I'm obsessed with how Shivers will outright tell you that the anodic music kids will fail. I think this implies that, even if you build up the club, nobody will ever visit it.
I think this was one of the times in Disco Elysium that I really... got it. After reading this, I decided to tell the kids to scram. They wouldn't succeed anyways. It felt terrible. I reloaded my save; I couldn't stand to do anything else. Just because hope, beauty, or love are temporary, does that make them any less valuable? Just because you know something will be snuffed out doesn't mean you shouldn't try. That hope and love is valuable for its own sake.
At the time, I was going through a severe depressive episode. I was moving out in six months before moving cross country, so why should I bother investing into my environment? I had this old fish tank I'd poured effort into, once. Got some new fancy aquasoil that would be great for my plants, but it needed time sitting underwater. I left it like that for… oh, months. This damaged, empty, sad little thing that I had once loved immensely.
But building that nightclub with those kids made me change my behavior. I got myself a $6 betta fish, shoplifted some plants from petco, and built my tank up again. Even knowing I'd need to break it apart. So what if it ends? So what if the dance club never becomes popular? You build something and dance with your community, even if your dream fails. Even if it ends. There was love there.
And I think that's one of the things Disco Elysium is about. The kids and their nightclub is a microcosm of the knowledge that the pale is enroaching on Insulinde and the rest of the world. There is a literal, tiny, hole in the world inside of that church. The hole is another reminder of entropy, of the End. And all of this takes place in an edifice of a centuries-old regime and a religion of maintaining the status quo. A religion of broken glass and broken promises. But you take those shards and build on top of them, transforming their meaning. You grow, you build, instead of apathetically letting things remain the same. You find hope and beauty and love even though you know it's unsustainable.
Because the 'now' is valuable in itself. And I love that about this game.

JAMAIS VU >>> MOTORWAY SOUTH
1 "The Hat Law."
ACELE - "Yeah, well..." She tries to think of something to say, but can't. "Look man, fuck the hat."
HALF LIGHT [Medium: Success] - Your pulse rises.
AUTHORITY [Medium: Success] - What did she just say? That's not how a civilian is supposed to address an officer of the law.
[Authority - Heroic 15] Regain authority in her eyes.
"Is that kind of language really necessary?"
AUTHORITY [Heroic: Failure] - Lots of feeling. Feel it up, *way* up.
"Oh my god! FUCK THE HAT?! Is that what you just said to me? I can't *BELIEVE* you told me to fuck the hat!"
AUTHORITY - You're saying it really loud, but it's not coming out right. Maybe add more indignation?
You - "So I should just... just... take this hat I'm wearing and FUCK it, right?!" (Point at your head, where the hat is located.) "Engage in sexual intercourse with a hat right here in front of you, because you told me so? On the SEA ICE?!"
AUTHORITY - More.
"RIGHT HERE ON THE SEA ICE?!"
AUTHORITY - MORE.
"GIVE YOU A LITTLE… ICE-COP-HAT-FUCK-SHOW?!"
(Puff your cheeks as if you can't even *breathe* from the sheer indignity of the affront!)
ACELE - "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry..." The girl is visibly shaken.
KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant is watching the scene unfold before his eyes, unsure how to react.
"IS THAT HOW YOU SEE ME?"
ACELE - The girl looks down, slowly curling into a ball.
ESPRIT DE CORPS [Challenging: Success] - Three figures on the spring ice. One, a shortish man, is standing with his shoulders slightly hunched. Another, a young woman, tries her best to ignore the third, a middle-aged man with spectacular sideburns, who's screaming at her with all his might...
Across the bay, two figures watch the scene unfold through coin-operated binoculars. "My god," one says in a concerned voice. "Let me see," says the other.
EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - That's it, you've earned it -- start crying, life's hard.
Start crying.
"Anyway... I can't believe you used obscenities like that in front of a police officer. And you should... you should..."
ACELE - The words are stuck in your throat. All that comes out is tears, pouring down your face. The young woman has kept her eyes trained on her wires, waiting for the lecture to end, but now she hears sobbing...
Looking up she sees a grown man -- on the wrong side of forty, his face bloated from alcohol and god knows what else -- not so quietly crying.
"This… isn't really about the hat, is it?"
-1 Morale
"No..."
"It is! It *so* is!"
(Wipe away the tears.) "And you should wear a hat, that's it, that's what I wanted to say."
ACELE - "You know, you're not the only one with issues." There's a motherly hint to her voice. "I self-medicate, shit... life's a horror, you know."
"Crying helps, though. Get it out of your system and then maybe we can talk, okay? I'll be here."
Uh, not great.
KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm..." Having looked away during the final phase of your little episode, the lieutenant now addresses you.
"Do you, uh, want to *talk* about what just happened?"
"That's probably a good idea."
