While the psychic's away, the princess will play

Sal: *smells delicious food down the road*

*Vaingloria grins*

Vaingloria: That's right Sal, pursue your happiness.

Sally: *tries to resist*

*Sal stops*

Sal (thought): What am I doing?

Sally: why can i only think of food...

*She starts seeing El Paso Grande*

Sal: No...

Epg: come to me my love

*Sal strains, trying to drag herself away*

EPG: Yes...you are drawn to me, like a paperclip to a comically oversized cartoon magnet

*sally struggles, seeing herself as fat in a window reflection

*EPG opens his arms out to her*

Sally: just...a small snack...

*Sal gleefully eats some churros*

*she keeps eating*

Vaingloria: its almost a shame hes so easy

*Princess Vaingloria laughs*

PV (thought): Ah well. Onward.

PV: by the time they snap out of it, this town will be mine

*She goes off, beaming at the possibilities*

*inside sally's mind*

* El Paso Grande rubs Sal's tummy as he feeds her burritos*

El Paso Grande: I knew you'd come back to me.

Sally: whuh...how...so much food...

*El Paso Grande pats her belly*

El Paso Grande: Don't worry my darling, I will look after you.

Sally: n..no. not again *she struggles to get up as take out begins to build up around her*

*El Paso Grande gently pushes her down*

El Paso Grande: You don't want to go back to that ungrateful rabble. They don't appreciate you.

Sally: but...the city needs me....us....

* EPG laughs*

EPG: You work so hard, protecting them and for what? To be insulted and ignored.

Sally: you...you have a point *her gut rumbles and bulges*
