Marco:"Great. Another water thief. Just what I need. Between thieves and Infected, I'll be outta business soon."
Aiden:"(You sell poisoned water.)I'm here 'cause a guy named Julian claims you sold him poisoned water."
Marco:"I didn't poison anything, alright?"
Aiden:"(What are you talking about?) What are you talking about?"
Marco:"You came to rob me, didn't you?"
Aiden:"I'm here 'cause a guy named Julian claims you sold him poisoned water."
Marco:"I didn't poison anything, alright?"
Aiden:"Julian claims otherwise."
Marco:"Sure, listen to the guy who sold me flour mixed with plaster! If you're not a thief, how are you with Infected? I need to get rid of those things down there. If not, I'm done for, poison water or not."
Aiden:"Okay, I'll get rid of the Infected, and you tell me what happened. Deal?"
Marco:"Sure... Deal."
(After dispatching the Infected) Marco:"Make way, kid..." Aiden:"Okay, you're safe. Now... what's the story with the water?" Marco:"Wait... So you really are one of those fucked-up pilgrims." Aiden:""Fucked up?"" Marco:"Now we're safe. Gotta be a fucking criminal... or pretty damn fucked up to drag your ass hundreds of miles through a world full of virals... Fucked up in a good way, of course." Aiden:"So... what about the water?" Marco:"There ain't nothing wrong with my water." Aiden:"A man at the Bazaar was poisoned. You'll be blamed if he dies." Marco:"Ehh... dammit! Okay. It was an accident. Okay? An accident. It's because of these goddamn thieves." Aiden:"Thieves?" Marco:"They're always stealing my water. I can't take it anymore! So I decided to set a trap." Aiden:"You deliberately poisoned the water to kill the bandits?" Marco:"Not quite. At least, I didn't mean to. A while ago, I killed this viral that came crawling in here... And the fucker fell straight into a tub. The whole tub fucking ruined... Then I got this idea. Why don't I teach these bastards a lesson? So I filled some bottles with the zombie water, set 'em out where they'd be easy to see... They were never supposed to make it into the Bazaar! Guess I was sauced up 'n accidentally sold a few bottles to Julian. Look, I'll give you all the flour I got. I'll even throw something extra. Just, don't tell anybody. I'd be ruined!"
Aiden:"(But what about Julian?) They'll blame Julian and he'll hang."
Marco:"Don't you worry about Julian. A weasel like him'll find a way to weasel out of it. And if not... then that's one weasel less in the world. So? We got a deal?"
Aiden:"(Fine.) Okay. It's a deal."
Marco:"Here's your flour, and here's something extra."
Aiden:"(I'll tell them the truth.) Just be honest and tell your story to the Bazaar. It was an accident."
Marco:"You nuts? No one would buy even a drop of water from me ever again!"
Aiden:"I won't let Julian hang for something he didn't do."
Marco:"Fuck Julian! I got my own skin to save. So that's a story you ain't going to tell."
