## Pathologic (2005)

### General

* Tell me what you want and I shall tell you who you are.
* My heart hurts.
* I am tired to death.
* I am too old. Nothing will spoil me.
* I feel almost nothing.
* People die more often only because they cannot oppose death.
* By old age, people become more reckless and wiser.
* Very few are able to comprehend what death is. In most cases people choose death not by a considered intention, but by stupidity and an established custom.
* Even the most famous act cannot be named great if it is not a consequence of the great plan.

### Day 1

* **(Bachelor)** So, the Saburovs have rendered protection to some Devotress. Who is she?
* **(Bachelor)** The Town would accept death from the murderer of Simon. This is doubtless.
* **(Changeling)** I hope Vlad will expose this Ripper. The murderer has named himself the son of Burah.
* **(Changeling)** I feel a threat in you, child. You are not like us.

### Day 2

* **(Bachelor)** He is a courageous man, this Haruspicus. A worthy son of Isidor.
* **(Bachelor)** Who in the Town will take the place of Simon? Nobody. Brain was taken out of the head, and heart from the chest.
* **(Haruspex)** No, Simon cannot be replaced by anybody.
* **(Haruspex)** The Saburovs have entered the struggle for power. Heh... this is really ridiculous.

### Day 3

* **(Bachelor)** Olgimsky has declared an award for capture of each escaped butcher. What does this cheat want to hide?
* **(Bachelor / Changeling)** Who could think of that? We are threatened with the epidemic of plague. That's what his retreat meant.
* **(Changeling)** Oglimsky *[sic]* gets rid of witnesses. He has got a good friend in Haruspicus.

### Day 4

* **(Bachelor)** What happens to Simon? I feel he is not dead yet. His soul has not separated from the body.
* **(Bachelor)** The Town changes every minute, as if someone cuts it part by part.

### Day 5

* **(Bachelor)** So that's how Rubin did. Quite in the spirit of his Teacher. Only the Teacher strangled the First Flash. And Stakh spec- And Stakh spent the precious blood in vain.
* **(Bachelor)** What did she need in the Cathedral? There is nobody to be cured there. The diseased are taken outside.
* **(Changeling)** So, why is this called land plague? Don't you really know it, daughter?

### Day 6

* **(Bachelor)** The Inquisitor counts on it that you will point the side to be stricken, right?
* **(Bachelor)** Catherina should not have expelled Devotress. Clara is her true continuation. Even if her own daughter would not be closer to her.

### Day 7

* **(Bachelor)** Saburov is no more the commandant. And I am no more a judge. Who are we, then? Puppets in her hands?
* **(Bachelor)** They say this Burakh has managed to create panchea. Good fellow.

### Day 8

* **(Bachelor)** We have no more independence. The magic tower will be crushed. The Inquisitor will transform us into the most usual settlement- into a Town of People.
* **(Bachelor)** Burakh has made the last step. Probably he will speak about father with the Elder. Madman!

### Day 9

* **(Bachelor)** The Sleeping Group has coped with the task. Polyhedron is alive. This is obvious.
* **(Bachelor)** You do not know what is inside the Tower. It's a pity you would never know this, I'm afraid.
* **(Changeling)** The Inquisitor ignores the General. This is a good sign. But the Bachelor is on her side. She has overplayed him. Would he believe us now?

### Day 10

* **(Haruspex)** So it is true? If the bull appeared, that was a sign. But what if it was man-made?
* **(Haruspex)** Clara has appeared to be more artful than I thought. She has stolen an exploit from Brother. Stolen another's destiny.
* **(Changeling)** So, Capella has managed to convince Haruspicus. They made an agreement. And this threat is worse than the Inquisitor.
* **(Changeling)** The Bachelor went to the Tower. He was there, inside. Does he really see what others do not see?

### Day 12

* My branch was called '**Necrology'**. I wanted to do everything so that death would never touch my precious brother.
* To make Polyhedron work as before, I needed to live some more time. Not for the sake of my soul, but for the sake of another soul. Maria will arrange all the rest.

## Pathologic Classic

### General

* Tell me what you want and I will tell you who you are.
* I have a heartache.
* I'm deadly tired.
* I'm too old. Nothing can harm me anymore.
* I feel almost nothing.
* Most men only die because they know not how to prevent dying.
* In growing old, we become more foolish and more wise.
* Few people know death. We only endure it, usually from determination and even from stupidity and custom.
* However brilliant an action, it should not be esteemed great unless the result of a great motive.

### Day 1

* **(Bachelor)** So the Saburovs have offered patronage to some Changeling. Who is she?
* **(Bachelor)** The Town will meet its death at the hand of Simon's murderer. That much is certain.
* **(Changeling)** Hopefully Vlad will call Ripper's bluff. The murderer claims to be Burakh's son.
* **(Changeling)** I can feel you're a menace, child. You're not like us.

