Dialogue
402- "What can I do for you, boss-man?"
- A brisk coastal wind still howls against the window of the shack. Occasionally the waves…
- "Hello, mister!" The Net Picker's daughter waves at you.
- This phrase is meant to be looked at from above.
- A man lies on the boardwalk, his limbs bent and neck turned at an unnatural angle. Right…
- Snow is quietly covering the numerous wine bottles and cigarette butts on the ground…

- In your hand, you hold four-fifths of "Dick Mullen and the Mistaken Identity."
- The 'Suzerainty' box is heavy and slightly awkward in your hands. You give it a light…
- Whoa! In your hand: pyrholidon -- the double rainbow of synthetic hallucinogens. Rare and…
- The spread pattern of these bullet holes makes your chest ache. Your breath grows heavier.
- The title reads: "Codex Urik: the Industrious Dweorgr of Wirrâl". It's an introductory…

- "My colleague has an exploratory sense of humour. Don't hold it against him."
- It's good we discussed your history with her, he thinks. I can play along.
