Hello, sir! Welcome!
NOTE:
Sorry for earlier. Just a way to filter bots.
NOTE:
They'd never say something so stupid!
NOTE:
Here for the fights, right?
NOTE:
I handle the extra challenges! Go see my boss, he'll fill you in.
NOTE:
Hey, newcomer! Have a seat, please.
NOTE:
No, thanks. What's this place, a bar?
NOTE:
Sure is. Best bar in the Slums, I can tell ya!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Not that the bar is high... Ha!
NOTE:
We're an underground bar, and the bar is low so... Ah, forget it.
NOTE:
You should try our VR challenges! You'd fit right in!
NOTE:
VR? Like... Oh, those cabins.
NOTE:
Right. They're free to use. Just take one!
NOTE:
Wait, you didn't explain m...
NOTE:
Leave the chitchat for later! You're clearly not that kind of guy.
NOTE:
(Hmmph... Who does he take me for...)
NOTE:
Look. This should convince you!
NOTE:
Oh man. Been years since I've worn some!
NOTE:
Call it a sixth sense.
NOTE:
Changing in the blink of an eye. Now that's a superpower!
NOTE:
Second nature to me!
NOTE:
Well, you can't exactly interact in this state. Save it for the fights, supercroc.
NOTE:
We'll chat later. Check the VR cabins!
NOTE:
Strange. I lost, but it doesn't hurt like normal.
NOTE:
The VR cabins I'm used to make every hit feel like I'm losing teeth.
NOTE:
Oh, we set the cabins to "normal sensitivity."
NOTE:
That's a setting?! You mean I can't die in here?
NOTE:
Of course not! What a silly idea!
NOTE:
That other cabin must've been set wayyy past the safety limit.
NOTE:
Shay...!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
Hey! How'd your first round go?
NOTE:
Say, what did I just win? Some blue coins?
NOTE:
C-Tokens! Our private currency.
NOTE:
So... I'm not getting any Unis for this?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
But I can convert those C-Thingies into Unis, right?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
Can't convert back or forth. And you can't spend Unis, either.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
Seems like a scam to me...
NOTE:
Well, that's not tooootally true.
NOTE:
You can purchase items from the machine near the jukebox with your tokens, but they're virtual and can only be used inside the VR cabins.
NOTE:
You can also use C-Tokens to skip challenges and to spin our special wheel!
NOTE:
And the restaurant.
NOTE:
Oh yeah! Stupid me, I always forget the main course!
NOTE:
Consider this bar an independent country within another independent country!
NOTE:
Our own money, our own rule!
NOTE:
(Pssst...The actual reason is...)
NOTE:
(Unis are traceable. We don't want any of that government money, or it might trace back to us.)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
Hey, quick question.
NOTE:
I don't recognize some of the people I'm fighting. Aren't VR cabinets supposed to model enemies off of my own memories?
NOTE:
Some are bots created from scratch.
NOTE:
Others are actual citizens whose skills and appearance were recorded, and are played by an AI.
NOTE:
You'll even encounter real folks from other VR cabins, playing live!
NOTE:
That's the beauty of this technology. You can't tell!
NOTE:
So there's a chance some of these people I don't recognize might show up here?
NOTE:
More than you'd think! Ha ha!
NOTE:
Weird... For a minute I thought I was...
NOTE:
Yes. You can imitate people you know. Borrow their appearance and fight style.
NOTE:
Do I look like a coder? We simply bought the cabins.
NOTE:
That doesn't even make any sense! And Shay told me it was impossible.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
Shay! Yes, I remember her. Slums competition! Nasty, nasty!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
Well, we own private servers, separate from the Triweb.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Triweb: (Not translated)
No online bets, no problems!
NOTE:
Puzzles, I'm waiting for your explanation.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Why do I have a 350 C-Tokens hole in my accounting?
NOTE:
You forgot a line in the account journal.
NOTE:
Blaming me?! How dare you!
NOTE:
I didn't make a mistake. You did.
NOTE:
Youngsters these days... No respect.
NOTE:
Why not, dunno... D-Dummies?
NOTE:
The "C" stands for "CounterAttack," because we're the CounterAttack Bar!
NOTE:
This place is our way of pushing back against the laws that outlawed these clubs. It's revenge.
NOTE:
Smells good! Who does the cooking?
NOTE:
Erm... our chef, of course!
NOTE:
Chef? But I haven't seen...
NOTE:
(Psst, not in front of the clients.)
NOTE:
We serve canned food. None of us have time to cook.
NOTE:
We scored an excellent deal on a big supply of Tomatoze Lungfish Fillet!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tomatoze: (Not translated)
Oh man, been months since I've had seafood!
NOTE:
If you beat all the challenges, I'll make sure you get some!
NOTE:
And if you need a cook, I'm right here!
NOTE:
This is unacceptable!
NOTE:
Any problem, madam?
NOTE:
That's because you've been talking instead of eating.
NOTE:
Here's your money, but don't expect me to come back!
NOTE:
Aren't you afraid of losing clients?
NOTE:
I'm doing a favor to all of us.
NOTE:
Believe me, you don't want clients like this.
NOTE:
There you go, sir! Enjoy your...
NOTE:
Oh no... my hand slipped.
NOTE:
Please excuse me. I'll bring you another one.
NOTE:
Boss... I'm sorry...
NOTE:
This was an expensive bottle. I'm way too clumsy...
NOTE:
I don't deserve to work for you.
NOTE:
Puzzles...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
If you choose to let me go, I'll understand.
NOTE:
This is your first job. Everyone makes mistakes.
NOTE:
That's what makes us human. If we wanted a bot, we would have one.
NOTE:
We chose you because we believe in you.
NOTE:
I couldn't say it better myself.
NOTE:
Okay! Then I'll do my best!
NOTE:
Well, I still need to account for this loss.
NOTE:
Guess I'll deduct it from your salary, 'Jaw.
NOTE:
What's going on? It's all glitched out!
NOTE:
Oh no. It's happening again.
NOTE:
Quick, choose any previous challenge and win it!
NOTE:
Isn't that dangerous?
NOTE:
It'll be worse if you don't do anything!
NOTE:
Stop talking! Just do it!
NOTE:
No no, you need to replay an old challenge!
NOTE:
Playing a new one will destroy the space time stability!
NOTE:
Aren't you exaggerating?
NOTE:
You're gonna try to anyway?
NOTE:
Good thing I blocked that option, then.
NOTE:
Oh no, the virus is still spreading.
NOTE:
Get back into it! You need to win one of those challenges again!
NOTE:
You bested our home-made virus!
NOTE:
There never was one. All fabricated. Part of the challenge, if you will.
NOTE:
It was my idea to spice things up! Did you like it?
NOTE:
Sorry. I'll do better...
NOTE:
Just gimme C-Tokens after this, and my opinion will change!
NOTE:
I'll have that ready for the next challenger. Thanks for the advice!
NOTE:
The next one... Of course...
NOTE:
I had no idea! That's so cool!
NOTE:
I found some old pictures stuck in the corner of my desk!
NOTE:
Look! It's Tenderjaw when he was young!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
Isn't that Sharpteeth the Thief?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sharpteeth: (Not translated)
Oh my god, I would soooo freak out to meet a legend like him!
NOTE:
Why the long face, boss?
NOTE:
I've made mistakes and have regrets, Puzzles. You'll understand when you're older.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Nonsense! As a veteran fighter, you're a model for me!
NOTE:
I want to get strong like you and face popular fighters!
NOTE:
And have a metal jaw! That rocks!
NOTE:
You might not want that, though.
NOTE:
But... alright, I'll add these to my photo albums.
NOTE:
Please go back to work now, Miss Bubbles is looking daggers at us.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Bubbles: (Not translated)
Sir! Come back here!
NOTE:
A client left without paying.
NOTE:
I'm super sorry. They didn't leave me with time to react.
NOTE:
That's not your fault, sweety.
NOTE:
We're in the Slums. There are some bad seeds.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
I told you, we need to ask payment before serving!
NOTE:
That isn't how I want to run this business and you know it.
NOTE:
Some badly behaved individuals should not make things worse for everyone else.
NOTE:
Look, I know that guy. He lives in Sector 52X.
NOTE:
I'll talk to him after closing, okay?
NOTE:
Good luck with that. When they run this fast...
NOTE:
You never know until you try!
NOTE:
Your optimism is, in equal parts, grating and motivating.
NOTE:
Citizen. You've vandalized. This place.
NOTE:
What did you do, you insane contraptions???
NOTE:
...or be destroyed.
NOTE:
You're the ones who's gonna pay!!!
NOTE:
I will avenge you... everyone!!!
NOTE:
This... can't be happening!
NOTE:
The heck? What just happened?!
NOTE:
Oh! Right. You did that challenge.
NOTE:
I thought... I thought you were...!
NOTE:
I know! Great simulation, right?
NOTE:
How do you behave against near-certain death?
NOTE:
No better way to find out than tricking players into thinking this is real!
NOTE:
You wouldn't believe how many run away.
NOTE:
But you didn't! You fought adversity, no matter what!
NOTE:
Don't do that again! Ever!
NOTE:
You care that much about us?
NOTE:
Of course I do! Even if you're a sicko!
NOTE:
Hey, 'Jaw. What is this?
NOTE:
Looks like a purchase order to me.
NOTE:
Good question. It's half erased.
NOTE:
Sha..o... Quantity: 100. Ordered yesterday.
NOTE:
Doesn't ring a bell...
NOTE:
(Deliverer) Hey guys!
NOTE:
Here! Your one hundred shampoos.
NOTE:
Don't forget my part of the trade! Ciao!
NOTE:
Oh! They arrived, great!
NOTE:
You know my hair is sensitive, I need these. And they were half price with a bulk order!
NOTE:
Ivy...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: (Not translated)
Besides, my girl also loves that "Fresh Stix Island" flavor and...
NOTE:
Ivy!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: (Not translated)
I know, I know! "Not with the business account."
NOTE:
Dad, it's your fault! You don't give me enough pocket money.
NOTE:
You're 25 and have a job.
NOTE:
No way, you're such a pain! I'm outta here.
NOTE:
Besides... oh gosh, I'm late!
NOTE:
Counting on you to clean up this mess.
NOTE:
Get it...? "Clean?"
NOTE:
Bubbles, humor doesn't suit ya.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Bubbles: (Not translated)
Hey, man. What's going on?
NOTE:
You don't seem so well.
NOTE:
The Haze?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Haze: (Not translated)
It's not as bad down here, but I haven't had a Toxout in almost two days...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout: (Not translated)
I... I'll try and find one!
NOTE:
Thanks, sir... (cough, cough)
NOTE:
(I need to investigate...)
NOTE:
Are you holding up okay?
NOTE:
(Cough, cough) Yeah... I'm okay...!
NOTE:
(Coughs like about to die)
NOTE:
I just can't find any. I'm the worst investigator ever.
NOTE:
I... didn't realize... you were a detective! (cough, cough)
NOTE:
That's so cool! (cough) I am such an idiot.
NOTE:
It doesn't matter! What matters is you!
NOTE:
I'll be... (cough, cough) ...okay!
NOTE:
Wait a minute. That glass next to you?
NOTE:
What about it? (cough)
NOTE:
I put one pill inside the other day (cough) and forgot to swallow it!
NOTE:
Ha! I feel better already!
NOTE:
See, you're a good investigator after all!
NOTE:
No more time to lose. Get back to action!
NOTE:
Not until I've found a pill for Puzzles!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
(Been a while. I should ask Puzzles how he's doing...)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
No... I don't have time to look outside. There has to be one in the bar.
NOTE:
Hey, I'm looking for a Toxout Pill!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout pill: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout: (Not translated)
I was hoping but... Even now, it's closed.
NOTE:
Nothin'... Save from the shame I feel for doing that...
NOTE:
Oh! There's a pill on this pic...
NOTE:
Oh, wait. That's just chewing gum.
NOTE:
This doesn't distribute pills!
NOTE:
I can't see well from down here, but that's no pill.
NOTE:
It's not even anything, really.
NOTE:
Oh no... There's so much.
NOTE:
