In the Koorong sewers is a tightrope. Every character who walks by it -- and everyone does, it's the quickest way to get from the Victory Rune caves back to the city -- asks the player if they should take the chance to cross it.
No one can, of course.
Red: Have we met?
Annie: You're the guy asking about BlackX. I've got some juicy info, wanna buy it?
I hope the irony of one of the members of Gradius, the greatest collection of special-needs freedom fighters in all the regions, works as an information broker is not lost on anybody.
Red: That depends on the info... and the price.
Annie: It's about Shuzer.
Red: Let me have it!
Way to play it cool, Red. "I don't know if I'm interested." "Shuzer." "GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!!" He's like a Labrador retriever when you mention the word "ball".
Annie: Well, I'm kinda hungry. I heard this restaurant's great.
Red: All right.
Red: Boy, you sure know how to take advantage of people.
Annie: Take advantage? This is what I get for being nice? Oh well. Why are you so interested in BlackX anyway?
Red: Revenge. They wiped out my entire family. Mom, Dad, and my sister.
Annie: You're breaking my heart... But I still got to charge you. Business is business. I know the exact location of Shuzer Base, and I can get you in there.
Annie if you tell me Shuzer base is in Despair and you lead me through that prison again
I swear to God...
They argue over price, but since it isn't actually charged to my party funds anyway I'm skipping it.
Which is why I mentioned it before. Why does everyone get the option to try to cross every time they try to avoid the nearby slime encounter when only Red can do it, and even then only after Annie tells him he can?
Give Red a break, Annie. The writers forgot his girlfriend exists two acts ago.
