A telegram at 3 AM.
The unthinkable had happened. The mayor had been found dead in his office. Heart attack.
Something about it bothered the police, making them suspect foul play. Mayor Carmine D'Amici was a deeply religious man who was the staunchest supporter of prohibition in the state //and// was extremely vocal about his dislike of pansies. He called them "corrupt" "immoral" and "really terrible dressers".
He spent an absurd amount of time trying to urge sailors to not get blown by other fellas down by the docks. Of course he wouldn't use those words. No sir. He was a god fearing man, so he just sort of quoted bible verses and expected people to realize what he's talking about. Good thing this isn't an election year...
Unfortunately for Mayor D'Amici, a pair of lips on your dick after a night on the town was the exact kinda pick-me-up a rough sea dog would be lookin for, so THAT fell on deaf ears. The fear of hell just can't compare to a good orgasm, ha!
But this is where the story got //very// interesting...
This paragon of virtue, this staunch moral crusader, was found dead in his office with his pants down, surrounded by bottles of booze and photographs of nude men.
Apparently the stiff's goofy face was a hell of a sight to behold.
[[>>>>>|Opening 2]]Fearing a scandal the police department decided to cover up the death, at least for the time being. With all the fear of pansies D'Amici infused into the populace, alongside the recent disappearances and weird flowers that had been popping up lately, the revelation that he himself was "one of those" would probably start a riot...
Calloway isn't the biggest city, but it ain't the smallest either. Shit like that could easily make national headlines, and the last thing city officials want is for the place to be considered the pansy capital of the U.S.A.
So, with no other choice, they came to me. Hank McGuinness, Ace P.I.
Or so I get called. Heh.
To be honest, this looks like an open and shut case. The moron couldn't resist his urges any longer and indulged all of em at once, then //BLAM!// the guy croaks.
Easy money. I'll just drop by the cops to humor em...
...After a few more hours of shuteye...

The smoke smells vaguely like cherries...and musk. It's entirely too strong and overwhelming but somehow still inviting. Considering how thick the butt is, a full cigar of this kind has to be very impressive.
Printed near the bottom of the cigar are the words "Break My Chains"...
[[Inhale Deeply|Butt Sniff]]
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]The bottle has a worn purple label with an elaborate skull made of flowery criss-crossing symbols on it. Beneath the skull are the words "Saturday's Brew". The drink must be extremely potent, because you can smell the alcohol without holding it anywhere near your face.
It probably has some other smell...but the alcohol is extremely overpowering so it's basically undetectable. Any man who regularly drinks this either has a stomach of steel, or no taste buds.
[[Take a Sip|Hooch Sip]]
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]This is a photograph of a heavyset man with dark skin relaxing and striking a little pose. It's kinda adorable...and also really hot. The text beneath the picture says "I wish we coulda had more time together, but even though I'm in Memphis, I'll always feel like you're by my side. PS Say hi to Laverne for me!"
Was this message meant for D'Amici? If not, how did he get the photo? Even more strange, if it was for him, how did he land a hunk of a man like this?
[["Study" the Photo Closer|Photo Study]]
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]I took a long whiff of what was left of the cigar.
Hot damn!
<<set $Drunkenness to $Drunkenness + 5>>
<<set $Horniness to $Horniness + 5>>
Immediately I felt lightheaded... a sense of contentment washed over me.
<<set $Corruption to $Corruption + 1>>
Hoo boy...
That sweet smoke did quite a number on me, it was like I was drunk...but really horny too at the same time. Some indescribable combination of the two that just felt...dirty.
What the hell is in this thing? Where did D'Amici get it?
If this is how I feel from just inhaling some of the sweet smoke...what would happen if I actually puffed on one?!
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]I took a sip of the brew.
<<set $Drunkenness to $Drunkenness + 5>>
//*cough*// //*hack*// //*sputter*//
People drink this? On purpose?! It tasted like black coffee and roasted peanuts and kind of terrible. I have massive respect for anyone who has this as their drink of choice, they gotta be some kind of god.
Whew...
The drink made me a little woozy. From just a sip! I don't really remember being such a lightweight, so this booze has to be like...1000 proof or somethin.
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]Hoo baby!
<<set $Horniness to $Horniness + 5>>
I got hot and bothered pretty dang quick! Wish I could meet this fella.
I..I mean...I'm not a pansy...but I can appreciate the artistic value of the photograph.
Yeah. That's what I meant.

