Helios saves the world through sex

In Love's name and for Love's sake, I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Love's service alone, rejecting all other usages.

I will spread joy and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what loves and rejoices well in its own way, and I will change no object or creature unless its joy and love, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened.

To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside despair for hope, and hatred for love, when it is right to do so-- Until Universe's end.

What the fuck.

He rereads it many times, floating in the air like a hologram except THAT IS NOT HOW HOLOGRAMS WORK. Looks around his little study. He's alone. "Anyone there? If this is a prank... it's a really well-executed one and I wanna learn how you did it."

Nothing happens. And continues to happen, until he gives up and taps the 'Y'.

Description: Oliver Huston has been paraplegic all his life due to a malformation of his spine in the womb. While he's made a point of proving himself capable and a valuable human being in spite of the world's insistence to the contrary, he has not been able to filter out the constant messages from society that he is somehow "lesser". He has sought the more intellectual pursuits, and is gifted in them, but sometimes he does have to resort to fiction to escape the world he lives in. By taking the Wizard's Oath, he has chosen to pit himself against the forces of ennui, boredom, and despair. He will need all his ingenuity, wit, and *ahem* sexual prowess to save the world.

Spells

Wizard's Body (Lvl MAX | Passive): The One has taken away some of the inconveniences that prevent people from loving each other fully. You heal from all marks with a good night's sleep, ready for the next day's adventures. Venereal disease does not exist for you; neither do refractory periods, erectile dysfunction, or anorgasmia. You can't get anyone pregnant unless you want to. Arbitrarily large appendages can fit into any of your orifices. Other aspects of this spell depend on the BOD stat.

Wizard's Mind (Lvl MAX | Passive): The mental flexibility and resilience you need as a wizard. You are more able to accept the realities of your new world. You are able to bounce back from painful, upsetting, or bizarre experiences with relative ease. Rape can be anything from a recoverable trauma to a Tuesday afternoon, but it won't ruin your life. Other aspects of this spell depend on the LUV, SED, ART, and NOV stats. 

Wizard's World (Lvl MAX | Passive): Your world has just gotten a little more... magical. People are never too preoccupied to think about pleasure or love when you're around. Bystanders won't ignore what you do, but they're unlikely to ever stop you. Those who do intervene will find themselves changed. If you go far enough that an authority sees no choice but to intervene... they won't treat you as a simple criminal. Other aspects of this spell depend on the WIZ stat.

Manual // Character Stats

LVL/Level: The quantified totality of your power as a wizard. The effects of this characteristic go far beyond the five stat points you get per level and the one boon you get per five levels.

BOD/Body: Your physical characteristics, including but not limited to your physical attractiveness. As BOD goes up, your body will be able to enact more exotic events.

LUV/Love: You should love everyone, and the One isn't averse to giving you a little... push. Don't worry, it'll start out at a level you can handle.

SED/Seduction: Your ability to seduce others, pique their interest and arouse their desire.

ART/Art: Your ability to give others pleasure... or other sensations.

NOV/Novelty: There are many sources of love and joy. This measures how many of them you understand.

WIZ/Wizardry: The extent to which the world will bend-- or be bent by you-- to create situations in defiance of probability. Or, at higher levels, physics.

DOM/Dominant Energy: Based off SED and ART, powering spells that invoke power, control, or mastery.

SUB/Submissive Energy: Based off LUV and NOV, powering spells that invoke submission, surrender, or service. 

Manual // Character Stats // Level

At LVL 1 and 0% progress to the next level, you're at the very beginning of your journey.

You can increase your level by completing quests offered by your manual or by spreading love and joy throughout the world. The more difficult the challenge, the greater the rewards.

Manual // Character Stats // Body

Your BOD of 13 makes you a bit above average. You're cute, but you don't take care of your body. You know there are ways you could have exercised more, but you never bothered, and it never seemed important. Still, one should not discount beauty when it comes to attracting other people. 

You can increase this stat through exhibitionism and other acts which invoke the beauty and power of your physical form.

Manual // Character Stats // Love

The average teenage boy would be comfortable with a LUV of 20, so your LUV of 17 is about normal. And there are more interesting things than sex, right? At least, before it gave you magic powers. 

You can increase this stat by experiencing urges towards pleasure that are unusually intense or go on unusually long. 

Manual // Character Stats // Seduction

You've never really flirted. You don't trip over your words when you're talking to someone of the opposite sex, but you're no Don Juan. Still, when your goal is to seduce the universe into being better, a SED of 10 isn't quite going to cut it.

