Choice Text and Results

Shake him awake

church%20refugee.jpg

Normally:

He panics when you shake him, flailing about with his arms. You're not sure if he's trying to punch you, but he's getting awfully close.

(Fight Unwashed Man)

With 3+ Midgard Security Outfit parts:

The man awakens with a start and gives you a smile you suspect is supposed to be disarming. He shuffles off as fast as he can without actually running, disappearing out of sight.

(Walk Away)

With 3+ Bum Outfit parts:

He wakes up and blearily looks around. "Hey, you got some Eclipse? They give that shit out like candy, but I can't find the candy store."

"They say it'll make this a bit better, you know?"

With 3+ Containment Suit parts:

He wakes up blearily, staring up at you, then snaps to rigid attention. "Oh God, it's here too. No! Noooo!"

He runs from the cathedral, drawing all eyes towards you.

With Priest Outfit:

He wakes up and blearily looks around. "Hey, I'm just taking a nap, you know. All the guys out there saying Eclipse is so great, I don't need any of that, just a place to sleep."

He looks at you hopefully.

Give him a crate

You hand him the crate while nobody is looking. "Oh, this is great. I've heard so many good things… all your problems disappearing like dreams."

He gives you a jagged grin that might be threatening if he weren't so obviously in a good mood. "And let me tell you, I've got a lot of problems."

(Lose crate of Eclipse)

Hand a few pills

You pass the pills over and his mouth splits into a jagged grin. "Ahhh, yeah, that'll hit the spot."

He takes a the tablets you handed over and wanders, gazing up at the stained glass looming over head.

(Lose ?? Eclipse)

Contradict them

After you explain the situation, he looks you over. "Sounds like some mean stuff. I just wanna good time for once."

He seems disappointed, but thanks you.

Explain Eclipse

After you explain the situation, he nods along. "Yeah, I shoulda known better. Can't get something for nothing… there's always a catch, 'specially in Metroplex."

He seems disappointed, but thanks you.

Just listen

You listen as he rambles, hearing more about Eclipse and about the troubles of living on the street, particularly downtown. From what he says, Midgard security kick them out of everywhere but the church and a few hiding places people've found underground.

The conversation wraps around several times, but it sounds like a lot of his friends have started using Eclipse instead of alcohol, because "it's cheap and nobody wants to see what we see every day."