St. James Infirmary isn't as bad as the tales make it out to be, but with the cracked windows, tired employees, and depressed atmosphere, it ain't good either.
I have no idea how this place manages to be so run down, as far as I know, there's no other hospital in Calloway...Which is a huge shame because everyone avoids this place like the plague unless they absolutely need it.
That might be the reason they don't have the funds to fix everything.
Unless the government funds this place.
Where //do// hospitals get their money?
Back to the topic at hand, if people are so scared to come here they avoid even getting treatment, why was the mayor visiting this nightmare of a hospital?
[[>>>>>|Hospital]]
Laverne's shop always felt like home to me. She designed the place to look very cosy, wood paneling everywhere, pictures of her family on the walls, and jazz music coming from a top of the line radio filled the air. The atmosphere was warm, and you could always hear the sound of folks chuckling over the stories told while customers got their hair styled.
A lot of powerful men spilled the beans when they thought noone important was listening.
<<set $BarbFirst to 1>>
She's been a //very// helpful informant to me over the last few years.
Today was just like any other, with Laverne's employees cutting the hair of some of the richest men in the city, and her sitting at her desk, looking over the books.
I wonder if seeing her ol pal Hank will brighten up her day?
...or at least get a little groan and an eyeroll out of her, heheh.

<</if>>Laverne pulled me towards a couch in the back of the building. Having my will broken, I was in no shape to put up any protest.
She may not have known it, but she might have saved my life there. If I'd run into anyone who was a part of that...thing.
It would have been over for sure...
<<set Hypnosis to 0>>
I laid there on that couch for what felt like hours, trying to work up the strength to do anything.
Getting mentally dominated is pretty easy it turns out, but undoing those brain knots is probably the hardest thing I've been through.
Eventually I moved my hand...and then my arm. Before long, my body was my own again, instead of being their plaything.
Just an empty-headed plaything...
No thinking, just listening...

"I'll let you go see one of our patients... if you help Alex and Thurston with their break problem," he said to me as we reached the end of hall.
"You want me to help them with their car?" I asked him puzzled. I didn't know a thing about em, I used my feet to get where I needed to go.
He opened the door, giving me a full view of two huge men stroking their cocks to a pile of lewd pictures on a small wooden table.
"No, they're //on// their break."
Well, that clears things up.
"How good you think he is at sucking cock, Thurston?" A chubby dark skinned man with his hair in a buzz cut asked his partner, not slowing his strokes down one bit. By process of elimination, this joe was Alex. He had a voice that was equal parts whimsical and powerful, a higher register, but with force behind it.