You can increase this stat by arousing the interest and desire of others and successfully pursuing them or being caught.

Manual // Character Stats // Art

You're not surprised by your 8 in Art. You've had sex maybe three times in your entire life, and you suspect at least two of those were pity fucks. Don't get discouraged, though, you will definitely improve on this! Work on it!

What do you do to improve this stat? Take a fucking guess.

Manual // Character Stats // Novelty

Living in the era of the Internet takes your NOV to 13, above average, but only because old grandmas are included in the average. You never saw much reason to learn about the perverted pleasures of the world, given how little interest you had in even sex. This might be about to change.

You can increase this stat by taking joy and pleasure in things you thought were painful or repulsive.

Manual // Character Stats // Wizardry

At a WIZ of 10, your world still mostly lies behind the dark cloud of the Lone Power. What happens to you may seem unlikely to others, but it won't break the boredom and bitterness they have about the universe... yet. Witnesses will reach for explanations other than magic, but they'll still notice the unusual events.

Manual // Character Stats // Dominant and Submissive Energy

In a different world, you'd have mana and hit points. 

And they'd refill just from you sitting on your ass doing nothing.

Lol.

What.

The.

Hell.

Is he in a fantasy game of some sorts? A wizard game? A sex wizard game? He's about to protest but he rereads then frowns thoughtfully. "Can I get an explanation? Of literally any kind more detailed than this?"

A sentence appears at the bottom. 

Magic does not live in the unwilling soul.

"You're literally offering me magic, trust me I'm not unwilling, I just—well, guess I'm adding stat points, aren't I?"

Permalink Mark Unread

The purple text does not change.

Permalink Mark Unread

Well... He doesn't like ugly numbers. He'll add two points to ART and then... three to LUV. He doesn't know what build he's going for, yet, but the first level's points shouldn't be that important, not if he's getting five points every level, right? Unless leveling up is super hard. It probably isn't, though.

Permalink Mark Unread

Nothing happens. 

If he had wanted proof of the Erogame's powers, he probably should have raised BOD. Or SED. Something easily checkable. 

He may feel a slightly insistent warmth around his genitals. If there happens to be a mirror nearby, when he glances in it he'll notice that he's attractive.

Permalink Mark Unread

Oliver waits a bit longer for—something, anything. But no, all he is is horny.

Well. He knows how to take care of that. He rolls back away from his desk then towards his bathroom, and happens to glance at a mirror, and—

—well.

Well.

The game seems to have made him bisexual. Either that or he became much prettier but he never did find men attractive in anything other than a vaguely abstract way. So maybe he should find some different porn than he usually goes for. He's already getting hard just from the thought of it—is that the LUV stat? A bit misnamed, if so. But he doesn't mind the effects. He's rubbing himself through his pants before he's closed and locked the door, but after he does he unzips and takes his cock out and—yep. Bisexual. That's a nice cock he has, there, its tip glistening with precum—he wonders what it tastes like, he never wondered before—he's not flexible enough to suck himself but that's suddenly a very appealing thought.

He grabs his phone and starts browsing—how does one look for gay porn? Maybe some major porn site has a gay porn section—aha, yes it does. He licks his lips, browsing for videos with his right hand while using his left hand to lightly stroke himself. He glances at the mirror again, and bites his lower lip at the sight—the game's right, he is rather cute, isn't he? Holding his dick, looking vaguely flushed with arousal, feeling vaguely naughty for feeling attracted to himself. Maybe twincest porn would be hot? He's not sure, perhaps he should start with something tamer. He glances down at his phone again and finds something cute with mild plot, two cute boys play fighting then jerking each other off...

He thinks he can spend some time here.

Permalink Mark Unread

He may notice that he is much better at jerking off than he used to be. Almost as if an omnipotent being has granted him powers which, among other things, include an instinctive knowledge of how to touch cocks.

Permalink Mark Unread

Is that ART? That's probably ART. This video is making him want to stick something into his ass, which is a first for him, at least in anything other than a clinical, scientific way. But it sounds unhygienic and also he cannot actually move his legs to do it, so, he'll just keep jerking.

He gets closer to his climax, and makes a conscious effort to pay attention to how it feels—not as someone being masturbated, but as someone masturbating. He feels the skin of his dick in his hand and looks down at the bulging shaft filling his hand. He stops jerking to take a good look at it, from various angles, rubbing himself lightly with his fingers. He pulls on his skin, pulling the foreskin all the way back, and feels a shiver go down his spine and stomach—

—he quickly fetches some toilet paper and comes into it, groaning slightly, his phone forgotten on the bathroom counter playing the porn video to no one.

