Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Kenyatta

Dear (Player),
I've figured it all out! I'm basically a genius, but I couldn't have done it without you! Stop by and I'll show you what I've got, okay, partner?

P.S. Wear something cute.

Kenyatta

Progression

Upon speaking to Kenyatta in her room

Kenyatta

Hey you! So, are you ready to be immortalized forever as one of the best detectives of all time?

They're gonna put our portraits in the news!

Player

Good thing I dressed up.

Kenyatta

Huh... yeah, you look pretty damn fine.

Player

What are you talking about?

Kenyatta

Just wait, you'll see.

Check THIS out!

Player

I've always wanted to be famous!

Kenyatta

Really? I always thought it was kind of overrated... but this is a pretty cool reason for it.

Check THIS out!

Upon examining the corkboard

It's some sort of corkboard covered in pictures of various Kilima residents connected via red strings. It only looks a little unhinged.

Upon speaking to Kenyatta after examining the corkboard

Kenyatta

So? What do you think?

Player

Um... what is it?

Kenyatta

It's the solution to our case!

One of the people on this board is the Bahari Ripper.

Player

It's awesome! ...What is it?

Kenyatta

Uh, duh? It's the solution to our case!

Player

Totally normal.

Kenyatta

Haha, very funny. This right here is the solution to our case!

One of the people on this board is the Bahari Ripper.

Player

Everyone's on this board.

Kenyatta

Not true. I've ruled you and me out.

But a few of the clues you found lead directly to someone who lives around here.

I found out that the knife you discovered looks exactly like the kind Reth uses... AND he's got a missing slot on his knife block!

Then we've got the bloody shirt. And who do you think of when you think clothes?

Player

...Jel?

Kenyatta

Exactly! Then we've got the mysterious powder.

And we just so happen to have a mysterious shady lady who lives in the woods and sells mysterious powders and potions.

I'm telling you, one of these three is definitely the Ripper!

Player

What about the fur?

Kenyatta

It's the solution to our case!

Not relevant. It was just some old junk.

Player

What about the ring?

Kenyatta

Not relevant. It was just some old junk.

Player

You've really got this figured out.

Kenyatta

I couldn't do it without you... partner.

Look, you're cute. Like, really, really cute. But you gotta stop being so naive!

I'd go talk to our suspects myself, but I'm busy with... other stuff.

So can you go question them for me? Even better, present them with proof!

Don't worry, I already processed all the evidence.

When you get back, I'll have a present for you.

Upon questioning the suspects

Player

I found this knife...

Reth

Oh, hey! I've been looking for that one! Where'd you find it?

Player

In a cave in Bahari Bay.

Reth

Really? Huh. It went missing a few months ago from my block. Wonder how it ended up out there?

Player

Are you a murderer?

Reth

Well, I've got a killer smile. but something tells me that's not what you're talking out.

Player

Kenyatta and I are tracking down the Bahari Ripper.

Reth

The Bahari What?

Oh man, that's good. You actually had me going there for a second!

Anyways, thanks for finding my knife! I'd better go disinfect it...

Like, a lot.

Player

Makes sense. Thanks, Reth!

Reth

Nah, I should be thanking you. This was my second-favorite knife!

Anyways, I better go disinfect it.

Like, a lot. See ya, (Player).

Player

Another dead end...

Reth

Dead end? What, are you investigating something?

Player

Kenyatta and I are tracking down the Bahari Ripper.

Reth

The Bahari What?

Oh man, that's good. You actually had me going there for a second!

Anyways, thanks for finding my knife! I'd better go disinfect it...

Like, a lot.

Player

I found this shirt-

Jel

*gasp* What is that travesty? Who could do such a thing to one of my pieces?

Though... hm, I suppose it is an intriguing use of dye.

Player

Dye?

Jel

Yes, can you not see the entire thing is tained with red dye?

It looks as though someone upended an entire pot onto it.

It has created such fascinating patterns...

