“ | Uh, how's it goin'? You, um, lookin' to buy or sell or...? ―Trip to the fledgling | ” |
Trip is the proprietor of Trip's Pawnshop in Santa Monica. He is a street vendor, and will sell the fledgling valuable items and illegal weapons. However, if the fledgling is not Seductive, Intimidating, Persuasive or Dominating enough, the only other way to access Trip's weapons is to hear he sells them by word of mouth – specifically from Mercurio, Arthur Kilpatrick, or Knox.
Personality & Appearance[]
Trip is very world-weary and dispirited, someone who believes that "Santa Monica is dead." If asked about the recent serial killings Trip expresses concern over the general public's apathy towards them. His bruised eyes and almost slurred way of speaking implies he gets very little sleep, most likely due to him working nights. Trip is extremely paranoid, to the point where the fledgling must cajole him into selling weapons. As his name would imply Trip enjoys taking illegal drugs. It is never specified what kind he usually takes, but he is more then willing to accept them. This includes heavy medication from hospitals.
Interestingly enough Trip is not freaked out by the Nosferatu's appearance, unlike most residence of the Los Angeles area. When he first meets the Nosferatu fledgling he is wildly impressed, believing them to being a body-sculpture enthusiast. He says that he has a friend who is also into the body-sculpting scene and as a result Trip has learned to be more open-minded and appreciative of the uncanny.

Background Information[]
- If you wait until later in the game to ask Trip about weapons -- for example, after you make it Downtown -- and then return to Trip, he'll say that he got his weapons license last week but had forgotten all about it, and his makes his weapon selection available.
- Technically Trip sells Light Clothing, but because the PC starts the game with it and it cannot be removed from inventory, it will never appear in Trip's shop.
- Trip is set to provide Stakelauncher ammo after meeting with Gary, and Rocket Launcher ammo after the Cab Driver has taken you to your first location during endgame, but no "stakelauncher" or "rocket launcher" is available in the game. The existence of other leftover files indicate that the items were intended, but removed before final release.
