Eli O'Lowry
A hardworking man and a caring soul, what more could you ask for? He’s always been there for me during any hardships I’ve had and has never failed to be a companion others could only dream to have in their life. I constantly see himself putting his wellbeing at risk for others and it inspires me to do the same. I hope, very much so, that nothing bad happens to this man while he cares for others. It would be a loss not just to me but to everyone around him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Either you've died alongside all of your friends- or you've abandoned us. I can't tell which one would hurt me more. I just know that...I miss you dearly and I hope you're doing okay. Please come back soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've come back. I know I should be happy, elated, relieved, and- I am. But at the same time I feel- betrayed. I need some time alone with my thoughts before I consider bringing you back into this new life I've made for myself. I'm sorry.
But at least I had the decency to let you know.
Celette Sardoux ✞
I met her early into working for The Pint. She may barely speak any English, but deep down I know she is a selfless soul; and someone who can clearly make the world a better place just by being in it. She has a tendency to show me the amount of plushies she collects, and I adore her for it everytime she does so. I started taking lessons in French and I hope one day she and I may communicate fully and freely to truly bond our spirits together in friendship. I wish her all the best in life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My wish came true. I was able to learn French alongside her learning English. The two of us now talk like we should have, and I'm very grateful that we can; and blessed for each day she comes by to say bonjour. Stay safe, Celette. Always.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm used to the moments we had to stay apart. I understood they needed to last days- but I've not heard from you. No one has heard from you.
If you're truly gone, then- that's it. You'll have been the last of my first friends, the ones I made early onto my arrival here in City 24. The ones who shaped me into the woman I am. You made an incalculable number of sacrifices for me, and you always kept true to your promises. I will never again in my life have a friend with whom I've bonded with so closely. I will miss you forever, Nilee. This will pain me for a very long time.
Charlie ✞
Oh, Charlie. You were there for one of my earliest work shifts I’d ever partaken in. You motivated me the entire time and praised me for my work. You were such a selfless man, so much so that you ran out into the street just to give me a coat when you saw it was snowing and I didn’t have one. Your kindness gave me hope for a better world. I’m so devastated you’re not around anymore to make my days brighter at The Pint. You deserved a much longer and happier life.
May you fly amongst many birds, wherever you are now.
Yasuno Kiriko ✞
Ms Kiriko, as I like to address her as. She hired me on as a worker at The Pint days upon my arrival and since then my life has drastically improved. I feel useful, wanted, important- things I had never felt before. I owe her more than she could ever know for giving me, practically no one, a chance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I received awful news that you're gone. Gone to where, I don't know- but The Pint is very much different without you here. They gave me ownership of the place in your stead, and if the time comes you should return to us again, I hope I'll have made you proud. Until we meet again, Ms. Kiriko.
Vanessa Lee
She allowed me to stay in the warehouse during Charlie’s accident. I owe her very much for that. I’ve come to admire her bubbly personality and her creative drawings. One hangs above the fireplace at The Pint, and I have the pleasure of seeing it nearly every day.
Zan Kang ✞
Another lost soul I had met early into his arrival in City 24. I showed him and pointed out where he should go to get food, make the workshifts, etc. He seemed very grateful for it, and now he’s a regular who shows up at The Pint nearly every day. It’s always a pleasure to speak to him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You came in and had a heart to heart with me about an individual we both mutually dislike- though it seems they've fucked you over a lot more than they have I. Still, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and you've been a great one. Your generosity, your ability to bounce back, your work ethic- they've all been impressing me a lot. I hope to have you around more.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may be gone, but I hope that somewhere in the afterlife you take solace in knowing that he is gone as well. I was blessed to have met you, and equally blessed to have been able to call you friend. I'll miss you dearly.
Troy Knox
Very witty and very funny guy! Most people think he’s too chatty, but I find it very endearing. He’s been fitting in perfectly around The Pint so far- and whenever he’s around I feel significantly less stressed. I hope he sticks around for the long haul, though I’ll support him no matter what path he takes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two of us have gotten a lot closer as time as gone by. I know you have other ambitions and dreams which will eventually split us apart, but I hope you always know that the time we've spent together has changed me forever and for the better. Keep being yourself and never let anything stop you from being who you are.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a day goes by I don't miss your presence at work. You always had a way of keeping me grounded, down to Earth- and I really miss it. So very, very much. I hope your new life is treating you well and that one day I might be able to talk to you again- face to face, person to person, like we used to. Goodbye, Troy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so happy I got to see you again.
Var Ras
You are, without a doubt, one of the best things to ever happen to both myself and The Pint. Your journey from janitor to chef has been incredible to watch, and it's fascinating to see just how invested you're getting into your work. You are so very endearing, inspiring, and downright hilarious. Please stick around forever.