This is gonna take a while...
NOTE:
Three hours later...
NOTE:
I've searched everywhere. No pill.
NOTE:
Hey, any chance you hid a pill in the trophies?
NOTE:
Good idea! Let me look!
NOTE:
But I found 50 C-Tokens!
NOTE:
Great... I'm...sure Puzzles will like this...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Thank you sir! But (cough) you keep them! (cough, cough)
NOTE:
Hey, Puzzles is sick!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
I know! He's quite an excellent young man!
NOTE:
No! I mean, he's pollution sick!
NOTE:
Oh oh... I already took the spare I had...
NOTE:
I could swear I had one in the bar the other day, but where was it?
NOTE:
Help! Puzzles needs a Toxout pill!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout pill: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout: (Not translated)
He's a strong boy. He'll survive.
NOTE:
I wish I was as optimistic...
NOTE:
Bubbles, what's the future look like for you?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Bubbles: (Not translated)
What brought this up?
NOTE:
We've been running this place for a while now. What's in store for us?
NOTE:
I'm just wondering...
NOTE:
I'll do this until the day I die. I am too attached to this job.
NOTE:
Me, I'd love to take an early retirement. Spend my days on the beach, drinking cocktails.
NOTE:
'Jaw, don't confuse dreams and reality. Atlasia's beaches are dangerous and polluted.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
Sadly. But what if...
NOTE:
What about you, Brok?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
I see myself in a creaking rocking chair, like 90 years old.
NOTE:
The dome would be gone and rendered useless because everyone could finally breathe normally.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Dome: (Not translated)
I'd be living in a fully rebuilt Slums, so much so that we wouldn't call it that anymore!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
And you call me a dreamer!
NOTE:
What a utopia! Ha ha!
NOTE:
Yeah! A fan made this!
NOTE:
Hey croc, congrats on beating the beginner challenges!
NOTE:
Thanks! That was... a piece of cake!
NOTE:
Well, duh! That's the novice category.
NOTE:
Oh, erm... right...!
NOTE:
Well, what do I win?
NOTE:
You've been challenged to a duel!
NOTE:
Yep! He's waiting over there!
NOTE:
Pretty impressive, man! How long have you been fighting?
NOTE:
Oh, sorry! I just realized, I've never given you my name.
NOTE:
I'm Clint!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Clint: (Not translated)
I used to be a boxer years ago.
NOTE:
Brok. And really? I used to be a boxer too.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Oh yeah? That just confirms what I was thinking!
NOTE:
Never mind. Let's fight!
NOTE:
Don't make me wait! I'm excited for this!
NOTE:
You know what, Brok? I'll give you another chance!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Just poke me when you wanna try again.
NOTE:
That was like going back to the old days!
NOTE:
Even more so, since this isn't our first fight.
NOTE:
Gonna settle myself in. Give me a shout when you want to talk!
NOTE:
Woah! If you wanna duel, just tell me!
NOTE:
Hey, not here, Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Ha! I'm on a roll today!
NOTE:
These were tougher but nothing I can't handle.
NOTE:
Let me introduce mys...
NOTE:
I'm Brok, nice to meet ya!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
I know! Very spectacular!
NOTE:
Fan of the spectacle, then?
NOTE:
Ha ha! You can say that. But I practice, myself.
NOTE:
Which is why I requested a duel against you!
NOTE:
Oh, don't you dare give me that look.
NOTE:
You think women don't stand a chance against a tough guy like you?
NOTE:
No, I'm just surpr-
NOTE:
Well, croc, I'm a wrestler-in-training. I can handle you!
NOTE:
I said I wouldn't back down from a challenge. You're not an exception, lady!
NOTE:
Yeeeah! I won, I won!
NOTE:
I... just didn't put all my strength into it.
NOTE:
Wanna have another shot?
NOTE:
Sorry, dad. I lost this time.
NOTE:
Looks like you gave my daughter some trouble!
NOTE:
Your daughter? I didn't realize...
NOTE:
You bet! She takes after her mother.
NOTE:
Oh, come on. I wouldn't be here if not for you teaching me.
NOTE:
Ivy, tell me you'll stay for a while!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: (Not translated)
Just a bit. My part-time job starts in an hour.
NOTE:
Hey, Brok!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Amazing job, man! I can't believe you're almost through!
NOTE:
I wasn't sure I could do it either, honestly...!
NOTE:
But it's not over yet. Your last challenge is a secret!
NOTE:
If I had to bet... another duel?
NOTE:
Man, I won't spoil it for you!
NOTE:
Sounds exciting anyway!
NOTE:
Use the cabin when you're ready!
NOTE:
It... it's you, Sharpteeth! You're really here!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sharpteeth: (Not translated)
Or should I say...{name}!
NOTE:
Take your time collecting your thoughts, man. ...Ooof, you've got iron in those fists...!
NOTE:
Lemme sit. I'm not so young anymore, need to recover after this.
NOTE:
Guess so. You were so slippery, at first I thought I would never hit you!
NOTE:
That's one natural advantage for me!
NOTE:
Not to undermine your performance, but I used to be faster.
NOTE:
I'm retired, although I still come once in a while to check on the new fighters.
NOTE:
Few come this far, I was impressed!
NOTE:
Tell me. What's your story?
NOTE:
Well... when I was a boxer I heard about you so much.
NOTE:
I always wanted to face you, even when I knew I didn't have what it took.
NOTE:
Never thought I'd actually meet you after quitting the boxing scene.
NOTE:
And that I would win, on top of that!
NOTE:
You never really quit though, right?
NOTE:
The fight pits got closed, but then I found out about those VR thingies.
NOTE:
They're a suitable replacement to prevent real injuries.
NOTE:
But I still miss the days where you could really feel your opponent under your hands.
NOTE:
What's cooking, 'Jaw?
NOTE:
Here, your favorite. Supreme delice of worms!
NOTE:
And for our winner...
NOTE:
A delicious antburger!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Antburger: (Not translated)
Hey! I thought you didn't have any!
NOTE:
Yeah, well... I went out for a minute to get one from the closest vending machine. Ha!
NOTE:
That's the least I could do for my current favorite fighter!
NOTE:
You guys are friends?
NOTE:
We sparred for a while. It feels like another life now.
NOTE:
So! What do you think, Brok?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Hmm... Very good! (eats)
NOTE:
The fight or the food?
NOTE:
You... spilled some Tomatoze on your shirt.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tomatoze: (Not translated)
Ha! You're one of a kind, supercroc.
NOTE:
I didn't remember you had such an accent. Where are you from?
NOTE:
Droll, the "village behind the sea".
NOTE:
We had waterfalls as far as the eye could see.
NOTE:
Ahhh, I miss it. Makes me regret my choice, sometimes.
NOTE:
Autarchism, of course.
NOTE:
When that ultimatum came down, I was in Atlasia for a tournament.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
Like all foreigners, I was offered to leave Atlasia or remain forever.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
What could possibly be better here than your homeland?
NOTE:
My city was beautiful and the citizens wonderful, but we were severely lacking resources.
NOTE:
I wanted more from life than being stuck with the same few hundred people around me, day-in and day-out forever.
NOTE:
I couldn't imagine never coming back to Atlasia. I was at the top of my career, and there was so much more to experience here.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
That was short lived, though. Soon after, all fight pits were banned.
NOTE:
Atlasia made its choice, and I was forced to follow along.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
So, I retired to make a new life for myself...and remained secretly in the Slums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
I didn't want my former fame to hound me. That chapter of my life was over.
NOTE:
Time doesn't spare anyone. Nowadays, I have different priorities.
NOTE:
In particular, I am helping with a team to fix the radioactive leak issue.
NOTE:
What? A radioactive leak?
NOTE:
Yeah. More precisely, Chloridum 13.
NOTE:
On the east side of Atlasia, we've identified a number of cracks in the nuclear waste area.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
That's not far from where I live!
NOTE:
It's getting worse... Spreading.
NOTE:
At this rate, the contamination will reach the inhabited sectors in a few months.
NOTE:
Great, more worries...
NOTE:
Sharks are naturally more resistant to Chloridum 13, so that's in part why I'm contributing.
NOTE:
I'm no scientist. None of us really are.
NOTE:
But we're doing what we can to build a dry screed, big enough to cover up all the area.
NOTE:
I had no idea! I'll help ya!
NOTE:
Oh no, I'm sure you're already busy with your own issues.
NOTE:
But you can pay us a visit someday!
NOTE:
Actually... we don't know what the cause of those cracks is.
NOTE:
Even stranger, I could swear I saw a Tribot squeeze itself through one of the cracks.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Stranger: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Tribot: (Not translated)
It was late at night, and I still wonder if I was hallucinating.
NOTE:
Tribots have the ability to compress their bodies to take up less space, but it's not something they usually do on their own.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tribot: (Not translated)
So why would they? Did someone order them to go there?
NOTE:
Anyway! Sorry for my blabbering.
NOTE:
I don't want to bring the mood down any further!
NOTE:
Congrats, champ! That was fun!
NOTE:
I wish I could stay longer, but...
NOTE:
Thanks for the fight, hope we meet again!
NOTE:
Hey... oh, Sharp is already gone?
NOTE:
That's fine. Time for my speech!
NOTE:
You've now completed all the challenges! Congrats!
NOTE:
Well, what did you expect?
NOTE:
Dunno... to end with a bang?
NOTE:
Who said anything about ending? It's a new beginning for you!
NOTE:
Enter the VR cabin again and select the final challenge, you'll get a small surprise!
NOTE:
You're done for, man!
NOTE:
Those... gentlemen burst in here.
NOTE:
Wow. You guys came here? For me?!
NOTE:
I'll teach ya pain!
NOTE:
I was the champ of crushers. You've stained my reputation!
NOTE:
No one boxes me out!
NOTE:
I wanna feel your skin under my claws!
NOTE:
Chicks don't think I'm so hensome anymore!
NOTE:
If it's a fight you want... you're gonna get one!
NOTE:
Okay. Just this once, I'll deactivate the Anti-Scuffle system.
NOTE:
You better not destroy the furniture. Whoever does will pay for it!
NOTE:
I'll help. I don't like the tone of these guys.
NOTE:
Can I join? Can I?!
NOTE:
He broke my nail...
NOTE:
(Cries) Ma... I need my mama...
NOTE:
It's okay big bear. No need to cry.
NOTE:
Well, you asked for it!
NOTE:
(Pants) You all put up a good fight, if that's any consolation.
NOTE:
But I was barely helpful. Brok did all the work.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Guys. Remember what we said before coming here.
NOTE:
"If we can't defeat him, we'll crown him"
NOTE:
(Sniffles) No choice then.
NOTE:
All: You're the ultimate fighter!
NOTE:
Congrats! You've earned it!
NOTE:
For now we lack skills.
NOTE:
We'll train here until we're ready!
NOTE:
New clients. The best gift I could hope for!
NOTE:
Hey, what can I do for you?
NOTE:
Too bad for you. I've built up a resistance to pain over the years.
NOTE:
Don't think you're the first one to try!
NOTE:
I told ya. I'm retired.
NOTE:
(If he was a fighter, I might have encountered him before...)
NOTE:
(But I can't be sure. Ah...losing my memory is dreadful.)
NOTE:
So, those sea coppers...
NOTE:
Yeah, those. How do I get some?
NOTE:
Victory'll get you a lot of C-Tokens, but you can also grind a few from destroying enemies, crates and more.
NOTE:
Even from already completed challenges.
NOTE:
You can also win some with Puzzles' extras and Bubble's wheel.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Puzzles? Bubbles?

📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Did you think we'd use our real names, Brok?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
I have my little secrets!
NOTE:
Anyway, I'm Tenderjaw. Hope you like this joint of ours.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
This is kinda tough!
NOTE:
I know! I designed these challenges!
NOTE:
(What... taking all the credit from us again, naturally...)
NOTE:
The best you can do is...
NOTE:
I mean, yes, you can... if you're ready to fork out a hefty number of your hard-earned C-Tokens.
NOTE:
Just lower the difficulty in the options. Like all losers do.
NOTE:
(Way to go and make me feel insecure about asking...)
NOTE:
Winners, however, use smarter methods like buying V.R. food from the sink.
NOTE:
Select it from the challenges menu. They're one-time use, but you keep it until you win the challenge.
NOTE:
Some challenges are also easier in co-op with a friend.
NOTE:
You have friends, right?
NOTE:
Well, yeah, of course!
NOTE:
Ah! Nice try. But you won't butter us up with pretty words.
NOTE:
Seriously man, don't worry about losing a lot. That's normal.
NOTE:
Don't go busting our hardware because you died ten times in a row! That's life.
NOTE:
Keep at it! Have faith in yourself!
NOTE:
How do I upgrade category?
NOTE:
There are three. Novice, Intermediate and Professional.
NOTE:
Complete all challenges in the category to progress to the next one.
NOTE:
Skip the ones you're stuck on when you're hopeless.
NOTE:
A special boss awaits you in the final challenge.
NOTE:
I thought I was strong, but...
NOTE:
My experience level isn't making any difference?
NOTE:
You're right. Whatever you learned out there isn't going to help you here.
NOTE:
Forget EXP. These challenges require pure skills.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for EXP: (Not translated)
Only the best can beat them all, ha ha!
NOTE:
I don't get it. Why are you all hiding here?
NOTE:
People are suffering every day, in this very street. Criminals are everywhere!
NOTE:
And every day, these strong fighters you've got are wasting their time on virtual stuff when the right fight's out there!
NOTE:
First of all, running a business is not hiding.
NOTE:
"Please stop using the sink to..."
NOTE:
No, not that! The big letters!
NOTE:
Oh. "We don't get involved."
NOTE:
We all do what we have to survive out here, man.
NOTE:
Even if we wanted to, this place is fully soundproof. No one can hear us, and we can't hear the street above either.
NOTE:
If anything, being this far underground has helped people stay clear from the Haze.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Haze: (Not translated)
That alone has probably saved more folks than you might think.
NOTE:
If you say so. I, on the other hand, prefer to act!
NOTE:
Good for you, supercroc.
NOTE:
Ya know, for a "brawl bar" I was expecting more... brawling among the customers.
NOTE:
First, this is the "CounterAttack Bar". You must have imagined that name!
NOTE:
We have a rule for that. It is forbidden to directly attack other customers.
NOTE:
If you want a fight with someone, you gotta request a duel.
NOTE:
Yep. If both fighters accept, I set their stage in our VR cabins to give us a good show! Hah!
NOTE:
In the VR cabin? It'd be better in real life.
NOTE:
Not that I disagree, but I can't have this place turned into a wreck, ya know?
NOTE:
Who knows, maybe someone will notice you and ask for a duel!
NOTE:
Oooh, I hope someone does. I won't back down from any challenge!
NOTE:
Who are those new challengers?
NOTE:
The gang of four? Yeah, they're V.R. regulars from the Slums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
There's Boyd, the macho rooster with a mechanical arm. 33 years old.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Boyd: (Not translated)
Cocky, spunky and arrogant, his good looks can't hide the fact he's a common punk. Very easy to taunt him into a fight!
NOTE:
Not very dangerous. Just watch out for his extendable arm. If you get grabbed, there's no escaping it.
NOTE:
Some say it's a fake prosthetic and his real arm is inside.
NOTE:
Don't tell him that, or you'll get lectured for hours on how and why he replaced it!
NOTE:
Worse, you'll get a different story each time. No one's really sure why!
NOTE:
Who's the big armadillo?
NOTE:
Matt, a delivery guy in his forties. Also a jerk.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Matt: (Not translated)
Mail or goods, he's the fastest at his job, rolling while pulling a back-truck at record speed!
NOTE:
Quite the achievement...! As long as wreckage isn't a concern to you.
NOTE:
He's his own boss in the Slums and business keeps coming anyway, so he couldn't care less.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
During battle, his front shield combined with his own shell provide full protection.
NOTE:
Use your most powerful moves on his shield until it breaks, but be careful.
NOTE:
He can't be stunned while he still has his shield, and can easily strike back against any attacks.
NOTE:
That bear looks tough!
NOTE:
A real killer! Good thing for you this is V.R.!
NOTE:
His name's Rok, age unknown.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Rok: (Not translated)
He doesn't communicate much, and no one has survived to tell his story.
NOTE:
You're joking, right?
NOTE:
Some say he was locked up in some distant country, that he came back for revenge, having mutated, which gave him those huge claws.
NOTE:
Personally, I think he just let them grow long like a lady! Ha!
NOTE:
Anyway, better not let him grab you. That's practically a death sentence!
NOTE:
A wild, vicious beast, I tell you!
NOTE:
Part of me would love to fight him in real life. The more danger, the greater the fight!
NOTE:
Ha! I know the feeling. Life or death situations really bring out the best in a fighter, don't they?
NOTE:
But hey, maybe he's a softie deep, deep inside?
NOTE:
You can't know until you try!
NOTE:
Glad to have some boxing competition!
NOTE:
Sly's not just anyone. He's a 37 year old, former pro boxer like you.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sly: (Not translated)
Unlike you though, he kept training, looking for every opportunity to push himself further as a fighter.
NOTE:
Hey! I still train. I even have a punching bag at home!
NOTE:
Anyway, Sly's not the most approachable person, socially-speaking, and that makes him all the more threatening.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sly: (Not translated)
Don't ever get caught up in his combo! It's so fast that you won't have time to counter or block it.
NOTE:
Tell me something about Mister Warthog?
NOTE:
Oh, Clint! He's a regular.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Clint: (Not translated)
Just a Slums citizen trying his best to earn money for his family.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Also a former boxer, but you may have guessed that from his fighting style.
NOTE:
He lost his boxing gear a while ago and refuses to replace them.
NOTE:
I've heard he's a father, and his son's a mixed breed!
NOTE:
Can you imagine that? A cross-breed between him and an otter!
NOTE:
Right! Must be something...
NOTE:
I didn't expect your own daughter to challenge me!
NOTE:
What can I say? On my end, I didn't expect her to follow in my footsteps.
NOTE:
Usually kids do everything they can to stand out from their parents.
NOTE:
Not her attacks, though! Ouch!
NOTE:
Specifically for you, I told her not to hold back!
NOTE:
Thanks... I guess...!
NOTE:
You know, I almost thought Sharpteeth the Thief was just a legend, but he's here, in the flesh!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sharpteeth: (Not translated)
Yes! Few challengers reach the very top.
NOTE:
He occasionally comes out of retirement for the ones who do. Great job!
NOTE:
I can't believe I beat him!
NOTE:
Very impressive work! You should be proud of yourself. He's a long-time friend of mine, and I never would've been able to beat him.
NOTE:
What do you want to eat?
NOTE:
I could use an antburger right now! With extra Tomatoze sauce!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Antburger: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Tomatoze: (Not translated)
I'm afraid that kind of industrial-packaged, consumer product can only get pooped out by machines!
NOTE:
Heyyyy, I love those!
NOTE:
But if you're desperate, our virtual food sink can provide you some. For a few C-Tokens.
NOTE:
How about a real drink instead?
NOTE:
We've got plenty of flavored, alcohol-free cocktails.
NOTE:
Actually, that's all we have, other than sodas...
NOTE:
Here, first one's free!
NOTE:
Well, I guess the sugar makes you fatter!
NOTE:
Hmph... Not a good sale argument, man.
NOTE:
It's a cocktail. What did you expect?
NOTE:
Crickethopper wings? Crabcake? Grub fillet?
NOTE:
Can't believe I'm saying this but...
NOTE:
Right now, I'm hungry for action!
NOTE:
Ha-ha! In that case, I'll show you our V.R. food products.
NOTE:
Here's our V.R. food catalogue!
NOTE:
Everyone's gotta ask.
NOTE:
Well... one day I woke up, and it wasn't there!
NOTE:
Ha! No way! Don't tell me you're buying into this!
NOTE:
I lost it after too many fights, of course. One in particular.
NOTE:
So broken and disjointed that it became easier to straight up replace it.
NOTE:
Amazing technology Drumers have, isn't it? Looks neat, don't you think?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumers: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: (Not translated)
Your story is similar.
NOTE:
You had better luck than I did, though! Ha!
NOTE:
I'm still up and fighting!
NOTE:
So... you were a fighter... in the Drums?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
Right. Up until the Triangle suddenly outlawed fighting pits.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Triangle: (Not translated)
"Too violent, not safe!" Wretched Government!
NOTE:
I saw the tragedy, but one individual should not have caused a full ban.
NOTE:
To be fair, after my own jaw accident, I considered taking early retirement.
NOTE:
Doesn't matter, though. I'll never forgive them...
NOTE:
The frustrating part is I don't even know who's to blame!
NOTE:
So I did what I had to. I left the Drums, quit the job that I spent most of my life getting into.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
Surveillance in the Slums is more limited, so my goal was to establish a new pit out here.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
But this isn't exactly a fight pit...
NOTE:
True. I changed my mind.
NOTE:
I realized the Slums needed more than fights.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
They needed a place to make friends. Somewhere to find food and shelter when needed.
NOTE:
A fighter's spirit, however, doesn't need a physical place to express itself.
NOTE:
Everyone can enjoy our VR cabins, and they take up way less space!
NOTE:
Isn't the Government aware?
NOTE:
We do what we can to stay out of their notice.
NOTE:
Maybe they know and they're just turning a blind eye to it. The violence here is artificial, after all.
NOTE:
We still get drones and bots that snoop around, but we can handle those!
NOTE:
Isn't that right, Puzzles?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Yup! I grab my trusty broom and shoo 'em off!
NOTE:
Ha! You should see him! It's a riot.
NOTE:
Let's fight someday! Make this one of my challenges!
NOTE:
Sorry, man! I retired.
NOTE:
I can take you on myself!
NOTE:
Don't underestimate me because I'm small...! And inexperienced...!
NOTE:
Not before you're done with your work, Puzzles.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: (Not translated)
Aww. You're no fun, boss.
NOTE:
Hello! I was wondering...
NOTE:
You want to create something? If not, don't waste my time.
NOTE:
Free mode. Create your own challenges.
NOTE:
Wait... So I make challenges just to deal with them myself?
NOTE:
(Maybe I could do some bubbling too.)
NOTE:
(Well...maybe not. Graff has sensitive hearing, he'd probably hate it!)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: (Not translated)
I assume you're the second-in-command of this ship.
NOTE:
Are you? Isn't Tenderjaw the owner?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
I like to let him think that.
NOTE:
We were neighbors in the Drums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
I left the Drums a little after 'Jaw did, but not for the same reason.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
When I finally settled in the Slums, there he was, my neighbor again. Happy happenstance.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
So I figured... if we're gonna be next to each other constantly, better work with the guy!
NOTE:
That's, erm... not what I expected.
NOTE:
Life is full of surprises.
NOTE:
Bubbling a lot, I see!
NOTE:
Very soothing. I need it.
NOTE:
You mean... this is a stressful work environment?
NOTE:
Would you like a name change?
NOTE:
What? I can do that?!
NOTE:
Nothing is off limits down here.
NOTE:
When you have co-op friends, tell them to talk to me so they can rename themselves, too.
NOTE:
Okay. Your fighter name is now {name}.
NOTE:
Weird name, but hey. Who am I to judge.
NOTE:
Alright then, {name}.
NOTE:
So, you want a face change?
NOTE:
For the challenges. You can replay all of them with another character.
NOTE:
What just happened?!
NOTE:
Nothing makes sense! I'm somebody else and this is not V.R.!
NOTE:
Sweety, you better lay off the energy drinks.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Energy drink: (Not translated)
Come and spin our wheel.
NOTE:
10 C-Tokens per try to unlock nice things.
NOTE:
Every spin wins something.
NOTE:
The anticipation is killing me.
NOTE:
(Bubbles)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Bubbles: (Not translated)
I can't tell which section the arrow is pointing at...
NOTE:
Just spin it again.
NOTE:
You've unlocked a bonus challenge. Amazing.
NOTE:
Looks like you've already unlocked all of them, sweetie.
NOTE:
So, from now on you'll get a collectible card instead!
NOTE:
Here is a collectible card for you.
NOTE:
You've unlocked a track for the jukebox. Wow.
NOTE:
(<col=BOLD>{title}</col> unlocked)
NOTE:
You get a 10% discount.
NOTE:
You get a 25% discount.
NOTE:
You get a 50% discount. Amazing.
NOTE:
It will automatically be used the next time you buy V.R. food or skip a challenge.
NOTE:
Can I add those discounts together?
NOTE:
But you can get as many coupons as you want. The deepest discounts are used first.
NOTE:
You've unlocked a surprise...
NOTE:
...a virtual pampalos.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Pampalos: (Not translated)
...a virtual antburger.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Antburger: (Not translated)
...a virtual energy drink.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Energy drink: (Not translated)
(Added to your inventory)
NOTE:
...a free drink. Here.
NOTE:
I...did not expect that...
NOTE:
Well, we're a business, but we still care about our clients.
NOTE:
It's a free way to show it for us.
NOTE:
Not exactly free for me, though...
NOTE:
We agreed to take turns to do it.
NOTE:
Wanna spin it again?
NOTE:
But... you poor thing. You don't even have that much.
NOTE:
Okay. (Bubbles)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Bubbles: (Not translated)
I won't accept this.
NOTE:
You just edited your save file, didn't you?
NOTE:
Fortunately, I can revert the number of C-Tokens for you.
NOTE:
Thank you for doing the right thing.
NOTE:
I can't force you unfortunately.
NOTE:
Just feel the endless guilt that there is now a hole in my accounting.
NOTE:
So, a creator mode, really?
NOTE:
Yes. Do you wanna try it?
NOTE:
Fortunately for you, this is free to use.
NOTE:
And you can make a mess as much as you want. Which you definitely will.
NOTE:
Can I share my superb creations with other players?
NOTE:
