006FCFAB
|
Welcome! Welcome, my friend. I don't believe we've had the pleasure of speaking yet. I'm Fabio, Fabio Mondadori. At your service.
|
Charming, charismatic.
|
2
|
006FCFAD
|
Hold it right there. I don't think you belong here.
|
|
3
|
Yeah, okay, you know what? Mind telling me what you're doing, walking in here like you own the place?
|
|
4
|
006FCFAF
|
You're back. And you still have a pulse. What a stroke of luck that is.
|
Charming, affable.
|
5
|
00726DCF
|
So you're the catalyst that'll bring down my brother's empire? You, and you alone?
|
Fascinated by the player. Elegant. Curious.
|
6
|
Fascinating.
|
|
7
|
00726F20
|
You look like a bat out of hell. What do you need?
|
|
8
|
007316FD
|
What brings you to me on this fine day?
|
Charming.
|
9
|
007316FE
|
Are you ready to do business now?
|
Charming, but a bit impatient.
|
10
|
007316FF
|
You again? Didn't I tell you to scram?!
|
Irritated.
|
11
|
00731700
|
Any news?
|
Friendly, casual.
|
12
|
00731701
|
Anything I can do for you?
|
Friendly.
|
13
|
0074533D
|
What of the gang? Are they dead? Or gone...like dissipating vapor?
|
Cruel yet smiling.
|
14
|
0074533E
|
Concerta is not to be trifled with. So, trifle with her.
|
Cruel joke.
|
15
|
0074533F
|
Is there something I can assist with?
|
Offering help, charming and charismatic.
|
16
|
00745340
|
Did you have something else to ask, or are you just lonely?
|
Friendly, suave.
|
17
|
00745341
|
You're...taking your time, aren't you? I'm sure you have your reasons.
|
Getting impatient with the player.
|
18
|
00745342
|
We have much to discuss, don't we?
|
Firm.
|
19
|
00745343
|
Please...tell me what's on your mind.
|
Feeling desperate. Doesn't like that the player isn't answering her.
|
20
|
006FCF89
|
006FCFB1
|
*chuckles* Yes, I didn't think you'd turn an opportunity like this down. As to where you should start, look to the Neapolitan Casino.
|
Deviously amused.
|
21
|
Concerta lives in the largest suite within its hotel wing. I need you to search her room and find whatever evidence you can.
|
|
22
|
That woman is hiding something. I know she is... When you learn the truth, whatever that may be, return to me.
|
|
23
|
Don't come back until you do.
|
Somewhat commanding.
|
24
|
006FCF8B
|
006FCFA5
|
That gang of lowlifes I sent you to track down was just a test. A trial run, to see if you can handle the real work that needs to get done.
|
Suave, charming.
|
25
|
You see...my organization, the Lombardi Family, we've been...disorganized, for some time now. Rudderless. Filled with questions.
|
|
26
|
It's not good for a cult of personality to lack one, you understand? Now, as I'm sure you can see, I'm not Quentino Lombardi. I'm not the don. Yet.
|
|
27
|
Quentino himself has been...absent, for some time. Silent. It's not in his character. We've been told he's just been...ill, from old age.
|
|
28
|
At the very least, that's what his kid sister, Concerta, has been saying. She's been strutting around giving orders claiming they're from Quentino.
|
|
29
|
Not all of us are foolish enough to take such things at face value. I need you to get to play detective for me. Dig up dirt on her. Find the truth.
|
|
30
|
If Quentino is for, whatever reason, gone, then the position of don is open. And I would be very interested in that position.
|
|
31
|
I could reward you quite handsomely. Do you think you could do some digging for me?
|
|
32
|
006FCF8C
|
006FCFA0
|
So you did, so you did... And in your own way as well. Very interesting. Words can only tell you so much about a person, but actions?
|
Charming, snake-like.
|
33
|
Well, actions tell you everything.
|
|
34
|
006FCF8F
|
006FCFA6
|
So you are. Let's get a good look at you...
|
Charismatic. Thinking to himself.
|
35
|
You look...sturdy. Weathered, if I may. You may be exactly what I'm looking for... Excellent.
|
Assessing the character. Calculating.
|
36
|
Now, I am a generous benefactor, and a good friend at that! Ask anyone. They'll tell you. But I want to start you off small. See if I can trust you.
