Oh, I'm just the guy who... um... makes things more interesting around here.

Let's just say I have a talent for finding special herbs and chemicals from other worlds.

You know, stuff that can make your day a whole lot brighter, or weirder.

Heck, haven't you ever wanted to see colours that don’t even exist?

I used to be somebody important in a place far away...

Now, I'm the clumsy "guard" who misplaces a few things from every train.

But keep it under your hat, alright? Not everyone appreciates a good mind-altering holiday these days.

Just another day dealing with these blasted portal folk, ruining everything.

They think they can just waltz in here and take control, do they?

Meanwhile, I'm out here trying to make an honest living, sharing a little joy.

You wouldn't believe the rubbish I see in these woods.

Yesterday, some portal-jumping idiot tried to haggle with me.

Like, mate, my prices only go down for locals.

Maybe it's all the drugs these folks are on, making them thicker by the minute.

Not that I'm complaining; it makes them easier targets, you know?

What, are you a copper or something?

This is a place you aren't going to tell anyone about.

It's a stash spot... or was.

I've got some prime hiding places around here, but I swear some portal-jumper must've found them.

Drugs just don’t wander off, right?

So, now I'm stuck here trying to figure out how to replace a fortune's worth of product.

If you see anyone looking smug and out of place, point them out, will you?

Nah, the last bloke helped... let's just say he's not helping anyone anymore.

You seem like the type who'd spill the beans.

Don't need another loose end.

I'd rather not risk your clumsiness messing with my operation.

Nah, you might end up blabbing to the wrong person.

Nope, I've already got enough disasters waiting to happen.

Absolutely not, you'd probably trip over your own shoelaces.

Oh, damn, you want to help?

Fine, got a "special delivery" incoming.

You sure? Things can get... messy.

I've got some "goods" to shift.

Alright, but no names, alright?

Got some... inventory that needs guarding.

Just don’t rat me out when things go sideways.

Got a "shipment" coming in hot.
