You’re not keen on giving every enemy you meet a second chance, especially after how that went with that pack of <span class="mu-r">BEAKWOLVES</span> you dealt with when you first rolled into this world… Wait, was that the same pack? Are you being beakcist right now? Crap!
Doesn’t matter now. Lowering your blade to your side, you shift your gaze towards the Skog. Volk, you begin, maybe this guy could use, y’know… some good role models? Eh?
She blinks. “I dunno, Rook… it’s pretty crowded already at dad’s shop… and I’m always knocking over products-”
You were talking about <span class="mu-b">THE LAMPLIGHTERS</span>, you clarify, you know-
“That’s a <span class="mu-s">GREAT</span> idea, Rook!” Exclaims the amazon as a wide smile plants itself on her face! “Say, keep this up and you’ll be promoted!” The girl’s armor shifts as she moves to offer a hand to the troubled youth. “Whaddaya say, kid? Wanna put that gumption towards the community?”
“Why? I fuckin’ hate the community!” Replies the fishboy with a mixture of disbelief and confusion in his tone! “‘Sides, aren’t you guys always turnin’ up dead?”
“W-we’ve got a high turnover rate, it’s true…” Volka answers with a nervous giggle, “But one day we’re gonna change the face of Crossroads forever! For you, for me… for… for <span class="mu-i">EVERYBODY!</span>” Leaping to her feet to adopt a heroic pose, you can’t help but be a <span class="mu-i">little</span> inspired by Volka’s enthusiasm…
“Does it pay?”
The Skog’s stance buckles almost immediately. “Hm? Wha?”
“Does. It. <span class="mu-i">Pay.</span>” Repeats the robber with growing impatience. “If I’m gonna join yer’ little suicide squad I should at least get paid, don’tcha think?”
“He’s got a point…”
Quiet, TT!
“Well, uh…” Volka continues uneasily, “S-service begets service, and some folks give out treats when you help them, so-”
For a brief moment your Marshall sends a pleading glance your way. Looks like she might need some help…
How do you convince this guy?
>Threaten him! It’s this or jail, creep!
>Excite him! Think of all the stories you’ll have and the gals you’ll impress!
>Bribe Him! What if you paid him a little to start out?
>Appeal! Does he WANT to make Volka sad?
>Lie to him! You’re a member and look how tough you are!
>Reverse Psychology! Yea, he’s probably a wuss!
>TT? Any ideas?
>Forget it, Volk. This guy’s a jerk!
>Write-In!