He had tanned skin and hair all over his body, well, the parts I could see at least, though I suppose they ran out of hair when they got to his head, since he was completely bald. His voice was baritone, and had an accent that I couldn't really match and seemed to change a little with every word, the kind you get from moving all over the country as a kid.
"Make them happy, and I'll let you run around this place all you want," the receptionist smirked. "Oh, and don't worry about me," he added with a grin. "I just like to watch."
Oh boy. The things I do for the case.
The duo walked towards me, their cocks bobbing lightly with each step, but their orderly uniforms kept them mostly in place. I got on my knees and hoped I had enough time to grab some listerine after I was done with this case.
"Open up, big guy," Thurston giggled rubbing the head of his dick against my mouth, pressing lightly. I swallowed my pride and took the tip of the organ into my mouth, gently running my tongue over it.
"Thats...thats all he needs, right?" I thought to myself. "I'm not a pansy so I don't know how to do this..."
Alex pushed my head until I could feel the cock touching the back of my throat. A very large grin spread on his face. "Doesn't it feel nice to get some help?"
"Glrk!" I responded. Not much else I could say honestly. I pulled my head back to breath, and after I inhaled deeply through my nose he pushed my head back down.
"He won't stop til you learn to do it yourself," Thurston said to me in a condescending tone. I slowly pulled my head off of his dick...and slowly pushed myself back down. Alex took his hand off of the back of my head.
"You're a fast learner," he chuckled before giving my ass a playful swat. This was pretty much nothing but a game to them. Meanwhile for me it was a lesson on how to hold your breath.
"I wonder if both our dicks can fit in his mouth..." Thurston thought out loud.
"I //don't//," I thought to myself. I was having trouble handling just the one!
Alex stuck his dick in right next to his buddy's I couldn't take either of them in all the way, but I guess that didn't matter anymore.
"How long you got left?" Alex asked his partner.
"I dunno, I'm pretty damn close."
"Well give me some time to catch up, I want us fulling his mouth up at the same time."
"So stroke yer cock faster then!"
These two were going at it while they were fucking my mouth. What a day.
Alex started jerking his cock at an extremely fast rate, to the point that his hand started bopping my face with each stroke.
The choking may have been tough, but this was just annoying. The duo was panting hard and sweating up a storm. They were both getting close.
"Hey," Thurston snapped at me. "I want you to look at us with those sparkling green eyes when we cum."
I looked up at them, feeling embarrassment take over.
"That's it..." he added, rubbing my hair. That didn't help with the embarrassment.
Alex actually came first, thrusting his cock into my throat, almost bumping Thurston out. His cum oozed out of his cock...it was more than I could handle.
<<set $Horniness to $Horniness + 5>>
Of course, that wasnt the end of it. Just as soon as Alex had finished his gasps, the other orderly thrusted his hips, eager to replace his buddy. He shot powerful jets that I could feel hitting the back of my throat.
Yeah...definitely buying that listerine at the end of the day.
With both cocks pulled free I fell back on my ass panting, desperate for air.
How do pansies do this? This is some hard fuckin' work!
The receptionist tapped me on the shoulder. "The guy you're looking for is in room 104. Oh, and you might wanna do something about //that//," he said pointing toward an obvious erection in my pants.
It's like sports. Where you get one because of the...sports.
You know what I mean.

There are several customers sitting at the tables.
Which one do you wanna talk to?
[[The Man in the Robe|Robe Man]]
[[The Man With Blue Hair|Drinker]]
[[The Very Drunk Man|Drunk Man]]
[[Noone|RidersBar]]<<if $AlleySex is 0>>
As I opened the door into the alley, I saw a robed fella leading a man by the hand down to one end with the most assure stride I'd ever seen, and the leadee barely keeping on his feet. The robe was an uncomfortably bright shade of yellow, with countless pieces of jewelery adorning the cloth.
A bit gaudy. Okay, more than a bit gaudy.
As for Stumbles next to him, he was a chubby fella with a small mustache and brown messy hair, wearing tan overalls and a slightly stained white tank top.
The fella was very very drunk. And judging by his the tent in his pants, very horny.
I thought to myself...
(Should I follow them?)
<<set $AlleySex to 1>>
[[Yeah, I Wanna See How this Plays Out|AlleySex]]
[[Nah, Not Into Alley Shenanigans|RidersBar]]
<<else>>
Hmm...looks like noone is in the alley anymore...
[[Oh Well|RidersBar]]
<</if>>I peered down the end of the alley they walked through. I couldn't see anything, which made me nervous. There had been plenty of disappearances in this city, and I did not want to be partially responsible for another one.
<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "sexy" loop play>>
I slowly made my way along the buildings, hoping I would find him...and not face down dead.
It only takes seeing that once to make you spooked about seeing it again.
As I turned the corner I started hearing some grunts and moans.
Well thank god, he's not dead //yet// at least.
I rushed to where the sounds were coming from...
...and arrived just in time to see the guy getting his ass plowed by a large muscular man in nothing a yellow mask.
//oh.//
"H-harder! //*hic!*//" the chubby guy gleefully yelled to his partner, who obliged by railing his fat ass with even more force.
My heart was pounding in my ears. I dunno what was louder though, the sound of that, or the slaps, grunts, and groans of the two of them fucking.
I found myself absentmindedly fondling my crotch, which didn't take the masked fella too long to notice.
"You know...he'll suck your dick for ya. Won'tcha piggy?" the masked man snickered. As if to prove his point, the drunk bottom opened his mouth wide and stuck his tongue out.
//hoo boy...//
"I don't... I mean...I'm not..." I stammered.
"I don't care if you're a pansy or not, you wanna get your rocks off? This slut here will help you out," he said with a sternness in his voice that almost compelled you to listen to him. "And you're a good slut, arencha?"
"Yep! I'm a good slut! //*hic!*//
My cock was hardening in my pants, and I was running out of reasons to not do this.
"I...I...I..." I kept stammering.
"Here...allow //*hic!*// ...allow //*hic!*// ...lemme help," the bottom said undoing my pants, and took my dick into his mouth with a loud //*slurp!*//.
He was good. He was real good.
"You done this before?" I asked my partner as his head bobbed up and down and he looked at me with those sparkling blue eyes. It felt like a stupid question, but I was curious.
"Nuh uh, frrst tmmm," he said without taking my cock out of his mouth.
This guy was a natural, lemme tell ya.
"How? Why? Whoooo ooh oooooooh!" I tried asking.
"He always wanted to do this but was too scared to try. I helped him with that," the masked man snickered, punctuating his statement with an especially deep and powerful thrust, causing the drunk guy to moan around my dick.
Felt pretty damn good!
"You gonna cum, big guy?" The top asked me. I could only nod in response. "Well let loose then, he won't mind, will you piggy?"
"Uhhn uhhh!" "Piggy" said with a slurp.
<<set $Corruption to $Corruption + 4>>
Don't gotta tell me twice! With a loud grunt I shoved my cock full force into his mouth, letting myself enjoy the orgasm. As soon as it was over I fell flat on my ass, the exhaustion finally hitting me.
I closed my eyes...and then a moment later...I opened them up and the duo was gone...
Where'd they go? Where'd the robed guy go?!