|
Charming and charismatic. Sizing the player up.
|
37
|
You prove yourself to me, show me you can handle a bit of a...challenge, and then the real work can begin. How does that sound?
|
Charming and charismatic.
|
38
|
006FCF91
|
006FCFA1
|
Simple as, my friend. There's some...ne'er-do-wells hanging around the Casino Quarter, trying to ruff up the Family's patrons for a few caps.
|
Charming, charismatic. Polite.
|
39
|
Pathetic, isn't it? Regardless, I need you to deal with them. How you do so is up to your discretion.
|
Judgmental, yet his delivery is very smooth.
|
40
|
In fact, I would be...curious, to learn your methodology. You deal with them, and I promise you, you will be well-paid. We take care of our own here.
|
Very smooth, even when talking about murder.
|
41
|
Now, do we have a deal?
|
Charismatic.
|
42
|
006FCF93
|
006FCFA7
|
Your words are reassuring. Let's hope your actions mirror them. Come back when our "friends" outside are dealt with.
|
Charming, charismatic.
|
43
|
006FCF95
|
006FCFA2
|
Maybe, maybe not. You don't look like a Muni to me. Don't know why it matters to you.
|
Intentionally not answering the question. Defensive.
|
44
|
Sounds to me like you got steered in the wrong direction. We've been shaking some people up for caps, as you put it. But not "patrons."
|
Vaguely threatening.
|
45
|
'Fact you used that word tells me that the Family sent you. We've been shaking up Quentino's louts for their caps. Who's going to miss a few mobsters?
|
Smug and threatening.
|
46
|
I'm not an unreasonable woman. How about you just turn around and walk away, and I'll forget this ever happened?
|
Smug, thinks she's being merciful.
|
47
|
006FCF97
|
006FCFA8
|
Well, when you put it that way, it's hard to disagree with you.
|
Persuaded by the player's charm.
|
48
|
All right, we'll pack it up and move our operation to the Boardwalk. You can tell your little handler we won't be causing trouble 'round here anymore.
|
True to her word. Blunt.
|
49
|
006FCF99
|
006FCFA3
|
Hey, whoa now. There's no need for that!
|
Afraid.
|
50
|
You want us gone? Fine, we're gone! You can tell your little "Family" that we won't be causing problems around here anymore.
|
Desperate to get out of this situation.
|
51
|
In fact, I've heard the Boardwalk is quite nice this time of year.
|
Squirreling to get out of this.
|
52
|
006FCF9B
|
006FCFB0
|
It'll be hard for you to talk it out with a couple bullets in you. But maybe you'll surprise me.
|
Threatening, sinister.
|
53
|
006FCF9D
|
006FCFA9
|
You...what?
|
Completely caught off guard and befuddled by the player's response.
|
54
|
Well...all right. If you say so. I...almost feel a bit bad about this, to be honest. But caps are caps.
|
Unsure.
|
55
|
Guess we'll be moving onto greener pastures. So...thanks, I guess?
|
Still surprised by the way this conversation turned.
|
56
|
006FCF9F
|
006FCFA4
|
I was wondering when you'd say that. Shame, you were starting to grow on me.
|
Sinister. Cruelly pleased.
|
57
|
00726DBB
|
00726DCD
|
Plunge a knife in his back like he has to mine. Send a bullet into his skull.
|
Bitter, angry, stern.
|
58
|
See to it that the traitorous "consigliere" dies, by my hand guiding yours.
|
Angry, bitter, serious.
|
59
|
00745335
|
Maybe you were a catalyst of more than just my seemingly inevitable demise. Maybe I misjudged you after all.
|
Grim, serious.
|
60
|
If that is so, then return to your precious Appalachia.
|
A bit cold.
|
61
|
Then again...my intuition is rarely ever wrong.
|
Doubtful of the player's good intentions.
|
62
|
00745336
|
The truth is cold and harsh, but there is one thing that cannot be denied about it. Its veracity.
|
Grim and somber.
|
63
|
Fabio can have his throne. Empires rise and fall, raze and simmer. If it's time for mine to do so, then maybe I just have to accept it.
|
|
64
|
I won't fight you on it. I know a lost cause when I see one, and I shattered my mirror for that very reason.
|
Grim, sad.
|
65
|
00745337
|
I feel this is not the end of my tale, but maybe just the end of your chapter in it.
