>>12205898With Lilligant gone, your next conversational target becomes Grumpig. You return to the front door to catch up with him.
"Grumpig! Mr. Grumpig!" you call to him, "Huh? Well hello little boy! How are you this fine night?"
"I'm fine, thank you. But I need to inquire you on a very important matter. You own this place, right? Can you tell me about it?"
Grumpig scratches his chin, "That would be the case yes, the establishment came to be after the Radio Tower crew kicked us out, and the tower itself was conceived by me due to a near-death experience I had as a Spoink. From the on I was kinda lonely, so I made a place dedicated to everyone else who had people that did care for them, that way I can look from afar, and then at myself, and feel ashamed for being a fat pig. Do you understand that kind of mentality?"
Rigel scoffs, "Seeing as how I'm not a fat pig, not in the least."
You smack him with your bone club, "Excuse him, he's got a few screws loose. Anyhow, thank you Grumpig, now, since you seem to be a pretty wealthy guy, can you tell me if you knew a woman in this town named Mary?"
Grumpig gasps, "Mary? You mean my old cleaning lady? Of course I knew her! She dusted forever and ever, got every nook and cranny, I was afraid to see her go too, why do you ask?"
You begin jumping in awe, finally, someone that knows her! But...A realization strikes you, "Wait...Huh? "Old", "See her go"...You mean...?"
Grumpig nods, "Yes, she quit about a month ago. She looked really sad just before she left and honestly didn't want to go through with it, but she told me her other jobs were higher priorities. I of course, understood."
"Wait...Other jobs? She had more than one?"