[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A beer mug filled with water. Admittedly this is a particularly common way of using beer mugs. The light refracts through the water in the glass, making a very pretty sight to behold. It is however, just a glass of water.
You could add something to it though...
[[Add some Booze|Booze Add]]
[[Dip the Cigar in|Cigar Add]]
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A beer mug filled with some green extremely watered down booze. Despite being about 99% water, the smell of alcohol is still extremely overwhelming.
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A glass beer mug filled with some sort of pink swirling fluid made from combining water with a strange cigar.
Just looking at it makes your brain feel fuzzy.
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A record labeled "Jimmy Patoot's Greatest Jazz Hit". The entire record is just used to play a single song.
That's...unusual.
Better be one hell of a song.
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A record labeled "The Sound of Ivory Keys". It has nothing but those words and a music note on it.
Kiiiinda underwhelming...
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A record labeled "Men in the Primal State". It has a heart on it.

[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A broken record with a yellow star in the center. The words say "The King in the Yellow Jockstrap".

[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A donut that appears to have been dipped partially into frosting.
//Someone// is bound to love this extremely sweet treat, but it would just make your teeth itch like crazy and send you into a sugar rush.

[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]The flower given by the speaker has grown into a bud. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]The sprout that recieved from the speaker. It's grown into a huge pink flower.

That's kind of a shame. It always feels bad when plants die, even if this kind of flower was responsible for the corruption of a lot of men...
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A small silver key with a squarish handle.
Wonder where this goes?
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]A strange symbol carved out of iron and fitted with three jewels. Some sort of red cloth has been tied to it, possibly so it can be used as a necklace.
There's no mincing words. This thing makes you extremely uncomfortable, and every fiber of your being is screaming at you to drop it.
...but you can't bring yourself to...
[[Go Back|Inventory Screen]]Just a few drops of that alcohol are poured into the water, and that seems to be more than enough, because the entire liquid starts to take on a green hue.
(not to mention that the smell of alcohol is extremely strong)

On the other side of the door was...
Was...
A guy with an eyepatch sitting in a bed.
A little underwhelming.
He looked up from the bed at me, and I saw disappointment spread on his face. It was very hard to resist the urge to apologize, even though the only thing I was guilty of was not being someone else.
I opened my mouth to speak, but all that came out was a tiny choked cough. My job is almost entirely talking to people...why was this so hard?
"Ah...hi," I finally managed to say. Not my best first impression admittedly.
The man looked up at me with equal parts confusion and disinterest. "Hi, can I help you with something?"
I cleared my throat and tried to sound as serious as I possibly could, maybe going just a little overboard. "I need to talk to you about mayor D'Amici, if that's okay."
His brow furrowed and he let out a sigh. "Are you with the papers?"
"No. I'm a detective."
"Did...did he do anything?"
"The mayor..." I swallowed hard. "D'Amici had a heart attack. I don't know your relation to him, but I'm sorry."

