Neighborhood Collector transcriptions

zeroone506

As everyone knows ever since Phrog's "Token Hunting", the Neighborhood Collectors are quite an interesting and enriching part of the game's city content, among other details, providing insight into gangs' home and foreign policies, aswell as interesting personal stories and characters.

However, to get to see those (and to get the rewards), you'll eventually have to spend hours on farming dozens of gang items from NPCs. An imposition, especially when the levels grow and the required item numbers increase.

In case you're only interested in the content and not in the rewards, this is the place to read up without the redundant grinding part.

Each Collector has four texts in total, depending on the number of the required gang items in your inventory:
the first one for zero, the second one for between zero and the required number, and the third one for the whole amount (or more);
after the trade, a separate window with the fourth, closing message pops up.

To each transcription I'll attach the according ingame screenshot, to verify the correctness of the writing (or adjust typos, as the case may be), and eventually to show the explicit version of the texts.
Apart from that, images of the Collectors themselves (which is sometimes crucial as they might be gang members themselves) will be included.

Since I don't exactly know the post capacity limit, I'll just post like 4-6 neighborhoods per post (time will tell), following the neighborhood flow.

Enjoy.

Neighborhood: Uriah Industrial Park
Gang:                Choppers
Collector:          FastBack

Gang item:         Chopper Key
Reward:           Industrial Boots

First message:
"I used to run with the Choppers back before they turned into a group of thugs and murderers. I want control of the gang back. Take out those new bloods and bring me their Chopper Keys. A Chopper's ride is still his pride."

Second message:
"The new Choppers are just a bunch of thieves and murderers. No heart. No soul. Keep clearing them out, and maybe I can get control of the gang back. If you can bring me more sets of their Chopper Keys, I'll make it worth your while.

Third message:
"Good job, you killed the little Chopper thugs and took their keys. No ride, no pride. Every one of these new punks that go down is a step towards me getting control of the gang back. I want you to have these boots. They used to mean something so wear them with pride."

Closing message:
"You're an old school Chopper as far as I'm concerned."

Neighborhood: Tabor Park
Gang:                Demon Army
Collector:           Michel

Gang item:         Demon Head Medallion
Reward:             Demonskin Shirt

First message:
"They think they can keep me out? The Demon Army thinks they're too good for me? ME? I'll show them. I want you to kill each and every one of them. Bring me their Demon Head Medallions to prove it."

Second message:
"The Demon Army is still out there, laughing at me. You've been takin' 'em down, I hear. I need more of their Medallions. Come back when you have the rest and I'll have something for you."

Third message:
"Ha! HAHA! That'll show those Demon Army bastards. They didn't want to give me a medallion, and now I have some of theirs! I'll have them all before I'm done. I guess you want to get paid, don't you?"

Closing message:
"The Demon Army will pay for making me look like a fool."

Neighborhood: Moriah Projects
Gang:                Crossbones
Collector:           Jack

Gang item:         Skull and Crossbones Medallion
Reward:             Jack's Gloves

First message:
"I tried to bring my little brother up right but he's been talking about joining the Crossbones gang lately. I want you to help me discourage him. Kill members of the Crossbones and bring me their Skull and Crossbones. I'll make it worth your time."

Second message:
"All my little brother talks about is joining the Crossbones. The more of the jerks that turn up dead, the easier it'll be to help him see the truth. You've done good so far, but I need more Skull and Crossbones before I talk to him. Keep trying."

Third message:
"Alright, that should be enough Skull and Crossbones to convince my little brother to stay away from the gangs. These gloves should help you out, take 'em."

Closing message:
"Thanks for helping me out. The Crossbones should stay away from my brother...for a while..."

Neighborhood: Achan
Gang:                Bells
Collector:         Horace

Gang item:         Small Bronze Bell
Reward:           Horace's Sneakers

First message / second message (identical):
"The Bells are too strong. If I'm going to reunite them with the Blackwoods, I'll need as many of them taken out as possible. You'll have to do your part before you'll get your pay. I'll repeat it - bring me more Bronze Bells. Don't come back until you have them."

(Note: As Phrog already said in his thread, this is most obviously an accidential mergence of the first and second message. The cut lies either before or after the "You'll have to do your part..." sentence.)

Third message:
"The Bells and the Blackwoods belong together. It's the best thing for everyone in Richland. With these Bronze Bells you've brought me, I can work towards making them one gang. Take this reward, you've earned it."