|
Pensive, reflective.
|
66
|
Safe travels to Appalachia. Safer than mine, at least.
|
Grim, somber.
|
67
|
00726DBE
|
00726DD0
|
The spotlight was never mine to be had. I was forever lurking beyond its limits, searching for a way in.
|
Somber, pensive.
|
68
|
But I'm sure you've seen the barrier that separates light from darkness. There is no door.
|
Somber, sad.
|
69
|
Those like me, who linger in darkness, are not meant for such light. That is...unfortunately quite clear to me now.
|
Realizing her fate was written for her, and she has no control.
|
70
|
00726DBF
|
00726DC9
|
I see. You'll have some trouble counting to ten when you get to hell, given you'll only ever get to number nine.
|
Cold, cutting.
|
71
|
00726DC0
|
00726DC6
|
You're...judicious, if nothing else. That may be for the best. You're not from here. You're not a mobster.
|
Trusts the player against her better judgment.
|
72
|
This isn't your fight. I advise you walk away from this, far away, and pick wiser battles next time.
|
Advising the player to leave. Genuine in her answer.
|
73
|
00726DC1
|
00726DCA
|
Perhaps...perhaps you are right. I don't wish to be like Fabio. He is a bumbling fool that can only be trusted as far as he can be thrown.
|
Surprised by the player's reasoning. It seems to resonate with her.
|
74
|
This level of treachery is something only a politician such as he could dream up. I won't stoop to that level.
|
Determined to not become like Fabio.
|
75
|
Thank you, for giving me such clarity.
|
Sincere.
|
76
|
00726DC2
|
00726DC7
|
I...am humbled by your faith. It's good to see someone know the truth and still support me.
|
Surprised that someone believes in her. Trying to maintain her composure and not get emotional.
|
77
|
This is a most unusual occurrence for me. And I...I should thank you for it.
|
Struggling to express gratitude through her shock.
|
78
|
But you know what must happen now, don't you?
|
Grim.
|
79
|
Fabio Mondadori must die.
|
Serious tone.
|
80
|
00726DC3
|
00726DCC
|
And what would that be, pray tell?
|
Keeping her voice level to hide how eager she is to learn the player's answer.
|
81
|
00726DC4
|
00726DC8
|
I don't expect you to pity me. The mad queen of Atlantic City, whose subjects could and never would respect her if she stepped out of the shadows.
|
Speaking about herself bitterly.
|
82
|
I've been standing in the shadow of my brother my entire life, the machinations of the Family emanating from my whispers in his ear.
|
Growing a bit frustrated and she recounts her predicament.
|
83
|
It wasn't until he...found peace, that I started to lose my foothold. He was my shield, the visor that obscured my visibility in the public eye.
|
Voice becomes pained when talking about her brother's death.
|
84
|
But now, he's gone. Not by my hand, mind you, but by the very substance that made him rich.
|
Bitter, almost angry at the chem.
|
85
|
The only other contenders for the godfather's chair are fools. They will run the empire I bled for my entire life into the ground.
|
Disdain in her voice.
|
86
|
I did not take the Family from Quentino. I made it for him.
|
Defiant, resolute.
|
87
|
00726DC5
|
00726DCB
|
Oh, believe me. I am intimately acquainted with my own fate.
|
Firm, resolute.
|
88
|
I can only hope that you might listen to reason, should it rear its rare face before you.
|
A bit hopeful.
|
89
|
00726F07
|
00726F1B
|
[TEMP] This is where I react to you having found the information I wanted. I will also reward you for doing this for me.
|
|
90
|
00726F09
|
00726F24
|
Straight to business, huh? Bet you pissed quite a few people off here.
|
Amused.
|
91
|
But yeah, I'll take you. Get in and we'll get going.
|
Casual, tough.
|
92
|
00726F0B
|
00726F1C
|
[TEMP] You will be well-rewarded for your efforts. Now, how about we get you back to Appalachia? You came in on that vertibird, didn't you?
|
|
93
|
00726F0C
|
00726F18
|
[TEMP] Angry response.
|
|
94
|
00726F0E
|
00726F21
|
[TEMP] And this is where I respond appropriately. But, you're done and dusted.
|
|
95
|
00726F10
|
00726F19
|
[TEMP] Annoyed goodbye.
