Do you know where to find those two?
It should be no problem. Trust me, I know their spots, so I'll find them for sure.
I'll go wait for Emilia inside. Let's keep in touch just in case something doesn't go as planned.
Oh, you silly little thing… "Within our limits", she says… "I'm not that dumb", she says…
You are an intelligent woman indeed, and a damn kinky one to the boot, but you are also naïve and inexperienced to our ways and customs, Laura. You have no idea how we do things in this village, and it almost makes me feel bad for you…
If a rule gets broken, and someone has a problem with it, that's a cause for discipline in the eyes of Kostikki, and you gave me all the ammunition I need to prosecute them. That's all I need to set them up to be punished. I know how to manipulate young brains and what buttons to press to make them shit their pants, and I'm so sick and tired of them always squirming away, "outsmarting" me, disrespecting me, and making fun of me. Milka, always playing hard to get, and Heidi, always acting like she's smarter than everyone around her… You're BOTH going to learn a valuable lesson in respect today…
Pity about Emilia, though. She looks so fuckable. I sure would've loved to get to know her on a more intimate level, but maybe next time you let me, my dear neighbor…
Still, rounding those two up might be difficult since I don't want to make a scene. I'd prefer to do this alone, but maybe I must give HIM a call to help me out…
I really think I should go.
I agree. What about us, Milka? What should we do meanwhile?
Well, we were supposed to go for a walk around the village. Let's go wait near the park. Maybe Emilia can still hang out after that little talk. Just keep us updated, okay?
Of course. See you soon, I hope.
Oh, it's just… What if she's in trouble?
Do you seriously think she could be?
That's the thing, isn't it? We just don't know! Like, for her to get in trouble… that's the last thing I want for her right now…
N-no, not really…
Okay maybe a little, but like…
You shouldn't. It wasn't our fault.
I know! We didn't know what we were walking into! So to blame this on her would be pretty retarded!
*giggle* I would've maybe used a little bit kinder word, but you're right…
Besides, her mother is a total mystery to us.
Well, we know some things. Like, she looked so nice and bubbly when we first met her, but she was also strict enough to ground her for breaking curfew.
To be fair, we hung out until like eleven in the evening, so it's not an unreasonable reaction from a parent. If anything, we're the ones who got easy.
Well, now that you put it like that…
But how about what we just saw?
Yeah, her mom's got issues too. No question about it. Like good grief, I've never seen
anyone do it with a dog before, or
ANY animal for that matter!
And they were doing it out in the fucking open like it's normal or something! Can you believe it!?
Well, at least it looked like Venla was feeling good…
Y-yeah, I mean… Like I said earlier, not to kink-shame or anything…
Maybe we should try it one day?
*chuckle* Okay, I'm sorry, that would probably be a little bit too far… I'm not sure if I'd have the heart to do it with a dog either, no matter how good it might feel…
*sigh* Let's not get distracted… Do you think her mother could be one of
"those"?
If you mean by
"those" you mean the prude ones who hate this game, I think the answer is a resounding
"no".
N-no, I mean the other
"those"…
O-oh, yeah… Because she was doing it with Danny… Right…
I'm not saying we should start painting devils on the walls here, but at the same time…
Her mother
COULD be dangerous, yes…
Maybe not dangerous to an extent where she would literally wish to hurt her daughter, but still.
Yeah, I don't believe she would hurt her either. Like, she just called Emilia home to explain the situation. Emilia herself said that her mother sounded genuinely worried.
And it's not like Danny is forceful to the point of breaking the rules either. He's just a little pushy.
Yeah, and obsessed with authority! The guy takes himself
WAY too seriously! Fucking clown…
*snicker* You're so mean… He's not
THAT bad, you know.
But he loves taking "liberties" too, doesn't he? I
hate those kinds of men! Those who act first, ask questions later… They're the worst!
Yeah, that's fair. I mean, I've never gotten that impression of him personally, but…
He's a little bit too much for me sometimes. Like sure, he's great in bed - and funny too! - and I know
you have a soft spot for him, but…
No worries, Heidi. I get what you mean.
Still… He'll listen when told "no", so that's something… So he's not as bad as
some others are…
How about Emilia? How do you think she could react to Danny's "pushes"?
Errrr, no idea… I mean, what kind of girl IS she in the bedroom?
Well, she's into her brother, so…
But that's an interest of attraction, not a kink.
I think incest is a kink!
You're a kinky brotherlover too!
O-okay, maybe it is a kink… But it's not a kink in
THAT sense, if you know what I mean… There's still room for overlap with other, more specific interests… Like, you can be attracted to your brother and
also be into whips and candles, for example…
Still, I think there's a high chance she could try to be defiant at the face of a pervert like Danny, maybe even lash out at him considering how sharp her tongue is… But then again…
She could also embrace it…
She
could just happily take it all without even thinking about saying no…
And forget about Danny! It's easy to say "no" to a pervert, especially a stranger, but what if someone like her mother wanted to push her?
