#working class woman

[itscuntingseason]

playing disco elysium again, but this time i'm really paying attention to all the side quests and making the most of it (i literally finished the game on day 5 in my first run), except i took on the case of "finding working class husband" and then i remembered..... the dead drunk guy i found during my first run :(

#text #disco elysium #my heart breaks for working class woman i was so sad when i realised who her husband was #that line of 'he is a kind and helpful man and he's also a drunk' #it's so painful when you know someone is caring and kind but they still suffer from addiction #working class woman #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi #her line about how his addiction just makes her feel so helpless broke me too

"They are at home, right? Smoking cigarettes."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "What? That's just -- my daughters are perfectly *fine*. They're with their friends down in Jamrock! There's *nothing* to worry about."

EMPATHY [Challenging: Success] - She's getting upset. Her voice has risen, as she tries to convince herself that her daughters are safe.

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "They're almost grown up now anyway. They're past the age they need me protecting them from everything now."

"I'm afraid the danger is now greater than ever. Tell me, how old are they?"

"Maybe you're right. Maybe they aren't missing after all. Tell me something else..."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "My youngest girl, Jolie, is just shy of sixteen. Jennie, she is turning eighteen next month. But we shouldn't even be talking about them!"

"And can you describe me their appearance? Any features that stand out, something to make identifying a little easier?"

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Why do you need to know this? Haven't I repeatedly told you that they are not missing? That they're in Jamrock, safe and well, at some stupid party."

"It's for the investigation. I'm trying to be professional."

"You're right, let's not talk about your daughters. I don't know what got into me."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "There is no *investigation* here, I can tell you that!" She picks up a book and tries to concentrate. A flock of seabirds passes by.

3. "Maybe your *cockatoo* is missing?"

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "I don't mean to disrespect, sir, but *you* are being a bit of a cockatoo here."

KIM KITSURAGI - "For what it's worth -- I agree. But cockatoos can't be stopped when they get like this. It's better to indulge him at this point."

"Ma'am, I was asking about your cockatoo. Is it missing?"

"What do you mean I'm being a cockatoo?"

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "I don't even have a cockatoo. And guess what?"

"What?"

"Alright, cockatoo not missing. I just wanted to make sure."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Even if I had, it wouldn't be missing."

"Alright, cockatoo not missing. I just wanted to make sure."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Great." She turns her attention back to the bookstand.

"Just one more question: what did you mean by me being a cockatoo?"

"Great. Got it."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Nothing. Go read up on them if you're so interested. There's a great book in the bookstore."

INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Maybe you should... What if the cockatoo is your *astral captain*? Or your *heraldic bird*?

"Actually, that's exactly what I'm going to do, thanks for the tip." (Get task.)

"You're being sarcastic. Let's talk about something else." (Move on.)

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Wonderful. The store is open."

New task: Find your heraldic bird

5. "That's all for the moment. I'll let you read." [Leave.]

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - The woman before you nods and returns to her reading.

THOUGHT COMPLETE: JAMAIS VU (DEREALIZATION)

BONUSES: +1 XP for every orb clicked All Intellect learning caps raised by one

SOLUTION:

Jamais vu. The opposite of déjà vu. Not *already* seen, but *never* seen. Everything that should be familiar appears strange and new. Like some half-forgotten day in your childhood, only *now*. That's the feeling you've been having. And for who knows how long? You should go and ask Joyce Messier about this -- what world are we in? This is the fundamental question.

Before moving on, let's check in with Annette.

ANNETTE - "Hello again, sir!" You see Annette sipping on her hot juice. She looks at you with shy amusement.

6. "Who is that?" (Point to the woman browsing books.)

ANNETTE - "Oh, that's auntie Billie. She's nice, if a bit distressed."

"She's your aunt?"

"Why is she distressed?"

ANNETTE - "No-no, sir. She's a working woman who comes to look at the books a lot."

"Why is she distressed?"

ANNETTE - "I think she has a bad husband. Not very nice or helpful."

8. "Okay, bye. See you around, Annette." [Leave.]

Hm.

"This little girl over there told me you have a bad husband."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Excuse me, a *bad husband?*" Her back straightens. "What do you mean?"

"Not a nice and helpful sort."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Do *police men* just go around repeating what some kid off the street said?"

EMPATHY [Medium: Success] - She doesn't mean to be antagonistic, but she can't help coming off defensive.

"Those were her words, not mine. I'm merely asking."

"She isn't just some 'kid off the street'. She seems very mature for her age."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Is she now?" She dries her hands in the apron underneath her coat. Her eyes narrow.

"Annette's a sweet sprout, but she doesn't know anything about marriage. Why am I even talking about this..."

"So you don't have a bad husband?"

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "No, I don't. I have a good husband, the kind and helpful sort. And he's *not* missing."

EMPATHY [Medium: Success] - He's totally missing.

That brings us back to a conversation branch we've already seen, so...

3. "Okay, thanks."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Mhm. You're welcome." She reverts her attention back to the book stand.

5. "That's all for the moment. I'll let you read." [Leave.]

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - The woman before you nods and returns to her reading.

listening to lena finally snap purely because gwen undermined the safety of everyone at the oiar, only to have gwen explain that it was okay because the danger in question is too rich and important to be bad is going to do something to my brain. gwendolyn bouchard i am going to hit you

#THE NERVE TO PULL THIS SHIT IN FRONT OF A WORKING CLASS WOMAN TOO??? #if i was lena i would've actually started throwing punches #tmagp #the magnus protocol #lena kelley #gwen bouchard #gwendolyn bouchard #tmagp 16 #tmagp 16 spoilers #tmagp spoilers

lets say hypothetically that i wanted men to die and suffer for all time

#which is more than the money made annually by the 50 biggest companies in the world btw #apparently icelandic women went on an unpaid labour strike in the 70s and it brought the whole country to a standstill can we pLEASE bring #this back!! #a;so the countries with the smallest divides #it isnt that the men do more #its countries with better social care etc #WHICH MEANS the gap still exists #just becomes a class AND gender gap #the average USamerican woman spends more than 4h a day doing unpaid work #which is literally like a second job #imagine what u coudl do with an extra four hours in ur day

[frodo-a-gogo]

It's me, Victor, and the kids here. We have two daughters, Jennie and Jolie.

Give me champagne! I'm going *in*.

AUTHORITY - There's no need for champagne when there's honour, recruit. Go and tell the working class woman what you found *right now*.

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Hmm-hmm-hmm..." She's still searching for a book, her eyes wandering over the colourful grid of softcovers.

"Protect and serve, madam! I found your husband."

"You were right that I'm a cockatoo."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "God damn it, I already told you -- my husband isn't missing!" She crosses her arms.

"But you said you didn't know where he was."

"Well, I found him nevertheless. I'm that good."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "And I specifically added that I didn't *need* to know where he was."

"Well, I found him nevertheless. I'm that good."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Very well, then. Where is he?" She's getting impatient, her hands now picking on a random book cover.

"There." (Point to the working class drunk down near the sea.)

"Right around the corner. He has pissed himself."

"Our hammer toting comrade was at the bottom of those stairs."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Excuse me?!" She blinks. "I don't follow."

EMPATHY [Medium: Success] - There's something else hiding in her voice though -- a trace of worry.

"I found a working class drunk and I thought he might be yours."

WORKING CLASS WOMAN - "Right, 'cause working class women come with alcoholic husbands." She glances over your shoulder towards the drunk. "You know what?"
