KickAlthough, it does look quite scary.
Kick[JAM], could you be my bodyguard?
SousI'll come too! Two bodyguards.
ChefI guess I'll also come along then.

//approached from behind

Rhonda O'FishSSHHH! I think there's one on the line.

//approached from side

Rhonda O'FishOh! Hello [JAM]!

//first interaction

Rhonda O'FishNot a bad day for fishing today.
Rhonda O'Fish. . .
Rhonda O'FishWait, don't tell me YOU'RE here to fish!?
Rhonda O'FishHow unusual...
Rhonda O'FishWell as long as you don't get in my way
I'd be happy to have you here.
Rhonda O'FishJust use that spare rod there when you want to
have a go.
//if player has fish food
Rhonda O'FishOh, and I see you've already got some fish food.
Rhonda O'FishThat will be essential if you want to catch the fish in this pond.
Rhonda O'FishAnyway, if you can catch 5 different fish,
maybe I'll have a reward for you.
//if player DOES NOT have fish food
Rhonda O'FishOh, but you'll need fish food if you want to catch the
fish in this pond.
Rhonda O'FishI'm afraid I've already exhausted my generosity today by
letting you use my spare rod, so you'll have to find your
own bait...

//second interaction
//if rhonda didn't see the player with fish food yet

Rhonda O'FishYou found some fish food!
Rhonda O'FishThat will be essential if you want to catch the fish in this pond.
Rhonda O'FishAnyway, if you can catch 5 different fish,
maybe I'll have a reward for you.

//if player DOES NOT have fish food

Rhonda O'FishHave you found any fish food yet?
Rhonda O'FishCome back when you do.

//approached from side

Rhonda O'FishYou're quite the fishing pro!
Rhonda O'FishI'll be here again on the weekend.
You should come by if you can.

//approached from side

Rhonda O'FishHmm... It's getting late.
Rhonda O'FishOne more fish and I think I'll be off.

Rhonda O'FishWant some fishing tips?

FISH PERSONALITIES
Rhonda O'FishWhich fish would you like to learn about?

CALLOUS
Rhonda O'FishThe callous fish is very thin and long.
Rhonda O'FishYou'll have to be patient with her, as she has
quite poor social skills.
Rhonda O'FishPut up with her for long enough and I'm sure
she'll come around.

EASY GOING
Rhonda O'FishThe easy going fish has a huge mouth and a long
body. He looks a bit like a pelican.
Rhonda O'FishIt's unbelievable how carefree he is. You shouldn't
need any advice for winning him over.

ABANDONMENT ISSUES
Rhonda O'FishThe fish with abandonment issues is bulbous and
has lots of teeth.
Rhonda O'FishShe's quite the misery guts, and isn't confident
enough to face her woes.
Rhonda O'FishFor now it's probably best to try and distract
her from her problems.
Rhonda O'FishMaybe one day she'll get it together.

SUPERIORITY COMPLEX
Rhonda O'FishThe fish with the superiority complex is quite
plain looking compared to the others you'll find
in this pond.
Rhonda O'FishYou'll get the best reaction from him if you
try to match his stand off-ish nature.
Rhonda O'FishDespite his superiority complex, he doesn't like
to be sucked up to. He sees right through that sort
of thing as people trying to get their way with him.

SHY
Rhonda O'FishThe shy fish isn't even a fish.
Rhonda O'FishHe was estranged from everyone else in the pond for
being so strange looking, so now he hides away mostly.
Rhonda O'FishHe's very hard to find, but if you somehow manage to find
him, be gentle and kind. Try to make him feel comfortable.

WHERE TO FIND BAIT
Rhonda O'FishThe nearest bait and tackle is about a
20 minute drive away.
Rhonda O'FishYou'll probably not want to go that far
since you're working.
Rhonda O'FishOther than that I suppose you'll just have to keep
your eyes open for bait lying around about town.

REWARD
Rhonda O'FishThe reward for catching 5 different fish
is still up for grabs.
Rhonda O'FishJust speak to me once you've done it.

I DON'T WANT ANY TIPS
Rhonda O'FishGood luck.


you'll need fish food to go fishing.

HusbandIt makes me think of a number...
Husband"[RAND]".
HusbandAnd I hear the sound of running water...
HusbandIt reminds me of some coordinates.
Husband"D7".
HusbandI'm not sure why, but I think you should
remember those numbers.
Husband"[RAND]" and "D7".

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandYou've just reminded me; I recently found an
old camera tape from when Sous was little.
HusbandMy wife went and got it processed and we watched
all the clips last night.
HusbandThere was footage from a February snow day.
HusbandIt made me think of the coordinates "B1".
HusbandCan't stop thinking about weird stuff like that...

HusbandYou bring public transport to mind.
HusbandPatience is key with public transport.
HusbandTry to remember that.

HusbandOh?
HusbandYou're making the face of someone who just ate a good meal.
HusbandI wish I could say the same!

HusbandDid you have breakfast this morning?
HusbandYou look like you're in a mood.
HusbandYou should keep in mind when you last ate whenever you're
in a bad mood; you might just be hungry.
HusbandI think it's a good thing to keep in mind.

HusbandYou're looking bad, [JAM]...
HusbandWhen was the last time you ate?

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandI can hear a soothing sound...
HusbandAnd I'm visualising two different exits.
HusbandAnd I can see something else...
HusbandThere may be a bait of some sort in the place where these
sounds are coming from.
HusbandIt looks like it might be useful to you.
HusbandThat's all.

HusbandI'm really scared, [JAM].
HusbandI'm scared all the time.
HusbandMe and the missus had an argument last week about me not
doing anything anymore.
HusbandShe's so good to me, but I'm so tiring.
HusbandShe told me that it feels like I tattooed my brain.
HusbandI've been thinking about that a lot.
HusbandI shouldn't have told you that.
HusbandSorry.