|
|
96
|
00726F12
|
00726F23
|
[TEMP] This is going to anger me and result in me attempting to kill you.
|
|
97
|
00726F14
|
00726F22
|
[TEMP] I express sinister delight at hearing this news, elated that I was able to get what I want.
|
|
98
|
However, I also tell you that despite the fact you chose to resolve this peacefully, I am going to have her killed anyway.
|
|
99
|
00726F16
|
00726F1A
|
[TEMP] This is where I express my absolute delight in you having killed Concerta and discovered her secrets
|
|
100
|
007316EA
|
00731702
|
Feisty, aren't you? Well, I suppose the caps will just go to someone else. Unless, of course, you change your mind.
|
Charming. Trying to hide how irritated he is.
|
101
|
007316EE
|
007316F7
|
Well, I'll be here if you change your mind.
|
Casual and blunt.
|
102
|
007316EF
|
0073171C
|
Who am I? Some call me consigliere, others a diplomat. I represent the Lombardi Family, but also myself.
|
Very charming and endearing.
|
103
|
To my friends, I'm just Fabio. Perhaps you and I can be friends.
|
Charming, inviting.
|
104
|
0073171D
|
You're sharp as a tack, aren't you? Well, let's just say this little "gang" problem is not the only thing I need help with.
|
Flattering the player.
|
105
|
If you can prove yourself with a trivial task such as this, perhaps I can trust you with greater responsibilities. Ones with larger rewards.
|
Seductive and charming.
|
106
|
I'm sure we can come to an understanding.
|
Charismatic, charming.
|
107
|
0073171E
|
On behalf of the Family...? How do I put this?
|
Thinking about how best to answer the player's question.
|
108
|
When I act on behalf of the Quentino Family, I act in my own interest. And when I act in my own interest, it benefits the Family.
|
Charming and sly.
|
109
|
The two are one and the same. Perhaps that answers your question.
|
Oozing charm.
|
110
|
0073171F
|
They should be outside in the Casino Quarter. They like to hang around this area, waiting for our patrons to come out of the casinos.
|
Charming.
|
111
|
Might want to try looking around the old storefronts. Could be hiding out in there.
|
Charming tone.
|
112
|
00731720
|
I don't care. Kill them, talk to them, marry them. Whatever it'll take to get them to go away.
|
Dismissive.
|
113
|
I just don't want them scaring off our patrons. The execution of my purpose doesn't matter to me, so long as the goal is met.
|
Sly and charismatic.
|
114
|
007316F0
|
0073171B
|
On to learn better time management, I hope.
|
Mocking the player in a passive way.
|
115
|
007316F2
|
0073170C
|
Thank you for thinking rationally. I can promise you, you've made the right choice.
|
Grateful, but still firm and cold.
|
116
|
0073170D
|
You have the power to either level or sculpt an entire metropolis. Think very carefully.
|
Grim, serious, stern.
|
117
|
0073170E
|
There is much at stake here. More than you could ever know.
|
Grim, serious, stern.
|
118
|
0073170F
|
Time is slowly accelerating, awaiting your decisions.
|
Philosophical, stern.
|
119
|
00731710
|
What are you waiting for? Fabio Mondadori isn't going to kill himself. Unfortunately.
|
Irritated, stern.
|
120
|
00731711
|
At times, sparing a life is more anxiety-inducing than ending one. Let's hope you're right about Fabio.
|
Grim, worried.
|
121
|
007316F3
|
00731708
|
Ugh! What'd you have to hit that hard for?
|
In pain, whining.
|
122
|
00731709
|
Agh! Maybe this was a bad idea.
|
In pain, afraid.
|
123
|
0073170A
|
Gah!
|
In pain, afraid.
|
124
|
007316F4
|
00731704
|
You thought you could mess with us?!
|
Angry.
|
125
|
00731705
|
Take this!
|
Angry, fighting.
|
126
|
00731706
|
Back down, or else!
|
Angry, fighting.
|
127
|
007316F5
|
00731714
|
This place is filled with a bunch of sitting ducks.
|
Scheming.
|
128
|
00731715
|
We're going to eat well tonight. And every night after that.
|
Darkly excited.
|
129
|
00731716
|
Can't wait to see the rest of Jordy's plans. She always makes the right calls.
|
Confident.
