conversations.value: [In a gruff, gravelly voiceover] Bordham's not the city she used to be. Oh, there's money alright, and the rich and famous still throw lavish parties, but she's gone cold--cold, and soulless. She's love you all night long, and then leave you drowning in a ditch when you fall, the click of her heels on the pavement the last thing you hear.
  
  She's a cold dame, but she's hard to walk away from, especially when you're trying to keep her streets safe. A lot of crooked cops roam the city now, but not Bix and Haven. They don't get fancy medals or money for it; more often than not, it's a verbal thrashing from Chief Jahani for doing the right thing. The right thing ain't always pretty, see. But they do it anyway, even if it means a deal in a back alley from the woman in Motley, or crossing paths with lounge singer and rumored murderess Kit. You do the job that has to be done, or you die trying.
  
  She's a cold city, Bordham, no doubt. Cold, dark, and dangerous, like a gun in your hand, or a the dame on your arm that smiles a little too wickedly. Maybe you'll get lucky, though, and it'll be the dame that kills you, not the gun.

  This is Kit's Noir Friend Fiction. Feel free to go wild with hyperbole, comedy, and general over-the-top silliness. But remember! It's at least *ostensibly* noir.

conversations.value: Your alter ego in Kit's crazy noir fiction.
conversations.prefix: You:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know the drill
conversations.prefix: Strength Placeholder:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The drill, I says you know it.
conversations.prefix: Weakness Placeholder:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The more over-the-top, the better.
conversations.prefix: Your pulpy noir subplot:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A cursory look makes it clear that this was no ordinary killing. People’s organs usually stay on the inside. Symbols were scrawled on the walls and floor. Something strange happened here.
conversations.prefix: Call in the SCU-M:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: What? Dead bodies are a dime a dozen. The night goes on and there’s plenty more to do. Save your tears for the funeral.
  
conversations.prefix: Business as Usual:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Kit is obviously superior to all other beings in existence. And all the ones out of existence. So you should let it show. Excessively.
conversations.prefix: Adore Kit:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Approximately as obstructive as he is helpful, Ward is... well, a cat. But a damned dapper cat.
conversations.prefix: Ward:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One of these people has to know something that can help your investigation. Only question is, can you pull it out of 'em?
conversations.prefix: Conduct Interviews (Bix, Haven):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The SCUM are looking your way now. Maybe they find you know something about this whole mess. Maybe they find out something else you wish they didn't.
  
  Hopefully they don't find nothin' at all.
  
  Wait, that's a double negative. Does that mean hopefully they do? Gah. Note to Future Kit: Edit this out.
  
  [Challenge results are individual, not based on overall outcome]
conversations.prefix: Under Investigation (Kit, Jake, Regan, Hesther):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A pair of goons who reputedly work for Boss Crato. Though one might expect the short one to be the brains of the outfit, it's clear that the big guy calls the shots--and that's probably a good thing, given how bloodythirsty the other one is.
  
  Some just call the big guy 'The Monster,' though not to his face, and nobody's yet dared to call the smaller one 'Amy' to his face, even if the rumors do say that's his name.
conversations.prefix: Tall & Small:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Okay, the narrator kind of forgot you were in this scene. 
  
  Do something anyway. Make it cool. Or at least funny.
conversations.prefix: Do Something (Jahani):
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sometimes, getting the job done means bending a few rules. Sometimes, it means taking the rule book and firing it out of an artillery unit.
  
  Bix is out to clean up the streets, even if it means getting his hands dirty.
conversations.prefix: Loose Can(n)on:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One liner? Check.
  
  Pun at the ready? Fire.
  
  Mystery to solve? This isn't even a two cigarra problem.
conversations.prefix: Detective's Wit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: He needs to bring justice to this city, but he won't resort to lowering himself to the criminal's level.
conversations.prefix: Straight-laced cop:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You see a lot in this business. Too much. There are days when you want to pluck your eyes out.
  