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandIt makes me think of an unsettling place...
HusbandI can see the two different exits to that place.
HusbandThat's all.

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandIt reminds me of the friends I'd hang around with as
a teenager.
HusbandWe liked to go out to the moors during the summer.
HusbandOne time we found a pond there and tried fishing!
HusbandIt didn't go very well...
HusbandI think I can still remember the coordinates.
Husband"I3".

HusbandOh?
HusbandPlease stop filming me.

HusbandOh?
HusbandYou're reminding me of the pier my mum would take me
and my sister to when we were kids.
HusbandOnce when nobody was looking a machine made noises for me
so I ran away.
HusbandI never wanted to go to the pier anymore after that.
HusbandIt closed down a long time ago now.

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandI don't know.

HusbandOh?
HusbandThat look in your eyes...
HusbandIt reminds me of the friends I'd hang around with as
a teenager.
HusbandWe only ever went there once during the winter.
I remember it well.
HusbandIt snowed so we went sledding.
HusbandBut all of a sudden we noticed a herd of cows in the distance!
HusbandThey'd escaped a nearby farm.
HusbandWe decided to do a vote on if we'd find the farmer so
the cows could be returned, or if we'd leave the cows be.
HusbandWe ended up looking for the farmer.
HusbandThe thought of the cows being free on the moors was nice,
but we were worried about them being out in the cold too long.
HusbandI can still remember the coordinates of
where we went sledding.
Husband"F8".

HusbandOh?
Husband[JAM], you wouldn't fancy staying for an early dinner
would you?
HusbandI know you're working, but I was about to cook, and I'd
really like some company today.
HusbandThe missus definitely won't be back until late because
of all the flying saucer business.
HusbandAnd Sous is working overtime at the moment to
get as much savings in as she can before September.

KickAll I can tell is it doesn't look like

KickAlso, I have another music recommendation
for you, [JAM].
KickAndrew H. Smith's "Rock and Roll Dreams".
KickIt's all piano pop and ballads recorded to
cassette.
KickThe lyrics are kind of like Brian Wilson and
Tony Asher's on "Pet Sounds". They're really vulnerable
and honest.
KickAndrew Smith is from the same scene as Foxygen
and all those other people I've been telling you about.
KickMost of his stuff is about personal failures
and not being able to live up to the expectations
you set yourself in life and stuff.
KickHe's really prolific, but I think "Rock and Roll
Dreams" is the best place to start.

KickRight, I'ma head out now.
The rest of my deliveries are on the other side of town.
KickSee you in a bit.

you're uncertain at first, but you soon realise that
it's me you're looking at.
your eyes can't tell, but in your mind you know that
i'm really happy to see you again in person.
i apologise for staying here so long; things haven't
gone as planned for me.
i notice your gift token and exchange it
for a gift box.
you should give that box to someone who might not
be feeling well.
it's a dream.
whenever you have an especially pleasant dream, it's
because somebody is wishing the best for you.
if you manifest it, you can give somebody you know
a good dream just by thinking about them.
the gift box will make this happen without fail.
don't forget to give the gift box away
before you finish today.
if it's alright, i'd like to ask for a favour.
i'm completely stuck here unless i'm given a pretty big
amount of power.
they'll destroy me if i don't leave.
TRANSFER POWER
you feel a headache settle in.
your teeth begin to chatter and you feel sick to your stomach.
i've recieved your power. thank you so much.
i'm going far away now, [JAM].
thank you for everything you did today. goodbye.

gone as planned for me.
but you've taught me a lot during my prolonged stay.
i think i've learned what a "weak person" can be.
i think i've learned that sometimes people become bad,
and once they've crossed that line, there's nothing they
can do to change that.
i don't know what you're supposed to do after that.
i suppose you'll get what's coming to you, won't you.

i think you're having a panic attack


and then she held on to my arm all the way home
because she was scared i'd throw myself into the
road if she didn't


the water she gave me tasted funny, so i thought she
had poisoned me for wearing her clothes


and i also really didn't want to go to sleep because
i was convinced one of you would kill me


isabella told me i'm a good person and that she
loves me, but i don't know isabella and she doesn't
know the same person as me
so those are only comforting words


for a while i thought i was getting better,


but when the balcony fell on all those people and
you wouldn't hug me i think something changed again


i told isabella i'm doing my best now


and i was telling the truth, but i started cutting
again today.
i think it's been a year now since i got bad.
i'm a different person now which i think isn't a
good or a bad thing.

lots of this game is obviously real stuff.
i hate myself more and more every day but i keep
going because i'm too scared to doing anything about it.
i want to do positive stuff with this game but i don't
know if i'll get it all together in time. i'll try to
at least write a rough draft here.
i think what i want to say is that i don't love everyone,
and i especially don't love myself.
i'm not going to say whether you should love everyone or
not because i'm not an authority on anything. i'm a seriously
stupid person who ruined his life without even realising.
but, while i don't have love for everyone, i think what
i do have is hope for everyone. sometimes even for myself,
but usually not hahah.
i wrote a big list of reasons to keep going which makes
me feel a bit better sometimes.
like i haven't listened to every billy joel album yet,
i need to eat more thai food, and i need to play
more final fantasy games.
if you're reading this, i'm sorry this game doesn't really
have a satisfying ending. it might one day but i don't know.
please know that some people care sometimes.
please be kind to your friends and family and don't say
bad things about them when they're not there
because you probably don't ever mean it.
please take care of yourself.
try not to take up the whole pavement.

HandymanGood.

IT IS DISMAL
HandymanOh, that's too bad.
HandymanPeople around town rarely use them. It's probably
because mostly old people live here.