<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqvvxhjf3ahqhww/Clayton%20Neutral.png?dl=1">: You don't know the half of it. When I told the guys down at the bar about it it gave all of em the creeps! As if the weird pink flowers and guys going missing wasn't enough. I tell you, thinks have gotten pretty damn strange around here!

<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/p97gzcum0snjqvj/McGuinness%20Neutral.png?dl=1">: Sure. Weird robed guy is better than any other lead I've been given anyway. I tell you, I just started this case today and I already kinda feel a bit overwhelmed.

[[>>>>>|ClaytonTrans]]An overwhelming number of smells hit my nose before the door was even open all the way.
The smoke of cheap cigars. The stench of alcohol. The...is that a goat? My nose was probably scrambling some smells up. That's it.
C.C. Rider's Bar had very simple wooden decor. It was clear that this wasn't a high class establishment, but nonetheless it felt kinda...homey in a way. Stay here too long and you might not ever wanna leave. A few groups of men talked to each other, each with mugs of beer in various states of full. Of course, like with any bar, there was some loners. People who came here for personal reasons. Maybe they liked watching the people, maybe they came here to feel less lonely.
Or maybe they just wanted to get blotto. I'm not one to judge.
The place unsurprisingly didn't have many windows, so despite it being broad daylight, all of the bar's lamps were lit. Simple tall electric stand lamps.
This place was probably run by that one bartender, and he probably wasn't in the mood to replace expensive lamps broken by drunk guys.
Well...time to get to work. Clayton asked me to investigate this place...
[[>>>>>|RidersBar]]A bar huh... Maybe I could get a drink on the job...

Stuff like weird shifty dudes going into alleys, men disappearing, and spooky stuff like that. I think folks are just trying to get a rise out of people. You know how it is.

<<audio "title" loop play>>
oh let me tell you, a tale, about a man unleashed
I am, hearing, against the walls and the panic and the panel and the windowpane
As it stands this ghost doesn’t have much to gain
Is there a witch to blame
Send through the fire and the evil flame
To purify his puritanical game
This torturous tyrannical inner pain
He might be a devil in the sheets in his mind
But to me, he looks so plain

[[>>>>>|Drinking Contest Sex]]I opened the door to the bathroom.
<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "sexy" loop play>>
I dunno how he did it that quick, but Al made a LOT of friends in the bathroom. I guess I know where that football club Frank was talking about went.
"C'mon guys! There's plenty of room for all of you!" Al giggled with a dick in each hand and one in his ass. The rest were crowded around him jerking their cocks, forcing me to stand on the tips of my toes if I wanted a good look at the action.
And I definitely wanted a good look. To uh...make sure he was okay.
Al seemed intent on letting all of the guys take their turn. What a trooper!
"Ya know, I never thought Al would agree to this, I could maybe get a kiss from him once a month! Otherwise he was too scared of people seeing!" one of the guys chuckled.
Maybe that cigar has something in it that releases men from their inhibitions...
Where the hell did it come from? Did it turn men into pansies?
"You sure you wanna do a fourth at once?" one of the members of the football club asked astonished.
"Of course! I got a mouth don't I? Al giggled. He was a man who knew exactly what he want.
The fun quickly turned into a full blown orgy. Guys too impatient to get their turn with Al turned to eachother. Cocks went into hands and mouths, and just about everybody was having a good time.
"Is everything okay in there?" Frank's voice called from behind the bathroom door.
''SHIT''
"I uh...yeah there's a uhhh....pipe...issue."
Hank McGuinness that may be the dumbest half-truth you've told in a //long// time.
"Should I call a repairman?"
"No-no me and Al got it! He's taking care of the pipes right now!"
I looked over. On his knees servicing a football club. He certainly was taking care of those pipes.
"I mean...I don't think Mister Rider would be too happy with malfunctioning pipes, shouldn't I call a professional?"
"No! We're fine...everything's fine... How are you?"
"...Good? Can I come in? Talking through the door feels kinda silly."
"Oh there's pipe...smoke...everywhere, you don't want it to get on you."
"...okay," Frank said very clearly unconvinced.
Al probably didn't know it, but I saved his dopey ass a ton of embarrassment. Hmm... maybe not actually. According to the guys Al was finally doing what he always wanted to do, but was too afraid to.
I still felt pretty bad for spiking his drink to win a contest, but it all worked out in the end.
I watch a few of the guys let out loud moans and shoot jets of cum onto Al's ass before I decided to leave. They should have their moment.
Who knows, maybe Al will be part of the football club now?

