"Was that just a line of bunk you handed them?" Simon asked as Rose came back. "Or were you serious?"
"About what part?" The pretty girl began actuating controls to take the pair back to Las Vegas. "Part of it is completely true."
"The part about it being, basically, carmelized dreams." Simon crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
"Oh, that," Rose smiled. "That'll be a good enough answer for many of them. Those that don't like it wouldn't like the truth anyway. That'll keep the lazy ones from digging too deep into the nature of the stuff."
"It's not nice to play with the perceptions of the locals, Rose."
"No, dear, it isn't." She smiled and flip the last control. "But, if they're going to ask questions they're better suited to answering, I'm going to give them the answer that's easy for them to hear."