GREETINGS!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head Chef, polyglot, blacksmith, and now Assembly Member? The progress you've made is glass shattering, and the progress we made together is just as incredible. Together, we're going to ensure Biotics don't suffer anymore- mark my words.
Elizabeth Taylor
What a wonderful human being you are. Humble, caring, selfless- the virtues go on and on. The time you spend around The Pint makes it an infinitely better place with just your presence alone. I've had the pleasure of seeing you transform from a shy, reserved girl into an independent woman looking to prove herself in the world. I hope you're able to grab your passion, find your purpose and ultimately- gain your true happiness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your presence has been missed terribly. I hope you'll come back, very very soon. I miss the old days- before life got so overwhelmingly busy.
Ruben Richards
You've made quite the impression on me so far, Mr. Richards. You've shown some early dedication towards The Pint that, I hope, lasts for a long time to come. And to top it all off? You voluntarily put yourself at risk to dispose of a bomb that threatened not only your life, but the lives of countless others around you- and for that, you've earned my respect and my admiration. Keep doing what you're doing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, right as I'm to suspend you for breaking DOB regulations, that's just around the same time you decided you want to quit- I had such high hopes for you, and you've flushed them all.
DEFENDER-1
Leave Elizabeth alone before I make your life a miserable fucking wreck, you disgusting, backwater excuse of a being.
I wish some insurgent would put a bullet in your head and rid the world of you already, it would make it an infinitely better place to live in.
UNION-3
I- can't even begin to put thoughts to words. You've been one of the most incredible human beings I've had the pleasure to be around. What started as a simple coffee order has evolved into so much more.
There's so many words I could use to describe you- charming, gregarious, captivating: all of those are lost over the one word I wish for you to be: mine.
Yet it seems the world does not wish alongside me, so apart we will remain... for now.
Bill Newton ✞
Much like Eli, you were always around the Pint and always had good words and advice to offer me. You always had time to listen, you treated me like an equal, you cared about my problems- you were an important person in my life.
Which is why your death absolutely devastated me. I was given the very unfortunate news of your passing from your friend, Andre. It's torn a hole in my heart. The last time I had seen you, we had gotten in an argument. You were trying to give me genuinely good advice, but- the stress of it all... my work, the burden I'd been feeling- I unfairly took it out on you. And that was the last time I'd ever get to see you. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for that.
Today, I'll be spending some time alone by a fire, with a single piece of paper that has your name on it. I'm very much happy I can send you off the way you would've wanted, but still torn up that I'll never get to give you a proper goodbye in person. Rest easy, friend. I'll miss you dearly.
Odis Mann
You may have been a friend of Bill's, but you're no friend of mine. You've been nothing but a miserable, pessimistic mooch since the day we met. You call me a bitch when I don't take you complaining about every tiny little thing, and it annoys me to no end. Firing you may have been the smartest thing I've done since managing The Pint. But, still- you lost Bill the same as I, and you had known him longer and kept him closer. I can't help but feel sorry for you.
Dazel Joung
I'm very blessed with the opportunity you've provided me, and you've let it be very well known how great a use I've been making of it. I hope things continue on the upward from here on out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I was a fan of you- until you decided on your exiting day's you were going to "progressively" tax everybody to fund some stupid personal project of yours. Seemed to be your shady way of saying you'd like to take a large chunk of the money I'd worked so hard to get- thank god it never went through. Goodbye.
Aria Morris ✞
Aria! You've been making a name for yourself next door. It's great to see you each time you come to visit. I hope you make associate soon and start getting yourself out there, you definitely deserve it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it seems you were unfortunately let go. A part of me deep down wants to bring you on board here, but that's probably going to hit you too close to home; being that close to the place you were fired from.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenkins is gone, V4 is overhauled- and it seems you've had a much happier time of things knowing that. It's been a pleasure to hire you on, and I hope the passion you put forward working for The Pint matches your rowdy, lovable spirit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That heart to heart we had, after Eli came back? It meant so very much to me, I'm beyond happy you trusted me enough to open up...but-
I'm so sorry. I've done everything I can to keep you safe, but I can't bear to tell you the things I had to do to make sure that happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were so unabashedly yourself, and not willing to take anyone's shit- no matter who they might've been. I had you pegged as my number two to take over the Pint when I left. I felt you'd earned it more than anyone else on the planet ever could've. Yet, you left us all the same.
What's the point of continuing? The stabbing hurt I feel never goes away. I can't even bear to put to words what it was I was told that ended your life. Why didn't you come to me? Why couldn't I have done more? This just isn't fair. I'm sick of all the loss, all my friends- disappearing, never to come back.
I spend nearly every aching hour praying that what happened was a lie, and that you'll walk up those stairs from Triumph into Victory and greet me with another story about your experiences here. I miss you very much, Aria.