I gave Frank a smile as I left the building. Did he know what was going on? He seemed like a pretty smart guy...

[[>>>>>|BarrelHideout]]I walked through the hall nervously, half expecting to be attacked at any moment. Every fiber of my being screamed that this was a terrible idea, that I was gonna get myself killed...
But I had no other leads. The trail had run completely dry, and though I didn't wanna admit it...something really fishy was going on. Things had never been this easy before either. A mafioso wouldn't normally give up the location to his hideout after something like a drinking contest... that's the kinda thing that can get you a nice pair of cement shoes.
No, something about this whole situation didn't feel right. Either someone was really bad at covering their tracks, leading me right to them...
Or they were pulling me along on a string, wanting me to find them.
I swallowed hard. This was supposed to be an easy open and shut case...but I found myself without an answer for //anything// that had been going on in the city.
Rumors everywhere you go... Pink flowers that cause you to lose your inhibitions... Men vanishing without a trace... The mayor wanting to build some kind of monument... I didn't understand any of it, and it made me scared. An anxious thought was creeping into my mind...
I might be next.

"You lost detective?" A portly mustacheoed fellow said to me, scratching his chin. There was an air of power around him. Definitely not a soldier, probably the underboss.
"I was...told to come here by Al," I said, trying to sound confident but most likely failing miserably.
"Al?" has asked tilting his head slightly. He put one of his hands in a pocket of his expensive suit. "Not sure who you're talkin' about buster, but if he knows where we are, then I have a few words for him."
"He told me that someone was looking into the disappearances," I added, hoping that would keep him from having me shot.
The man removed his bowler hat and let out a little chuckle. "That would be me. Vinchenzo Rossi at your service."

<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dloevefs7jjysi8/vinnie.png?dl=1">: Yeah...I haven't told anyone else. I don't wanna make anyone panic. The only lead I have is some sort of club called The Viper's Moan. I haven't found it, and apparently there's some kind of password to get in.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9zxyf6mvzpqysp/McGuinness%20Agitated.png?dl=1">: Any idea what it is?
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dloevefs7jjysi8/vinnie.png?dl=1">: Only that it's on products associated with the club. They produce alcohol and some cigars. Last I heard another family was distributing them.

Darkness all around me...
Until a bright light shone into my eyes. When my vision returned, I was face to face with the unexpected.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltq9032a8n00kvk/SUBMIT.png?dl=1">:
''Y O U A R E V E R Y I N T E R E S T I N G L I T T L E M A N.''
I could barely understand what was speaking to me...I couldn't get a word out...like just being near it was warping my brain.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltq9032a8n00kvk/SUBMIT.png?dl=1">:
''I L I K E Y O U. I P R O P O S E A D E A L. A R E Y O U I N T E R E S T E D ?''
"A deal?" I asked in my head. Luckily this thing seemed to be able to understand my thoughts.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltq9032a8n00kvk/SUBMIT.png?dl=1">:
''I W I L L G I V E Y O U E V E R Y T H I N G Y O U D E S I R E, I N E X C H A N G E F O R Y O U R S O U L.''
That's it? No pesky soul? Even for all the riches in the world, that doesn't sound like a fair trade. Of course...I understood something unspoken about this deal. "Do I have any say in the matter?" I thought.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltq9032a8n00kvk/SUBMIT.png?dl=1">:
''N O. N O Y O U D O N O T.''
Figures.
Before I could respond the unfathomable creature flashed in a rainbow of lights, it almost felt like it was burning my skin...
It was too much, I couldn't take it...
But it almost immediately ended...
And I...I was different.
My skin had a red hue to it, my body much warmer, and that little voice in my head telling me to how do things was gone.
Good fucking riddance. That little fucker rained on my parade one too many times.
I ran my hand across the horns that had sprouted from my head, which were cool to the touch.
This horror had turned me into a demon... I guess that's what happens when you impress one, even though I'm still not sure how I knew that password. Maybe I have a guardian angel looking out for me.
Ha!
Without my soul, there was nothing to keep me from corrupting the men of the town and feeding //their// souls to my master, The King in the Yellow Jockstrap.
I'm still not sure why that's his name, but he's the boss, so that's what I call him.
In time, The King's flowers would spread across the world, slowly eating away at every grown man's morality.
It took over a decade, in which the men tried to fight back in any way they could.
But to something like The King? That's a blink. That's the length of a sneeze.
The world had become his personal toybox. A world of debauchery and sin. Admittedly, it didn't feel too much different, maybe with just a little more cock sucking.
But hey, what's a little more cock sucking compared to eternal blissful dumb happiness? None of them had to think anymore, the king did the thinking for them.
And as for me...

