MEET
Hello. I'm Carl, the landlord.
Airel Johnson, retired general. Here to boost the patriotic spirit of our youth.
How long will you be staying?
I'll give several speeches and lectures, and will then move on to, you know, educating the rest of the masses.
My main task is to inspire loyalty to our Great State and the ideas of our Dear Leader.
Your arrival is a great honor for me.
My final speech is to be given to the school kids at the stadium. Feel free to come with your children!
We have a new draft program: "From school to battlefield." It's an accelerated program for turning boys into men.
TALK ABOUT THE WAR
Will we win the war, in your opinion?
By all means!
I gave a speech to the patriotic camp alumni. You should've seen their reaction! It was glorious!
All in great shape, eyes full of fire, ready to fight like, you know, young dogs!
A little bit of training, and we'll have a squad of bona fide slayers... I mean soldiers! Soldiers...
TALK ABOUT THE COUNTRY
What do you think, comrade Johnson? What future awaits us?
Awesome, Carl!
We're at the breaking point of the war; food will start arriving soon!
For now, there's not enough food for everyone. But those who serve our state honestly get to eat.
I have nothing to add!
TRY TO GIVE POISON
Are you alright?
Yes? What's up?

LIE ABOUT GAS LEAK AND GIVE ANTIDOTE
There was a gas leak at the chemical plant! I was told to hand out antidotes that should be consumed immediately.
How come I haven't heard anything about that?

This is classified. I received an antidote for you and me. My family hasn't even received a dose yet!

That's right! Save the most important citizens first. Give it here. I need to drink it immediately!
Are you drunk, or have you watched too much TV? That's a lousy joke, Carl.
LIE ABOUT DIGESTIVE
I was asked to give you this novelty digestive!
Let me see it!
It smells funny. I'm not going to drink it. You take a sip.
TRY TO GIVE ARSENIC
Are you alright?
Yes? What's up?

Let me see it!
Why does it smell like a donut? Drugs and antidotes taste bitter!
Return that fake crap and get the real stuff! I bet there's no leak; they're just making people drink stuff to boost their immune systems.
But I don't need it; I'm as healthy as a horse! I'll outlive all of you!

Let me see it!
It smells great. But I just ate. And I've never seen this stuff before…

Do you really think that I, a state official, would try to poison you?

That was the right thing to do! The most important citizens should be saved first. Give it here; I need to drink it immediately.
Who knows, comrade Carl? Life taught me to not trust anyone, especially clerks.
GIVE THE GIFT
Airel, someone sent a gift for you through me. I was asked to deliver it personally.
Who did?
Responses
Some strange guy...
The draftees.
Freshly drafted youth come to stand by the building in which their idol lives.
I didn't let them in so you wouldn't be disturbed.
Oh, well. Our youth are, you know, our base. I don't want to offend them by saying no.
Hand it over!
Some lady.
I think she's a fan. She was too shy to bring it in herself, so she asked me to do it.
Sweet! Hand it over!
LURE OUT OF THE APARTMENT
Airel, your champagne is here. But there are several kinds, and I'm not an expert.
Could you come out here and decide which bottles you want?
That's easy to solve, Carl: bring in all of it!
Unfortunately, that's not possible. Some of this champagne is meant for the Minister.
Who cares? Bring it in! I'll have no trouble choosing one.

Airel! I don't have time to deal with your champagne! Can't a war veteran like yourself make it to the corner of the building?
Reputation-1,000
OK, OK, Carl! You're right. Sometimes, it's good to show the people I'm still full of energy.
Take care of it, Carl! I'm not 15, and I'm not a courier!
If you don't have the time to fulfill my requests, I'll report it to the Ministry.
BRIBE (-$1,500)
By the way, it was delivered by a very pretty, though rather shy, young lady. She's a big fan of yours!
I promised to help her meet you. Here's money for flowers, in case you're interested.
You should've said so! I like young ones...
Money-1,500
Take care of it, Carl! I'm not 15, and I'm not a courier!
TALK ABOUT THE BILLS (MINISTRY)
I keep getting huge bills with your name on them…
So pay them, Carl. You're responsible for my subsistence.
By the way, do you know where I could get pineapples?
TELL ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
Terrible news, Airel! They want to kill you!
Oh, Carl, if only I received a pound of foie gras every time an enemy tries to kill me…
I'd have built a foie gras palace long ago, on Foie Gras Island.
Who was it this time?
Local revolutionaries! I'll report this to the Ministry!
Hold on, Carl. You did well by coming to me about this.
I prefer to deal with those rebellious rats on my own!
Do you know where they planned it?
They wanted me to lure you out of the house and send you to the corner.
Excellent, Carl. Warned is armed.
Thanks for your diligence and, you know, loyalty to the state!
OK... Let's see who had the guts to test his luck with the Aglow Butcher. Ha ha ha!
