| - Follow me.
- Very well.
- Perhaps another time.
- I had not been in this part of the hotel for some time. Perhaps there is some sort of sporting event that has them agitated.
- I'm afraid that any further negotiations will have to be with my employers, though I'm sure they would be more than fair with you.
- I'm afraid not, Detective. We're really at a loss, which is why I was sent to find you.
- This is ridiculous, you're in charge here. You can't just ignore a crime!
- I suppose a reluctant investigator is better than none at all. Shall we be going then?
- I'm afraid not, Detective. Perhaps you'd better speak with Maxwell for that.
- Thank goodness that's over. Did you need something Detective?
- Looking for a gift to bring back to that special someone?
- Well from what I've seen, I can certainly see why you might feel that way.
- I'm afraid that's all I have on me, but my employers are, well, rather wealthy, and I can definitely put a word in for you.
- Ah, you must have supplies you need to procure. I shall wait for you at the edge of town.
- Ah, hello! I say, you there!
- Ah, you there!
- All our items have that rustic Maine feel.
- Are you a member of the local law enforcement?
- Are you that detective I've heard about?
- At the Cliff's Edge Hotel, just north of the town.
- {Very neutral. not offensive, not suspicious. This is repeated till the player goes in the elevator.} After you, the elevator is right there.
- Come along, it's this way.
- Forgot a personal item at home?
- Go ahead, Detective.
- Hello Detective, did you need something?
- Very good. I shall meet you at the main entrance to the hotel.
- I'm afraid that's all I can tell you right now.
- Detective. Shall we head to the hotel so you may begin your work?
- Let me know if you find something you like.
- Let's be off then.
- Need to restock on hunting or fishing supplies?
- Please, no one else has been able to help me.
- Please, you must hear me out.
- It is probably best Maxwell hasn't seen the state of the hotel. He would be devastated.
- Shall we be off?
- Something for everyone.
- Very good. This way.
- Watch your step, bit of a mess in here.
- Welcome to the Vault 118 Gift Shop.
- Well where are the local police?
- Will you help us solve this heinous crime?
- I was forced to defend myself when a few became a bit... handsy, shall we say?
- It's me, Pearl. I've returned with the investigator!
- You have to help us, there may have been a crime!
- You're back.
- Oh thank goodness. Shall I guide you to the Cliff's Edge Hotel now?
- Drat. The elevators seem to be out of order on this level. We'll have to take the long way around.
- I haven't been able to find any of the local police force, the louts!
- This elevator leads to the exclusive area of the hotel. You should feel quite privileged that they will be allowing you in.
- Several of them tried to grab me and well... their clothing was certainly not suitable for polite company.
- I shall return to my workstation and allow you to take things from here.
- Please, you must help us. Every moment we wait our residents are at risk.
- I don't understand how there can't be a single law officer available.
- Very well. We can commence into the hotel as soon as you are ready.
- There has to be someone you can spare to investigate.
- I really shouldn't say. Not here where there might be... paparazzi lurking about.
- The Cliff's Edge Hotel, just up the coast from town. You really can't miss it. Shall we be off?
- I'm sorry, but the store is closed right now, Detective. There's a murderer on the loose!
- That was quite the commotion. Did you need something Detective?
- I'm fairly certain those windows aren't supposed to open like that.
- Oh yes, well I suppose I do have a bit of petty cash on me that I could provide for your time.
- I wish we still had the staff to keep up this area of the hotel. It's in quite a state of disrepair.
- Oh drat. You look just like the person that Mayor Avery had described. I was sure you were the one investigating that missing persons case.
- Will you help us? There may still be a murderer at large.
- I should warn you, some of the other hotel guests are a bit hm... rowdy.
- Are you sure? You don't seem to have a badge... Oh well, I guess you'll have to do.
- I'm not at liberty to give out my employers personal information, but you will of course be meeting with them if you take the case.
- The registered patrons are in a more exclusive area of the hotel though, and do not associate with this sort of rabble.
- Oh, you are! Finally, I've been looking everywhere!
- Ah good, a working elevator. That will make this much easier.
- I don't want to start a panic, but well, we may have a murder on our hands and we need an outside set of eyes.
- Well, we want to keep this out of the tabloids, but it's Ezra Parker, the financier of the hotel.
- The hotel staff really needs to do something about the lobby.
- I shouldn't say out here in the open, but my employers are quite wealthy. As are the other patrons of the hotel.
- Keepsakes, hunting equipment, and a variety of small personal items.
- Oh, you're a private investigator, not an employee of the state. Well yes, then I suppose a retainer can be arranged.
- Oh wonderful! I wasn't sure how I was ever going to find you.
- Mayor Avery said that someone new had arrived on the island, investigating a missing person. That must be you!
- Looks like it isn't just the police who have been lax lately. The islands building inspector ought to be fired.
- You'll need to speak to Maxwell. Go ahead and activate the control panel there.
- If you change your mind, please head to the Cliff's Edge Hotel.