Yeah. Use the appropriate "Share" option in the top right of the creator mode and follow the instructions.
NOTE:
As for playing challenges created by others, try the "Download" option.
NOTE:
Phew. I'm relieved you didn't ruin my tablet with those fat greasy fingers of yours.
NOTE:
Hey...! Don't serve food if you can't stand grease!
NOTE:
Let's see what you did...
NOTE:
Well, I expected worse.
NOTE:
Let me know when you want to place your trust in a fighter!
NOTE:
What do you have in mind?
NOTE:
Try our daily challenge!
NOTE:
One new each day, 'til the end of time!
NOTE:
You'll get a few C-Tokens if you win!
NOTE:
Just one... minor thing.
NOTE:
They're procedurally generated, so they're random...
NOTE:
You might run into challenges that are impossible to complete.
NOTE:
I'm still working on improvements!
NOTE:
No worries! I'm ready for anything!
NOTE:
Got a new daily challenge for ya!
NOTE:
Battling foes may pose challenges, yet there's something even more formidable.
NOTE:
It's placing your trust in others!
NOTE:
Choose which fighter or group of fighters you expect to win.
NOTE:
Watch them fight. And if they're victorious, you get some C-Tokens too!
NOTE:
This is entirely free. Give it a try!
NOTE:
Have you noticed? There's percentages next to each group of characters.
NOTE:
This indicates their current morale. The higher the number, the more effort they'll put into the fight!
NOTE:
Of course, a value lower than 100% means the opposite.
NOTE:
The C-Tokens awarded vary accordingly. If you trust a group who isn't likely to win, you'll get more C-Tokens!
NOTE:
Here are the current challengers!
NOTE:
Better luck next time!
NOTE:
(Seems like a cool guy.)
NOTE:
(Pretty rare to see such enthusiastic youngsters in the Slums)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
You... you wanna fight? For real?!
NOTE:
Please don't...! The boss said no.
NOTE:
Lemme tell you! Lemme tell you everything!
NOTE:
I'm an aspiring fighter!
NOTE:
After work, I take VR lessons in martial arts. One day, I'm gonna become a master so I can beat up thugs in real life!
NOTE:
Nah! Your story is just starting. No shame in that!
NOTE:
I wonder. Are those spikes of yours sharp or soft?
NOTE:
Normally they're soft, but I can flex them to make them sharp and protect myself!
NOTE:
That takes a lot of effort though, soooo...
NOTE:
I'm still training to keep them flexed long enough to be useful.
NOTE:
That's amazing! You'll get it someday!
NOTE:
Oh, so you're ready to die! Cool!
NOTE:
Survival mode! It's exactly what it sounds like.
NOTE:
You fight a horde of enemies as long as you can until you die!
NOTE:
Only in V.R. mode, though. No one has died in the cabin!
NOTE:
Would you like the enemies to always be the same, or randomized?
NOTE:
Your record so far is {number} waves!
NOTE:
Time to fight your friends! Or will you team up against computer foes?
NOTE:
I hate to tell you this, but... to do versus battle, you need a friend.
NOTE:
A friend in the real world.
NOTE:
Real world...? Am I in V.R. right now?
NOTE:
Ha! You never know!
NOTE:
Actually, that's fine! We have an alternative!
NOTE:
I had my eyes stuck to the screen the whole fight!
NOTE:
You broke my win streak!
NOTE:
Just one more and I would've reached the 10-wins medal!
NOTE:
That's okay! This means I'll have to work harder.
NOTE:
I heard you're a former boxer?
NOTE:
Yeah, although I haven't practiced for six years.
NOTE:
Makes sense. Your style is more... let's say...
NOTE:
Fair enough. I was never fond of following all the boxing rules.
NOTE:
Now I'm a free gator!
NOTE:
Looks like you've found your inner fighter balance then. Fun!
NOTE:
You're actually a pretty good wrestler!
NOTE:
Can you do all those moves in real life, too?
NOTE:
Ha! All that and more!
NOTE:
You'd be dazzled if you saw everything I could do. I keep telling Dad to put in a ring for real, but nooo.
NOTE:
With a ring here, I could finally get into a fight for fun instead of self-defense!
NOTE:
See, Dad? Your customers want it too!
NOTE:
I told you, Ivy. For one, we don't have the room for it.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: (Not translated)
And where would I even find a ring? They were all destroyed after the ban.
NOTE:
We could just make our own!
NOTE:
You could treat the customers to some real action, and I could finally wrestle for real too!
NOTE:
And when the customers limp home with injuries, drawing even more attention to us until the Government catches on and shuts us down?
NOTE:
No thanks! 'Sides, the VRs are easier to manage.
NOTE:
Ugh. I thought you were a fun dad, now you're just a dull dad.
NOTE:
Ow! Striking at your old man's heart. Daughters are so mean these days.
NOTE:
(He'll get over it, ha ha!)
NOTE:
You and your father seem to get along well.
NOTE:
Yup! He's always been there for me.
NOTE:
He taught me how to stand up for myself. And how to throw a sick right hook, too!
NOTE:
Honestly, I think I learned just as much by watching him fight in his tournaments. Those were good times.
NOTE:
Sounds like a wild childhood. Bet you had lots of fun!
NOTE:
Other girls my age were intimidated by my "bombastic" nature. Which wasn't fair!
NOTE:
I may love some action, but I still wanted to play with dolls!
NOTE:
Mom kept me company and played with me, which I appreciated, but it wasn't quite the same, y'know?
NOTE:
Well, those girls are missing out. As far as I can tell, you're a future star!
NOTE:
Aww, you're too kind, thank you!
NOTE:
I'll be sure to invite you for VIP seats when I become a top wrestler!
NOTE:
Speaking of, why wrestling?
NOTE:
Tenderjaw doesn't seem to be one as far as I can tell.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
True, he's not. But in the tournaments I watched, there were a few wrestlers.
NOTE:
Compared to the boxers, it's like they were putting on a whole different show.
NOTE:
Their moves were mesmerizing, and the crowd went crazy every time they landed one.
NOTE:
That's when I knew I wanted to be one!
NOTE:
Well, I may not be a wrestler, but I can tell you've got potential.
NOTE:
Keep fighting for it, and I'm sure you'll reach your goal!
NOTE:
Just be sure to take care of yourself. I say this from experience in these sports.
NOTE:
I will. Thanks for your concern, Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Is that... makeup in your hand?
NOTE:
Oh, just some blush.
NOTE:
I can fight, but that doesn't mean I can't look amazing as well. In fact, it's the opposite!
NOTE:
Do you know how important a good look is during battle?
NOTE:
When you've got the public's adoration, the more they cheer for you, and the better you fight.
NOTE:
And don't discount the possibility of distracting your opponents!
NOTE:
(Psst, dad probably wouldn't agree but you know... he's old fashioned)
NOTE:
Besides, after my job I'm going out with my girlfriend. Can't wait!
NOTE:
So, are you and your partner Slumers?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: (Not translated)
Actually... she's a Drumer.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: (Not translated)
I'm super lucky. Drumers rarely come to the Slums-they fear this place.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumers: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
And I can't really blame her. Her dad was killed here.
NOTE:
He was robbed and fought back. Things escalated and...
NOTE:
She came to give him a proper burial, but by the time she got here, he'd already been processed in the Body Recycling Center.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Body Recycling: (Not translated)
Not being able to see your loved ones again, even just to say goodbye... It's awful.
NOTE:
You're not able to grieve.
NOTE:
I found her in the streets. She was so sad... broken.
NOTE:
I had to comfort her. It kinda made me feel bad, honestly, like I was taking advantage of the situation.
NOTE:
But she needed it. In time, we got to know each other. It's been months now.
NOTE:
Actually, she proposed to me just last week! We'd get married, and I'd become a Drumer with her.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: (Not translated)
I had a similar situation.
NOTE:
Did you? How did it turn out?
NOTE:
...she was taken from me before I could find out.
NOTE:
I'm sorry... Grr, I really just don't know.
NOTE:
Should I take the risk that our relationship evolves and we find out we're not actually compatible?
NOTE:
I have a life here. A job. My dream wrestling career.
NOTE:
I love visiting Dad regularly.
NOTE:
Will I even be able to pass the tests to remain in the Drums?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
I was still in the probation period, myself. Had to leave the Drums before passing them.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
Well, guess I'll have to find out for myself.
NOTE:
Right. This kind of big, life changing decision...
NOTE:
Only you can decide that.
NOTE:
Ha... I keep making the worst decisions in my own life, so I'm not exactly the right person to give advice!
NOTE:
Well, thanks for listening to me. I think that alone helped.
NOTE:
No problem! Keep training, you'll become a great wrestler!
NOTE:
Hey!!! Dad doesn't allow fighting in here!
NOTE:
Dad! Your prized fighter is having an aneurysm!
NOTE:
Man! You really showed me that I'm not quite as good as I used to be.
NOTE:
Nah! Any slip up and you would've had me!
NOTE:
I was an experienced boxer hog.
NOTE:
There was this fight pit in the Slums. How was it called...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Yeah, I practiced there for a while, but...
NOTE:
You don't remember our combat, do you?
NOTE:
I participated in a tournament. You did too!
NOTE:
We had a pretty good fight! But the same day, during the tournament...
NOTE:
A while after his defeat, one of the fighters went crazy and murdered his opponent... before killing himself.
NOTE:
Yeah, I heard of that.
NOTE:
Of course you did. You were there!
NOTE:
Well, I'd say it's strange I can't remember, but my memory's been failing me lately.
NOTE:
Ha! It's okay, pal, all those hits in the face had effects for sure!
NOTE:
We tried to calm the situation down, but... nothing worked.
NOTE:
That's what led to the fight pits closing down.
NOTE:
It's kinda strange. Been almost six years, so my memory is a bit fuzzy too, but I remember you looking exactly the same.
NOTE:
Well, except you had boxing gear on instead of this getup.
NOTE:
Anyway, after everything shut down, I decided to focus on helping my family instead of continuing to train.
NOTE:
I've only been coming here for a few weeks. My kid's about to graduate, and I've got more time to myself now.
NOTE:
I get ya. It's been good being able to cut loose and get back in the ring again. Even if it's virtual.
NOTE:
I just wish that fighting here could bring in real money. Then I wouldn't have to be scraping by on handyman jobs...
NOTE:
(Or risking my life in Shay's nightly fights.)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
All of us Slumers end up becoming handymen in one way or another. You really get clients?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: (Not translated)
You'd be surprised!
NOTE:
The real issue is... what they pay me with.
NOTE:
Good thing I love antburgers and energy drinks!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Energy drink: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Antburger: (Not translated)
I believe you! I totally do. Ha ha!
NOTE:
So what do you do with the C-Tokens you earn?
NOTE:
I trade 'em, mostly.
NOTE:
Some guys'll pay Unis for these, believe it or not.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
People that just want to come buy a meal, socialize, and leave the fighting to the rest of us.
NOTE:
Really? Huh, first I've heard of that.
NOTE:
That's how I found out about this place, actually!
NOTE:
It's not much, but it's some pocket change on the side that I can use to help my son.
NOTE:
Ahh, it's not completely selfless. I'll treat myself to a drink sometimes.
NOTE:
And the fights? Feels great to get back to action!
NOTE:
Got a lovely wife and son. We sometimes have disputes, but hey, who doesn't.
NOTE:
She's a great cook, and I convinced her to open up a restaurant!
NOTE:
Nice! The choice is pretty limited around here.
NOTE:
It requires a huge amount of money.
NOTE:
Even in the Slums, we can't exactly take an abandoned property and claim it for ourselves, ya know?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
I've seen folks do exactly that.
NOTE:
That's how you get drones tracking your butt everywhere.
NOTE:
My Nela deserves better than this.
NOTE:
Fortunately, her great uncle has a high-ranking job and helped us with all the administrative stuff.
NOTE:
The restaurant never would have been possible without him.
NOTE:
Oh! Sounds like a nice man!
NOTE:
Yeah, and he shows such love for our son.
NOTE:
Almost too much. He would shower him with gifts if we didn't set limits.
NOTE:
You see, my boy has some... difficulties.
NOTE:
I fear for him. He's too kind for this world.
NOTE:
I'm trying to find a balance between being firm and caring.
NOTE:
This is such a harsh society we live in.
NOTE:
I want him to grow strong and face adversity, no matter what, no matter where.
NOTE:
Now, tell me about yours!
NOTE:
It's... complicated.
NOTE:
I'm taking care of my wife's son.
NOTE:
She passed away during the blackout accident six years ago.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Blackout: (Not translated)
To be fair, we weren't married very long.
NOTE:
I should have moved on, but... I just can't. It was so sudden.
NOTE:
No doubt. With our busy life, it's hard enough to raise a son when there are two of us...
NOTE:
Being a single parent must be incredibly hard.
NOTE:
But I'm doing my best. I want to.
NOTE:
I love him so much.
NOTE:
We're the same, then! Ha ha!
NOTE:
Gotta say, I was still hoping to win our fight.
NOTE:
Truth is, there's a regular here that runs a second-hand store.
NOTE:
Talked to him about trading my C-Tokens to get some clothes for my boy, but he wants a lot.
NOTE:
Ah well! Guess I'll just have to keep at it until I get enough!
NOTE:
Oh my! But you won fair and square. You really shouldn't!
NOTE:
Too late! I've already transferred them.
NOTE:
Ha ha! Alright! Thanks so much, man!
NOTE:
I should be able to trade those in for some fancy new attire.
NOTE:
Can't have my boy roam around the Drums with those outworn sneakers!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
Is your son a Drumer?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: (Not translated)
He might not be inside the dome yet, but he will!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Dome: (Not translated)
Right. I trust my son will too, he's so clever.
NOTE:
He would waste his potential if he remained in the Slums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Same for mine, really!
NOTE:
Sorry. I'm also trying to save up money for my son.
NOTE:
That's admirable! And there is no need for an apology!
NOTE:
Let's fight again someday, shall we?
NOTE:
Not for money. Just for the fun of the duel!
NOTE:
Agh, you! Not you again!
NOTE:
A Squealer...? Here?!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Squealer: (Not translated)
Go away! Gimme some peace.
NOTE:
Argh... whaddya want?
NOTE:
Just curious. Is it just you?
NOTE:
Dis place allows us. S'neutral ground.
NOTE:
Da guys dunno or care.
NOTE:
Here I can... think.
NOTE:
If it clears things up, I had to defend myself. You guys attacked first.
NOTE:
What about dat time in da Drums' sewers?!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
Well... you guys were in my way and wouldn't move...
NOTE:
What, gotta move every time we're told? Can't even have da sewer as our territory?
NOTE:
Ya'd blame us for dat?!
NOTE:
Hey, you attack people. You steal. You even attempted to murder a tramp!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tramp: (Not translated)
Dat cheat didn't pay us!

