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?

.....

[Something about the silence gets very heavy. The shadow on his face seem to extend further over his face, rippling and reaching his neck, like tendrils clutching him tighter. The container with pie is put aside, he says nothing for what seems like an eternity, until finally:]

Get out.

[It's out of the blue, it's not like Kino asked anything offensive or weird, yet he sounds deadly serious about that command.

Maybe you should do what he says, Kino]

[Time to leave, apparently. Kino nods in acknowledgment, standing to leave.]

If you tell me what you like to eat, I can bring that next time.

[Just sayin'. But Kino will indeed begin to make her way towards the door.]

[cartesio]

Anything is fine.

[He's not even shouting]

[quickpersuader]

Then let's try a burger and fries.

[That smile's back for that brief moment before Kino finally exits.]
