After work, Mazee takes you home with her. "I think you better stay with me tonight," says Mazee. "I already talked to Willa." You nod your head and your wings start to shiver. "Look, Tim," says Mazee. "What happened to you isn't your fault and we'll make this work." "But you heard what Yulong said," you say. "If I walk by anyone exhibiting one of the seven deadly sins..." "Don't worry," says Mazee as she bit her lip. "Don't worry.... we'll... I'll think of something." You gulp because you really hope that Mazee is right.
That night, you and Mazee are at the door of Mazee's apartment building. At the front desk is Mazee's landlady, Cynthia. Cynthia was a giant pear-shaped lich woman who dressed in a purple outfit with a cape, shorts and knee-high high heels. Being a lich her body was decayed and the lower have of her face had her jawbone exposed and you could see her ribs from a hole in her large belly. Surprisingly she had purple horns at the sides of her head and her long purplish black hair. Cynthia turned her decayed head to see you and Mazee and looked in surprise the moment you laid her eye on her (one of her eyes fell out a long time ago).
"Mazee?" she asks. "Is that, Tim?" Mazee nods her head and you can hear Cynthia's thoughts. "I don't even want to know what happened to him? If Roger came home with wings like that, I'd kill him." Roger was Cynthia's human husband. Part of the reason the lich tolerated Mazee having a human boyfriend was her own interspecies relationship. Although, you had doubts about Roger's loyalty to Cynthia. Cynthia then turns her head the other way. "Carry on, Mazee," she says. "Oh, and don't forget, rent's due on Friday. Mazee nodded her head because she understood.
Mazee walks up the stairs to her apartment and along the way, you pass several monsters. One was a male landshark resembling a red cookie cutter shark and you read his thoughts. "That blackout was just what I needed. The security cam short-circuited, 10,000 skulls. If anyone asks, I'll say it was a bank robbery." From what you heard, that landshark worked at a bank and had embezzled a lot of money.
"Tim," says Mazee. "I'm thinking about ordering pizza. What would you like?" "Oh," you say. "Nothing much. Just olives, mushrooms, chili peppers, anchovies, onions..." You stop yourself and realize that you're being greedy, no doubt from reading that greedy thought. Mazee then turns her head. "I wonder if Tim can read minds in his new condition?" "Yes," you say. "I can." Then you gasp and Mazee gives a look of surprise. "Well there goes my privacy." The were rat giantess thinks sarcastically to herself.
As Mazee reaches her apartment door, you see one of her neighbors trying to unlock the front door. This neighbor was a giant black skinned and red spotted were giraffe woman with a pear shaped figure and long reddish blonde hair. She also appeared to be naked From the looks of it she was trying to unlock her front door. "Hi Melba." Says Mazee as she unlocks her own door. You listen in to the giraffe woman's thoughts and they worry you. "Hi Melba yourself, Mazee. If she only knew what I did to that jerk at the diner this morning, she wouldn't be so friendly. I didn't even get a good price for the bones." You're beginning to wonder exactly how well you know the people in Mazee's apartment.
Once Mazee is in her apartment, she lays you down on the coffee table before she dials the phone to order her pizza. Once you're on the table, you nibble at a giant M&M from Mazee's candy dish but then you hear thoughts that further disturb you. "Harder Roger, harder. Rowr. Take it in deeper." "Oh man, Cynthia would kill me if she knew what I was doing, but how can I resist this nice piece of feline beauty." Then you grunt and hold your head. "I don't know what she's worried about. It's the perfect crime. We pay off our debts and collect on the life insurance policy only I don't have to die. It's a good thing I know the coroner pretty well." You grunt before you hear another thought that makes you even more nervous. "It ends tonight. I'll avenge you Ursula. It busts my balls that a spriggan of all creatures is running for mayor. A spriggan's just an ugly fairy and tomorrow night, he dies."
You let out a scream and Mazee looks at you nervously. "I hope some pizza calms him down," says Mazee. "Hello, Quba's Pizzeria?" You then read Mazee's mind. "The new art critic we hired told me about the man who runs this pizzeria. Apparently he was a failed artist but he still insists he's the best artist in the world. If he was, he wouldn't be selling pizza. Be careful now Mazee, Tim can read your mind, don't think about anything, especially don't think about how you've been wearing the same pair of panties for sixth months straight."
You mentally gag and so does Mazee who then looks at you in annoyance. "I hope you're happy you deeming Tim." She grumbles in her mind. "Not even." You say.