|
130
|
00731718
|
Guess it's time to hit the road.
|
Casual.
|
131
|
00731719
|
Boardwalk, here we come!
|
Sarcastic.
|
132
|
0073171A
|
Was starting to get tired of this place anyway.
|
Casual.
|
133
|
007316F6
|
007316F9
|
Yeah, that's what I thought.
|
Threatening.
|
134
|
007452E6
|
00745329
|
So you did, so you did... And in your own way as well. Very interesting. Words can only tell you so much about a person, but actions?
|
Charming, snake-like.
|
135
|
Well, actions tell you everything.
|
|
136
|
007452E7
|
0074532F
|
You don't...like me?
|
Bewildered that the player would betray him over something so trivial.
|
137
|
The feeling is fucking mutual.
|
Furious, about to attack the player.
|
138
|
007452E8
|
00745333
|
Corrupt?! Me?! Don't make me laugh! You're just full of jokes today, aren't you? Well, I'm not laughing.
|
Furious, hysterical.
|
139
|
You won't make a joke out of me.
|
Furious, threatening. About to attack.
|
140
|
007452E9
|
0074531D
|
The cut of her...? Don't tell me you fell for the lies that come off of her lead tongue! How easily swayed are you?!
|
Furious. In disbelief.
|
141
|
Or how about I just "sway" you into an early grave?!
|
Rage-filled threat.
|
142
|
007452EA
|
00745322
|
Yes, that's the spirit. Leave that information to your betters, hmm? You'll be rewarded handsomely, for a job well done.
|
Brushing over the player's concerns.
|
143
|
007452EB
|
00745326
|
And you're a hired gun who suddenly grew a conscience. Tell me, where was that moral high ground of yours when we first met?
|
Charming and cold.
|
144
|
Seems like it took you a while to walk up that hill, hmm?
|
Patronizing.
|
145
|
Now, if you aren't planning to waste any more time, let's talk payment so we won't have to gaze into each other's eyes any longer.
|
Getting irritated.
|
146
|
007452EC
|
00745339
|
You know what they say about heroes, arbiter. They're always willing to die for the right cause.
|
Cold, yet charming.
|
147
|
Just like you will.
|
|
148
|
007452ED
|
0074532C
|
Certainly! Oh, don't offend me so cruelly. I never forget to reward those who serve me faithfully.
|
Sickly sweet.
|
149
|
007452EE
|
0074533C
|
Yes, she did. But what Concerta Lombardi wants has no bearing on me. And I want her in the grave.
|
Sinister.
|
150
|
You can't let these loose ends hang around, you see. You need to clip them, before you trip. I'm sure you understand.
|
|
151
|
007452EF
|
00745318
|
You've done well. Very well. Exceptionally well. And your reward...well, your reward will match your success.
|
Sinisterly pleased.
|
152
|
I was not lying when I said I am a very generous benefactor, and friend. You've made a friend out of me, arbiter.
|
|
153
|
Now, how about we get you back to Appalachia? You came in on that vertibird, didn't you?
|
|
154
|
Your reward will be waiting for you there.
|
|
155
|
007452F0
|
00745319
|
*laughs* Oh, you are a funny one. You're lucky I like jokes.
|
Hoping the player is kidding. Gritted teeth. Cold. Forced laugh.
|
156
|
You...you're serious, aren't you? You actually sided with the hag.
|
Getting angry.
|
157
|
How could you be so stupid?! You knew that displeasing me could only end ONE way!
|
Furious.
|
158
|
Why? Why would you throw everything away for her?
|
Yelling, angry.
|
159
|
007452F1
|
0074532E
|
Dead, you say? I knew it! Let's see here...
|
Ecstatic. Thinking.
|
160
|
Oh, oh wonderful. A Devil's Blood addiction. Quentino, you old dog. And a delicious cover-up by his doting sister.
|
Sinisterly excited.
|
161
|
This is exactly what I was looking for. Concerta won't last another day in the godfather's chair.
|
Very pleased.
|
162
|
007452F2
|
00745332
|
*laughs* A "peaceful transfer of power"? Yes, I'm sure she believes that.
|
Darkly amused by the player's naivete.
|
163
|
Still, it'll make her more vulnerable. More...resigned to her fate. Should be easier to take her out.
|
Scheming.