Closing message:
"The Bells and the Blackwoods will be reunited."

Neighborhood: Mara
Gang:                Blackwoods
Collector:           Loripor

Gang item:         Onyx Ring
Reward:             Loripor's Jacket

First message:
"The Blackwoods have been a plague on this neighborhood for years. I want you to punish them, and I'll pay you to do it. Kill them, and bring me those Onyx Rings they wear. Attached fingers are optional."

Second message:
"The Blackwoods have suffered at your hands, but not nearly enough. Keep killing them until you find more Onyx Rings."

Third message:
"You have killed many members of the Blackwoods, and I thank you for that. I can offer you this token as payment for what you've done."

Closing message:
"I won't stop until every member of the Blackwoods gang dies bleeding in the street."

Neighborhood: Magog

Collector:           Kerton

Gang item:        Onyx Ring
Reward:            Sublime Gloves

First message:
"The Blackwoods continue to spread out from Mara like vermin. I want you to send a message that they are not welcome here and I'll pay you what I can. Bring me back their Onyx Rings to prove that the message has been sent."

Second message:
"The Blackwoods only understand violence. You're off to a start, but you haven't gotten the message through to them yet. Keep killing them. Come back to me when you have more of their Onyx Rings as proof of their deaths."

Third message:
"Little by litte, we'll drive the Blackwoods back into Mara where they belong. I'll keep these Rings, you take these gloves, they're all I have to offer you."

Closing message:
"The Blackwoods are getting the message. Continue to hunt them down wherever you see them."

Collector:           Caspian

Gang item:         Miniature Toy Rocket
Reward:             Caspian's Sunglasses

First message:
"The Eighty Eights bring nothing but pain and death to this neighborhood. They'll have to kill me before I stop striking back at them for what they did. Bring me those Toy Rockets they carry. They'll only give them up when they're dead."

Second message:
"You've killed a few Eighty Eights, but you're not done yet, those bastards still need pain brought down on them. Bring me more Toy Rockets. Kill as many Eighty Eights as it takes to get them."

Third message:
"Thank you for bringing punishment down on the Eighty Eights. My family will rest a bit better knowing that you've helped avenge their deaths. I suppose all you care about is your payment. Here. Now leave me."

Closing message:
"I will not stop until all of the Eighty Eights are dead."

Reward:             Kat Skin

First message:
"The Furies seem to think that it is their place to terrorize any creature who wanders through their precious territory. We want you to thin their numbers. Be a good kitty and bring me their Platinum Disk Medallions and you'll get a treat."

Second message:
"Good kitty, I hear you've been clawing at the eyes of the Furies and gathering some presents for us. Wait...oh no, bad kitty. I need more Platinum Disk Medallions! Shoo, kitty, and come back when you have what I need."

Third message:
"Oh, good kitty. Look at all the shiny Medallions that you brought us! Those nasty Furies will leave us alone now. Here's your treat, kitty."

Gang Item:       Platinum Disk Medallion
Reward:             LilQuick's Sneakers

First message:
"I need to keep the Furies distracted while I sneak into their territory to visit my lady. They're not happy with me, so I can't just go walking over there. Tell you what, take a few of them out and bring me their Platinum Disk Medallions."

Second message:
"What's this? You been killin' Furies, right? Gettin' their Platinum Disk Medallions? I need more of those medallions if you can get 'em. It'll distract the Furies so I can see my lady again. Come back when you have 'em all."

Third message:
"Sweet deal, man. You killed so many of those Furies that they ain't gonna care about me no more. Here, take this. Since I don't need to sneak in and out of there anymore maybe you can use it."

Closing message:
"Thanks to you, I get to see my lady every night, and those Furies can't stop me."

"Thin the ranks of the Slashers and bring me their Razor Blade Pendants. We can make a deal."

Second message:
"All I want is for this neighborhood to be a safe place. It's those damned Slashers. I lack the strength to do anything about it myself but I don't lack resources. I need some more of those Razor Blade Pendants from you. Kill the Slashers until you find the pendants, then come back."

Third message:
"The fewer Slashers wandering around, the safer the streets around here will be. You've been a big help. Here's your reward."

Closing message:
"Keep fighting the good fight."

Neighborhood: Midian Park
Gang:                Bricks

Gang item:         Rust Red Handkerchief
Reward:             Reaction Sunglasses

Second message:
"You been doin' good work I hear, getting these Handkerchiefs from those little jerk Bricks who think they're better than me. More! Bring me more!"

