Miss: The Nurse sends you back to House Leontes

⚂⚃ - 1 = 6, Miss.

You lick your lips and look for an answer in Miss Wormwood's face. But the green serpents growing from her head simply bow and straighten, and her face remains impassive.

"Would you like help dressing?" the Nurse asks.

"Y-yes," you say.

But that's all it is. With cool efficiency, Miss Wormwood strips you of your Infirmary smock, helps you on with your pantalettes, and helps you arrange your still-unfamiliar red-and-gold robes.

"Come back...some other time," Miss Wormwood says, her tongue circling her own thin lips.

Not now, then. But some other time, Miss Wormwood would love to bite you, inject venom until you reached paralysis, seizure, or erotic climax -- or any combination thereof -- and invade each one of your orifices with her fingers, the flickering tongues of her serpents, or their wiggling heads and bodies. You desire it, yes, but you dread it as well. Fay, you think, holding her image, her broad pale face with an aureole of ice-blonde hair, holding Fay as your guiding light.

You swallow and nod. "Thank you, Miss Wormwood," you say. "I suppose...I suppose I should go find Fay."

Miss Wormwood chuckles. "You do so moon over that distasteful cow, Morgan," she says in her dust-dry voice. "But each to their taste." Her snakes flicker their tongues. "Each to their taste. Go on, now."

You eagerly anticipate your reunion with Fay.

You have +2 Ambition, +0 Bravery, +2 Cunning, +0 Diligence.
You have 5 XP and may gain a character advancement when ready.
Your FRIENDs are Fay, Galahad the Phallopod, and the Warden of Leontes. The Warden owes you a FAVOR.

You have a CONSEQUENCE (Purged/Exhausted): -1 to Move rolls.

Roll +BRAVERY (+1) (+0 Bravery, -1 CONSEQUENCE, +2 FRIEND) to ENCOUNTER Fay and see if she wants to HAVE SEX. Or at least talk. It's been a while.
