Alright, let me get this straight. You're having trouble coming to a decision. On the one hand, you have a wolf -- not a werewolf, not a hybrid. Just a wolf who everyone sees as a guy. Kind of a loner. Sparse with the dialogue. Fine. On the other hand, you've got a space marine.

Sorry, space mercenary. Yes, I can see how that's different. Totally.

Anyway, you've got this talking wolf guy and this futuristic mercenary pseudo-villain... So why am I here, again?

[Oh.]

You know, that's not how decisions work. You're supposed to eliminate options. Pick one. Not... come up with more.

You have my condolences. Having fun usually means bad news for us.

[dissanguare]

Maybe, but I've dealt with people who make monsters of themselves before. She's bad news, but resisting it at this point isn't going to get me anywhere.

[youhavefailedthiscity]

[ He nodded, having known several people like that. ] Resisting can make it worse. The best we can do is try to convince them to take us somewhere that we do not lose too much, and where we will not be constantly under siege.

[dissanguare]

Any advice on how to make that happen?

[youhavefailedthiscity]

You make them think it was their idea all along.

[dissanguare]

Well, I'm not exactly a stranger to that.

But aren't they supposed to know my thoughts and feelings, too?

[youhavefailedthiscity]

Sure. But that doesn't mean you can't be subtle.

[dissanguare]

Subtle, yes. But it's kind of hard to get the drop on someone who can see you coming.

[youhavefailedthiscity]

Are you sure about that?

[dissanguare]

In my experience, yeah. Yeah, it tends to end badly.

[youhavefailedthiscity]

Then you need to try a different tactic.

[dissanguare]

Well, sympathy's not an option.

[youhavefailedthiscity]

It rarely is.

[dissanguare]

Or threatening. Subterfuge. Can't give up, obviously... [Brooding intensifies.]