### Day 2

* **(Bachelor)** He's a brave man, this Haruspex. Worthy of Isidor's name.
* **(Bachelor)** Who in this town can replace Simon? There's no one. The brain was removed from its head, the heart from its chest.
* **(Haruspex)** No... no one can replace Simon.
* **(Haruspex)** The Saburovs have joined the power struggle. That's ridiculous!

### Day 3

* **(Bachelor)** Olgimsky has put a bounty on any runaway butcher. What is the old fox trying to hide?
* **(Changeling)** Olgimsky is getting rid of the witnesses. He's lucky to have allied himself with this Haruspex.
* **(Bachelor / Changeling)** Who could have thought? A plague is staring us in the face. That's how much his demise means.

### Day 4

* **(Bachelor)** What's going on with Simon? I feel that he's not dead yet. His soul is still connected to the body.
* **(Bachelor)** The Town is changing before our very eyes, as if someone's cutting it apart, bit by bit.

### Day 5

* **(Bachelor)** So that's what Rubin has done. Like master, like apprentice. But Isidor had at least strangled the First Outbreak. And Stakh's wasted the precious blood in vain.
* **(Bachelor)** What does she need in the Cathedral? There's no one the heal there. The sick are taken outside.
* **(Changeling)** And why is it called earth plague? Do you really know nothing about it, daughter?

### Day 6

* **(Bachelor)** The Inquisitor is counting on you to show her where to strike, isn't she?
* **(Bachelor)** Katerina shouldn't have cast Changeling out. Clara is her true successor. Her own daughter couldn't have been closer.

### Day 7

* **(Bachelor)** Saburov is no longer a governor. I'm no longer a judge. Who are we, then? Her puppets?
* **(Bachelor)** They say this Burakh managed to make a panacea. Good job.

### Day 8

* **(Bachelor)** We've lost our independence. The theurgic tower will be trampled. The Inquisitor will turn us into a common village. A Town of Men.
* **(Bachelor)** And Burakh has made his final move. He'll probably talk to the Foreman about his father. Madman.

### Day 9

* **(Bachelor)** The Dream Party has met the challenge. The Polyhedron lives. That much is certain.
* **(Bachelor)** You don't know yet what the Tower truly is on the inside. It's a shame you're unlikely to get a chance to ever find out.
* **(Changeling)** The Inquisitor is ignoring the Commander. That's a good sign. But Bachelor is at one with her. She's outplayed him. Will he trust us now?

### Day 10

* **(Haruspex)** True! That is true! A bull appearing is indeed a sign. But what if it's man-made?
* **(Haruspex)** Clara is more cunning than I thought. She stole my brother's glory. Stole a fortune that wasn't hers.
* **(Changeling)** So, Capella managed to convince Haruspex to join her cause? They've made a deal. A deal more threatening than anything the Inquisitor can do.
* **(Changeling)** Bachelor's been to the Tower. He's been there, inside. Could he have seen something others didn't?

### Day 12

* My path was called '**Necrology'**. I wanted to do everything to spare my beloved brother death.
* I need to live some more for the Polyhedron to work as it used to; not for myself, but for another soul. Maria will take care of the rest.

## Pathologic 2

* This town has too many… reinforcement ribs.
* In truth, I am blind. I ceased to see things long ago.
* It's a disgrace to be illiterate. One must learn to read the signs of fate.
* An umbilical cord connects the earth and the cosmos. It is a ladder, a spring, a bowstring. It is you.
* A life led with purpose never ends in death. Death only comes to those who live pointlessly.
* A soul is like a spring… or a bowstring. The harder you pull, the further your thought reaches when you release.
* Immortality is not what people imagine it to be. It's different… you cannot achieve it without dying.
* Links between souls… that is the way to grow. Weave your web, arachna.
* A touch is an attentive look, or a keen word. One can touch with their hands, too—but that is a hard skill to learn.
* The Oneirotects have met the challenge. The Polyhedron will live.
* Tell me what you want and I will tell you who you are.
* I'm too old. Nothing can harm me anymore.
* Sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.
* Sleep without memory is a crime. We must protect the sleepers, the dreamers. The plague threatens them most of all.
* My heart aches.
* I'm so, so tired.
* I can barely feel anything, these days.
* Everything is connected. Woven together, it forms a pattern in the great design. A human weaver who makes new connections cannot be ended by death.
* Saburov is no longer a governor. But I'm no longer a judge. Who have we become?
* They will turn us into a common village—a town of mere men.
* No. No one can replace Simon.
* A handful of souls could imagine the Focus. Fewer still could build it. But no one can truly understand it.
* Clara is more cunning than I thought. She stole my brother's glory—stole a fortune that wasn't hers.
* When the Town dies, Simon's murderer will be holding the blade. That much is certain.
* Katerina shouldn't have cast Changeling out. Clara is her true successor. Her own daughter couldn't have been closer.
* My path was called '**"Necrology."'** Few can survive the trial of death… I did everything I could so that a handful might pass the test.