  But then what would you use to find criminals? It's a no win situation, but someone has to do it.
conversations.prefix: Jaded Detective:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Yeah, these streets are dirty alright. Three street sweepers and a tanker of pledge couldn't take the grime off.
  
  But someone has to scrape the scum from the underbelly of civilization, even if it does mean mixing your metaphors...
conversations.prefix: Clean up these Streets...:

conversations.value: I dunno. I mean, he can make protective circles from nothing. He can probably do other things, right?

conversations.value: Things just don't seem to make sense to him sometimes, do they?
conversations.prefix: Foggy mind:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The city's dangerous, there's too much crime. Haven'll be damned if he lets them hurt the one he cares about.
conversations.prefix: Keep the city safe. For her.:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know the one. 
  The woman in the bar with a black outfit, deep lipstick, dark shades, and a know-it-all smile. She is both sensuous and dangerous, but calm and collected as well, and knows far more than she reveals.
conversations.prefix: "Mysterious Woman":
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's a thankless job, but somebody's got to keep the brutes in line and try to keep this city in order.
conversations.prefix: Chief of Police:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A good application of unnecessary force never hurt anyone. Except for the other guy. But not you, so who cares?
conversations.prefix: Forceful:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Okat, *that* might've been a little too forceful.
conversations.prefix: Excessively Violent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's no good leaving cold cases just lying arond. People need to know the police are doing their jobs. They need peace of mind. They need to feel safe.
  
  It is also vitally important to keep your job.
conversations.prefix: Close the Case:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: At every crime scene, he is lurking nearby. It is often that you see him out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn around to check - he is gone.
conversations.prefix: The Man in the Shadows:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Most of the time people say they have eyes everywhere, but not quite as much as you do. You can be anywhere and everywhere at once - keeping eyes on everyone no matter the domain. 
conversations.prefix: Eyes Everywhere:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's another side to people. It takes control  - being almost impossible to detect and relaxes there for a few moments at least. It changes your mind and does things that you would more often than not do.
conversations.prefix: The Other Side:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Everything is never so simple. There are so many complexities in life that need unraveling. You are just here to make it all seem so much more complex and complicated than it really is. The best of wishes to the SCU-M.
conversations.prefix: Complications:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Smart-mouthed and sarcastic, verging on a bit *too* much, maybe, but overall tolerable--and a good resource.
conversations.prefix: Bold:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: "I fix cars... no, CARS. What makes you think a mechanic is something else?" 
  
  *cracks robot knuckles*
conversations.prefix: Mechanic:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you decide to do something, or to stay quiet on a subject, it's damn near impossible to change your mind. Sometimes this is admirable. For the most part, though, it's just aggravating.
conversations.prefix: Stubborn:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.value: Unlike some *other* individuals, you only have one. But one is all you need.
conversations.prefix: Robot Fist:

conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.value: "You want to hire me to do *what*? Listen, I'm a mechanic. Mech. An. Ic. I don't... wait. What are you doing with that gat?"
conversations.prefix: Mistaken Identity:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's hard to make a living in this burg, especially when some folks seem to think your occupation is something it isn't.
conversations.prefix: Tryin' To Get By:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A lot of information comes through the club Kit sings at, and someone will usually be grateful for it. No one needs to know how you get it, after all.
conversations.prefix: Bartender:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: People tell things to bartenders, and you keep your ear to the ground. Oh, and there's some weird psychic shit too, but you don't tell anyone about that.
conversations.prefix: Information:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Not the shiniest button in the box, nor the sharpest knife in the drawer. But you're cute. And loyal as a puppy.
conversations.prefix: Cute But Dumb:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Seriously, you've seen that dame, right? You'll do anything to get her attention. Anything.
conversations.prefix: Anything For Kit:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Looking for certain items? Need a situation... taken care of? You're going to wind up on Boss Crato's doorstep sooner or later. And it'll be the woman in motley who opens the door.
conversations.prefix: Crato's Lieutenant:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: How will she get the job done? Dunno. Handwave-y mumble-mumble Powerful Mob Boss stuff happens. Probably costs a fortune.
conversations.prefix: Unlimited resources:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: An endearingly sweet, innocent and wholesome young woman who has little experience and is very trusting.  The term comes from the feminine form of the French adjective ingénu, meaning "ingenuous" or innocent, virtuous, and candid - but whether it's defined in English, or in French, it pretty much describes Sienna.
  
