DescriptionLog Entry
Speak to Vinny CostaVinny mentioned that he might have another job for me. I should go check in with him.
Check in on Herschel KleinSpoke to Vinny, and he wants me to check in on Herschel Klein. It sounds like Herschel hasn't been pulling his weight lately and is distracted from his bartending.
Collect Jacque's Writings (#/#)Herschel is down in the dumps about having writer's block. He wants me to go to Torrance House and look for the writings of a ghost named Jacque.
Return to HerschelI found all of Jacque's so-called writings. I should get back to Herschel with them. I wonder if I should tell him that Jacque was a malfunctioning robot and not really a ghost?
Report back to Vinny CostaAll right, Herschel seems to be feeling much better and inspired now after handing over Jacque's writings. Time to report back to Vinny and get some caps.
