bailey sends 4 dudes to beat the shit out of you in the streets for erasing his spreadsheet
This is one of my favorite things I discovered when making the Bailey Expansion Mod. The below is 100% vanilla/base game content. It's so funny to me lmao
Mickey sends you to delete their name from Bailey's spreadsheet in his office computer and you discover that Bailey keeps a meticulous spreadsheet of his orphans.
You look through the folder and find a spreadsheet. You open it and look through it. It's filled with dozens of names, all of them of orphans that ran away from the orphanage.
You recognise the name of a girl that disappeared two weeks ago, before appearing again. She's in the "retrieved" column. Other names are in the "sold", "released", "escaped" and "other" columns. Mickey's name is in the escaped column. It's the only one without a surname listed.
I love the spreadsheet because it confirms that "retrieving" his orphans is a regular part of his role. But the real fun comes if you delete Bailey's spreadsheet:
You exit out of the file and delete it from the folder. You also clear the file's history. You then delete it from the recycling bin, and use a program on the USB to clear the cache. It also automatically deletes all system restore points, which you hadn't thought of doing.
Bailey marches into the room while you're still at the computer. He snaps his fingers. "Away from that. Now." You step away, and Bailey looks over his computer. "I knew you were up to..."
He trails off, staring at the screen and occasionally clicking or typing. His expression tightens. You can't see what he's doing, but you imagine he's checking the file history, then the recycling bin, then the cache, then restore points. His expression barely changes throughout it all.
Finally, he looks up at you. "I see." He stares at you for an uncomfortably long time. "You can go." You feel his eyes on you as you leave.
Then Bailey hires 4 fucking dudes to beat the shit out of you outside of Landry's Pub:
A group approaches you from an alleyway. You notice several passers-by look away from them. The leader grins darkly. "That's the one. We're earning our keep."
They march toward you, cracking their knuckles.
COUNT THEM, FOUR FUCKING DUDES. FOUR GOONS THAT BAILEY SENDS INSTEAD OF BEATING YOUR ASS IN HIS OFFICE LIKE HE NORMALLY DOES. FOUR!!
The [person] staggers back, nursing a wound. "Damn," he says. "Boss isn't gonna be happy with us."
"Let's just skip town, buy us a few weeks," the [person] says, as the group disperses.
You collapse to the ground, too hurt to move.
The [person] binds your arms together and hauls you into a truck. He slams the trunk shut. After a few minutes, the truck takes off. You try to open the trunk, but it's locked from the other side.
Time passes, and the truck comes to a stop. Someone opens the trunk. It's Bailey.
If you owe rent: "It's about time you paid up anyway," he sneers.
Else: "It's not quite payment day yet," he sneers.
"But I don't care. After what you put me through, I'm not accepting anything less than this."
And then he fucking sells you to your next buyer.
THIS INTERACTION IS SO FUCKING FUNNY TO ME. THE FACT BAILEY DOESN'T JUST BEAT YOUR FUCKING ASS LIKE HE NORMALLY DOES. LIKE HE'S THINKING WOW, I JUST MIGHT KILL THIS LITTLE SHIT, BETTER HIRE 4 DUDES TO GET HER IN THE STREETS INSTEAD.