Are you gonna try to deny you Squealers tried to overthrow the government by force?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Squealers: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Squealer: (Not translated)
You killed innocent people in the process!
NOTE:
Dat was years ago! I wasn't even there!
NOTE:
Okay, ya know what?
NOTE:
Can't fight here. But...!
NOTE:
We can arm wrestle.
NOTE:
Gonna squeeze that dumb smirk offa yare face!
NOTE:
Guess you win, gator. I'm outta here.
NOTE:
Can't keep losing like dat. Gotta get stronger.
NOTE:
I just want to talk.
NOTE:
Man... My arm feels like jelly now...
NOTE:
I admit... mayyybe I went a bit too far the other day.
NOTE:
That... tends to happen when someone gets in my way while on a mission.
NOTE:
Feh! Whatever, man...
NOTE:
Sorry again. Got nothing against you personally.
NOTE:
I get it. The situation of your people is hard. Harder than I can imagine.
NOTE:
But you're not the only ones who struggle out here.
NOTE:
We all can choose between hurting others to get what we need, or finding another way.
NOTE:
If I wasn't there, you would have killed that homeless man.
NOTE:
Chief's orders. He's gonna die anyway. Better get our due from him before he kicks it.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Chief: (Not translated)
You don't know that! With the right medicine, he's cured!
NOTE:
Is a handful of Unis really worth someone's life? Would you do that to anyone you care about?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: (Not translated)
Maybe... maybe ya're right. About somethin', not everythin'.
NOTE:
It's the same thing for me, too.
NOTE:
What? Someone orders you 'round?
NOTE:
No, but I've made some decisions lately that I regret. Things that turned into disasters for Gra...
NOTE:
Y'know, you put up a good fight! Always nice to face a strong opponent!
NOTE:
Heh, yeah! Dat's da first thing ya've said that's true.
NOTE:
See these biceps? I can carry four times my own weight!
NOTE:
Impressive! A real mountain of muscles!
NOTE:
Heh! Ya don't look too bad, ya'self!
NOTE:
I train every day, with anythin' I can get my hands on. Dat way, I can protect my friends.
NOTE:
By the way, those pictures...
NOTE:
Here, in da V.R. cabin... it's possible.
NOTE:
Pits're closed, bots always on our tails, everybody lookin' at me like I did somethin'...
NOTE:
It's da only way it can be real for me.
NOTE:
I see. That's a nice goal to have.
NOTE:
Maybe one day, you'll be a true wrestler and show yourself to the world!
NOTE:
Well, to Atlasia at least.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
Heh... Thanks, croc.