"What's there to talk about?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Normally I'm opposed to discussing one's feelings, especially on-duty, but I think this is an exceptional case..."
"So, what do *you* think happened?"
DRAMA [Medium: Success] - 'Tis possible thou couldst persuade the lieutenant 'twas all a part of thy 'unorthodox' method. But can thou persuade *thyself*?

🎵Disco Elysium, Pt 1
Yellow moss on these stones... they're probably stolen from someone's garden.
ACELE - "Hello again." The girl looks up at you for a moment before turning back to her work.
4. "What are you doing out here in the cold?"
...
2. (Give her your hat.) "Here. You need this more than I do."
ACELE - "Thanks." She puts it on. It's a bit large for her.
Item lost: Amphibian Sports Visor
+5 XP
That had little benefit except giving us a bonus on a check we've already passed, but it made me feel better. And since we bought that hat from Siileng, we could always just go get another one.
🎵 Protorave
EGG HEAD - The large-headed youth has closed his eyes, lost in the music. Sensing you, he opens them...
"Good morning, comrade! Yeaaaaaah!"
"I found this reel of tape, maybe you can use it to hard-up Eyck's jam." (Give him the fixed hawthrone tree tape.)
EGG HEAD - "Yeagh, re-mix time!" His voice booms through the church as he takes the tape and attaches it to the empty reel slot. "Tape goes here -- into deck B." He clicks a switch, the tape starts spinning...
A hand on his ear, he listens to the audio through his headphones, and shouts…
"Wow..." His face lights up with delight. "Did you get this from Arno himself?"
EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - A great excitement is bubbling to the surface within him. This is *big*.
"What do you mean?"
"Uh, no, actually I found it tangled up in a hawthorn tree..."
EGG HEAD - "Listen, I'm just going to show it to you... Ready?"
"Ready."
EGG HEAD - "Whooh, hear that?!" He wipes his brow. "The sines match perfectly!"
"Now if only we had the beat for the *full assault*. It would be unbelievably hyper!"
ANDRE - "Intriguing. The way I see it... van Eyck based his remix on some famous original piece. Like, a folk song? Something local. Seems you found an initial part with the main melody."
NOID - "I think it's just happenstance. Chaos in action. Contingencies of our limited existence. That and Egg Head's fantastic talent." He nods to his friend behind the turntables.
INTERFACING [Medium: Success] - Noid's right, Egg Head's technical talent is the key.
LOGIC [Medium: Success] - No, this is definitely part of the same song. Something cut from it. It fits too well.
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Something *mysterious* is going on here...
"Maybe Arno van Eyck lives around here and just threw a part of his song away, because he thought it was shit?"
"Andre's got it. Sounds like a local song re-mixed."
"I agree with Noid, it's just luck -- *and* Egg Head's incredible mixing skills."
EGG HEAD - "Be how it may -- if it fits, it fits!" He pumps his fist in the air. "Bring up the volume!"
Thought gained: Arno van Eyck
ANDRE - "What about the bass? Do you have any ideas for that?" Andre looks back at you.
NOID - "Yeah, I remember -- you said it needs more bass!"
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [Medium: Success] - You can't just leave it without a bass track!
"Honestly, nothing springs to my mind right now. But I'll see if I can come up with a solution down the lane." (Proceed with task.)
"I think it's good enough the way it is. Adding that melody has already been a *massive* improvement. It's pretty hard core now." (Finish task.)
EGG HEAD - "You're *THE WARRIOR*! THE WARRIOR OF DANCE MUSIC!"
ANDRE - "Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't figure it out. I think the jam's already pretty ultra."
EGG HEAD - "But it could be hyper, HYPER HARD CORE!"
5. "Alright. Goodbye, Egg Head." [Leave.]
ARNO VAN EYCK
Temporary research bonus: +1 Interfacing
Research time: 0h 50m
The question won’t leave you – why did the melody line from a broken and discarded tape fit perfectly into a song played by some speedfreaks in a frozen tent? Can it be a coincidence? Maybe it’s the hand of the Man-Machine himself, in his attempt to craft a perfect song. Maybe Egg Head is actually Arno van Eyck in disguise!? Eyck? Egg? Hmm...
CHURCH DOORS - Heavy wooden doors more than twice your height stand shut in front of you. The rectangular, sea-worn ornamentation appears in stark contrast to the padlock carelessly drilled into the wood.
Open the padlock with the key.
CHURCH DOORS - The lock turns easily. You hear a click as the shackle pops open.
SHIVERS [Challenging: Success] - Feels like electricity and a very small piece of nothingness.
KIM KITSURAGI - "Let's go." The lieutenant nods at you.
+1 Reputation
Pull on the doors...
CHURCH DOORS - A great whoosh of air rushes into the dark innards of the church, as though rushing to fill a great vacuum...
... in the heart of the city.