Shit, you're right. If it's someone she trusts, or sees as an authority figure tries to push her… she
could feel pressured…
Yeah, and since she
could just take it all… that
someone could theoretically push her too far, which
could be traumatic for someone as inexperienced as her…
I thought we agreed her mother is not like that…
We kinda did, but we still don't know for sure. Let's not forget what we saw her do with Danny and Venla!
…You might be onto something…
Besides, even though we taught her the rules, does she understand the nuances? Does she know how to use the rules to her advantage?
No way in hell she does! That much is for certain. Like, the girl's practically a virgin! Only popped her cherry yesterday!
Does she even have personal boundaries?
That's a little condescending. Everyone has boundaries and dislikes,
especially the inexperienced ones…
Yeah, but what if she doesn't?
Milka, stop. She's just a normal kid, way more normal than we are…
That's exactly why she might find it difficult
"no". It's not a word that's easy to say under pressure, you know. I for sure find it difficult to say when my granny bosses me around.
*sigh* Okay, I get what you mean. Still, we're supposed to be her teachers
exactly because we want her to play safely and responsibly and not get in trouble.
And that's why I suggest these worried teachers should go look out for their young student.
Huh? What are you thinking?
I say we follow Emilia to her home.
Just in case! Like, I'm sure she'll be fine, but…
Don't you want to at least know what's going on between her and her mother?
I do, but we can just ask her later, you know…
What? Are you chickening out on me? We've done this a million times, Heidi.
Cluck cluck, lil' chicken!
♪
Come on, Heidi! We'll make sure she's not in trouble, and we'll figure out what might be going on with her at the same time! It's not like we have anything else to do, right? Or do you want to go out flashing your star today that badly?
*ptui* Won't be needing this anymore…
✰
Yeah, probably not a good idea to wear one if we're up to no good…
"Up to no good"? That's so harsh…
We're just looking out for our new bestie!
I know, I know…
Okay, mine's gone too.
I don't know why, but coming back here is making my heart race all over again… Is it only because of what we saw, or is it because I might be afraid there's truth to Milka's worries?
Feels a little more exhilarating than our average spying mission, doesn't it?
How do you even approach a house like this? It's so big, and no matter what happens inside, we probably won't hear a peep.
Should've thought of that earlier…
It's not like we're not used to improvising though…
Is approaching it even a good idea? I mean, we can't get a good look unless we get close, but because the yard is so open…
Yeah, we could get caught.
Maybe if we stay here in the bushes, we can -
Still up to no good, I see.
W-who?! Oh, it's just you, Danny…
You girls are nothing but predictable.
I knew you would be coming back here the moment Emilia got called back home.
We're just wondering if she can still hang out. That's all.
Well she can't. You've been strictly disallowed from meeting her.
Yeah, because you have been teaching her daughter about things she should have no business knowing.
Who are you to decide that?
Not
"me", but her mother. Like seriously, do you girls have any idea how much fucking trouble you're in right now? What were you thinking showing something like that to her?
You know exactly what I mean. You like sneaking around - the fact that you're trespassing on private property right now proves it alone - so you decided to expose her to what we were doing, and now the poor girl is traumatized.
What are you talking about!?
Yeah, what!? You're lying through your teeth!
You're lying about her being traumatized!? We literally just hung out with her! She's fine!
Look, it's all on the camera. I caught
all of you three spying on us.
And whose fault was that?!
Don't raise your voice at me, Heidi.
But she's right! It's your fault! You were the ones doing that out in the open, being risky!
Doesn't change the fact that you've been teaching someone who was never supposed to know.
Besides, we just got curious because we heard moaning and walked in on accident! We didn't mean to show her anything like that!
Bullshit. I know you girls like I know my own pockets, and -
Avoiding your own responsibilities now, are you?!
Will you finally stop raising your voice with me? I'm starting to lose my patience.
You want calm? Fine. She learned about this game way earlier than today, so you are
WRONG.
That doesn't change anything.
Of course it changes everything! You were literally making stuff up!
No, I wasn't. It wasn't a lie. It was a mere guess, and I was wrong about it. But here's the thing: it still doesn't change the fact that it's you two who exposed her to this game.
W-well, maybe that's true, but -
In fact, it only makes things worse for
ALL of you, Emilia included. If her mother finds out she's known for a long while, if
she finds out she's actually been playing…
There will be hell to pay.
That was a promise. You've more or less admitted that Emilia's known for a longer while, and you've admitted to having some part in all of this…
We've
only been teaching her how to play safe and be responsible, Danny. We're not forcing her into anything.
That's another confession.
Why would you even have a problem with this?!
