it's true: i am a human ATM. well, no money no honey as the T-shirts say.
of course u can always find true love. then just wait a few years, until you're GRATEFUL sex is no longer on themenu. then a few more, when her and lawyer negotiate just how much of your flesh they're going to carve from your shivering corpus delicti.
i want to thank p310 as i enjoy putting mysteries up on forums, and few want to play along. i find it fun and i guess i'm in the minority. but it seems paladin has a sense of intrigue and adventure, and so you can thank him for the included shot, which really gives little more info than the original. there IS an indication as to the intensity of the conversation, but i'm not gonna "go there": not now, maybe not ever. this was New Year's Eve, 2002, and she went from a place with few success stories to a contented and prosperous life in Europe courtesy of a fortunate gentleman i never met.
i'm not going to delve into the history--my door slammed shut on this day, and as always in the mizu-shobai, new doors opened.
but when i said "no ATMs," i meant that literally. at that time, in that entire city, there was not a single ATM. transactions were cash and if you were short, you could go to a bank and get an advance on a credit card. other than that, u cd beg a friend to help u out via Western Union. if you knew locals, maybe u cd float a loan. nowadays this locale has plenty of ATMs, but the building we were in--in fact, the entire area--has been closed down. i don't know what's out there now.