Holy crap that was the best orgasm of his life.

"...am I gonna have to go out and have sex? Of course I am. Why am I in a sex wizard game. Whatever, I hope I have better spells later." He would bounce if he could, but he, ah, cannot.

He stops rolling and stares at it. "Are you fucking with me? You're not. You're being serious. Right? You're being serious?—you're probably not a person. Probably. Who knows what you are." He gingerly taps the 'Y' again.

Permalink Mark Unread

The purple text disappears. It does not appear inclined to comment on how serious it is. It also does not appear inclined to give Oliver a new quest unless he goes out there and gets it himself.

Permalink Mark Unread

Yeah, that's fine. Alright.—oh, wait, he forgot his phone in the bathroom.

...and now he's acutely aware of how annoying it is to be wheelchair-bound. He was having a good day, he had barely thought of it at all. He's not likely to complain at the game about it, though, it reminded him by telling him he can be cured. With magic. He doesn't have the first clue how he'll do this but he bets sex is going to be involved.

Sigh. Roll roll roll to phone, roll roll roll to wallet, roll roll out, lock the door, call the elevator.

Permalink Mark Unread

The elevator has a woman in it who is unusually scantily clad for Oliver's apartment building. 

Permalink Mark Unread

He blinks. "Good afternoon," he says, smiling up at her and rolling into the elevator. "Pardon me for the inconvenience."

She freezes up. "I'm... not supposed to be talking to anyone. He'll get mad."

Permalink Mark Unread

Another blink, this one confused. "Who'll get mad? And why?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"I probably shouldn't tell you that either." She has bruises. They're not very well-hidden by her dress. They don't look like they're in the sort of place sexy bruises would be. She is also, upon closer examination, wearing a rather excessive amount of eye makeup.

When you call an Uber, Lyft, taxi, or other driving service, a wheelchair-accessible car will always be within five minutes of your location. The driver will pick you up at your exact location and drop you off exactly where you want to go. The car will play the music you most feel like listening to. While the driver will default to not talking, he, she, and/or they will be attractive, interested in you, and up for road head.
Permalink Mark Unread

...that's awesome and a bit worrying about the fabric of the universe but still awesome. He waits for his Uber.

Permalink Mark Unread

His Uber arrives promptly! The driver is, mm, quite attractive, if Oliver would like to take his newfound bisexuality out for a spin.

Permalink Mark Unread

...he might. He's finding himself horny again. "Afternoon," he says, trying to be plausibly-deniably-unsubtle about checking the driver out. That's how you flirt, right?

Permalink Mark Unread

"Afternoon,"  the driver says. "You, uh, look nice." He blushes.

Permalink Mark Unread

...well that's kind of adorable. "Thank you! You don't look half-bad yourself." This is definitely flirting, he's sure of it.

Permalink Mark Unread

The man blushes harder. "Thank you. I... I don't normally do this sort of thing."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Driving an Uber?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Uh. Hitting on cute boys while driving an Uber?" The shade of red his cheeks are is truly astonishing.

Permalink Mark Unread

"Oh, were you hitting on me? I think I didn't notice." Yep, that's a boner that's pressing against the fabric of his pants again. He just came but you know what, he's fine with this. "Maybe I could return the favor. Better yet, I could do more than flirting."

Permalink Mark Unread

Blush blush blush blush blush. "Now that I definitely haven't done before."

Permalink Mark Unread

"I notice that's not a no..." he says, and slides his left hand to the driver's thigh, slowly rubbing it up and down.

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver's hands clutch the wheel, white-knuckled. He is breathing heavily.

Your SED goes up by 1 for seducing a very easy person you were magically informed was into you!
Permalink Mark Unread

Hey, he'll take it, free magic.

With his right hand he starts rubbing himself over his jeans, and meanwhile his left hand trails its way up the driver's leg and towards his crotch...

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver takes one hand off the wheel and unbuttons his jeans. In a few not-very-graceful movements, he manages to get his underwear and jeans around his knees. His dick is distinctly average in length and girth, but is a lovely pinkish color, and juts out between his legs with the hardness of a man who's having a favorite fantasy suddenly and unexpectedly fulfilled.

Which is exactly what is happening.  

Permalink Mark Unread

Oliver, not having access to the narration, does not know he's fulfilling a fantasy. He is merely wrapping his hand around some guy's cock and lightly stroking him, running his thumb around the tip, and definitely looking at the driver while making... faces.