I could use something like that for the cape series I'm working on. Where is my notebook? I must write this down at once!

Player

I thought it was blood...

Jel

Blood?! How delightfully macabre. No, I believe if one were to use blood, it would come off as more of a dark brownish color once dried.

Nothing like this wonderfully vivid red.

And what fascinating patterns someone has made in their carelessness... or perhaps it was deliberate?

I could use something like that for the cape series I'm working on. Where is my notebook? I must write this down at once!

Player

Have you ever seen this powder?

Tamala

Not even a hello first, darling? I suppose people these days lack such manners.

Now, be a dear and hand that over, would you? Let's take a closer look...

Player

Recognize it?

Tamala

Unfortunately, yes. Though only a monster would use such a substance.

Player

Is it deadly?

Tamala

Yes, quite deadly... to one's tastebuds.

This, darling, is a baggie of... *pumpkin spice*.

Take it away before I accidentally inhale any. Oh, I can feel my cough acting up again!

Never darken my doorstep with that poison again, or I'll be forced to take more serious action.

Upon returning to Kenyatta

Kenyatta

Hey! Any luck with your stuff?

Player

I cleared all the suspects.

Kenyatta

Aw man, really? I could have sworn we were onto something...

Or maybe we are... if the powder wasn't Tamala's, it must be Tish's!

Just look at her! Who else in this village would drink pumpkin spice?!

It makes so much sense. She smiles way too much to NOT be a serial killer!

You go confront her. I'd come with, but I'm kind of doing something important. That I totally can't tell you about.

Upon confronting Tish

Tish

Hey there, (Player)! Can I do anything for you?

Player

You can explain what THIS means!

Player

I have to ask...

Tish

...A baggie of pumpkin spice?

Oh! I remember ordering this. It was for Reth's birthday last year. He just *loves* this stuff.

I have to keep a supply ready or he gets grumpy.

That's strange, though. The merchant told me the shipment was lost on the way from the city.

Player

Do you want it back?

Tish

Um, I think that's alright. You can keep it.

Player

Thanks for the help, Tish.

Tish

Of course! If you need anything else, just holler!

You have a good day now, sweetie!

Player

Another dead end.

Tish

A dead end?

Player

Kenyatta and I are hunting down a criminal.

Tish

Aww, I'm sorry I couldn't help you, sweetie. But I'm sure you'll figure it out! I'll cheer you on!

Player

I'd rather not say...

Tish

Oh, that's okay! I'm just sorry I couldn't help you, sweetie. But I'm sure you'll figure it out!

Conclusion

Upon returning to Kenyatta

Kenyatta

You're back! I mean, uh, cool.

So, find naything out from Suspect #1?

Player

You're right, she's totally suspicious.

Kenyatta

I know, right? Like, who can be that happy and not be hiding a deep dark secret?

Even if she isn't the Ripper, she's got something going on. No one's that boring.

Player

I still think it was a shadvaraak.

Kenyatta

I'm telling you, that's exactly what they WANT us to think!

Still... you went out and did the work, even though you were skeptical.

Player

Nothing useful...

Kenyatta

That's how these things go somethings, y'know? You hit a wall, and then BOOM, breakthrough.

...You're a really good partner.

I was kind of wondering if you wanted to make it official.

I made you this badge... it's what I was working on while you were questioning our suspects.

I haven't actually had this much fun in ages. When I'm around you, I'm never bored.

I'd kind of like to keep doing this, so maybe you could wear my badge? If you wanted.

Player

I'd love to... partner!

Kenyatta

Heh... it's kinda cheesy coming from you.

But I like it.

Player

You mean it?

Kenyatta

Duh. I don't see any other cute Humans around here I could be talking to.

Player

I have fun with you too.

Kenyatta

I didn't actually think I'd ever meet someone who just... gets me like you do.

Just don't break up with me, 'kay?

Anyways, you'd better get out of here before my mom comes up and starts yelling about scandal.

Or you could stay and give her something to really yell about.