|
164
|
So, you have done me quite the service after all.
|
Returns to being charismatic.
|
165
|
007452F3
|
00745320
|
Oh, now that is music to my ears. A symphony of joy and progress. I am sure you had ample reason to...remove her.
|
Genuinely elated. Still sinister.
|
166
|
All is going according to plan.
|
Sinister. Pleased.
|
167
|
007452F4
|
0074531C
|
I'd appreciate it if you would pick up the pace.
|
Holding his smile but speaking through gritted teeth.
|
168
|
007452F5
|
0074532B
|
Fabio is a politician who lies endlessly through his teeth. He's full of pretty words and bleached smiles. Little else.
|
Biting words.
|
169
|
Like some of his competitors, he just wants power and wealth. He doesn't care about preserving the legacy and glory of the Family.
|
Judgmental.
|
170
|
He'll run it into the ground and sell us out to every Muni taxman and Boardwalk juggler in Atlantic City for a few caps.
|
Bitter.
|
171
|
007452F6
|
0074531B
|
So you've heard. Yes, that was me. Antonio was...and is, to a degree, the greatest threat to my power.
|
Uncomfortable with the player knowing her business, but returns to her stern tone.
|
172
|
He doesn't care about honor, or loyalty. He cares only about money, and how much he can hoard to himself.
|
Really looks down on Antonio. Bitter.
|
173
|
He may be an adept businessman, but he would make a poor leader. And an even worse godfather.
|
|
174
|
The Family would fall under his leadership.
|
Firm.
|
175
|
007452F7
|
0074532D
|
I have indeed. My brother was older, but certainly not wiser. He was always an impulsive, temperamental person, driven by vice and whims.
|
Stern, elegant.
|
176
|
I had to be the level-headed one. The decisive one. The tactician. If I didn't, we'd be begging for scraps on the street.
|
Firm and resolute.
|
177
|
I won't lie and pretend I'm some selfless do-gooder who was trying to protect him. I looked out for myself, first and foremost.
|
Being honest and straightforward.
|
178
|
But everything I did, was with his best interest at heart. I hope you can believe that, if not anything else.
|
Sad, a bit somber.
|
179
|
007452F8
|
00745331
|
Your naivete makes me nostalgic for an easier time. It's not due to some falling out, or hatred.
|
Pensive, stern.
|
180
|
No, it is simply due to my...nature. The Family is rooted in customs from back home. We're from a small village near Naples.
|
Trying to find the right words to describe her predicament.
|
181
|
There are certain...traditions that are to be followed, if you're one who lives by rules. My brother was too stupid to see beyond it, bless him.
|
Even though she insults Quentino, she speaks of him lovingly. Trying to find a way to dance around saying that her culture is patriarchal.
|
182
|
I had to resort to more subversive means to take what had always been mine.
|
Voice becomes a bit more aggressive.
|
183
|
007452F9
|
0074531F
|
No. Contrary to popular belief, I am not some witch. I loved my brother, hot-headed and stubborn as he was.
|
Genuine when talking about her love for her brother. Stern when recalling how everyone thinks she is evil.
|
184
|
He got too big for his britches one day, as he often did, and sampled some of his product. Became addicted to Blood.
|
|
185
|
There's no weaning off Blood. No cure, no ten step plan. You stop taking it, and you die.
|
Grim.
|
186
|
007452FA
|
00745324
|
A jokester. Who would've thought I'd be bested by a clown?
|
Sad, but still a bit amused by the player.
|
187
|
Although I do hope you can muster up enough sincerity to listen to reason.
|
Still trying to appeal to the player's rationality.
|
188
|
007452FB
|
0074531A
|
You could say I have a bit of a poetic streak. As for Fabio, he's more of an actor than a poet.
|
A bit darkly amused.
|
189
|
He lives in his verbiage instead of writing it.
|
Insightful, observational.
|
190
|
Nevertheless, I do hope you can look past my honeyed words to see through to their meaning.
|
Hinting that Fabio is a liar.
|
191
|
007452FC
|
0074533B
|
Yes, and I suppose you've also heard I'm a complete madwoman. That I stand in the streets stark naked swapping war stories with radroaches.
|
Keeps her tone level. Dry humor.
|
192
|
And on the other hand, there's the truth.
|
Smooth and profound.
