How is it that things didn't work out with Jim Baxter?
He refuses to donate semen for his fiancée's sake.
"Sorry, Anna," Jim tells you. "That thing with Olivia, that was just fooling around. But if my fiancée heard I was someone's baby daddy, that's just a no. I know what I have in her, she's the Pearl of Great Price. (1) "I wouldn't trade anything for my Pearl. My contract here is almost over, and I'm headed straight home to her. Not even if I might not be the daddy. If I might be, that's close enough, so that's a no."
(1) New Testament, Matthew 13:45-46. The Pearl of Great Price represents the kingdom of Heaven.
"Thank you, Mr. Baxter," you say. "You have to do the right thing." You run your pencil across his name on the list you have clipped to a clipboard. "And I wish you and your Pearl joy and happiness together." You do. Some people think you're joking. But you're more serious than most people who would just say the words.
Say the words without feeling anything.
"Good luck, Anna," Jim Baxter says. "I've worked with Dr. Cutler. If she wants to be a mother, she'll make a fine one. I just can't be the one to make her that."
He's cute. Handsome, really. Strong. Good energy in how he stands, how he walks, how he looks at you. You bet DeLoria Cutler would have had cute babies with him.
"Thank you for the good wishes," you say.
He shakes your hand and you go down to the next person on the list.
You have 1 XP, +1 Hard, -1 Hot, -1 Cool, +2 Control), and know the Character Moves Ass-Licking and Masturbate.
