Morning/Evening P-listers! Three hours before midnight, but I'm outta town
in the AM, so here goes GRGR(10):
Good Morning Casino H.G.!
Well fucked, in more ways than one, Slothrop dutifully studies the Rocket.
He is fully aware that he's in their hands, but he enjoys the full house of
perks. "Oink, oink, oink."
Sir Stephen Dodson-Truck, Foreign Office P.I.D., materialized
observer/mentor, shares with Slothrop a common bond: a love for the Word.
"Are they trying to seduce his brain now?"
Slothrop finds a "clutch mechanism" which frees him now and then from their
drive shaft.
Katje plays her role of Seductress, Slothrop the conscious Patsy. But in
the Casino, at the roulette wheel, Slothrop penetrates the cover, the
Meta-Casino, and finds Katje's own slavery to inertia.
Slothrop glimpses into the forbidden wing and the forbidden room and
connects them to the Casino, the Meta-Casino.
Slothrop grows a mustache, remembering the black cardboard set he'd had as a
child. Good-guy or Bad guy?
Slothrop employs Counter-Espionage with a raucous game of Prince (of Wales).
A sodden Sir D.T. melts down and spills a few beans about "The Penis He
Thought Was His Own."
Meanwhile, back in London, Carol Eventyr is visited by the sinister Sammy
Hillbert-Spaess. He's just checking that Eventyr and Peter Sachsa aren't
talking.
Meanwhile, back in Sachsa's life, we find Leni and he out in the street at
Sachsa's lasts moment of life. "_How Beautiful_."
Next day, back at the Casino, Sir D.T.'s gone and Katje's pissed because
Slothrop's "sabotaged the whole thing." A very sexy brawl ensues, and they
both cum. Katje then strokes Slothrop's other rocket and expresses remorse.
She wishes Slothrop a revelation in the Zone. Then _she's_ gone.