This isn't about me or my personal feelings on the matter. This is about the rules which you have broken, and about Emilia's mother.
Who cares about her mother!? It's Emilia's choice to play if she wants to!
Her mother is
furious at you two. That's why I'm here. I'm a hitman, a hired gun to make sure you get punished.
Yeah, just like Emilia will be punished if she's actually been playing the game.
And let me just tell you, Laura is a bad, bad bitch.
No she's not! Why do you keep lying to -
I'm not kidding! That woman is fucking demented! Whose idea do you think it was? What you girls just saw!?
It was all her! So who knows how she'll punish Emilia, especially given that they'll be meeting with another Joker in a minute!
Wait, Milka… Is she crying!?
Daniel! You lying son of a wh-
Girls, just relax and listen to him.
Henry! Why are you here!?
I mean, I'm glad you're here, but…
Daniel told me everything. About what you did.
Be. Quiet. *jangle* …And stay still.
Handcuffs?! Henry has a pair too! What the fuck is going on!?
Sorry sis, this is for your own good.
Round her up, Henry. I'll handle Milka.
Yes we can, Heidi. You're under arrest.
We're not even wearing stars!
I'll be the judge of that.
Did I ever say you were? But since you have broken the rules, who fucking knows what you could be hiding under those clothes.
Do they seriously think we've been cursed!?
Wait…
Fucking wait…
Am I?
Your tears certainly speak volumes…
Just like that, Heidi. Stay still
Oh no…
Oh fucking no…
There isn't a fucking black star STILL hidden somewhere in my body right now, is there!? I made sure to wash it off, and nobody saw it when I was wearing my swimsuit earlier either, but… What if it comes back later?
You too, Milka. Relax. There's no need for you to be crying.
Just like that, Ms. Ahlroos, nice and easy…
Why did Milka stop resisting!? She looks so surprised, a little calmer too, but… why is she nodding? Did Henry manage to calm her down? That's a relief… I hate it when she cries… But still, she shouldn't just let Danny cuff her up like that…
And why is Henry enabling this!?
That's right, just do as you're told. No sudden moves.
Listen to me. You'll be safe. He just wants to -
B-but Henry! You don't get it! I think I'm cursed for real!
I'm serious! He's going to fucking rape me if he finds out!
Cursed? Seriously? She sure thinks so. She's shaking in fear, on the verge of tears, and Milka's not looking any calmer…
I didn't even take her for a believer. I mean, I had my doubts for years as well, and she's always been a skeptic, but… Fuck, I thought Daniel was going to just play around a little and give them a talking-to, give them a little scare in an attempt to correct their past behavior, but this might be serious…
I didn't know what I was doing! I made a horrible mistake! But I didn't mean to!
Calm down! Why would you be cursed? Is this seriously about you teaching wrong people about this game?
J-just… please, promise me he won't hurt me!
You will both be safe. Of course you will. You have my -
What are you two whispering?
I'm just trying to calm my sister down, explain what's going on.
Well ain't that just sweet. Your sister sure looks scared…
This seriously can't be happening! How could I be so stupid!? I should've believed in what Sanni and Milka taught me!
It's too late now… I can't even bear the thought of what he will do to me if he finds a black star on my skin…
She's really freaking out, isn't she? Like she's truly scared of him. Daniel is scary - he sure likes to throw his badge around - but he's been shaking down star-bearers for years, though. Is she just overreacting? Does she know something I don't? Maybe she IS cursed. But if she already is, well… is there anything I can do?
Danny's rubbing my shoulder… I'm sure I checked all over, but… Does he know where it is? I mean, Milka told me that Jokers know who's been cursed or not, even though the star is hidden…
Now those are the eyes of a girl who's been cursed and knows it…
It's only a matter of time before I -
She said STOP you god-damn FREAK!
Milka, be fucking quiet or -
She hasn't done anything wrong! It was all me! I dragged Emilia into this!
So don't you DARE put your hands on her!
It's ME who you should punish!
Why would you do something so reckless!? You're throwing yourself in harm's way! You idiot! I don't want you to get hurt either! And Henry! For fuck's sake, why aren't you putting a stop to this!?
Milka, calm down. He won't punish either of you. He just wants to have a talk with you.
Stern talking-to, yes.
Still, that's a confession of guilt if I've ever heard one…
Well, it seems like I'm not the only one here wishing to protect Heidi. I want to protect Milka too, but… no, no… I wouldn't get away with pointing a gun at him, that's a bad idea. He's within his right as both a Joker and an officer here…
I think everyone needs to calm down, think more rationally, myself included. But I seriously need to have a talk with this guy…
Get inside, girls.
Hey, thanks for the help, Henry.
Uh, just a second Daniel. I want to talk to you first. Just let me help them with their seatbelts.
Henry! Don't let us go alone with him!
