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.

|
5 | You | Turn your bloated face away from her beauty and just keep on walking. [Leave.] |
|
|
6 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Uh... no." She seems perplexed by your question. |
|
|
7 | You | "Wait, I know! I'm a businessman. *Chief executive officer*, right?" |
|
|
8 | You | "Then why did you call me an officer?" |
|
|
9 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | The young woman shakes her head slowly. |
|
|
10 | You | "Okay... Chief technical officer?" |
|
|
11 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "No..." She looks you in the eye. "You're a *police* officer, sir." |
|
|
12 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Because you're a police officer, sir." She pulls on her cigarette. |

14 | You | "You're shitting me!" |
|
|
15 | You | "Who in their right mind would let *me* be an officer of the law?" |
|
|
16 | You | "God damn right, I'm a policeman! And don't you forget it!" |
|
|
17 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "I'm not. Unless *you've* been shitting *us* all this time..." She takes another drag. |
|
|
18 | You | "And what business is that?" |
|
|
19 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "I couldn't say. In truth... so far, mostly drinking." |
|
|
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." |
|
|
21 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "I didn't mean to overwhelm you with information. You seem a bit... lost, officer." |
|
|
22 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Don't be so harsh on yourself. They let almost anyone be a police officer." |
|
|
23 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Could it be because of the drinking?" She raises an eyebrow. The cigarette sizzles. |
|
|
24 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Okay, cool. I won't." |
|
|
25 | You | "I should get going now." [Leave.] |
|
|
26 | You | "I'm at death's door, bloated, a goner. And still..." (Sigh.) "Does the longing ever stop?" |
|
|
27 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | She erupts in laughter, all the fatigue swept from her face. "What was that!? That's not even how *words* are used. What did you say? C'mon, say it again!" |
|
|
28 | You | "I said I wanted to have sex with you." |
|
|
29 | You | "I want to have fuck with you." |
|
|
30 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "No, you see, that's not what you said. You said..." But she's unable to finish, consumed with laughter. |
|
|
31 | You | "I said *I want to have fuck with you*." |
|
|
32 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "God damn right you did, you crazy asshole, you!" She wipes the tears from her eyes. "What kind of cop *are* you?" |
|
|
33 | You | "I'm a Cop of the Apocalypse." |
|
|
34 | You | "Superstar Cop. I can no longer deny it." |
|
|
35 | You | "I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. You're pretty... I'm sorry. I'm the Sorry Cop." |
|
|
36 | You | "I'm not sure I'm a cop at all. I sure don't remember being one. I think I might have lied." |
|
|
37 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Don't be, it was funny. And, anyway, who gives a shit? Who gives a shit about any of it?" |
|
|
38 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "So what if you can't pull Grade A pussy anymore? There are other things in life -- more meaningful, more fitting for a man your age. This..." She gestures towards herself, draped in silver. "This is *fata morgana*. One thing, though..." She extinguishes her cigarette. |
|
|
39 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "It's gonna suck for you later when you have to interrogate me." |
|
|
40 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "And, for the record: No, I didn't do it." |
|
|
41 | You | "No, I don't want to." |
|
|
42 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Has the time come already?" She raises an eyebrow. |
|
|
43 | You | "Cops walking around with no memory of who they are, saying what I just said... The end can't be more than two days away." |
|
|
44 | You | "No, we still have some centuries to go." |
|
|
45 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "You're one intense cop. Anyone ever tell you that?" |
|
|
46 | You | "I wouldn't know. I have no recollection of anyone ever telling me *anything*." |
|
|
47 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "All right, then. Looks like I should go and prepare for what's to come. And thank you, this has been delightful. I do hope it happens *sooner*. Otherwise..." She extinguishes her cigarette. |
|
|
48 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Okay, that's cool. Or... if I can just maybe ask you to elaborate on that superstardom a tiny bit?" |
|
|
49 | You | "It means I'm a bloated old drunk with sideburns and disco pants. If I don't have a joke up my sleeve -- it's on me." |

50 | You | "I sincerely think I'm a superstar. It's a theory I'm developing." | IsTHCPresent("guillaume_le_million") == false |
|
51 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "I have certainly been entertained. Thank you. Whatever you are, you should stick to it. Otherwise..." She extinguishes her cigarette. |
|
|
52 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Okay, sir, I have to ask: do you really not remember? Just like that..." She tries to think of a likelier explanation, but fails. "You drank so much you lost your memory?" |
|
|
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." |
|
|
54 | You | "No. There is a massive, otherworldly mystery afoot here. And I am at the centre of it." |
|
|
55 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "I'm sorry." She puts out her cigarette. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." |
|
|
56 | Logic | You have no doubt about the drinking, but do you strike yourself as a tight-lipped drunk? She must have heard *something*. |
|
|
57 | Empathy | She speaks matter-of-factly, but there's a sadness in her voice. |
|
|
58 | Empathy | She means it. She wouldn't defy authority, however sweaty and bloated it may look. |
|
|
59 | Perception (Sight) | She hasn't had time to put her make-up on -- this is her morning cigarette. She looks tired, her beauty waning faster than it ought to at her age. |

60 | Empathy | She appears to genuinely want you to understand it's okay. |

61 | You | Try *The Expression* on her -- let her know you want her. Physically. |

62 | Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) | "Alcohol raises testosterone levels, especially in men," she says matter-of-factly. "The levels remain elevated after inebriation ends and the pain begins. You seek comfort. It's only natural." |
