Okay so something that's kind of important about Nervous Broad here is the fact that she's sort of heavily implied to not be a real person. At least she wasn't before she came to Johto. In her homeworld, she's actually the imaginary female alter ego/dream girl of this guy named
Pickle Inspector. They're similar in a lot of ways but I'm not going to get into that right now because it's not all that important and not the point of this post. The point of this post is to give a head's up about my interpretation of the whole becoming a real person thing. Because it's kind of weird and might cause some confusion both ic'ly and ooc'ly. Hopefully I can explain wtf I'm doing here without causing more confusion but prepare yourself for a lot of
bad strange metaphors...
( The power of imaaaaaagination. )ONE OTHER IMPORTANT FACTOID ABOUT NB...she uses slang. Not a big deal, right? Yes and no. See, Problem Sleuth takes place in this really weird, pseudo-Prohibition setting so the slang NB uses is almost a century out of date if you're looking at it from a current-day standpoint. Some of these words and sayings are still used today, but a decent portion of them...not so much. (when was the last time you heard someone call a taxi a dimbox, for example?) Some of them have even changed meanings over the years; for example: a bimbo in the 1920s was a strong/tough guy whereas today it's a derogatory term for a girl who's not the brightest crayon in the box. I've compiled a
list for my own reference, so if you're ever curious as to what exactly she said to your character (and they aren't the type to ask for an explanation or something) feel free to take a gander at that.