I'm sorry, sis. He is technically arresting you. Obstruction isn't something I need on my record. You just gotta sit tight and do as you're told.
Yeah Heidi, relax. Let me handle Danny, okay?
I'll speak with Daniel. Everything will be alright. I promise.
At least I hope it will be.
Alright, what's up, Henry? What is there to talk about?
I don't know. What
IS this all about, Daniel?
This was about corralling these girls. And that's all taken care of. So… I don't expect to need you from here. I can handle these two myself. You just head back into town. Frankly, I only asked you to assist to make this all look more official, help freak them out a little. And they are plenty spooked, aren't they?
With all due respect, this feels excessive.
What, are you
that worried for them?
Yes, I am worried, but not just for them. What are you planning
exactly?
I already told you on the phone, didn't I? They have broken the rules. Milka even confessed just now.
But have they really been cursed?
Don't play dumb. I know you're a Joker.
That doesn't mean I have superpowers, Henry. I'm not a hound dog. I can't sniff these things out. I can only go where the Raven leads me.
Sorry Daniel, but… this all just sounds like an excuse to molest them.
Well, in a manner of speaking… I'm nothing if not thorough!
Now's not a time for jokes.
I'm just doing my job, Henry. Sometimes that means ruffling feathers and poking holes. That doesn't mean I'm going to
hurt them, Henry, if that's what you're insinuating…
You say that, but what will you do if they are cursed?
Have to see. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. But rest assured, I'll take care of it.
This isn't my first rodeo, Henry. You can trust me.
Forget about me.
They don't trust you.
Milka and I go way back, you know. She trusts me.
But what of Heidi? She called you a liar several times.
And Milka is afraid of the dentist. So what?
What does that have to do with anything?
Jesus Henry. Children are irrational and emotionally charged little things, and they don't always know what's good for them. I know Heidi distrusts me to an extent, maybe even hates some parts of me, and it brings me no joy to hear that, but I'd rather be a bad guy in her eyes than let her get away with breaking the law. The same goes for Milka.
For the last time, I do not want to hurt them, and I don't want it to be traumatic for them either. But as an enforcer of both law and our local ways, I
have to do what I
must.
Daniel, I get it…
But this isn't a mere game for me. This goes beyond police work too. She's my family.
And that's exactly why you should sit back on this one.
Let me come. I wish to punish Heidi myself.
No. That's final. I don't want your emotions getting the better of you.
How can I trust him when he doesn't even want me to come with him? He's definitely planning something, I just know it. But what the hell should I do? What CAN I do? Demand to go with him, not just ask kindly? Fuck, Heidi doesn't call him a liar without reason… I know this guy has his issues within his family too, demons he wishes to hide from them…
But even though I know he's not a rapist… I just can't push this ugly feeling in my stomach away…
I don't want to potentially sacrifice these two girls to even for a second, but perhaps if I play my cards right, if the worst comes to pass…
I think I know what I must do…
I know you don't, and I respect you for that. You're a good kid, Henry.
*sigh* Call me if you need me for anything, okay?
We'll keep in touch, intern. You're dismissed.
Heidi, I know what you're worried about. It's about that black star earlier, isn't it?
It wasn't a real curse, so you don't need to worry any longer.
No, listen to me. A real curse
hurts.
I mean it. It literally hurts. You were simply being warned by Lauhatar to stop being risky.
How do you know…
Wait, why haven't you told me before?
Have you been cursed, or…
N-no, not m-me… just what granny t-told me…
Look, it doesn't matter, okay? All you need to know is that I will handle Danny. I won't let him touch you.
But I don't want him fucking touching you either!
No, it must be me. I know Danny better than you, and I know I can handle him. I can take it.
Don't even joke about it…
You listen to me! He made you cry! I can't look past that!
Milka, please… I'm worried for you, because you said -
And I'm worried for Emilia! I feel responsible for her!
It's not your fault, Milka…
I know it's not! But I can't help it! I'm the one who showed her!
Danny just said that to get a rise out of you! Don't believe him!
What what if he is right?! What if that woman is a psycho!?
Milka, she's a mother, not a monster!
Emilia herself loves and trusts her. Shouldn't that matter to us as well?
B-but, I… I'm s-so afraid f-for her…
S-she doesn't even k-know how to look out for herself, or… or protect h-herself…
I'm so afraid…
*sob* …she m-might get hurt…
She'll be fine. Don't let Danny get to you.
And if you're not cursed like you say you are, then there's no need for you to worry either…
I know… I won't let him touch either of us… Trust me…
Alright then, let's get rolling.
Heidi, you still have me… Just remember what I told you…
I seriously hope you know what you're doing…
Be quiet back there, and think about what you've done. You can at least do that, right?
That's right. Relax. It's just a quick ride where we're going.