Aren't all the fights here virtual? How did you get that injury?
NOTE:
New to the Slums?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Then you should know by now. Got robbed, tried to defend myself.
NOTE:
I have to get stronger.
NOTE:
Planning some strategies?
NOTE:
You're writing them in your notepad.
NOTE:
Not even polite enough to not imply you were snooping. You're a gator alright.
NOTE:
Hey...! I'm not just any gator, I'm an investigator! Snooping is part of my job.
NOTE:
I almost confused you with another roo I know!
NOTE:
Yeah? How'd you tell the difference?
NOTE:
Let's say you're much less...
NOTE:
I'll call him "Sinister".
NOTE:
Ouch! Hey, if you want a duel so badly, ask the owner!
NOTE:
Ooof... You aren't gonna force me to leave, stupid gator...
NOTE:
Thanks for introducing me to this place.
NOTE:
Yeah! It's pretty cool, I love their ladybug pie.
NOTE:
I mean, I can finally breathe easily.
NOTE:
Right... With everything's that happening, being underground is a blessing.
NOTE:
We better not tell the others! Can't risk getting too crowded in here.
NOTE:
I'm still worried. What if the shortage goes on?
NOTE:
Let's not think about that for now...
NOTE:
That guy is looking at me.
NOTE:
Oh, he totally is. He's so cute.
NOTE:
I'm not programmed to move!
NOTE:
Very funny, Tri-bunny-ot.
NOTE:
I shouldn't bother them.
NOTE:
What's wrong with you?!
NOTE:
Mister Tenderjaw! Please!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
Supercroc, I am thoroughly disappointed in you.
NOTE:
Hey! What's good today?
NOTE:
Nice! Can I have one?
NOTE:
(Getting hungry... Need to stop looking...)
NOTE:
Okay, okay! If you want one so badly, take this!
NOTE:
Why does this happen to me everytime I get a good meal?!
NOTE:
You look like a novice!
NOTE:
You wouldn't say that if...
NOTE:
Whatever! Don't get too confident!
NOTE:
Are you sure you're making use of all your moves?
NOTE:
If you want a chance at winning those challenges, you better listen!
NOTE:
Let's refresh your memory on what you can do!
NOTE:
First, take your time to check the commands in the menu.
NOTE:
Talk to me again when you're done.
NOTE:
If you're using a keyboard and don't like the default keys, I wouldn't blame ya!
NOTE:
Thankfully, you can change those in the options menu.
NOTE:
Now, go practice in this V.R. training challenge!
NOTE:
Don't forget to check the Tutorials in the Player menu. They have valuable info.
NOTE:
Thanks for the advice!
NOTE:
Wanna do V.R. training again?
NOTE:
Ooof!!! Nice, my training is paying off!
NOTE:
Greetings, child. Might you be seeking a reprieve from your burdens?
NOTE:
You seem weary, my dear.
NOTE:
I can sense the agony, your memories gnawing at your very soul.
NOTE:
Thus, you must cast them away.
NOTE:
What is this, an Oblivion pill?
NOTE:
A perceptive question, indeed.
NOTE:
I possess the means to erase all your sorrows since you first set foot in this humble tavern.
NOTE:
In doing so, you shall embark upon a new beginning.
NOTE:
What is this, a scam?
NOTE:
Oh, no. This comes at no cost to you.
NOTE:
I am a humble servant of the Untail Salvation Army.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Untail: (Not translated)
My sole mission is to spread joy and peace.
NOTE:
Come to see me again, child, when you are ready to forget.
NOTE:
Will you accept this pill to lift the heavy burden from your heart, dear one?
NOTE:
You mean, erase all my struggles and challenges progress?
NOTE:
Precisely so, child.
NOTE:
Ah, you are finally ready.
NOTE:
Then why have you come to me, child?
NOTE:
Why...! I offer this pill freely!
NOTE:
Why not! You said I would forget everything.
NOTE:
You won't escape judgment for this!
NOTE:
Who cares! You're nobody.
NOTE:
Don't mind me. Just need to focus.
NOTE:
Feeling impatient to fight, huh?
NOTE:
I made a pretty big bet with a coworker, and now...
NOTE:
Of course, they had to give me the worst challenge.
NOTE:
A nightmare of buffed enemies, spikes, and lasers.
NOTE:
Don’t overthink it. Just go!
NOTE:
Right... but how does that help you win?
NOTE:
It helps moving forward!
NOTE:
Now I've got a bruise and the challenge hasn't even started!
NOTE:
Argh...okay okay, I'll go!
NOTE:
Hello. Is something wrong?
NOTE:
Please, just go away.
NOTE:
Oh, come on. I'm a great listener!
NOTE:
No, you're not. What did I just tell you?
NOTE:
"Please listen to me?"
NOTE:
The curiosity is killing me, but...
NOTE:
Some people just need space. Better leave her alone.
NOTE:
I wish I was invisible...
NOTE:
Why are all men despicable?!
NOTE:
Did you say something?
NOTE:
Move. This is my spot. Ya're not welcome here.
NOTE:
Oh yeah? You don’t get to decide that.
NOTE:
My fists delimit my close proximity area.
NOTE:
You may have won last time, but you're still the enemy.
NOTE:
Now that you mention it...
NOTE:
You're that low-level thug!
NOTE:
No funny names! I'm an independant businessman.
NOTE:
Right, and I'm a princess.
NOTE:
Oh, I get it now. Your "business" must be a front for laundering cash!
NOTE:
Can't do laundry with a non-existant currency.
NOTE:
But I'm burning, right?
NOTE:
Buzz off. No business with the likes of ya.
NOTE:
Then you're a poor business man.
NOTE:
No time to waste on small-time criminals.
NOTE:
No time to waste with spare tires.
NOTE:
Come on, let’s fight! Or are you scared?
NOTE:
Graff?! What are you...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: (Not translated)
Oh!... Oops, sorry. Confused you with someone else.
NOTE:
So, what are you doing here?
NOTE:
Not here for a fight, then.
NOTE:
No. My friend's Tyson's into it, though.
NOTE:
He's the one who introduced me to this place. Maybe you know him?
NOTE:
Can't say that I do. But I'll keep an eye open for a grey wolf!
NOTE:
Wait... I didn’t mention how he looks?
NOTE:
Err...that's right...weird!
NOTE:
I have memory loss.
NOTE:
Say... I'm curious.
NOTE:
Is Tenderjaw your dad?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: (Not translated)
Sorry. No, the bartender isn't my dad.
NOTE:
I'm a striped hyena. He's spotted.
NOTE:
So your dad's a striped hyena?
NOTE:
Actually...no. He's a spotted hyena.
NOTE:
I'm surprised to see so many people here today.
NOTE:
It took me a while to figure out the password.
NOTE:
Huh? What password?
NOTE:
I just said anything, and it worked.
NOTE:
Don't! If you kill me, everyone here might die!
NOTE:
The name's Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: (Not translated)
Yeah? Well, I remember ya!
NOTE:
Did a bed delivery and da thing wouldn't fit through the stairs.
NOTE:
That was you?! I almost got crushed when you threw it!
NOTE:
Hey, don't blame me if your home sucks!
NOTE:
At least I'm not wearing mine on my back!
NOTE:
Ha! He got ya there!
NOTE:
I'm pleased to meet another boxer here like you. Feels nostalgic!
NOTE:
Uhh, nothing, just saying. Since I used to be one.
NOTE:
Yes, I could tell. Which is why I'll make sure I won't lose next time.
NOTE:
Hey now, no need to take it seriously.
NOTE:
It was a four against two and yet I lost, I can't let that slide.
NOTE:
I'll have to train harder and improve my skills enough so no other boxer can beat me so easily.
NOTE:
Well... I admire the dedication at least so I wish you luck. I don't mind getting more duels!
NOTE:
Hmm? What's that in your pocket?
NOTE:
My music player, it helps with my training routine.
NOTE:
Just my current regular track to listen to.
NOTE:
Cool, maybe I'll give it a listen!

