...

Are you flirting with me?

[modern_truths]

Be serious.

[offthepigs]

In that case, I was having a really fucking good one until your ass showed up. And then I found myself staring at some wild-looking man with no head and a thing for bears.

[modern_truths]

...Ah. The Hessian. You saw that? I blinked and found myself in a queer looking room with a dancing man wearing nothing but a...um, bed sheet. And a very strange young woman who sprayed something in your eyes.

Which brings me to the second matter. Who was that woman, Mr. Duke?

[offthepigs]

Oooh God...that child...it's all his fault. I did nothing.

[modern_truths]

What happened? Who is she?

[offthepigs]

It's possible that he penetrated every last orifice in her body with his throbbing, uncircumcised member.

Her name was Lila...no...Lilly...er, wait...Lucy? Yeah, that's it. The fucking death of me.

[modern_truths]

She was...molested? By who? Who is "he"?

[offthepigs]

My attorney. He's a good man, but he suffers from a bad heart.

[modern_truths]

And he molested this poor young girl? How could you allow him do such a thing?!

[offthepigs]

I wasn't there man! I was being raped myself!

[modern_truths]

Why do I find this hard to believe?

[offthepigs]

Because you never believe a word that comes out of my poor goddamn mouth?

[modern_truths]

You are not exactly what I would deem trust-worthy.

The girl--Lucy--what happened to her after the...incident?

[offthepigs]

Ooooh God, my judgement day has come. You better take care of me, Lord, if not, you're going to have me on your hands.

...I took her to another hotel room, paid for the room on my credit card, and asked them to take care of her.