Third message:
"Yeah! Little bastards! Once a Brick, always a Brick -- even when you're a dead Brick! Way to show 'em. Here you go, you earned this."

Closing message:
"Next time you kill a Brick, tell 'em that Reactor sends his love."

zeroone506

Gang item:        Engraved Silver Ring
Reward:            Heirloom Revolver

First message:
"I run with the Silver Bullets in Dannah Heights. These fools down here aren't pulling their weight and they need to learn a little fear. Start cracking skulls and don't stop until you can bring me their Silver Rings from their dead fingers."

Second message:
"Hey man, you been takin' out Silver Bullets around here? The local Bullets still need to learn that their place is beneath us Dannah boys. Keep pounding it into their heads for me. Come back for your payment when you have more Silver Rings."

Third message:
"That should show them. The Silver Bullets in Lemone are chumps, and they don't deserve their rings. Here's your reward. Not bad for a day's work, eh?"

Closing message:
"Someday the local Silver Bullets will learn where they belong in the food chain."

Neighborhood: Dannah Heights
Gang:               (Silver) Bullets
Collector:          Kraven

Gang item:        Engraved Silver Ring
Reward:            Ghost Shirt

First message:
"The Silver Bullets around here have become a gaggle of worthless little turds. A gang is only as good as its leader, y'know? So I'm gonna prove that it's time for a change. I need you to crack a few of their skulls and bring me their Silver Rings."

Second message:
"I'm lookin' to challenge the leader of the Silver Bullets, but without more of these Silver Rings, I'm never gonna prove what a tool he is to the other guys. Bring me some more of these things and you'll get some phat loot."

Third message:
"Alright! With these rings, I can work up the other Bullets and take down that lameass leader of ours. I'm gonna own this gang! You really had my back so here's something for you. Big ups to yo' self."

Closing message:
"You watch, soon, I'm gonna be runnin' the show around here."

Neighborhood: Apollyon
Gang:                5 Points (Five Points)

Gang item:         Brass Pentacle
Reward:             The Party Favor (shotgun)

First message:
"I can't take this anymore, dude. I'm not even a member of this stupid gang, but they killed my buds and I can't just walk away now without getting killed myself. I want you to hurt them and bring me the Brass Pentacles that they wear as proof."

Second message:
"I see that you have some Brass Pentacles from the Five Points members. Did you hurt them? Did they scream? Good. I'll never forgive them for what they did to my friends, even if I am stuck with them for now. Keep up the killing. Bring me more Brass Pentacles and I'll make it worth your time."

Third message:
"You took out a lot of the Five Points. That makes me feel kinda better. I hope you killed them slowly. And I hope it hurt, like, a lot. You take this in exchange for those Brass Pentacles. It's the least I can do."

Closing message:
"Maybe I'll figure out how to get away from the Five Points. Until then, I'll smile everytime you make one scream."

Neighborhood: Eshean Projects
Gang:                Death Merchants
Collector:           Big Jimmy Z

Gang item:         Red Coin
Reward:             Z Gi

First message:
"The Death Merchants are a joke. I can't even get enough of my boys together to take a few of them out. Tell you what, I'll trade you some stuff we lifted if you do it for me. Bring me those little Red Coins that they all carry."

Second message:
"I hear you been takin' out Death Merchants. Works just fine for me. Bring me some of those coins they carry and maybe I can trade you somethin' for 'em.

I need Red Coins from dead Death Merchants. No coins, no loot."

Third message:
"Kickass. You brought me Coins off of some dead Death Merchants. That should keep the bastards in line for a while. A deal's a deal: here's your pick of the goods."

Closing message:
"I certainly won't be broken hearted if you decide to keep killing Death Merchants."

Westview

zeroone506

Neighborhood: Southard
Gang:                Guillotines
Collector:           Chaste

Gang item:         Red Silk Ribbon
Reward:             Chastity

First message:
"I was hired to kill the Guillotines. While I'm not one to shy away from a little wet work, full scale slaughter has never been my style. If you're interested in subcontracting, bring me the Red Silk Ribbons that they carry. For this, you will be adequately compensated."

Second message:
"A bullet from a mile away, a poison tab in a drink, or my bare hands in the dead of night... these are my stock and trade. This "mass carnage" that my employers want brought against the Guillotines is a different... artistry. Bring me more of these Red Silk Ribbons since you seem to have this style of artistry within you."