[[Go Into the Back Room|BackRoom3]]Getting a closer look at the dance hall, it was actually quite impressive. Elaborate chandeliers lit the room in cascades of light and shadow giving the whole area a mysterious vibe. Admittedly the men dancing to no music, and the single person working in the dance hall, kinda added to that feeling and made things a little unnerving.
It was probably best not to dwell on this place, considering who was running it. Kudos on the chandeliers though, they look pretty swell. Though... the pattern of the glass was kinda odd. Almost like...
Eyes. The chandeliers were shaped like eyes.
Not thinking about this anymore.
[[>>>>>|Viper3Walk]]The back room wass extremely dusty, with a bunch of odd doodads everywhere. Alongside those were some chairs, mostly being used to hold the doodads, some of which have no business being in a dance hall.

<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "title" loop play>>
I was so tired, so exhausted. My mind screamed at me to keep trying...but I couldn't anymore.
That voice faded away. Melted down into nothing.
And nothing's exactly what replaced it.
No more thinking for myself. No more willpower. He got rid of that and made me a good boy.
I'm a good boy.
I guess I had a pretty strong brain, some other guys don't even have what I got.
Maybe it's cuz I'm a good boy.
I don't leave The Viper's Moan too often. Even when I do, I can hear The King right in my head. He's always doin' the thinkin' for me.
Sometimes I hear some other things. I think my brain tries to think?
Sometimes it lets me talk better for a little bit.
But mostly it just tells me to get out of here, go back to my old life.
That voice is dumb. There's booze, cigars, and all the guys I can fuck! What else could there be? Words? Bleh.
The new mayor is one of us. A shame the old one died cuz of one of these cigars. He died for no reason.
Whoops.
Sometimes? When that voice comes back, I wonder, what woulda happened if I made different choices? Would I have been tainted enough for The King to get me? Whoooooooooooooo Knooooooooooooows. Thinkins for him. Not me. I'm a good boy.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1edw6f8gcz22k5/McGuinness%20Hypnotized.gif?dl=1">: I'm doing juuuust fiiiiiine...
[[>>>>>|THEND2]]But just like that...it all stopped.
I don't know how I did it, but I managed to fight off The King's mental intrusion.
<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "title" loop play>>
At least I thought I did. Things haven't been the same since then.
Either way, once his attempt stopped, everything snapped back and I was standing in the doorway of The Viper's Moan.
I was being either let go or kicked out, maybe both.
To think it took until now for my eyes to open, to see the veil beyond our reality. Now I know that powerful dark things live on the other side.
I should probably count my blessings. This eldritch horror just eats souls and turns people into hedonistic idiots. There could be far worse things out there.
Or it could just be him for all I know.
The King haunted my dreams, taunting me. Showing me fields of his pink flowers, men dropping everything, their eyes shining with hypnotic colors as the become dumb lust crazed beasts.
His influence was gonna spread and there was nothing I could do about it.
Maybe that was my punishment for resisting, being forced to watch.
How many men were going to end up like D'Amici?
To think. The man died for nothing. Accidentally killed by a bribe. There was no grand conspiracy involving him, his monument was probably just to stroke his ego, not worship some dark god.
Kind of exhausting to think about.
I decided to go with Laverne, she may not know about the horror lurking beneath the surfice of this city, but the surface is fuckin' bad enough as is! We got an apartment together in Memphis, she has family there so its not completly lonely.
And it's a long long distance from Calloway. That's all I need.
I'm not gonna pretend that everything is okay. I know the day will come when The King in the Yellow Jockstrap finally comes for me again, and I won't be able to fight him off twice. I bought myself some time, and nothing more.
But I look and I see a city untainted by his force.
That's good enough.
The King's influence isn't all bad, however. I finally got the courage to try and meet men romantically.
I wonder if I'm gonna be luckier in love than I am investigations?
Heh. I won't hold my breath.
King of the Yellow Jockstrap, you may have your claws around countless other men, but you missed one. And guess what?

