Brodie Jiang

Brodie Jiang, full body

Brodie Jiang is a janitor who works at the House of the Enlightened in New Atlantis's The Well. He likes to have dinner at Kay's House.

Brodie wears Brown Elbow Grease Gear. He carries an Eon with ammo for protection. He also carries an aid item and credits.

When starting conversations, he will say:

"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."

You can ask him about a few topics, in conversation:

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."

If you stop speaking mid-conversation, he will say:

"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."

Conversations

While at work he may converse with Andy Singh:

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.

or

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

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.

While at Kay's House, he will converse with Kay Mason and Theresa Mason:

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.""

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."

Theresa 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."

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