Raymond Saint Albert
One of the most creative individuals the CWU has the luxury of having aboard their team; not to mention both reliable and hard working. He has a peculiarity towards acting like he is some rich-eccentric-snob type every now and again, which is always fun to witness.
Sadly, however, he's seemed broken up as of late over the firing of his former boss, someone he clearly held very dear to him. I don't know if the CWU is in his future much longer- but I did let him know that he'd be welcome at The Pint if he wished for a change of scenery.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You finally earned your deserved promotion. Make the most of it, Raymond, and show everyone who doubted you just how much of a leader you are.
Miles Endinberg
Ah, Miles! You're a great guy. You've come around and fixed up The Pint more than once. You did so gladly and without hesitation, I really do owe you for those. The free beers as payment don't nearly feel like I'm giving back enough to you. Every time you come around you've always got something interesting to talk about. I hope one of these times I catch a work shift you're hosting so I can see what you look like in action instead!
Ethan Miles
Ethan. You were an amazing person. Such charm, humor, talent- all together in one place to make the wonderful human being you were. The art within your book brought such joy to me, and your sketches brought such life to a place often void of any. I and many of your close friends were hurt deeply when we learned of your unfortunate passing- I can only hope someone out there's made a drawing of you, lest we ever forget.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The absolute relief I felt knowing that you were alive again- my god. You scared the life out of me casually walking up to the counter like nothing had happened, I genuinely thought I'd seen a ghost! I've lost many friends along my way, and I'm glad I no longer have to count you among them. That drink myself, you and your friends shared will be etched into my brain forever- call it my own type of drawing.
Michael Hoxworth
Mr. Hoxworth has been a friendly and reliable person for me- not afraid to speak his mind and tell you what you need to hear. It's been a breath of fresh air amongst the constant deceptive niceties I'm often given from others who simply want something from me.
Ethan's disappearance and, thankfully, his return have brought us closer. I hope you've given him that journal back, and I hope it's in the exact same condition you found it in or I might just have to smack you. In a friendly way. Promise.
The only thing I ask is- when you're chewing out one of your co-workers? Please take it outside The Pint, if you wouldn't mind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoxworth has lost limb after limb serving this city, one of the times I was there to witness personally.
The CMU's response was absolutely abysmal, and they need their heads knocked together or risk losing their jobs entirely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've turned into quite an insufferable person in the coming months. You used to be someone I could confide in, and now you're just another useless drone amongst the masses- believing himself to be superior to everyone around him. You really had the audacity to lose your mind over fifteen credits after I've donated THOUSANDS to your Workers Union? You disgust me, what you've become. Ethan would be so disappointed.
Wilburt O'Hair
What an incredible man he is. Such gentlemanly disposition, always a pleasure to talk to, always willing to lend me a helping hand. The work he's put into making O'Hair's the mega-business it is today inspires me to take The Pint to even greater heights. And if I'm being entirely frank here- that moustache suits him so incredibly well.
I was devastated when I had heard he had lung cancer, but equally as relieved when I heard he had an operation to replace his lungs and cure himself of the cancer. I hope Mr. O'Hair stays around for a very, very long time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. O'Hair's found himself the position of Director, and I serve alongside him as Vice Director.
Together, I hope we can make the DOB an operational titan like it's always meant to be. To Business!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I miss you very much- my neighbor, my friend, my mentor. Come back to us.
Alex Smith
Mr. Smith finds himself loitering around The Pint often. He's a bit strange, and tends to pass out a lot of the time for what seems like no apparent reason- but he's mainly a harmless, curious guy who's fun to be around.
Scarlett Electra ✞
I don't quite know what to think of you. You speak very eloquently and have such an incredible demeanor, which I respect. However, your attitude can be a bit- frustrating. We had a very serious conversation about power and how it's interpreted, and I couldn't help but feel you tried to belittle me on each turn to prove how 'smarter' you were rather than have a genuine conversation. It was very insightful, but still- I can't help but feel you hide behind a mask.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I told you that perception was power and you refused to believe me. Others perceived you as a dangerous threat- and now you're dead for it.
Pride goeth before the fall.
Tony Jenkins ✞
My next door neighbor, the manager of Victory-4. It seems he's been going through a lot of issues over the past month or so, and I can't help but feel sorrowful for him. I really hope he manages to pull himself together and save his store, he needs to prove it to himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems Mr. Jenkins is really starting to pull himself together. His store's been on the up and up, and although he's seemed scatter brained- I can't help but feel it's for the right reasons. That he's fully investing himself in his store. The results are definitely showing and it looks to be nothing but up for him from here on out. I also can't help but feel like he's...getting a bit flirty? But- I could be looking too much into it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the fuck is wrong with you? Drugging your former employee? Trying to pass legislation that bars Vortigaunts from service jobs? You do realize that hurts the Pint immensely, right? You're not the Tony I remember- what's happening to you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally got the confirmation- you're dead. I only wish you found your own means of redemption before you died, since I unfortunately will never know if you ever did.
