Don Lothario--Day 2

And so begins day two of Don's life...with some missing photos...

Headed out already, Don? And how did you get here so quickly?

Of course I got here quickly, no time to waste!

That's the Lin's house, right?

Well, I did say I was going to stop by to meet the other sister last night.

That you did. Are you certain she's home?

If they work at night, they're home during the day.


See?

Would you like to come inside?

That was rather fast...

So what, she's hot.


Sure, I have some time to stop by. Roxie, right? I met your sister last night.

Yup, and you're Don Lothario. She mentioned you'd stop by this morning. How does that work, though? Don't you have a job?


Well, not yet, but you have to since I didn't see you last night. What do you do?


I'm in the music track. I know being a musician is supposed to be tough and all, but it shouldn't take long for me to get to the top, I have natural talent.


Your sister told me this side of the house is yours. Is it? It's pretty cool.


Oh, do you like it? Yeah, I was going for this modern theme, to suit my music image and all, but Shirley was all "You can't do that, it's our parents' house, it should stay as it is!" And then, I said "Well, our parents aren't here any more, I'll do what I want." So we split the house in half so she could keep our parents' stuff.


So it's just you and your sister here...are you single?


Are you kidding me? Does he know who he's talking to?


Obviously you haven't been around here long...But yeah, I'm as single as single can be. I'm a free bird and all that jazz.


[Insert missing slide with butterfly speech bubble]


Well, you're much more colorful than your sister, like a butterfly flying around a garden...

You bet I am.

[Insert missing slide of painting in speech bubble]


In fact, you're as colorful as one of those paintings in the art museum in the middle of town...


Hmmm, that's rather nice, but not very original. I'll show him what real flirting is about...


If you were a newspaper, I'd go through allll the pages.


She...she's flirting...with me? That's my job!


But it's not too bad. Less work for me!


Be still my heart!


Your headband is really cool...


It even matches your house!

Wow, he's really bad at this...


And your earrings--

I...have to be somewhere, so we'll have to do this again sometime.

Huh?

Er...Don, perhaps it's best you head back home. There's someone suspicious outside of the front door.

Someone knows where I live?! I gotta go hide somewhere--

Ahhh, so it's her.

Her? A member of the female persuasion? I'm on my way!


Are you sure it's a woman?

How could you mistake that for a man?

Well, the hat...

Don...look at those glasses.

They do look familiar...

Perhaps this will ring a bell--'dipping a pen in her--

Oohhhh, Constance!

Well, Constance, are you here to take me up on my offer?

Hardly. Though I think we started on the wrong foot. So I decided to stop by after work.

So that's why you're dressed like a man!

...What?

Backpedal, Don, if you want to keep her around...

I mean...would you like to come in and tell me all about your day?

...Slightly better...

I suppose it couldn't hurt...you're not the type of man to take advantage of a lady, are you?

Only if she's willing.

I have to run an errand, but feel free to walk around the house, it shouldn't take long.

Are you sure about that?

Not like you're a criminal or anything, right?

No...

Don, are you sure about this?

Not like I have anything worth stealing, anyway. And I'd know who did it, anyway.

True enough, I suppose...

Ah, this house.

Yeah, I heard they broke up and now is the best time to get to know her.

A rebound, hm?

Exactly.


It's a loooong walk, though...

I'm sure you can survive, seeing as how you've been running around town since you got here...

So I heard you sent your husband out on a rocket.

Nooo, we still live together. That's the back of my daughter over there.


Well, how are you making a living now that you're divorced?

Oh, I'm in the business track. Just starting out, but I just need to flatter the boss enough and I should be able to afford a lawyer soon enough and split this stuff as it should be split. I'll take him to the cleaners...



Sooo there's no hope of reconciliation? *


No way. The weak-willed idiot can do whatever his father wants him to, but I don't plan on listening to that old goat. We are no longer related.


Well then, can I e-mail you sometime?


And then, maybe I can...clean out your files?


Hmmm, I do believe this cub is flirting with me. And I could use a young stud to...clean out my files...


The facial hair could use some work, though...makes him look old...


You're quite a lovely flower. I would have thought you and your daughter were sisters!


Ohhhh, that was a good one...

Actually, that was, surprisingly...maybe she's a good influence?


Yes, I think this could work...


Wait...at home already, Don?

Yeah, I'm beat.

But...but you were just with June Shallow?

Gotta keep 'em wondering. I left after a quick chat with her. It was late anyway.

And Constance?

She was gone when I got back.

Anything missing?

Of course not. She left a note, though. Something about how the place depressed her.

Oh...really...

Yeah, can I sleep, now?

Sure, sure...

Thank you. Tomorrow's going to be another busy day.
