderness in my radio, I think."
  • 18
17 You "Sounds like a station for idiots."
  • 18
18 Kim Kitsuragi "Yeah." The lieutenant checks his watch. "Anyway."
  • 26
19 Drama The machinery of his mind is at work, sire! With swiftness the gears do turn, for to produce *deceit*! He seeks to hide his fondness for his favourite channel, Speedfreaks FM!

  • 24
22 You "Radio culture, huh? That makes sense." Variable["village.kim_drama_speedfreaks_lying_alert"] == false
  • 24
23 Kim Kitsuragi "No. And my radio habits are not relevant to this serious murder investigation."
  • 25
24 Kim Kitsuragi "Mhm." The lieutenant checks his watch. "Anyway."
  • 26
25 Drama You have seen through the veil he would have drawn o're your eyes. Do with this what thou wilt!
  • 83
26 Composure The lieutenant isn't usually a man who checks his watch without reason. He was trying to stay cool. Don't push now -- keep an eye out for it again later.

38 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant breathes steadily, each inhalation and exhalation controlled.
  • 43
39 Kim Kitsuragi "You must be mistaken," the lieutenant says in a calm, measured tone. "Anyway."
  • 40
40 Logic A calculated response. To say *why the hell did you snoop on my radio?* would be reasonable -- but it would confirm he likes the station. Instead, he dismisses it. He must be embarrassed by his affection for Speedfreaks FM.
  • 47
41 Kim Kitsuragi "I can't explain how they heard it," the lieutenant continues unabated. "I believe they heard something. And given the poverty of this part of town, I don't know how they could have heard a radio. However..."
  • 42
42 Kim Kitsuragi "Weird as it is, this situation is not connected to the murder. This isn't our business."

46 Volition He was clearly uncomfortable discussing it before. He still is. You have nothing to gain from pushing his buttons.
  • 47
47 Kim Kitsuragi "I can't explain how they heard it," he says, ignoring your comment. "I believe they heard something. And given the poverty of this part of town, I don't know how they could have heard a radio. However..."

51 You "It's a mystery though. Mysteries are our business."
  • 80
52 You "But it is related, Kim. The wind told me so."
  • 81
53 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant raises an eyebrow. "Well. That is true..."
54 Kim Kitsuragi "No." His answer is immediate. "I just... don't see how this furthers our investigation into a murder. That's all."

  • 85