Gods above he's in a porno.

He unzips himself but doesn't unbutton, and just takes his cock out again and starts jerking himself in sync with the driver.

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver says various things along the lines of "uuuugh so-- so hot beautiful aaaaaa unf please yes please gaaaaaah fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuck." It would be a bit concerning to have this person driving a two tons of metal going at sixty miles an hour and full of explosives, but fortunately the Erogame takes care of such things. 

If the driver were in his right mind, he would definitely help jerk off Oliver. However, he is not in his right mind-- see above regarding "favorite fantasy"-- and the portions of his brain that are not currently mush are desperately concentrating on not crashing into anything.

So he just enjoys the waves of pleasure coming from his crotch and occasionally sneaks glances at the beautiful, beautiful man with a heart-stopping smile who is in his car and touching his dick and making faces. So many faces. Oh god faces.

Across the city, the fifty people whose fantasies this would most fulfill have a sudden impulse to do something good for the world by buying a wheelchair-accessible car and signing up to work for assorted rideshare and taxi services.

Permalink Mark Unread

Oliver is also certainly unaware of such sudden impulses but he would not complain about them.

Now, he's masturbated people many times in his life. Most of the times those people were him, but the point is that he's used to holding a dick. You know what would be novel, though? Tasting one. He lets go of the driver's dick to readjust himself, then flashes him a mischievous smile before leaning down to the side and taking it all into his mouth...

Permalink Mark Unread

The Erogame is being so helpful! It is improving disability access for everyone!

The driver makes a sound like "uuuurp," lets go of the wheel, panics, and grabs the wheel again. His balls are drawn up tight and close to his dick, and it is very possible that Oliver's first blowjob will end tragically quickly with an orgasm.

It's okay. Probably once he's come the driver will be able to concentrate to help Oliver out.

Permalink Mark Unread

He doesn't mind at all. He does pull away to say, "You should probably not hold onto the wheel too tightly when you come down my throat," and back to sucking.

...man, being a slut is fun. He should do that more.

Permalink Mark Unread

In response to that sentence, the driver makes a sound it is impossible to represent with the English alphabet. Maybe IPA?

His toes literally curl, he begins to pant, and after two or three more sucks he is, as promised, coming down Oliver's throat with a gentle sigh.

Permalink Mark Unread

Oliver has the Wizard's Body. No diseases for him, so he can just slurp it up. It's... an interesting sensation. Not unpleasant at all.

(Being bi is also pretty fucking great.)

Permalink Mark Unread

"Uh. Thank you." The driver is torn between social anxiety and the objective ludicrousness of being socially anxious around a person whose throat you just came down.

(Not that Oliver knows this, but the distinctly coconut-y taste of the driver's come is not in fact what come usually tastes like.)

He reaches over with one hand and starts to jerk Oliver off, glancing at him occasionally while mostly keeping his eyes on the road.

This guy is adorable. How on Earth did Oliver ever fail to notice that guys can be adorable?

"If I'm about to come I'm going to tell you. Don't wanna get all messy here."

Permalink Mark Unread

Wow, what a bizarre coincidence, there's an empty parking spot he can pull over into right here.

He swallows Oliver's cock into his throat like a starving man who has just encountered a Thanksgiving meal.

Permalink Mark Unread

Oh. Okay, then, thank you wizard sex game. He closes his eyes and grabs the driver by the hair—gently, Oliver doesn't know if he's into that—and bites his lip, breathing heavily. He's slightly above average in size, but only slightly, so driver should probably have no problems there.

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver chokes on Oliver's cock, pulls off briefly, then goes at it with a renewed determination. 

He makes a little fluttery moan when Oliver's hands touch his hair. 

Permalink Mark Unread

That's promising. Maybe Oliver can grab a bit harder, and start leading him?

Permalink Mark Unread

He can totally do that! The driver will make louder moans! He will also choke slightly more often, but that does not dampen his enthusiasm. 

Permalink Mark Unread

Oliver is a fast learner, he can figure out what the best rhythm for his toy driver is.

And for himself. He starts getting closer and closer, wills his left hand not to flap—flapping is not hot—and his breaths get shallower and more ragged. "Ah—aah—aah I'm going to come soon—"

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver continues to suck, maintaining a smooth and easy rhythm. 

Permalink Mark Unread

Then Oliver is going to come into his mouth, too. Presumably he doesn't taste like coconut to other people, but maybe he can turn other people into wizards later and then he will. In the meantime, though, he shoots load after load into the driver's mouth (not too much, though, he already came today), releasing a shaky breath and grinning widely down at him. He decides he wants to pet him.

