Ms. %playername. I am special agent Deacon Troopel.
Intro2
Welcome to the town. I won't bother you with any questions, since you are new here.
But if you see anything out of the ordinary, let me know.
Seasonal[]
SpringGen0
Spring is a mysterious season. Life is reinforced, and dormant species wake up.
But for me, Spring always carries that hidden essence of decay.
The green leaves will become compost in the months to come. And all life sprouted from nature's verdant bosom will soon begin its march towards oblivion.
Is that all there is? An endless cycle from birth to death?
SpringGen1
Many legends surround these mountains. Half of them are fairy tales. It's the other half I'm concerned about.
SummerGen0
My investigations are nearly fruitless. I spend a lot of time with the townsfolk, but they are tough nuts to crack.
Always very careful not to let anything slip away for another person. Perhaps if I befriended them more...
SummerGen1
Sometimes, clues appear when least expected. It takes determination and persistence to get to the bottom of things.
Being in the right place and time helps, too.
FallGen0
%playername! I hope you are making progress with your farm! Sometimes I wish I had a farm of my own...
Maybe when I retire. But that will take some years. And I still have many cases to solve!
FallGen1
No matter the season, pine trees will never shed their mantle of green. The human spirit should take example from this.
Is our spirit green too? Possibly.
WinterGen0
Winter is the season I appreciate the most. Not because I'm particularly fond of the cold...
...but there's not a more perfect time to enjoy a hot, steaming cup of black coffee.
WinterGen1
Winter is a hard season to keep check of one's movements. Many suspects have managed to slip away during a storm!
Gifts[]
Love
%playername, I don't know how to thank you enough for this present!
Like
That's great! Thank you so much!
Neutral
That's nice of you.
Hate
%playername, that's the single most awful thing I've ever been presented with. Please remove it from my sight immediately.
Locational[]
Clinic
The doctor seems to be a decent person. But I sense that he carries some sort of burden.
I took some psychology courses back at the academy, but I sense that they, alone, won't suffice.
Diner
Mrs. Penny makes a hell of a coffee! And the dishes are great, too!
Showroom
People are more relaxed when having a drink. I know I need one sometimes.
Mr. Thorne sure has a great establishment here. As a character, I feel that he is a bit more...layered than the average person should be.
But then again, he is not an average person.
Sheriff
I am in close cooperation with the Sheriff. Teamwork is key for efficiency.
You know, in every movie, when some Federal Officers just appear and take control of everything? Pfft. What a bunch of bollocks!
VictimHouse
Ah, hello %playername. I am visiting the Rivings. Nothing special here. Just checking.
Farm
This sure is a nice farm. A lot of work has been put into it.
HRoom0
The other night, I had a strange dream. A giant appeared before me, and gave me three clues.
For the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. Weird, huh?
HRoom1
I usually exercise when I'm alone in my room. That, or I record my thoughts.
ToClinic
I'm off to have a chat with the doctor.
If age brews cynicism, then the doctor is quite old indeed.
ToDiner
Well, time for me to visit the diner. I'll never give up on coffee. Never ever!
ToFarm
I'm on my way to Bernadette's farm. She has given me the impression of a strong, independent woman.
Even the toughest slabs of concrete have cracks, however.
ToGStore
I'm on my way to the general store. An interesting dynamic, that of the father and the daughter.
The daughter strives for a vote of confidence from her father, and the father is secretly more proud than he'll ever admit.
Sher
I'm going to see Gabriel. He's a decent fellow. He's used, however, to the calmer pace of suburban life. Too used.
Wdmn
I'm paying a visit to the woodman. Kain seems to be hiding something. I wonder what it is.
Vic
I'm off to visit the Rivings.
It never gets easier.
Plot[]
MyrPhtSh
...Really? Maybe that's a new lead! I'll have to keep pressing with my investigation!
MayorDead
A tragic ending for the Mayor. Still I don't believe he was the perpetrator.
DnAftr
I still think about what happened with the priest's son. The darkness inside people's souls is paralyzing to think about.
All we can do is stand up and fight, but which side are we on? The winning or the losing one?
StoneShown
What a peculiar stone. You should keep it.
Alice
I was pretty certain I was on the right track. Now another person is dead.
Bday1
So...today is your birthday, right? Well, I thought I'd drop by and give you a little something.
Bday2
Happy birthday!
Relationship[]
Friend1
I guess I'll have to let you know something.
The reason I am here is that, shortly before you arrived at Gleaner Heights...
...a local girl was found dead. Drowned.
It was the daughter of Clarence and Martha Riving. Her name was Tinsel. She was seventeen years old.
I was officially assigned to investigate this tragic incident. I have yet to determine if it was murder, suicide or an accident.
I hope I'll make some progress with time. If anything catches your attention, I'd like to be the first to hear from you.
Friend2
Hey, you have a moment? Let me show you some fighting moves we were taught back at the academy. First, you step like this...
Friend3
Well, %playername, time to let you in on a big secret!
It's a recipe from my hometown! I hope you enjoy it!
