Your name is PROBLEM SLEUTH, and you're the most hard-boiled sleuth in town.
You also happen to be the only sleuth in town, but that ain't real important. Just means there's more work and more clients for you. Of course, you haven't got your boys from back home to back you up in tough cases anymore, but you can handle the job. It's a lonely road ahead, but you'll make it through alright. You're more than capable of taking care of yourself.
Hell, it's the others you're worried about. The guys are lost without your guidance, and you bet there's already some asshole taking advantage of your absence. Just thinking about it's enough for a man to wanna reach for a jorum of skee.
But now's not the time for that. If you ever want to see home again and make it back to the boys before they find themselves in any trouble, then you've gotta get this case all wrapped up neat and tidy pronto. That means you've gotta keep a clear head, and you've gotta stay focused. You haven't got time to goof off.
>SLEUTH: Go to the Temple for your daily Heart-chewing out session
Consider it done. You don't think you could make it through the day if you didn't give that thing the what-for for tossing you in this place without the decency of giving you advance notice.
So far, the Heart's failed to respond to any of your cursing and name-calling, but you know you're wearing the thing down slowly and surely. Really tearing down its morale. It's just a matter of time before the sucker cracks. Maybe you've just gotta push it a little harder, and you think you know just what'll do the trick.
You arm yourself with a sharpie as you make your way down, intent on defacing some crystalline solids.
You're not expecting somebody else to already be there when you finally arrive to do your job, though. Looks like this guy's got some real anger management problems.
>SLEUTH: Warn the greenhorn that the Heart reflects attacks that are thrown at it
Hey, slick - friendly word of advice: you're makin' a big mistake. I hate that thing as much as the next guy, but unless you're downright suicidal you're gonna want to try approaching it from another angle.
>Spades Slick: Be the other guy