conversations.prefix: Ingénue:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: She hates the Boss. Oh, how she hates him. But she'd move the moon and stars for him. There are those who say he has too much dirt on her, and those who say he's made the right threats; but the ones who *know* say she owes him.
conversations.prefix: Indebted:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Boss Crato has a vision for Bordham, and one thing's for sure, it's gonna shake the "bored" right out of the place.
conversations.prefix: The Boss's Plan:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Caring and pleasant, you have or show kindly feelings and sincere interest in others.  Especially cats.  And dogs.  And wildlife.  And people.  Well, *some* people, anyway.  
  
conversations.prefix: Friendly:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A person or thing that is spectacularly unsuccessful, or often in a state of confusion (or both) - especially one that is a source of peculiar fascination ... but not always in a *good* way.
  
conversations.prefix: A Hot Mess:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You’ve read it for others in tarot cards and tea leaves. You’ve even seen images of it in meditation, and in your dreams - and in those glossy magazines that the man next door gets, but doesn't return to their 'plain brown wrappers' before he throws them in the trash.  (Somebody's *got* to explain the concept of "recycling" to that guy!)  
  
  If only you could find it for yourself ... True and lasting love, that is - not the magazines.  (You could send in a subscription if you wanted to pay for the pics.)
  
conversations.prefix: Find True and Lasting Love:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Which Hesther will we see today?  Holier-than-thou Hesther? Because-I-Say-So Hesther?  Please-Like-Me Hesther?  Maybe even Kind-of-Ok Hesther?  No one knows until it's too late.
conversations.prefix: Variable:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Considered the last line between prison and walking free, there's a lot of responsibility on you.
conversations.prefix: Lawyer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A twitch of the eyelid can reveal someone's lying. A certain kind of perfume what type of car they prefer. You can read the signs.
conversations.prefix: Perceptive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Not diagnosed, but everyone says that you have a tendency not to care for others around you.
conversations.prefix: Sociopathic:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The one that got away. The one he was married to.
conversations.prefix: Find HER:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you think a cause is important, you're like a dog with a bone--and your moral compass still points north, even if you take the long way around nowadays.
conversations.prefix: Relentless:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: So much.
conversations.prefix: Aggravating:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Surely there's something she can do to be helpful.  Or at least not get in the way.
conversations.prefix: Try to keep up:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hesther's character can change and adapt with the scene and mood, sometimes even in ways that are frustratingly inimical to Kit's current feelings towards her. 
conversations.prefix: Changable:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: At the moment, you are intangible, watching from the sidelines, never able to actually interact. You crave the contact and affection that other people feel, you want to interact with people.
conversations.prefix: Become Real.:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They say she can handle a business negotiation as well as she handles that mic stand.
conversations.prefix: Owner and Star of the Vixen's Cry:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: She was one of those dames who looked like a butterfly and stung like a bee. She had the voice of an angel and the mind of the devil. She was red hot, sure, but her heart was cold as ice.
conversations.prefix: Drop Dead Gorgeous:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It ain't easy, being a pretty face. The club is a start, but this Vixen's out to prove she's a woman of substance. Wants to leave her mark on this mess of a world, maybe find her own happy ending. Is that so much to ask?
conversations.prefix: A Happy Ending:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Why isn't there more Kit in this scene? Why aren't they talking about Kit? Why aren't they doing what Kit wants them to do!?
conversations.prefix: But this story is about ME:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You like to talk.  A lot.
conversations.prefix: Chatty:
