Dialogue
402- The same two neon lit shapes -- a man and a woman. A ray of backward motion explodes from…
- This is the door to the pinball workshop that you left barred on the inside.
- Just as you look at the flowers, a gust of wind raises them from the roof, picking them…
- The elevator stands open, inviting you to step inside.
- All these mesmerizing machines, just waiting to be plugged back in and played.
- You can almost see the shape of a man and a woman, writhing inside -- bathed in drug…
- So this is where they brought faulty pinball machines to fix them up -- a long time ago…
- You clearly see footprints in the downy carpet of dust covering the workshop floor.
- Soft, light brown eyes look back at you, directly into the space behind your eye sockets…
- "Titus Hardie gave me a recording. On it, the deceased says he intends to rape someone."
- "What was what?"
- You made the right call there. It feels good. Pure.
- Six crumbling petals rest on your palm. They're white, a bell-shaped crown.
- "You think this will make them cooperate?"
- The porta-reel is just what you needed -- the reels attach to the apparatus with a…
- "Okay." She puts her coffee mug on the table.
- Wait, stop -- that man, bloated beyond all recognition, was 42?
- A warm column of air rises around you, encircling the building you stand on. You feel its…
Notes
461- "Don't trust me -- trust the Mother. I'm only the messenger, homes." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.
- The lieutenant sighs, but says nothing.
- "Is that really necessary, detective?"
- "No, don't mind me, go on with your little project. I'm sure you can spin it as an under-cover op. Many cops do."
- "An amateur-entroponetic police officer... I'd like to say I've heard stranger things, but I'm not sure. This is a hell of a guess, however. Well worded I mi…
- "This was nice. Thank you." (Conclude the date.)
- "I hope this has been refreshing for you, detective," the lieutenant says, watching her leave. "Let's return to our search with a fresh pair of eyes."
- The lieutenant coughs sharply, then whispers: "Perhaps not. It's against RCM policy to defraud small business owners."
- "Alright." The lieutenant's face stiffens as he turns to look at the road ahead. "I won't ask again."
- "That was nice," the lieutenant smiles. "A small thing for us, but invaluable to him. He probably didn't even know René had the photo."
- The lieutenant gives you a long, slow shake of his head.
- "Uh... yes, that's right." He stares at you in surprise. "I am very impressed that you know these things."
- "I am not a binoclard, I am a driver... and a police lieutenant."
- "I'm perfectly proud of my glasses." The lieutenant adjusts his spectacles. "I need them for seeing. Anyway..."
- "The resulting vibration creates the whining sound, that's right," the lieutenant finishes your sentence. "Very impressive."
- "Strange... but plausible, I guess." He gives you a quick side-glance and turns to go. "I guess you're a bit of a... torque dork too."
- "Hey!" The lieutenant interrupts with a flicker of anger in his eyes. "If you cannot restrain yourself then I'll be handling the interviews from now on and y…
- "Why would you say that?" The lieutenant turns to you, more surprised than angry.
