Game 2 Outline |
You step forward and ask the girl her name. "It is Pitti-Sing," she replies, and takes you aside. "Trust me, he doesn't have the backbone to actually kill me. He'll find an excuse to avoid it. He's a tailor. He wasn't meant for this job." She then steps forward and looks Lord High Executioner Koko in the eye. "Go ahead," she says. Koko appears to waver for a moment. There is a dreadful silence.
That silence is broken by a portly man in a blue kimono. He says impatiently, "Chop it off, Koko, chop it off." Koko turns to him and says:
"As Lord High Executioner, it is my moral duty to execute her IN A MONTH. Until then, I won't kill her. I can't kill her now. I can't even kill a bluebottle. I wouldn't know where to start," says Koko.
Pitti-Sing replies, "Come now, we all have difficult duties to discharge at times." Koko shakes his head.
"Maybe I'll practice on a fly, then move up to a hamster, and thus work my way up through the animal kingdom until I reach a beautiful Japanese maiden. No. I can't kill her. I can't (sob) kill anybody!"
Koko drops his sword, falls to the ground, and begins weeping, utterly distraught.
"Told you so," says Pitti-Sing with a wink.