NOTE:
Hmm... Nice nails...!
NOTE:
I mean, I've felt them... under my skin...
NOTE:
So, is it true you're from a distant country?
NOTE:
Nah. Prisoner exiled.
NOTE:
Outside of Atlasia, I mutated.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: (Not translated)
Month after month, my nails grew.
NOTE:
Did not want to cut them. Turned into deathly claws.
NOTE:
Last month, mommy finally came and freed me! Mommy is the best!
NOTE:
Yeah. Mommy is big and strong.
NOTE:
Someday I'll be stronger than mommy, too!
NOTE:
Not sure I want to meet her then...
NOTE:
I'm so thirsty. Can you guys call one of those server buffoons?
NOTE:
(Extends arm to grab a drink)
NOTE:
What can I say? I'm a natural.
NOTE:
There's nothing natural about that metal piece of trash.
NOTE:
Feh, you're just jealous.
NOTE:
Not only does it attracts the chicks, it makes me the toughest guy around here.
NOTE:
Pfft, yeah, so tough you lost the fight.
NOTE:
Ha! He got you there.
NOTE:
Hmph! So what if I lost that stupid fight?
NOTE:
With my threads and feathers, I won the looks battle.
NOTE:
Yeah yeah, keep crowing. I've heard it all before from other losers.
NOTE:
You only won because everyone else distracted me!
NOTE:
Face me one-on-one, and I'll punch that broken muzzle of yours so they have to replace the entire thing with metal!
NOTE:
Now you're just projecting.
NOTE:
You're jealous that I've got these real biceps, and you're stuck with that steel accordion for an arm.
NOTE:
Oh, I'll play some music for ya, stupid croc!
NOTE:
Fight! Fight! Fight!
NOTE:
Shuddup, Matt!

