Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance It’s gonna hurt if this stabs ya… Wanna try? Oooh, you’re so scary, I almost dropped my weapon! Can you even stand still? You aren’t quakin’ to your bones, are ya? Just take one hit, it’ll feel so nice. For me, of course! Now how will I smack that guy… Victory Cry C’mon~ We’ve yet to face the real enemies, right? This can’t be it~ Books aren’t really fun to stomp or anything… Don’t be ridiculous. I wasn’t even getting started, and you’re done already? Maybe I’ll tear these bookcases apart to vent my feelings? I wouldn’t have come here if I knew this is all you’d offer. Death I can’t… lose in a place like this…! Haha! Ha… That got me good. I hate… getting hurt. Damn it… They were… strong. It’s my fault for being careless. But, but… On Ally Death Hm? Did someone just die? Too bad! I knew you’d die like that one day~ Oh really. That’s all it took for you to go down…? Real impressive, buddy. They didn’t have anything to do with me, so why bother? Nice. That’s one less obstacle to get in my way! On Kill Haha! You guys should’ve seen how shaky this one got just now. Maybe I could’ve let you land a hit or two as consolation? Shoulda dodged that, buddy~ Welp, no point regretting when you’re dead. What’re you, a water balloon… I only slightly poked you, palio? Lame~ This is boring. Got anyone better?

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Aw, man… Go easy on me, will you. I don’t like getting hurt. What are those? Hmm, they do look like ingredients, but… Don’t you wonder what you’ll spill if I cut you open with this thing? All I’m seeing is a herd of scaredy little pigs. I only had three bowls for breakfast this morning… You’re making my mouth water. Victory Cry Weak ingredients like these tend to be tough to chew, too. Aah, I wanna get back and enjoy some hot meat. This whole battle was like eye candy… I’m hungry for some now. They felt different from the ingredients we usually find in the Backstreets. Nothing’s better than taking a big bite of meat after battle, too bad they didn’t have any… Death Ngh… Never thought… I’d be the victim… I lost to the likes of them… This is so embarrassing. To think that I’d turn into a book… This feels so icky and awful. Huh…! I guess I still had much room for improvement… It’s kind of upsetting that I lost the chance to chop you guys up… On Ally Death That guy died. Not saddening, though. What a shame. You could’ve made a fine ingredient. Don’t care if you’re on my side, I’m the one who’s getting the meat! Can’t believe you were knocked out by that. Pathetic. Soft ones aren’t tasty anyhow. On Kill Meat or man, there’s got to be a weak spot or two. I should strike the meat’s vital point lest I want to be hit by its flailing little paws. Next time we meet, try to be a more classy bag of meat. Oh dear… That ingredient was too squishy. I was hoping to butcher you some more… Shame.

Key Page stories

A Backstreets Butcher, Page 1

District 23 is the street of flavor. Everything is permitted in the pursuit of making delicious dishes. Even dismembering humans. Isn’t that exciting? ‘A guest walked into a restaurant for a meal, but then the chef fell in love with them! They had the perfect amount of tenderness and girth. The chef pulled out a knife, and the guest ended up on a plate. You'll become the food you appreciated one day, and others will appreciate what you've become.’ It’s a common story often told in these streets. Well… If you really become the main character of one of those tales, be honored. That means the chef saw you as excellent meat. Hmm? This is one of the best compliments you can hear in District 23. The more you know~

A Backstreets Butcher, Page 2

Butchering a human is a lot simpler than butchering other animals. Most of them are smaller than us. Which means we can subdue them right away even if they try to resist. Oh, I’m not saying you necessarily have to be tall to be a butcher, so don’t be discouraged. Anyway, humans can be a bit noisy, but they’re very handy to deal with overall since there’s little to worry about compared to other meats. Besides, the uhh… ‘The Eight Chefs’? For them, human meat is the one and only ingredient that matches their pursuit. Some buzz about how the process of cooking should be part of the flavor… You can’t do that with any other meat. So you’d better watch it. If you dare wander this part of the town, your destination might end up being a dining table.

