Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
	What are we doing way out here?
	Going to see the witch.
	The witch? I didn't agree to that!
	You run the creepiest ride in town and you're stuck in your costume by some sort of magic spell, but you're scared of a witch?
	As well he should be! How dare you approach me!
	Aaah!
	Drop the act. You still owe me from last week's poker game.
	It's no act. I'm terrifying and you should quake in my presence.
	Shaking in my boots. Are you going to pay up or not?
	I'm no welcher. What do you need?
	This guy is trapped in his costume. It sounds like your handiwork. Can you get him out?
	Hmm. Interesting... Not my magic, but it's very good. I'll give it a try. This may hurt a bit.
	I've had to pee for what feels like months. It can't be worse than that.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on the Gnome-in-the-Home's exclamation mark
	Well, that wasn't helpful. I have no idea who cursed me.
	What's the last thing you remember?
	I remember getting hired and then going deep into the bowels of the Gnome-in-the-Home Dome ride.
	Then that's where we'll start. If cartoons have taught me anything, we'll find some creepy caretaker that's behind the whole thing.
	If you say so. It sounds a little cliché to me.

	What are you doing back here? You're supposed to be out front running the ride.
	I told you there would be some creepy old dude behind it all. Why did you curse him?
	I'm not old, the war aged me prematurely. And what curse?
	I can't take off this costume and I can't remember who I am. Do you know who I am?
	No idea. If we did background checks at carnival rides, we'd never hire anyone.
	Where did the costume come from?
	Bought it off Moeslist. Only cost me three beers. Heck of an investment, too. That thing practically doubled ticket sales.
	What kind of website sells things for beer?
	The best kind.
