SERGEANT NPC CONTACT

[cartesio]

The Lodge is located on the hills near the town, large and strange. It contrasts a lot when compared to the rest of the town -- its gray and white walls are quite the change from the vibrant and colorful Cartesio, the plants and bushes that are planted on the lower levels of the Lodge only make the contrast more obvious. There are many windows, but no matter how much you look you don't see anyone passing behind them. If you didn't know better you'd think it was completely empty.

But it isn't empty. The Sergeant is there.

You won't get too far into the Lodge before you encounter the Sergeant. There he is in the lobby, standing in front of a door that leads deeper into the building. No matter at what time you come or what you do, he'll always be there, reading self-help books, or with a mirror, practicing his next speech/confrontation. When he's not facing all of you at once, he seems to be easier to talk with.

Want to bother him?

[Even though the Sergeant is a horrible person with horrible motivations and horrible plans, he's not emotionless. He has empathy and although he tries to ignore it more often than not, there are times he can't.

Which is why he passes his hands over his shadowy face, sighing before finally:]

Fine. If you get authorized to leave Cartesio, I'll let Rean go with you. I'll even give you your Lammy back. But all that is only if you get out of this town. You know what's the conditions: earn a medal by killing someone or being particularly useful in one of my tasks, and survive until the end of May.

If you manage to do that, I'll let Rean Schwarzer go with you.

[doublelammy]

[That's not the answer she wanted, naturally. She is ever a child, ever in need of instant gratification. She stews for a long moment in her fear, her anger, her worry, but eventually, she speaks up, shockingly quiet.]

...Promise me. Swear it to me on your life, since you like bein' so exact with your words.

If I meet your conditions, you'll send both Rean and I back to Erebonia.

Can you promise that?

[cartesio]

If you meet these conditions, Rean Schwarzer and Millium Orion will be released from Cartesio and sent back to Erebonia.

[...well there it is. He said that]

[doublelammy]

...Fine.

I'll see what I can do, then.

[She still doesn't sound happy about this, but she turns on her heel and heads for the door.

...Almost. She pauses right before taking the doorknob in her hand.]

Give me Lammy back next week, and you'll see someone dead a whole lot quicker. I can promise you that.

[And she's gone.]

[cartesio]

Executions are ways to guarantee getting something real good back, you know!

[He doesn't sound very happy he's getting himself dragged around by Millium, but...if she does kill someone, then maybe it's worth it.

He'll have to endure it. See you, Millium]
