{{Infobox journal |image = SS pianolistgaz.png |px = 260px |category = [[Story Event]] |type = Story }} '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Sunless Sea]] [[Story Event]]. ==Trigger conditions== This event is triggered at zee when you have: <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Merciless Modiste]] ≥ 80 and ≤ 99<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Fate of the Pirate-Poet]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS gamekeeper_cottagesmall.png|23px]] [[Something Awaits You]]</ul> ==Story description== <span style='color:white'>The ''Irrepressible''! The legendary vessel of the Pianolist! As its ripples fade, a musical voice echoes in the dark with the crackle of an ill-maintained phonograph.</span> <span style='color:white'>"Greetings to you! Greetings and well-wishes, fellow Captain! You have betrayers on board, of a Set untimely scattered. We would witness our betrayers taste betrayal. Such exquisite irony! So much to be learned! Will you yield them to us?"</span> <span style='color:white'>The breezy musical voice shifts to the minor key.</span> <span style='color:white'>"Your immediate response is politely demanded."</span> ==Interactions== {| style="width:100%;" class="ss-table" ! style="width:15%;" | Actions ! style="width:15%;" | Requirements ! style="width:25%;" | Effects |- | <span style="color:white;">'''Hand over the Merciless Modiste'''</span> She seems mystified by the voice's demands, but one thing is clear: she will not go willingly. | <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS ironsmall.png|23px]] [[Iron]] ≥ 60</ul> | <span style="color:white;">'''The Modiste is cast into the darkness'''</span> She fights every step of the way, a look of absolute terror on her face. Her eyes meet yours at the threshold of the airlock atop the vessel, before the gun in her face forces her to slowly descend the ladder into its depths. For a moment, a grinding sound of pain and cracking bone rises from the zubmarine's belly, suddenly cut off and replaced with... Vivaldi? The high-notes pierce your ears, the low ones dig deep into your gut. "Extraction is complete. Nothing of interest remains." A smaller airlock opens. Inside, a box. Inside that, a heart. Cold, desiccated, punched through with hundreds of holes that bring to mind a roll of pianola paper. The ''Irrepressible'' submerges. Its ripples soon disappear. So, you are alerted, does the Pirate-Poet. Her cell is open, and a lifeboat missing. Connected? It hardly matters. Without the Modiste, you have nothing to gain from her anyway. <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Merciless Modiste]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS heart2small.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste's Heart]] = 1 <p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[Rumours of the Pirate-Poet]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">+10</span> [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS echosmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+500</span> x [[Echo]]</ul> |- | <span style="color:white;">'''Hand over the Pirate-Poet'''</span> She is already in chains. That makes it easier. | <ul>[[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS ironsmall.png|23px]] [[Iron]] ≥ 50</ul> | <span style="color:white;">'''The Pirate-Poet is cast into the darkness'''</span> She walks with her head held high to the airlock atop the zubmarine. "I am prepared," she declares, breaking the shackles on her wrists with one powerful tug, the easier to climb down the ladder. "I have returned. I ''submit''." And down she goes. For a moment, a grinding sound of dancing sawblades rises from the zubmarine's belly, suddenly cut off and replaced with... Vivaldi? The high-notes pierce your ears, the low ones dig deep into your bones. "Extraction is complete. Nothing of interest remains." A smaller airlock opens. Inside, a box. Inside the box... a heart. Moistened, still warm to the touch. Drilled through with holes, like a roll of pianola paper. The ''Irrepressible'' submerges. Its ripples soon disappear. The Modiste is too relieved to be angry... for the moment. <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Merciless Modiste]] = 150<p></p> [[File:SS heartwitheredsmall.png|23px]] [[Pirate-Poet's Heart]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[Rumours of the Pirate-Poet]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[Encounters with the Pirate-Poet]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">+10</span> [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS echosmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+500</span> x [[Echo]]</ul> |- | <span style="color:white;">'''Hand over both members of the Set'''</span> Whatever their history, you wash your hands of it. | <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS ironsmall.png|23px]] [[Iron]] ≥ 75</ul> | <span style="color:white;">'''The Modiste and the Poet are cast into the darkness'''</span> A pair of crewmen lead the two members of the Set at gunpoint. The Pirate-Poet awkwardly rests a comforting hand on the Modiste's shoulder as they approach the airlock atop the zub. She is the first to descend the ladder, vanishing into its pungeant depths. The Modiste follows. Behind them, the hatch slams shut. For a moment, a grinding sound of pain and cracking bone rises from the zubmarine's belly, suddenly cut off and replaced with... Vivaldi? The high-notes pierce your ears, the low ones dig deep into your gut. "Extraction is complete. Nothing of interest remains." A smaller airlock opens. Inside, a box. Inside that... two hearts. One is moist clay, one dried flesh. Both are punctured with hundreds of holes that bring to mind grisly rolls of pianola paper. The ''Irrepressible'' submerges. Its ripples soon disappear. <ul>[[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Merciless Modiste]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[Rumours of the Pirate-Poet]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[Encounters with the Pirate-Poet]] = 999<p></p> [[File:SS heart2small.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste's Heart]] = 1 <p></p> [[File:SS heartwitheredsmall.png|23px]] [[Pirate-Poet's Heart]] = 1<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Pirate-Poet]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS mercilessmodistesmall.png|23px]] [[The Merciless Modiste]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">+10</span> [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS echosmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+1000</span> x [[Echo]]</ul> |- | <span style="color:white;">'''Refuse the Pianolist'''</span> They are on your ship, under your protection. | | <span style="color:white;">'''An offer rejected'''</span> Silence. A long, unbroken silence in which to ponder the damage a zubmarine can do to a ship. The torpedoes it could fire. The blades that might cut through the hull beneath the waterline. The harpoons that could drag it to- "Acknowledged. Thank you for your time." The ''Irrepressible'' submerges. Its ripples soon disappear. <ul>[[File:SS skullsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">+5</span> [[Terror]]<p></p> [[File:SS piratepoetsmall.png|23px]] [[The Fate of the Pirate-Poet]] = 1</ul> |} [[Category:Sunless Sea story event]]