Third message:
"It would seem to be I'm a victim of your success. The contract I currently hold to eliminate the Guillotines has been extended. I suppose acting as middleman can have its perks. Should you gather more Red Silk Ribbons, feel free to bring them to me."

Closing message:
"Hmm... curious. It would seem my, and by proxy your, benefactor is none other than the Pendhurst-Amaranth Corporation. Normally I would never reveal an employer, but seeing how they're paying us to eliminate a gang on their payroll, I decided that cautionary word was warranted."

Neighborhood: Sobra Shores
Gang:                Legion
Collector:           Father Jonas

Gang item:         Pentagram Amulet
Reward:             Devotional Shirt

First message:
"Demons... demons walk among the bluepills. You might think them just Exiles, but the Legion spreads corruption and vice wherever they go. I don't want to know how you do it, but bring me their Pentagram Amulets - the very symbol of their evil ways."

Second message:
"Please, you must collect their symbolic amulets. The Legion will continue spreading its filth and corruption unless we fight to stop them. Know that you will be tangibly as well as spiritually rewarded when you bring me a full collection of the Pentagram Amulets."

Third message:
"Bless you my child, you have brought Pentagram Amulets from the demon Legion. I know it must have been... rough, but you know that you've done a service to all souls still trapped in the Matrix. The war is far from over, but this renews my faith that it is a war that just might be won."

Closing message:
"Some have questioned me: is destroying these Exiles' lives really a work of benevolence; or are the greater evils of fear, hate and prejudice just wrapping themselves in a cloak of righteousness and using me as their pawn? To them I say - my faith shows me the truth! I was right about the Matrix, and I will continue to prove I am right this time as well!"

Neighborhood: Gracy Heights
Gang:                Crushers
Collector:           StraightEdgedJohn

Gang item:         Small Hammer
Reward:             Puglist's Gloves

First message:
"Hey, I want the word out on the street. I'm willing to pay big time for the Crusher gang's Small Hammers. That's all you need to know."

Second message:
"It if was up to me, I'd bash in each Crusher's head with those stupid Small Hammers. Instead I'll pay you to bring the hammers to me. Don't ask any questions, I'm not about to offer any answers."

Third message:
"The Bathary Boys didn't come through for me when I needed them. My own gang is not willing to back me up! You believe that? Hell with them, man I'll take care of the Crushers myself. Take this, it belonged to my boy Vince."

Closing message:
"The Crushers took the only friend I've ever known and my gang won't go after them because it isn't profitable. I don't care about money, I want revenge!"

Neighborhood: Guiness Lake
Gang:                King's Men
Collector:           Optix

Gang item:         Crown Coin
Reward:             Optix Optics

First message:
"Look, you gotta help me. I really need some of the Crown Coins carried by the King's Men. If you get them for me, I'll give ya something real nice - I swear it!"

Second message:
"I know I'm a member of the King's Men, but I need more Crown Coins. I swear I'll make it worth your while."

Third message:
"You got Crown Coins for me? I'll give you the best stuff I got."

Closing message:
"With these coins, and people like you picking off fellow gangsters, people will think I was killed, too. I can disappear from the gang and they'll never come looking for me!"

Neighborhood: Rogers Way
Gang:                A.S.P. (Amber Special Projects Agency)
Collector:           Elmore

Gang item:         ASP ID Card
Reward:             Elmore's Automatic

First message:
"To keep Amber... distracted, for a while, I need to thin the ranks of the Amber Special Projects Agency. If you do this for me and bring proof - meaning their ASP ID Cards - then I will reward you, substantially."

Second message:
"If you can manage to bring me more ASP ID Cards as proof you've dispatched Amber Special Projects Agency members, then will I reward you. Hopefully, this will keep both you and Amber busy for a while."

Third message:
"You have brought ASP ID Cards? Greene will be very pleased to know you're keeping Amber's group so busy for us. Greene is very generous. Take this - there's more where that came from, so keep up the good work."

Closing message:
"The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Amber has been working too closely with Indigo. Attacking Amber Special Projects is the... humane way to keep her out of our way."

zeroone506

Neighborhood: Lucero Point
Gang:                Sparks
Collector:           Clarke

Gang item:         Flint Pendant
Reward:             Sparkling Fedora

First message:
"Listen up, kid. All I care about is gettin' the Flint Pendants out of the hands of that Sparks gang. You bring me those pendants and I'll give you somethin' in return. It's that simple. Why you still standin' here? Go to it!"

