The Broker/Dialogue

V0.5.0

Broker

You just love to follow me around, don't you! I admire your dedication to bothering me so I'll give you a little hint. Zuka is expecting a few renovations, so save up a buck or two. I could even help you out a bit, if you do what I ask. But that's for another time! Hehe!

V0.7.0

Starting from Day 3 of the Possessed vs. Bitten Phestival, the Broker moved locations with each daily update, and got new dialogue each time.

Day 3 - Rooftop

Broker

Oh! Are we doing this again? What fun! I wasn't expecting company but, I wouldn't mind sitting down and chatting a while. Care to join me? ... Oh, the door? I wouldn't have a clue about that! Honestly, it seems to have a mind of its own, opening on certain occasions before sealing itself again. ...I'm not sure why. Maybe it would do you good to stop by every once in a while? After all, who doesn't love a good mystery?

This dialogue refers to his secret room underneath the Lost Temple bridge. When he moved here, the door to the room closed, with a red light emanating from the inside.

Day 4 - Alley

Broker

Sometimes, it feels like I'm the only one that really exists. And everything else is fake. Fake people. Fake places. Fake gods. ... Maybe I'm fake?! Hey, maybe we can be fake together! Oh, what freedom that would be.

Day 5 - Library

Broker

Oh hey! You’re back! I mean, not like I was keeping track or anything. But I really appreciate you being here, y’know? It seems the only people who really want to talk to me these days are the cops! So I hide in places like these until it’s mostly clear. ...or I crash at Zukes’ place. He doesn’t like it when I’m there though, haha! ... Hey, I think you and I are gonna be real good friends. What do you think?

This dialogue implies the reason he is moving so frequently is to hide from law enforcement.

Day 6 - Spawn TV

Broker

Oh, I love these! Phestivals are always such a treat to watch. ...Say, I don't suppose you have a little extra free time on your hands, do you? It seems a colleague of mine has gone missing again. Maybe it'd be in your best interest to keep an eye out for them if you manage to cross paths. Saves me a bit of extra trouble! ... On second thought, I don't think she'd like you very much.

Day 7 - Apartment

This is the same apartment where the crime scene and chalk outlines were. When Broker moved here, the room was cleaned up.

Broker

Oh... is it almost over? Such a shame. I was really enjoying our time together. But I suppose there's no stopping change, right? Such is life. ... I think I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone. Our conversations, though brief, gave me something to look forward to every day. I won't be gone for long though, and if you ever need me, just give me a call! ... ...Wait... You don't have a phone?! Oh, that just won't do! Stop by Zukes' place tomorrow, I'm sure he'll let you borrow his! He's generous like that, though, a bit of a hardhead. Haha! Anyways... I'll be looking forward to it.

Post-Festival

Following the end of the Possessed vs. Bitten Phestival, a red phone can be found on the counter of Zuka's shop, which the player can interact with. Interacting with this phone results in unique dialogue depending on which Phighter you are currently playing as.

Medkit

Rocket

Shuriken

Broker

...Oh! You're that Playground punk, huh? I know you, but you don't know me. Hey, a little birdie told me you're hiding someone special. Oh, don't worry, your secret is safe with me. Bye!

Slingshot

Subspace

Broker

...Oh? This is unexpected. Now, I have to ask, why is the head of Blackrock's robotics divison calling little ole' me? You must be getting desperate if you're looking from help for other regions, No? ..I see. No, I don't know anybody by that name. You'll have to look somewhere else. Sorry!

Sword

Broker

...Oh! You're Med's friend, right? I remember you, when you were small and weak. Though, even I have to admit you're still something of a mistery to me, kid. Who are you really? ... Apologies, it seems I have forgotten my manners! Maybe one of these days he could bring you over here, just for a visit. Doesn't that sound nice? Bye!

Vine Staff

Broker

...Oh? You're the flower demon, huh? How quaint. Say, that's some nasty curse you got there. Rare, but I've seen it before. Guess you just got unlucky, Haha! ...But I have a feeling that you've made peace with it. Sometimes I see you outside, mending the dead flora like some kind of miracle worker. It's amazing, really. I have to go now but, you're an interesting one. Do keep in touch, alright?
