"Sheesh" thought Curlly, "What happened to no cruel and unusual punishment!" Curlly was dawdling on her way to the tower. It was to unfair for Northy not to be mad at the discovery then come out with some nasty old punishment! "Well old is as old does." muttered Curlly spitefully to the rock she had just kicked.

Really, what was so horrible about a tiny explosion in the kitchen. It's not like the quality of the food and hence life was threatened. At least not by me!

Curlly finished sucking off all the chocalte on her butterfinger as she came with in a few feet of the tower. Maybe if i hurry i'll have a little of my down time to actually enjoy. Maybe with that new guy working at systems. (Curlly has always had a thing for goatees.)

Just the thought of ops little love nest turned her tummy and she tossed the peanutbutter part of the butterfinger at the base of the tower. As she took a hesitant step forward the peanutbutter bar came flying at her to smack her in the leg!

"Ouch!" cried Curlly rubbing her leg. Grumbling Curlly walked over to the wall of the tower to investigate.....

...I should really be the section gardener thought Curlly. Nno killing people, just growing something pretty. oh well. The gardens around the tower were really rather pretty. Such a shame such a nice garden housed such an infamous place.

Coming to the end of the path were she'd hurled the candy bar, Curlly looked behind a rose bush and beheld a sticky, gooie, dirt encrusted blob. Iit was orangie-pinkish in hue and rather yelding when repeatedly poked with a stick. After turning it around on the ground curlly discovered that it was dome shaped 'bout the the size of her fist (hence the left side of her brain, hence the size of her heart) with one side flat. Curlly noticed that there was some kind of writing on the flat side. Running over to grab the hose, Curlly washed the "thing" off. bendind over and picking it up curlly read,"custom made for 'M' by maiden form".

Curlly jumped as she threw it as far from herself as she possibly could and shrieked, "Maddy wears false advertisements!" and started shaking because she'd touched it! she sat down rather fast. Once she calmed down a bit (although she did appear a little green around the edges) she relized that maddy was filling out her suits to an advantage until recently. I guess from losing one of her enhancements. Knowing that it could only get worse before it got better curlly got up, dusted off her tush, and headed into the tower.

Once inside Curlly looked around. "this isn't so bad. It only looks like it needs a little dusting and airing out," exclaimed Curlly who was vastly relieved.

So Curlly set out to do the light cleaning. Lastly she came to the bathroom. "wow! that's the largest tub i've ever seen!" after cleaning the bath room Curlly turned to leave when her curiousity got the better of her. She ran over to the (in her humble opinion) over done gilt mirror. She opened it to see what was behind it.

"...toothebrush, toothepaste, comb...well Ops definietly dosen't need a brush! ugh, nothing out of the ordinary." that's when Curlly's seeking fingers tripped open a secret compartment. Inside was a box of eferdent and a case shaped in a semi circle. On the top it said, "for the after dinner snack, he he he."

Taking it down Curlly opened it to reveal a pair of dentures! "yuck!" thought Curlly, "these babies are coming with me. who knows were they'll turn up next"