Second message:
"Good job, kid. I can see you got some Flint Pendants from the Sparks. Tell you what, you bring more of ‘em to me, I'll give ya something in return. I spent a long time keepin' this place safe, and I ain't about to let some little gangsters turn it to ash."

Third message:
"That Sparks bunch is usin' those Pendants to break every fire code in the system. I ain't about to let them just spit all over that code! Kid, I think you've earned this reward for the Flint Pendants you've brought me."

Closing message:
"Hey, kid. You ever been burned? It hurts like a son of a *CENSORED*. If you don't wanna experience that first hand, I'd suggest you to be more careful with those Flint Pendants."

Neighborhood: Stamos
Gang:                Crow Bars
Collector:           Lucian

Gang item:         Crow Feather
Reward:             Lucian's Launcher

First message:
"I'm in the market for a particular kind of Crow Feather - that of the Crow Bars, themselves. If you get some for me, I'll trade you something valuable."

Second message:
"I need more Crow Feathers from the Crow Bars. I just need enough of them so I can walk away happy. I'd appreciate it if you can add to my current collection."

Third message:
"I will happily trade you for the Crow Feathers you have, if you are willing."

Closing message:
"Another Crow Feather to add to my collection. You have done well. I still need more of these from the Crow Bars, though."

Neighborhood: Manssen Park
Gang:                Disciples
Collector:           Gregore

Gang item:         Small Vial of Blood
Reward:             Vampire Coat

First message:
"Those importunate Disciples.. they want to keep all the power to themselves! Bring me a Small Vial of Blood and I will share in the power with you."

Second message:
"You've been hunting Disciples? I need those Small Vials of Blood. I NEED them. Bring more to me. Take them by force if you must. I'll make it more than worth your while!"

Third message:
"It has always amazed me that something so small can contain all of the bliss that can be known. Give me those Vials, I need them. But wait, I need something to trade - for someone as skilled as you are at taking blood, I'm sure this will be most appropriate."

Closing message:
"I can already feel the power coursing through me! Return to me when you have more vials. The code is exquisite... code is the source of an Exile's life as blood is the source of a human's."

Neighborhood: Bathary Row
Gang:                Bathary Boys
Collector:           Ethan

Gang item:         Blood-Drinker Tooth
Reward:             Mother Coat

First message:
"Continued expansion of the Bathary Boys could be...hazardous. This growth should be halted immediately. If you acquire the Teeth of a Blood Drinker from them, you will be rewarded appropriately."

Second message:
"The Bathary Boys can use a Blood-Drinker Tooth for...disdainful purposes. You will be compensated if you manage to bring more of these to me."

Third message:
"I intend to acquire and subsequently destroy every single Blood-Drinker Tooth the Bathary Boys have ever had including those in your possession. Shall we commence with the trade negotiations?"

Closing message:
"I must commend you on an excellent achievement; the Bathary Boys are not your average ruffians. If you manage to obtain another supply of these, please return here so we may do business again."

International

zeroone506

Neighborhood: Akasaka
Gang:                Brothers of Destiny
Collector:           Petal

Gang item:         Silver Star Medallion
Reward:             Petal Pants

First message:
"I cannot bring direct harm to the Sisters of Fate. They have woven it into my very code. However, I know their secrets and what harms the Brothers of Destiny returns onto the shoulders of the Sisters. I want you to hunt the Brothers and bring me their Silver Star Medallions."

Second message:
"Pain felt by the Brothers of Destiny revisits itself on the shoulders of the Sisters of Fate. So it has always been. You have hurt the Sisters and I wish you to go on hurting the Sisters. I cannot ask you to do this directly. Bring me the Medallions of the Brothers of Destiny, I shall pay you for them if that is what you wish."

Third message:
"Each of these Silver Star Medallions represents a life of a Brother of Destiny. Because of the bond between them, each life of a Brother that is taken brings suffering to a Sister of Fate. I can hear them scream. I can hear their agony. It soothes me to know that they feel a fraction of the pain that they caused me when they killed the man that I loved. Take your payment, you have earned it for the comfort you have brought me."

Closing message:
"Among the codes that the Sisters live by is "Love your sisters before any other". When they discovered that I had shared my love with another, they hunted him like an animal. They beat him, tortured him, forced me to watch, forced me to stand aside while they took him from me. After this, they bound me to their service. I cannot harm them directly, but they have forgotten that I know their secrets."

