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: Gecekondular
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: Shay
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: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
But I can convert those C-Thingies into Unis, right?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
Can't convert back or forth. And you can't spend Unis, either.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Unis: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
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: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
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: Shay
Shay! Yes, I remember her. Slums competition! Nasty, nasty!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: Shay
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: Puzzles
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: Puzzles
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: Tenderjaw
Isn't that Sharpteeth the Thief?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sharpteeth: Sharpteeth
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: Puzzles
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: Bubbles
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: Gecekondular
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...

📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: Ivy
Besides, my girl also loves that "Fresh Stix Island" flavor and...
NOTE:
Ivy!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Ivy: Ivy
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: Bubbles
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: Toxout
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: Puzzles
(Been a while. I should ask Puzzles how he's doing...)
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: Puzzles
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: Toxout hapı
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout: Toxout
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: Puzzles
Thank you sir! But (cough) you keep them! (cough, cough)
NOTE:
Hey, Puzzles is sick!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: Puzzles
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: Toxout hapı
📖 Lexicon word for Puzzles: Puzzles
📖 Lexicon word for Toxout: Toxout
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: Bubbles
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: Atlasya
Sadly. But what if...
NOTE:
What about you, Brok?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
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: Kubbe
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: Gecekondular
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: Clint
I used to be a boxer years ago.
NOTE:
Brok. And really? I used to be a boxer too.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
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: Brok
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: Brok
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: Brok
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: Ivy
Just a bit. My part-time job starts in an hour.
NOTE:
Hey, Brok!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
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: Sharpteeth
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: Brok
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: Atlasya
Like all foreigners, I was offered to leave Atlasia or remain forever.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: Atlasya
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: Atlasya
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: Atlasya
So, I retired to make a new life for myself...and remained secretly in the Slums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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: Atlasya
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: Tribot
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: Tribot
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: Brok
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: Puzzles
Did you think we'd use our real names, Brok?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
I have my little secrets!
NOTE:
Anyway, I'm Tenderjaw. Hope you like this joint of ours.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: Tenderjaw
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: TP
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: Gecekondular
There's Boyd, the macho rooster with a mechanical arm. 33 years old.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Boyd: Boyd
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: Matt
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: Gecekondular
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: Rok
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: Sly
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: Sly
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: Clint
Just a Slums citizen trying his best to earn money for his family.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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: Sharpteeth
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: Kubbeliler
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
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: Kubbekonutlar
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: Kubbekonutlar
Surveillance in the Slums is more limited, so my goal was to establish a new pit out here.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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: Gecekondular
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: Puzzles
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: Puzzles
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: Graff
I assume you're the second-in-command of this ship.
NOTE:
Are you? Isn't Tenderjaw the owner?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tenderjaw: Tenderjaw
I like to let him think that.
NOTE:
We were neighbors in the Drums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: Kubbekonutlar
I left the Drums a little after 'Jaw did, but not for the same reason.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: Kubbekonutlar
When I finally settled in the Slums, there he was, my neighbor again. Happy happenstance.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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: Enerji içeceği
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: Bubbles
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: Enerji içeceği
(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: Bubbles
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: Gecekondular
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: Ivy
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: Tenderjaw
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: Brok
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: Gecekonducular
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
Actually... she's a Drumer.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
I'm super lucky. Drumers rarely come to the Slums-they fear this place.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumers: Kubbeliler
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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: Kubbeli
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: Kubbekonutlar
I was still in the probation period, myself. Had to leave the Drums before passing them.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: Kubbekonutlar
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: Gecekondular
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: Shay
All of us Slumers end up becoming handymen in one way or another. You really get clients?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: Gecekonducular
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
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: Enerji içeceği
📖 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: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
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: Gecekondular
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: Kubbekonutlar
Is your son a Drumer?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
He might not be inside the dome yet, but he will!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for The Dome: Kubbe
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: Gecekondular
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: Squealer
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: Kubbekonutlar
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: Tramp
Dat cheat didn't pay us!

Are you gonna try to deny you Squealers tried to overthrow the government by force?

📖 Lexicon word for Squealers: Squealer'lar
📖 Lexicon word for Squealer: Squealer
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: Reis
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: Uni
📖 Lexicon word for Uni: Uni
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: Atlasya
Heh... Thanks, croc.
NOTE:
Wanna arm wrestle again?

Aren't all the fights here virtual? How did you get that injury?
NOTE:
New to the Slums?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: Gecekondular
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!

Very funny, Tri-bunny-ot.

I shouldn't bother them.

Mister Tenderjaw! Please!

Supercroc, I am thoroughly disappointed in you.

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.

I am a humble servant of the Untail Salvation Army.

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: Graff
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: Tenderjaw
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: Brok
Yeah? Well, I remember ya!
NOTE:
Did a bed delivery and da thing wouldn't fit through the stairs.

That was you?! I almost got crushed when you threw it!

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.

Cool, maybe I'll give it a listen!

Hmm... Nice nails...!

So, is it true you're from a distant country?

Nah. Prisoner exiled.
NOTE:
Outside of Atlasia, I mutated.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Atlasia: Atlasya
Month after month, my nails grew.

Did not want to cut them. Turned into deathly claws.

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.

Oh, I'll play some music for ya, stupid croc!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Shuddup, Matt!

Haha, yeah. That was fun to watch.

Bad croc! You just triggered our Anti-Scuffle system.

I got inspired by a similar thing I saw in the Drums, back when I lived there.

It disorients you enough so that you can't actually land any hits.

A devil bean with two malformed eyes?

Don't look with your eyes. Look with your head.

It... hurts to look at...?

I'm sure. Tsk. The beauty of abstraction is wasted on the ignorant.

Always had to one-up me. Ha!

Oh...! Of course, one of these is yours: the 'longest bubbling' record!