Elias Siemens
One of the hardest workers I have ever met. This man took a small library in Triumph and transformed it into a multi-faceted business within Victory. I had the full confidence, with every single investment I made into you, that I and this city would get it's return tenfold- and every time, I was right.
If you continue on the path you are then one day, when I join the ranks of my predecessors and become a distant memory, you will continue to lead my department into a greater, brighter future.
Keiichi Ishikawa
The Manager of Victory-1. He visits the Pint every once in a blue moon, but recently came to me asking for advice on how to overhaul his store. I helped however I could, and I hope it all works out for him in the end- Deliveries needs it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Sorry for losing it on you. That was so unlike me. Hope the apple pie helped make amends. I'm deeply embarrassed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were my first choice as Vice when I finally got promoted. Now you and Elias share the burden together. I don't appreciate the lack of loyalty I'm hearing of when it comes to you being my subordinate, but I appreciate the work you put in all the same. We'll see how it goes from here.
John Walker
You've been thrust into a position most consider absolutely untenable- management over Victory-4. Yet here, finally, I find a man willing to make the most of it.
Continue your hard work. Make me, and everyone around you, proud. I know you can.
Tar'Galla
I'm so torn. On one hand, I felt such remorse for what you were going through when Xen Cuisine closed. You were the first vortigaunt I'd ever seen openly break into true, sorrowful tears over the closing of that store and I felt I could relate more than anyone in the world on how that would feel.
But at the same time: it's closure was needed. The man running that store is... unsavory. I hope you find a life for yourself far, far away from him.
Azz’Rah
Your obsession with coffee is my favorite. The way you word things is absolutely adorable. When I gave you sugar that had coffee in it for the first time- I was trying so hard to hold back on crying out with laughter, your reaction was absolutely hysterical! Come around more often, I feel like you and Var Ras could be very good friends!
Xih'Lach
I've always been fascinated with Vortigaunts, and this one is no exception- the one run in I had with him continues to show me how much their kind deserve more privileges and freedoms around our City. He was kind, curious, and very down to earth. What a commendable soul.
D'Angelo ✞
What an absolute gift it's been to meet you. You're one of the rare few who appreciate The Leech King for the hardworking man he is. Your graciousness knows no bounds, and your advice always speaks to me at the perfect time. Your way of wording your thoughts is unparalleled, and the talks we have always make my day. I hope I can do more for you and your kin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Words cannot describe the pain and sorrow I feel at hearing of your loss. You were a pillar for your kin, and an inspiration to those around you to aspire to do better. Kaffee gave me the drawing you had made of me, and I'm going to keep it forever. I'll never forget you, D'Angelo.
Reginald Brown
Mr. Brown and I worked together organizing the banquet for The Pint. It went off perfectly, without a hitch- and because of it, I was given my tier five position within the City. I'm thankful to him for believing in me and in turn showing his appreciation for how we hosted the event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My god, that show was absolutely hysterical. Your respect and just treatment of Var Ras makes me feel more endeared to you then I do any other member of the Administration. I hope you cherish that Vortisword for the rest of eternity.
William Osborne
I've not much to say of Mr. Osborne. He stops by every now and again, and was also an attendant at the Banquet. I wish I could get to know him more, he seems very...eccentric.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He came in once again, telling of a nightmare he had that borderlined on an episode of sleep paralysis. You've demons that need exorcising, and I can only hope you find the means to rid them off your person. My suggestion? Get those demons a coffee, ask them- "What keeps you here?"
Learn what open doors are letting them in, and close them for good.
Haruto Ito
I've really respected the work Mr. Ito has put into getting where he's got now. His broadcasts were very much needed, as information is highly skewed and word of mouth only goes so far. His success inspires me to work harder to achieve my goals and hopefully become an important figure in society.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glad I could help make your BBQ run as smoothly as it did. And in return, you stood up for my legislation at the assembly. I think the both of us have a very solid working relationship, and it's only going to get better from here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And how true those words have rung! I was recently elected as Vice Chairman of the assembly, and together- we're going to make sure this city, and all the people living in it, are given the changes they so desperately need. Forward towards progress!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're now cold, irritating, and a distant memory of what you once used to be. You didn't change this city- the city changed you. And not for the better.
Ivan 'Leech King' Fitzgerald
I don't give a good goddamned what everyone's opinion of you is- you're a hardworking, reliable, and endearing soul that needs protecting. And I will do my best to give you that. You've a passion and a drive unlike anyone else around here, and for them to think of you as odd, scary, mentally unfit- is spoken of pure jealousy.
Arthur Roosevelt
A confidant of Elias and an elderly gentleman of manners. Perhaps when I'm free, we will find more time to speak. For now- we shall see.
Yann Stephen
Jesus fucking christ you know a lot about steel.