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver purrs when he's petted.

Permalink Mark Unread

"God, you're adorable," Oliver giggles. "I kinda wanna kiss you now."

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver kisses him! Kisses all around! 

He does not taste of coconut.

Permalink Mark Unread

Well, he has ever tried his own cum, out of scientific curiosity, so he's not surprised by the taste.

...it's actually kinda hot, really. He gets really into the kiss, and even though he literally just came kissing the mouth that just swallowed his cum is, well. An interesting experience.

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver is also enthusiastic!

After some time, he pulls away and says "uh, I think I should get you to your destination, shouldn't I?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Mmm, I think you should, yes."

Permalink Mark Unread

The driver keeps glancing at him and smiling shyly on the ride over.

Clash of Champions? Seriously? Well, can't argue with taste.

The receptionist looks less bored and more slightly terrified.

"I'll need to see an ID and then I can take you to meet the girls," she says. "A private session is two hundred dollars an hour, paid in advance. We double as an escort agency if you'd like to schedule an outcall."

Permalink Mark Unread

Oh no, darling, don't be terrified. He needs to burn this place to the ground. Maybe he'll get fireball sometime?

He shows her ID.

Permalink Mark Unread

She checks it in a cursory fashion that would totally fail to detect a remotely competent fake ID.

She brings him into a waiting room that is trying to look grand but winds up at seedy. The masseuses are lounging around trying to look sexy, but the general aura of fear that hangs over the room rather spoils the effect. All of the masseuses have bruises, and most are wearing far too much foundation and eye makeup.

Permalink Mark Unread

Good Lord, does this guy get literally any money?

...is that girl from earlier anywhere here?

Permalink Mark Unread

It turns out that terrified and unable to say no is a depressingly popular sexual interest.

The girl from earlier is lying on a couch in the corner, not even trying to be sexy. She seems to have just come back from an outcall.

Permalink Mark Unread

"Her," he says, pointing.

Permalink Mark Unread

A flash of tiredness and dread crosses her face, smoothly replaced with a smile.

"Please pay in advance, sir," the receptionist says, "and I'll take you to your room."

Permalink Mark Unread

He is more than happy to pay in advance.

Room?

Permalink Mark Unread

The room is clean but sparsely decorated. The walls are hospital off-white. The bed dominates the room, the sheets threadbare from frequent washing. 

The receptionist leaves. The girl begins mechanically to disrobe.

He looks around for a writing apparatus and paper or something, and tries to see whether there are detectable cameras anywhere.

Permalink Mark Unread

There's a security camera in the corner, but no paper unless he brought it.

"Bullshit, they wouldn't offer outcalls if they were that worried about security."

The girl has a pained expression. "Excuse me." She leaves and returns. "The camera is off now, sir." The camera's blinking light has been turned off.

Permalink Mark Unread

"For some reason I think I don't believe that. How much more for an outcall?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Outcall is $50 extra, sir."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Then I would like that, please."

Permalink Mark Unread

She asks for his address, notes it down, and then leaves.

If Oliver calls another Uber he can make some progress on Sex Drive and earn a second nectar. 

Permalink Mark Unread

...he's kinda not in the mood, actually. He'll call an Uber but not respond to advances.

Permalink Mark Unread

That is reasonable. 

The driver totally ignores him!

Permalink Mark Unread

Good! So he gets back home, then, and waits.

Permalink Mark Unread

The woman appears and once again begins to disrobe.

Permalink Mark Unread

"Do it in the bathroom, please. Take off all your clothes and jewelry, then walk to my room."

Permalink Mark Unread

A few minutes later, the woman appears naked and jewelry-free in his room. 

Permalink Mark Unread

He rolls over to the bathroom, closes its door, then rolls over to his room, closes its door, then grabs a piece of paper and writes: "Do you have any bugs or other form of surveillance on you?"

Permalink Mark Unread

She takes a piece of paper and writes "No."

Permalink Mark Unread

He breathes out then grabs his bedsheet and throws it towards her, then covers his face with both hands. "You can cover yourself, if you like. Jesus fuck that place is horrible. You can sit, if you like. Or, not, up to you. God fucking damnit."

