[Canon is Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh]

[trevorbarnes]

I don't know what you're thinking, man. Or mun? Is that what they call you?

Whatever, mun. Why am I even here?

Comments

[heosphoros]

My guess would be that you are here because your mun likes you.

[trevorbarnes]

They liked me before but just because they watched some videos on a whim I find myself in the middle of.... what is this place anyway?

[heosphoros]

Whims are usually what controls these decisions.

You are in a place where your story can continue, and have rather a less unfortunate end at that.

[trevorbarnes]

You sound like you know something about my unfortunate end.

Or unfortunate ends in general.

[heosphoros]

Yes.

[ Being annoyingly ambiguous just because he can? Yep. But at least he's got a charming smile? ]

[trevorbarnes]

How?

[heosphoros]

I have friends in high places. And low.

Also in this particular area I think you'll find that people in general know all sorts of things they shouldn't. It's not quite the same elsewhere.

[trevorbarnes]

I feel my mun isn't telling me everything.

[heosphoros]

I find that very likely. They tend to relish in our confusion.

[trevorbarnes]

Yeah? Yours does that?

[heosphoros]

Well, this is actually my first visit to this particular place and in general she tends to keep me rather well informed, but I've seen her do it to others.

[trevorbarnes]

This is something about games, right?

[heosphoros]

Everything's a game.

[trevorbarnes]

Yeah. Life, the universe and everything...

But seems there has to be applications for this kind of game.

[heosphoros]

Think of it as... a really unpleasant kind of V.I.P area.

[trevorbarnes]

But good times when you get through the door?

[heosphoros]

If you're lucky.

[trevorbarnes]

Sometimes I am.

[heosphoros]

It's all about connections, knowing the right people. And not having a too sadistic mun.

[trevorbarnes]

DO you know the right people yourself?

[heosphoros]

I am the right people.

[ No. No he's not. ]

[trevorbarnes]

You sure do look like it.

So where are you? One of those games?

[heosphoros]

Flatterer.

I am wherever you want me to be, dear. But no, I haven't been sent to a game by my mun.

[trevorbarnes]

Oh, don't tempt me by asking you back to my place...

[heosphoros]

Oh, but I do love temptation so.

[trevorbarnes]

This is not the place I expected to be picked up at.

[heosphoros]

I'm not the kind of guy who lets opportunities pass me by.

[trevorbarnes]

Sounds like a good way to be.

[heosphoros]

Oh no sweetheart, I'm all bad.

[ Or so the good book says. ]

[trevorbarnes]

Now there's bad and there's bad...

[heosphoros]

And you think I am...?

[trevorbarnes]

Well, your looks certainly aren't bad. To be perfectly honest.

[heosphoros]

Well, maybe I told a teeny tiny lie.

[trevorbarnes]

Not all bad then.

[heosphoros]

There are at least things I'm good at.

[trevorbarnes]

I'd like to hear more about those.

[heosphoros]

Persuasion, seduction, corruption...

[trevorbarnes]

Corruption?