This time...a tunnel. A long passage with nothing in it.
<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "hypno" loop play>>
...or so I thought.
[[Continue Down the Tunnel...|Viper61]]

[[Continue Down the Tunnel...|Viper64]]I don't know if the three men hypnotized and brain drained was supposed to scare me, or if them being there was a coincidence, but the next thing I saw made my blood run cold. After walking past the stupified police chief for what felt like forever, a spectral form phased through the floor in front of me, hovering in a relaxed pose on his side.
I stumbled over my words. I was completely unprepared.
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei9ojpnc5jykj3a/McGuinness%20Scared.png?dl=1">: M-Mayor, sir!
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzsvou14xuh650c/mayor.png?dl=1">: In the flesh! Or...I guess not now, heheh.

<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzsvou14xuh650c/mayor.png?dl=1">: The King gave me a second chance and made me a ghost! What does it look like happened?
My head was pounding. The King had to be very very close now. Everything felt like it was spiraling out of control and very dream-like.
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei9ojpnc5jykj3a/McGuinness%20Scared.png?dl=1">: Mayor...can you make him stop?
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzsvou14xuh650c/mayor.png?dl=1">: Stop? Why would I want that?
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei9ojpnc5jykj3a/McGuinness%20Scared.png?dl=1">: These men have families who miss them!
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzsvou14xuh650c/mayor.png?dl=1">: Yeah...but here they can suck cock.
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/i7gciiwvyy04l3r/mayor%20wink.png?dl=1">: I rest my case.
He wasn't taking anything seriously, and the pounding in my head was getting stronger.
I was running out of time.
I got desperate and did something I shouldn't have.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9zxyf6mvzpqysp/McGuinness%20Agitated.png?dl=1">: I...wanna ask him myself.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzsvou14xuh650c/mayor.png?dl=1">: You...what?
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9zxyf6mvzpqysp/McGuinness%20Agitated.png?dl=1">: I want to meet this King...and tell him to stop.

[[>>>>>|ViperLast]]I didn't take very long at all before I realized I made a horrible horrible mistake.
<<masteraudio stop>><<audio "eldritch" volume 0.6 loop play>>
Whether it was actually D'Amici's ghost or just some figment made to torment me, the phantom listened nonetheless. He melted back into the ground, and a low rumbling began around me. Before long, every thing fell apart and I was floating in an endless void.
Nothing but me, and an infinitely large eye sizing me up.
I suppose this was the closest I was getting to seeing "The King". If him taking the form of a gargantuan eyeball causes me massive headaches, then his true form likely would shatter my mind.
So uh...glad he didn't do that.
<img src= "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltq9032a8n00kvk/SUBMIT.png?dl=1">
The eye gazed at me in a way that made my skin crawl, but that feel turned to abject horror when I realized this thing had given up trying to turn me to its side the easy way, and was now trying the direct approach.
So small...
I've never felt so small...
Countless thoughs screaming in my head, drowning out my own...this eldritch being seemed to be trying to overload my brain with thoughts alone...
When I woke up this morning, I thought this was gonna be an easy paycheck...
And now my will is being overwritten by this perverse monster...
I...I tried holding my identity together.
Any shred of who I was was worth keeping...
I felt myself slipping...
My mind unravelling...
<<if $Corruption gte 16>>[[>>>>>|Ending 2]]<<else>>[[>>>>>|Ending 1]]<</if>>This game has themes of hypnosis, mind control, and other mental changes. In addition, a character's death is part of the story.

People sensitive to either of these things should take care when playing this game.
