"I mean there are *so many* people. But let me make this clear: The man who was hanged from that tree did not rape me." 16 Rhetoric: The wording -- a verbal eye roll.

The lieutenant looks at you. "We may have things to discuss there." 28->506 29->3 30 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "That it doesn't *matter* anymore. And that we are *alone* now. It was difficult to tell, the song itself was very quiet and soft, but you sounded like a wounded boar, sir. It was hard to understand what you were singing on top of it." 70 You: "I've heard enough." 30->70 95 You: "Then what happened?" 30->95 594 You: "I'm sorry." 30->594 680 You: "When you say *wounded* do you mean that in a *cool* way?

She searches for the word, then shrugs. "Rapeable." 52->149 53 You: "Why was there a bullet in his head?" 631 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Bullet?" There's a silence. Her brows meet in the middle, for a pained frown. "They *shot* him too?" 53->631 54 You: "Got it. 89% is good enough. Moving on." 411 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Cool." 54->411 55 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Hmh..." She flicks a bit of ash away. "Maybe you don't..." The ash lands on her jumpsuit. She brushes it off. 610 Perception (Sight): There are numerous cigarette burns on those silvery scales -- easy to see now that you're closer. 55->610 56 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure you do, detective..." She cuts you down to size with her light brown eyes. 195 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "In conclusion, officer -- I'm gonna go with a mild to medium *not raped* here." 56->195 57 Perception (Hearing): You hear cracking in her shoulders. 57->17 58 Empathy: She sincerely thinks it's very cool of you. 80 Jump to: [assault hjub] 58->80 59 You: "Suspect partied with victim. Write it down, Kim." 458 Kim Kitsuragi: "You're being sarcastic." 59->458 60 You: "Did you rim the lemonade glasses with sugar? I like to do that." 152 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Yeah, I love that too!" Her voice is girlishly high-pitched now. "We frosted the glasses, I unwrapped my bike, there was a petting zoo with little white rabbits..." 60->152 61 Endurance: Whoah. After so much drinking *and* drugs -- how did they manage it? 82 You: "You were lovers?" 61->82 83 You: "Understood." 61->83 347 You: "Hold on. After so much drinking and drugs... *how?*" 61->347 494 You: "Were feelings involved?" 61->494 62 You: "And his role in this strike was... what?" 462 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I think he was in a security detail. He was ex-military. Worked for Wild Pines; against the Union. We didn't discuss work much, if you know what I mean. But I understood it was dangerous." 62->462 63 Jump to: [assault hjub] 63->299 64 You: "Could that be why they lynched him? Jealousy?" 93 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I hope not." A pause. "Actually, I *know* that's not the reason. I'm careful about that kind of thing. Not crossing the wires, you know. But that's probably where they got the rape idea." 64->93 65 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): She nods. Silvery cigarette fumes disappear into her mouth... 65->245 66 You: "You mentioned loud disco music?" 557 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Oh yes, various artists. Ostentatious Orchestrations prime among them." She arches her eyebrow, waiting for it to connect with you. 66->557 67 Encyclopedia: Oh, *that*. Yeah, whooh... the less said about OO, the better. 361 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "OO were *huge* where I come from. I was very young then, of course. Like seven. 'Life gets haaard!'" she says, half-singing. "'But we go ooooooon!'" 67->361 68 Rhetoric: Then, doesn't life get hard *because* we go on? 69 You: "It mostly just gets hard, doesn't it?" 68->69 132 You: "Maybe we should stop going on then? Doesn't the 'going on' cause the 'getting harder' part?" 68->132 723 You: "Yeah, we go on alright." 68->723 216 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "It would appear so. At around two o'clock the disco stopped and there was a change of pace." 69->216 466 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Okay." 70->466 71 You: What is... happening? 219 Conceptualization: Nothing. Just time passing. Don't worry. 71->219 72 Volition: Really? Quick, tell me what's under her jumpsuit? 562 Electrochemistry: GLORY. TRUTH. SOFTNESS. PROTECT HER. SHE WANTS YOU. 72->562 73 Volition: But when it comes to assessments of character and factual accuracy they are not to be trusted. Not with her. 183 You: Can I trust any of them *ever again?* 73->183 374 You: Okay. 73->374 74 You: "Well, thank you for making the call anyway." 501 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["TASK.get_the_dead_body_down_from_the_tree_done"] 74->501 75 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Ah yes."

(Keep pointing to your face.) "I didn't know it was physically possible." 81->272 749 You: "*No one* parties harder than me." 81->749 120 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I guess you can say that, yes. A bit. Lovers is such an emotional word. But there was something there. We did enough drugs for there to be." 82->120 121 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Mhm." She looks down at the yard. 83->121 84 You: "It must be hard..." (Point to the yard.) "Seeing him there." "It must have been hard for you..." (Point to the yard.) "Seeing him there."

It was stupid. I was drunk too. I was *probably* afraid the Union was listening in -- locals say they have ears in the wires." 741 Drama: We're not *entirely* convinced about that answer, but okay -- let it slide.