A Hook Office Fixer, Page 1

Back when we were still part of the killer Syndicate, we got a client asking us to hunt some crazed Syndicate. They were shaking like a drenched rat as they came in. I suppose they were scared of places like this. They asked us to catch the wicked criminals kidnapping people in the parts of the streets they live in. We had one question, though; it’s nice that they’re giving us a job, but why ask a Syndicate like ours instead of going to the Zwei or other Offices that are better suited for handling public safety issues? And they said, they did try to request an Office at first with the money raised by their neighbors. But then the Office asked for a ridiculous sum of money, claiming that there’s much preparation they need to take before they can uproot a whole Syndicate. Poor fellow begged for help, but the Office personnel didn’t even flinch. Well, money is the only thing that gets Fixers moving, so that’s understandable. And I think their friend recommended us to them while they were looking for another way, if I remember it right? Introduced us as a trustworthy Syndicate. So they came all the way to our hideout. Trustworthy Syndicate… It’s a shame, really. I can still remember the client’s head staring daggers at me, hanging from the top of a power pole. The Syndicate paid us more cash. What could I do about it? We don’t write official contracts or anything, so the highest bidder gets our favor. No use glaring at me like that, pal. We were told by our new client to hang their head and guts out in the streets, to make an example of ‘em. Those sickfucks even used some kinda Singularity to keep ‘em alive. Poor bastard. Shoulda requested an Office in the first place somehow.

A Hook Office Fixer, Page 2

Backstreets are spread all over the City, and the Nests are no exception. But all this means is that “there are Backstreets in the Nests”, since the Nests are completely segregated from the Backstreets in terms of access. Each Wing employs their own methods like electric fences or plasma walls, and some just fence the boundary with a couple of loose chains. Needless to say, the Backstreet residents don’t even think about crossing the border, regardless of how insecure it looks. If I had to point out one thing the Backstreets and the Nest have in common… It’d be that residents of the Nests can get a good view of the Backstreets, and vice versa. Hey, did you hear that? Watching the Backstreet’s apparently a trend among Nest dwellers these days. After a day’s work, they sit by the windows and look out on the streets, cracking open a can of beer… Chat with their friends about what they witnessed last evening. Hell, there’s even a club dedicated to that, apparently. Isn’t that absurd? People in the Backstreets live from day to day with their lives on the line, and their struggle is nothing more than entertainment to those who live inside the Nest.

Unused Dialogue

The following dialogue appears to be intended for this reception. However, it is not used in-game; the Hook Fixers and Backstreets Butchers simply use their regular dialogue instead.

Hook Fixers (unused)

Combat Entrance This bud over here has cool-looking gear too? Don’t you think we’d make good partners, buddy? It’s gonna hurt if this stabs ‘em… Wanna try it together? Do you also like pinning and crushing your enemies? Hmm? I can be meat too? That’s fresh! Victory Cry Woohoo, working with like-minded friends made this so smooth and easy, eh? District 23, I see… I like your way of thinking! Didn’t expect to see someone so agreeable outside of my oregano… How curious?! Maybe I’ll tear these bookcases apart to vent my feelings? Let’s do it together! Death I can’t… lose in a place like this…! Haha! Ha… That got me good. I hate… getting hurt. Damn it… They were… strong. It’s my fault for being careless. But, but… On Ally Death Nyeh… I thought they were a decent buddy, but they were too brittle! Was that imposing look just for show… Such a shame~ And I thought you looked pretty tough too. The bigger the expectations, the bigger the letdown will be~ Well, that guy didn’t have anything to do with me, if you ask me? On Kill Our teamwork was perfect! Wanna high-five? Let’s rip and tear together! Whether they’re book or anything. Separating meat, huh… I wanna try that, too!

Backstreets Butchers (unused)

Combat Entrance We met each other by coincidence… But, we might be good partners? Let’s end this quickly together. You also like this? That’s a fascinating hobby you have. I feel like we could wipe them out clean. You know, you smell pretty delicious too? Victory Cry You said you’re from the Hook Office… That’s a lovely name. Today’s battle was satisfying. These fellows were pretty good for how young they are. I still haven’t had enough… Maybe I should explore another place for new ingredients? I won’t be sated until I rip something apart. Anything will do… Death Ngh… Never thought… I’d be the victim… I lost to the likes of them… This is so embarrassing. To think that I’d turn into a book… This feels so icky and awful. Huh…! I guess I still had much room for improvement… It’s kind of upsetting that I lost the chance to chop you guys up… On Ally Death That one just died. Shame, I liked them a little… Aww… I was excited to meet such an amicable friend in a long while. It’s unfortunate, but it shows how weak you really were to be bested by the likes of them. Don’t worry. I’ll kill them all. That weapon of yours seemed rather strong, at least. On Kill It’s been a long time since I worked with others… This is, so thrilling. Maybe I could try using a big hook like the ones they’re wielding next time. I didn’t quite think we’d work so well together.
