Excuse me, I-

Oh, I dropped it. Hello? Is this thing broken?

My name is Dolores. I'm not sure I understand where I am. The kind folks at the... bureau tried to explain it, but I'm afraid so little made sense to me and so many words I've never heard before. My head isn't feeling quite right. Texas is a bit far from home, yet I've found my ranch and my horse as if somehow all the land has shifted overnight. My parents are missing, and our herd seems to also be lost. I'm afraid they won't know the way back.

Is this real? Where is Sweetwater? I was meant to go into town this morning. Has the train come by yet? Maybe there's still time to get back before dark.

	Well I wouldn’t know, that sort of thing isn’t my scene. The Mariposa isn’t the type of place for a lady except the kind looking to make money of their own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean sex workers. There's nothing wrong with them. They provide a valuable service. They should get paid for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn’t mean anything negative by it. We all need our livelihoods to get by. But I’ve been told more than once to move away lest I give the wrong impression of the types of goods offered there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's the wrong impression? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think she meant I was quite the type she wanted advertised and would drive away business. The Madame is a very stern woman. I wasn’t about to stick around and argue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She thought you wanted to be one but wasn't what she was looking for? I think a lot of beings would pay to have sex with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, she thought my standing in front of the saloon would turn potential customers off. I think when somebody pays, they expect a certain level of skill in return, and I’m afraid that I- Oh. That’s very kind of you. But that’s not the sort of thing... my heart already belongs to another. He will return to me someday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That depends on what they are paying for. He may not while you're here. I have lost my sister several times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Goodness. I wouldn’t know. ... I am sorry about your sisters. But I know Teddy. He’ll always find his way back to me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