Permalink Mark Unread

She remains standing and naked. "Can we skip this part?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"I'm not roleplaying, I just—I'm sorry. I don't wanna have sex with you," no matter how hot and pretty she is, he's getting a boner that he does not want, "I want to burn that place to the ground."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Look, I know you're one of his spies and you're here to test my loyalty. I'm not going to try to escape. He has my papers. You can tell Coil that and skip all this acting, it's humiliating."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Oh my God of course that fucker has spies—how do I—look, I'm not a spy, I'm a cripple who saw you in the lift earlier today and found out about that horrid place and—how do I even prove that to you," he says, running his hand through his hair. He looks down and mutters to himself, hoping it's too low for her to hear: "Maybe I have a spell that'll help, manual, spells?"

Oh right that nectar spell he'd forgotten. But this new one looks useful.

Manual // Spells // Just Follow the Fucking Rabbit

Just Follow the Fucking Rabbit: Lvl 1. Active. DOM / Special.

Convince one other person of one very implausible fact which happens to be true. This spell cannot cause someone to act contrary to their interests or desires, but it can convince them that the event is not hallucinatory, that the police will listen to them, or that it's fine not to use protection this time. Costs DOM equal to twice the WIZ corresponding to the minimum improbability threshold for the event, divided by the Lvl of the skill.

Dressing as a sexy bunny reduces the cost of this skill by 50%.
Amanda is looking at him like he's a crazy person.
Permalink Mark Unread

...he hopes he has enough DOM. He must have, right, from that thing in the car?

"Okay, just follow the fucking rabbit for a moment, here. I'm not working for Coil."

Permalink Mark Unread

"You're right, it would be very weird for him to hire a disabled person." She looks at him with renewed hope. "Do you mean... you can help me escape?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"You can bet your fucking ass I can. ...now that you believe me, do you wanna sit, cover yourself, do you want some water?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Yes, yes, and yes."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Okay, I'll be right back.—do your clothes have wires or anything like that? Otherwise you can just fetch them back."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Probably not? I don't actually know, they say sometimes he borrows equipment from the police... can I borrow some clothes from you just to be on the safe side?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Yeah, sure, raid my closet." He rolls to the kitchen then back with a glass of water.

Permalink Mark Unread

She looks really cute wearing his shirt! It's much too big for her!

Permalink Mark Unread

...do not get attracted to her, that would be wrong.

He offers her the water. "I want to end that place. I have no idea how to do it but I can do impossible things. I need to know more about it, though. Oh and I also know for a fact that he has some police connections."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Yeah, I know, I had to give the cops free blowjobs." She accepts the water gratefully. "We're all immigrants. Some of us are here illegally, and he steals the papers of the other ones, so if we try to run the police will find us and deport us."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Good God, what a fucking creep."

Permalink Mark Unread

"He's so awful." She sips the water. "I think if you can swing killing him you should."

Permalink Mark Unread

"I don't know if that'd work, though, not if he has the police in his pocket. Like, if he dies, then what do I do with the papers? How do I make sure you and everyone else isn't gonna get deported or worse?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"For people like me, who are here legally, you could just steal the papers back. For the others... I don't know. If you make it chaotic enough, maybe they can escape?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"There's an idea. What more can you tell me about how he runs everything?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"I don't know what you mean."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Like... The spy thing, that was useful to know. How many people work for him? How many of you are there? How tight is security, how often does he visit, where does he live and work..."

Permalink Mark Unread

"I don't know most of that, he likes keeping things secret... there's about two dozen of us. Coil's around a lot, he doesn't trust anyone else to keep a firm hand on us. I think the spies are mostly just people he gives money to so they can test us. Caleb's the only real security employee and I don't think he's a bad person, he's just really oblivious."

Permalink Mark Unread

"...hm. How oblivious? What do you think he'd do if he knew?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"I'm not actually sure that he knows that he's not security for a normal massage parlor? I have no idea what he'd do, actually, he's a nice enough guy but he doesn't care about anything except stupid phone games."

Permalink Mark Unread

Sigh. "D'you know where he keeps the documents?"

Permalink Mark Unread

She sketches on her piece of paper. Office here, hallway here, various bedrooms here, here, and here. "I don't know what this room is," she says, "we're not allowed in."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Innnnteresting. Who watches the surveillance cameras?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"He has a security guard. He isn't allowed to talk to us, though."

Permalink Mark Unread

"So Caleb isn't the only one responsible for all security there."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Oh, yeah, I guess I didn't think of the other guard. We don't exactly see him much."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Does he go into that room when he does show up? Or are the videos watched from elsewhere?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"He goes into the room."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Alright. I think I have an idea. Do you know whether he sells girls?"
