These are the nation’s leading scofflaws? America’s most wanted? Jabba has asked me to care for them. Is Jabba’s heart beginning to thaw?
I shall assist, for reasons still vague to me: This is a safe haven, by Code and by Craft, and all rules will be respected. So be it.
Note to myself: Thaw out the portobello mushroom steaks for dinner.

*** You are in room “14Lounge” ***
Scratch:O.K. I’m here. What’s the significance of “14Lounge”?
Marie:Just anEYElounge. It’s secure.
Scratch:More secure than the private rooms the rest of us use?
Marie:Let’s not talk about work. I don’t have much time. Want you now.
Scratch:Good. I’m running water in the tub, I’m supposed to be lovingly drawing you a bath, but…
Marie:I’m being bad.
Scratch:I’m taking—right. You’re a bad girl. I grab you around the waist, half lifting you up, grabbing your crotch.
Marie:Y-y-y-ess.
Scratch:You’re wet already, little girl.
Marie:I’m sorry.
Scratch:You’ve been thinking nasty thoughts.
Marie:Yes.
Scratch:My hand is rubbing your clit, my other sneaking around behind you, teasing. But I refuse to go in.
Marie:::whimpering::
Scratch:I put two fingers just inside, but you want it—
Marie:Deeper.
Scratch:Yes, but I won’t, you know, not until you open way up.
Marie:::Opening::
Private Message to Winc
Scratch:You won’t believe what’s happening. Guess what the “way powerful” want?
Winc:::dryly:: To be dominated?