She breathes out, through her nostrils. The air smells of menthol. 90->169 91 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "A little, yeah." 605 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 91->605 92 You: Don't mention it. 755 Suggestion: Don't be tactful. She doesn't care. 92->755 422 You: "What do you mean?" 93->422 94 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Not my favourite topic..." She flicks the ash away. "But okay." 94->299 247 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Then you started screaming and trashed the place." 95->247 96 You: "What happened then?" 320 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "A window was smashed. The tape player probably -- the song stopped -- and furniture too. A real *destructothon*. There was screaming. Then, I think, you passed out." 96->320 97 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I think you might have come to the same conclusion last night. At around two o'clock the disco stopped and there was a change of pace." 173 You: "What happened?" 97->173 98 You: "Before you was only the room -- the sound of the motor vehicle. Steam in the bathroom. And darkness." 322 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Wow," she nods.

Where have I heard that before?" 108 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "A lot of partying going on." 107->108 569 Reaction Speed: From Titus.

"Time flies, man." 112->194 113 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Not explicitly, but I understood what they meant. It wouldn't hurt to spice things up a bit -- some assault and battery, *sexual* assault maybe. It was clear the latter would be *spicier*." 113->299 114 You: "You were asked to say you were assaulted? By the Hardie boys?" 114->113 115 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "You know how it is." 701 Half Light: You *do* know how it is. 115->701 116 You: "It sounds like something happened, and you don't want to acknowledge it." 660 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Let me make this 100% clear then, officer. I was not sexually assaulted." She tilts her head. "Would I be as flippant if I had been?" 116->660 117 Perception (Hearing): You hear cracking in her shoulders. 269 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Let me make this 100% clear then, officer. I was not sexually assaulted. Would I be this flippant if I had been?" 117->269 118 Electrochemistry: You get the feeling she's done enough opiates -- and needed enough NACRA -- to still be flippant if her arm were cut off and fed to her. 118->17 119 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Oh, it is." She takes a long drag.

Were you aware that he had also been shot, miss?" 389 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Things are starting to go a little over my head here... I thought he was hanged? I was not *present* when they did it. I don't know what happened. I just know what they told me -- and Sylvie, the bartender." 127->389 128 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Over drinks. It's been a long, boring winter." 128->478 129 You: "Did you *party*?" 129->91 130 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Men like that? I don't know..." Another pause. "It's the way their imaginations work. I suspect it's what they'd like to do to me." 556 Electrochemistry: She changes balance from one foot to another, crossing her legs. 130->556 131 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Yes, you're just one room away." She pours herself more coffee. "Very personal." 695 Logic: Good. Yes. This means she could have heard something.

And exhausted of this life. 145->295 146 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "By 'sexually assaulted' you mean 'raped'?" She takes a quick drag, unperturbed. 146->104 147 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "It *is* -- it's murderously early. I'm amazed I'm awake.

It was very cool." 679->248 680->679 681->160615 683 Variable["TASK.hear_what_sunday_night"] 682->683 684 !(Variable["TASK.hear_what_sunday_night"]) 682->684 683->408 684->510 685->215 685->246 686->252 687->222 688 Logic: Who, me? 688->178 689->403 690->225 691 Volition: I think it's safe to assume: yes. Mr. Thespian here hasn't been speaking up. If he were, I suspect there would be paeans to her truthfulness. Like this... 691->405 692->430 693->401 694->39 695->507 695->633 696->560 697->421 698->349 699->575 700->52 701->11 702 You: "Do I?" 702->55 704 Variable["whirling.klaasjeone_copotype_apocalypse"] 703->704 705 !(Variable["whirling.klaasjeone_copotype_apocalypse"]) 703->705 704->578 705->56 706->491 708 IsKimHere() 707->708 709 !(IsKimHere()) 707->709 708->619 709->202 710->707 711 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Please, you're alive and *fifty*! I've known people who party so hard they're dead at 14..." She stops to take a short drag. 711->582 712->199 713->188 714->211 715->352 716->299 717->355 718->314 719->678 720->389 721->27 722->634 723->360 724->95 725->465 726->561 727->326 729 Variable["whirling.klaasje_volrapids_fourth_succeeded"] 728->729 730 !(Variable["whirling.klaasje_volrapids_fourth_succeeded"]) 728->730 729->515 730->688 731->597 733 Variable["whirling.klaasje_drama_fired_once"] 732->733 734 !(Variable["whirling.klaasje_drama_fired_once"]) 732->734 733->645 734->691 735->141 737 IsKimHere() 736->737 738 !(IsKimHere()) 736->738 737->205 738->109 739->111 740->211 741->650 742->263 744 IsKimHere() 743->744 745 !(IsKimHere()) 743->745 744->452 745->114 746->150 746->301 746->612 746->613 746->702 747->490 748->412 749->711 750->240 751->19 752->518 753 Kim Kitsuragi: "We will move the body to the morgue today, miss. Don't worry." 753->672 754->159 755->210 756->245 757->160615 758->369 759->690 760->643 762 Logic: She may want to control the information roll-out -- not to become a suspect. She may have a past she's escaping, unrelated to this case. You doubt it's something truly insidious. 761->762 762->101 763->649 765 IsKimHere() 764->765 766 !(IsKimHere()) 764->766 765->753 766->672