Neighborhood: Kaede
Gang:                Sisters of Fate
Collector:           Jonny

Gang item:         Small Gold Hourglass
Reward:             Jonnygun

First message:
"The Sisters of Fate carry small Gold Hourglasses as their symbols. They believe themselves to be the agents of fate. What a foolish concept - that there is any fate here. There is no more fate in the Matrix than there is a God in your world. The Sisters do as they please and hide behind their beliefs. It is time they suffered for what they have done. Kill them. Bring me their precious Hourglasses. Then we shall discover who serves fate, and who fate serves."

Second message:
"Everything that I had was taken from me by the Sisters of Fate. I have only material goods left to offer you in exchange for more of their Gold Hourglasses."

Third message:
"Even in the Matrix, what is done can never be undone. The Sisters chose their fate when they killed my love and left me for dead. Their continued suffering is the only comfort that I have. The more hourglasses I collect, the more they have suffered. This pleases me. You have earned this payment."

Closing message:
"I once loved a woman, and she loved her Sisters. When they found that she shared her love with another... they beat me while she watched. They tormented me and left me for dead. I know in my heart that they killed her too."

Neighborhood: Furihata
Gang:                Silver Dragons
Collector:           Tin Can

Gang item:         Dragon Medallion
Reward:             Tin Can's Headgear

First message:
"Dragon Medallions are quickly becoming a prized commodity in this region. People are willing to pay high prices for them just to spite the Silver Dragons."

Second message:
"There is talk on the street that you have been collecting Dragon Medallions from the Silver Dragons. I know of a few people who will pay a king's ransom for a collection of those Medallions. Come back when you have more of them, and we'll talk payment."

Third message:
"The Silver Dragons have given both the Exiles and the redpills reasons to want them dead. Their enemies are legion, and a buyer for these Medallions isn't very hard to find, if you know where to look - and I do. I pay my suppliers well. Hopefully we can do business in the future."

Closing message:
"Feel free to come back anytime and I'll make you the same offer. The Silver Dragons have made many enemies and I assure you that I am quite well funded."

"I've been hired to take care of a little "problem" with the Destitutes. Subsequently, I am paying out handsomely to anyone who brings me a sufficient supply of the distinct Empty Leather Wallets they carry."

Second message:
"I hear that you have some of the destitutes' Empty Leather Wallets. I have been authorized to pay a stipend for these. Unfortunately, we only buy in bulk, so you'll have to collect more of them."

"I'm a very responsible person, and my current responsibility is to remove the Destitutes from my client's neighborhood. This operation is quite well funded, I can afford to trade you a decent compensation for the Empty Leather Wallets you have in your possession."

First message:
"A gang is only as strong as its weakest members. If the Shuriken are to remain the strongest in the Matrix then we must insure that only the strongest of us live to represent the gang. Any one of us who gives up his Platinum Shuriken is unworthy to carry it. Feel free to test any of us that you'd like, I'll even reward you if you can cull enough weaklings and bring me their Shuriken."

Second message:
"You could only have obtained those Platinum Shuriken by overpowering weak Shuriken gang members. Only the strongest of us can be allowed to live. And those who can separate out the weak amongst us are deserving of payment for their guile. Return when you have collected more Platinum Shuriken."

Third message:
"I can remember days when you would not only have failed to collect a single Platinum Shuriken, you would have been killed for the mere suggestion that it were possible. However, you have done us a service and eliminated those who are undeserving. I will trade with you to take back our Platinum Shuriken. They will be given to those who deserve to carry them."

Closing message:
"None but the strongest may earn the right to call themselves Shuriken."

Second message:
"The Black Tigers do not understand pain, but they will learn. I hear that you have given them introductory lessons. Go and teach the advanced course. Come back when you have taken more of their Tiger Claw Pendants."

"I roll with the Daggers. We've been after the Bookwyrms' territory for a while now, but we need someone to go in and weaken them. It can't be one of us, that'd tip them off. Kill as many of them as you can, bring me back their Bookmarks as proof."

Second message:
"The Bookwyrms are getting weaker, but they're not weak enough to be vulnerable to an attack yet. I need Bookmarks as proof of how many you've taken out. Bring me more and we'll be good to go."

"Man, look at all those Bookmarks you've got. You've been a big help to the Daggers - soon we'll be able to roll through here and take Chelsea away from the Bookwyrms. We owe you, take this submachine gun. Be sure to use it on a few more Bookwyrms if you get the chance."

Here is what you do care about: your payment."
