User:Blood Ox/Dialogue/The Clockwork Mansion

Arriving in Upper Aventa
Corvo: "I can see Jindosh's mansion from here. The gate's down. I'll need the code."

Two guards inside the Grand Guard station
Guard 1: "Best thing that ever happened to this city. Give me a handful of the clockworks and I'll clean out the Dust District."

Guard 2: "I don't know, maybe the tallboys were better, from the time of that Rat Plague. They made people stand up straight. Times change."

Guard 1: "If the Duke has his way, we'll have an army of the clockwork soldiers by this time next year."

Two aristocrats in an apartment
Woman: "You know, Bella is a friend of the Duke's. She and her husband got one of those clockwork soldiers months before anyone else. They had a party and we uncrated it."

Man: "If I hadn't spent half my life floundering in Potterstead, maybe I'd get invitations like that. It's all about who you come up with."

Woman: "Couldn't agree more, my dear."

Man: "So why'd the Grand Inventor take the clockwork away from them? Couldn't they've asked the Duke to intercede?"

Woman: "Oh, after the incident they wanted it off their estate."

Man: "But it stopped that family of robbers. Surely Bella and her husband were happy about that."

Woman: "Yes, but after it killed the thieving couple and their brats, it slaughtered Bella's favorite gardener. Poor Bella said the back patio looked like one of the whaling slaughterhouses in Dunwall."

Man: "Ugh, repulsive."
