Conversation 677: WHIRLING F2 / KLAASJE 1

A striking young woman in a silver body-suit smokes in the hostel hallway. She addresses you as if you were a police officer. You may use your finger pistols for a SUGGESTION red-check. Failure gives you some forewarning about what's going on.

19 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) "I couldn't say. In truth... so far, mostly drinking."
  • 56
20 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) She takes a long drag before speaking. "There's a mercenary out back. He's been hanged. The body has been there for a week now. The locals probably got tired of it and called the cops."

  • 54
  • 141
53 You "I don't think there's any more to it. I'm a joke of a cop, or I joked about being one, and I drank too much. I'm also old."
