Brodie Jiang

Brodie Jiang is a janitor who works 6 evening hours at the House of the Enlightened located in The Well under New Atlantis. He spends most of his time at Kay's House. Brodie wears Brown Elbow Grease Gear, carries a leveled handgun with ammunition, common leveled Aid, and rare leveled Credits.

Commentary

His greetings include:

• "I'm not much for prayer. Tried it once, didn't stick. But maybe it's like tape, and I was just on the wrong side."
• "I used to drink. Then I met Jake. Now, I don't. You might say he saved my life."
• "They say never hire a man when a machine can do it for free. But down here, people can't afford the machine."
• "I do odd jobs at evenin' hours. Lift crates, stock shelves, sweep floors. It's not much, but it's enough."
• "Kay's place is like a second home. Problem is, I don't really have a first."
• "Kay's food is as close to homecookin' as you'll find around here."

If you stop speaking mid-conversation:

• "Giving your mouth a rest, huh. My aching bones could use the same."
• "*Humming*"
• "At my age, I've learned to appreciate a little awkward silence."
• "Take your time, I'm in no hurry."

He will end conversations by saying:

• "Take it easy."
• "Stay safe."
• "Take care."

Dialogue

What's it like living in the Well?

"What you see is what you get. Work's rough, pay's rougher."

"But I like to think when things get bad, that's when people's kindness shines brightest. Even down here, heh, where the sun don't shine."

--

Did you grow up here?

"No, I came here like a lot of folks, looking for work. It's an ongoing search."

"The ones who've been here a while? They can't even sleep unless they got a turbine in their ear."

"Maybe someday, I'll be the same."

--

Any other advice?

"Nope, just uh... make sure to wipe your feet. You track mud in, then someone's gotta sweep it out."

"Most days, that's me."

Andy Singh:

You know Brodie, if you join the House, we could do more for you. There are programs...

Brodie Jiang:

Much obliged, but I'm not looking for a sermon or a handout. You giving me this job is more than enough.

--

Andy Singh:

You know why I hired you, Brodie? You're a man who takes pride in your work.

Brodie Jiang:

I appreciate the praise, but I wouldn't say it's anything special.

Andy Singh:

It may not be special, but it's hard to find, and that makes it valuable.

Kay Mason:

You staying for dinner Brodie?

Brodie Jiang:

I think I'll be heading off. Don't want to wear out my welcome, ma'am.

Kay Mason:

Nonsense. You got a stomach, don'cha? Last thing we're gonna do is let you walk out on an empty one.

--

Kay Mason:

How are things working out over at Andy's? He's not giving you any guff, is he?

Brodie Jiang:

You know me, Kay. I'm just grateful for the work.

Kay Mason:

That doesn't sound like a guff-free environment to me. Maybe I might have a word with our "enlightened one."

To edit this section: New Atlantis/RandomConvTheresaBrodie

Kay Mason:

So how come you never settled down, Brodie? No great love in your life?

Brodie Jiang:

I don't know, never gave it much thought. Too busy worrying about my next meal.

Kay Mason:

Well, next meal is on the house then. And you can think about it all you want.

Bugs

• His packages add up to 24 hours, but are 18x6, 24x12, 18x6. Last should be (any, any) to cover 12x6. (details)
• He was supposed to talk with both Kay and Theresa. But all these conversations were voiced by Kay, so not able to be fixed.