|
193
|
007452FD
|
00745330
|
And what would that something else be?
|
Charming.
|
194
|
007452FF
|
0074531E
|
Well don't be shy. Let me see.
|
Trying to hide how interested he is in this.
|
195
|
Hmmm...
|
Thinking to himself. Scheming.
|
196
|
This is very intriguing. The book is odd, I can't say I know what that is. But it looks hollow...perhaps it fits somewhere?
|
Speculating. Trying to piece things together.
|
197
|
As for the vial, that's obviously Devil's Blood. The designer chem native to Atlantic City.
|
|
198
|
Produces the most potent high of any substance in the world, if the claims can be believed.
|
|
199
|
Wonder why the old hag had that. Maybe she's dancing with the devil? She doesn't look like she's got the shakes to me.
|
Thinking to himself. Getting excited about possible scandals.
|
200
|
Either way, these don't mean anything on their own. Chase the leads. See where they go. Perhaps there's a bit of guidance to be had.
|
Becomes a bit commanding.
|
201
|
00745301
|
00745334
|
Oh, arbiter... Why do you ask questions you don't want the answers to?
|
Sinister, cold.
|
202
|
"Kill" is a very decisive action. Let's just say that, depending on what evidence you acquire...
|
Cold, weirdly playful.
|
203
|
I will measure up my actions to meet it.
|
|
204
|
00745303
|
00745323
|
Now that's an easy one. You bring it back to me. And I will act accordingly depending on what you've found.
|
|
205
|
However, if you find it necessary to...expedite the process for me...let's just say I would be very pleased.
|
Hinting coldly that he would prefer if the player just kills Concerta.
|
206
|
00745305
|
0074533A
|
Your best bet's the Neapolitan Casino. Concerta lives in the high roller suite there, gorging on luxury.
|
|
207
|
Between you and me, there's an underground tunnel that goes between Quentino's and the Neapolitan, so you can detour through there.
|
Telling the player something secretive.
|
208
|
Of course, it won't be cut and dry to break into her room. She's probably got it locked up tight. You'll have to be a bit crafty.
|
Amused imagining how the player might break in.
|
209
|
00745307
|
00745327
|
Ah, it's hard to describe a viper like Concerta Lombardi in mere words. She's...difficult to pin down, and even harder to trap.
|
Musing to himself.
|
210
|
She's the don's little sister, as you know. That position has afforded her a great deal of power that she didn't earn.
|
Trying to hide the fact he's bitter about it.
|
211
|
Unlike me, she doesn't have much of a silver tongue. More of a lead one. She is ruthless and cutting, doesn't mince words.
|
Bragging.
|
212
|
Though I've heard she has a bit of a soft side. Philosophical, even. I have yet to see that.
|
Doesn't like complimenting his rival at all.
|
213
|
She's been calling the shots around here lately, says Quentino's been sick. As you can imagine, I don't buy it.
|
He's a bit annoyed by this whole ordeal. Thinks he's too important to be kept in the dark about things.
|
214
|
I know something happened. It's just a matter of what, and how much involvement she had in it.
|
Determined, resolute.
|
215
|
00745309
|
00745344
|
Yes, let's.
|
Sinisterly happy.
|
216
|
0074530B
|
0074532A
|
By all means, ask away.
|
Charming, suave.
|
217
|
00745311
|
00745328
|
I'm...not sure what you're getting at here. Crime is crime, as I'm sure you know.
|
Caught off guard by this question. Doesn't like that the player is digging for answers.
|
218
|
We can't very well have cutthroats running around mugging people on our streets now, can we?
|
Charming, asking a rhetorical question.
|
219
|
I don't know any of these ne'erdowells personally. I don't know why they do what they do. Only that it's...wrong.
|
Feigning ignorance.
|
220
|
00745313
|
00745325
|
Oh, nobody of importance. That I can assure you of. They're just a bunch of street rats looking for quick caps.
|
Dismissive, nonchalant.
|
221
|
I hear they're led by a woman who calls herself Jordy. Might want to try looking for her.
|
|
222
|
The others are her nameless lackeys who can do naught but follow.
|
Pretentious and judgmental.
|
223
|
They just want money. Plain and simple.
|
|
224
|
00745315
|
00745317
|
Of course. I'm sure you have many questions. I will endeavor to answer them.
|
Suave, charming.
|
