Our town offers to a select few the warm and reassuring comfort of "genuine" companionship. Thanks to that and our fabulous mentor, we're shielded from the terrifying banks of fog surrounding our sparkling walls."

So, I hope you'll be up to my standards when you knock on my door. Actually, I don't mind if you don't; If someone's not up to my standards it always makes me feel better about myself."

While I find them superb, a guy with a fanny pack who sneaked into town says I resemble a frog-burger, whatever that means. My [b]folder[/b] keeps track of the upcoming appointments for new citizens who haven't received their social status yet. It accompanies me in every shift of my beloved job, elevating me just enough to feel comfortable. I'm a rather simple man and don't ask for much more. My [b]leg[/b]? A relic of an encounter with someone who thought they had a higher social status than me; naturally, they were put back in their shameful place."
