Welcome to the world of Worldly where we feast all night. All those things you once thought wrong - here they all are right! Worldly’s citizens are many. Membership is free. Criminals are here as well as high society. Come here and forget your sorrows and forget your past. Leave your ethics at the door too. Here they will not last. Come consume the fatted calf. Imbibe cherry wine. Love is a four letter word. Lust, though, is divine! Little boys and pretty girls are also here to serve you (if you lean that way, of course). All things are on the menu! Worship with us at the alter. The sacrament for sin is your blood lust or that rush you get beneath your skin. We have got a secret leader with the gift of charm. Succumb to him. We will relax you. Let us prick your arm. Our special members love green color and they love their gold. You might qualify one day. . . Just do as you're told. Finally, remember this. In Worldly you will be with peers who think and act like you (should you need sympathy).