What, too chicken to back up all your talk?

NOTE:
Haha, yeah. That was fun to watch.
NOTE:
We'll finish this somewhere else. Soon.

(Punks like this always back down. Just gotta stand your ground)
NOTE:
Man! We've crowned you, what more do you want?!

Ya're gonna get it...

No way. The rules, guys.

NOTE:
I don't need help right now, thanks anyway!
NOTE:
Bad croc! You just triggered our Anti-Scuffle system.
NOTE:
We set it up to prevent fights in the bar. It's for the good of everyone.
NOTE:
I got inspired by a similar thing I saw in the Drums, back when I lived there.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
It disorients you enough so that you can't actually land any hits.
NOTE:
Amazing what we can do using decrepit dome hardware salvaged from landfills, don't ya think?

I'll forgive you for saying that if you behave yourself.
NOTE:
I'm disappointed in you, Mister Gator...

Yes. Every place needs a striking symbol. This took me a month to design.

Tell me, how does it make you feel?
NOTE:
A devil bean with two malformed eyes?
NOTE:
Don't look with your eyes. Look with your head.
NOTE:
It... hurts to look at...?
NOTE:
I'm sure. Tsk. The beauty of abstraction is wasted on the ignorant.

Still a devil bean to me!

Smells like fruit...

Hey, I don't usually spend that much time in bars!

Just the usual stuff you'd expect to find in a bar.
NOTE:
You can't just name a door "secret" and not expect me to be curious about it!

This is killing me!

If only I could hit it. Dang perspective!
NOTE:
No way... It opened?!

(This dynamically generated picture contains clues to events in the sequel)

Okay, okay! Enough!

Hope I didn't make you wait too long!

It's okay! I didn't even notice you were gone!

Anyway, look what I've found!

(Sigh) Use the spinning wheel next to me to unlock some.

Just won some B-grade competitions back in the old days.

He's a friend from the old days.

The night the bar opened, he showed up with an armful of these.
NOTE:
Told me to take 'em off his hands, that they'd give the bar "legitimacy."
NOTE:
