Profiles in Villainy

Lil’ Slugger

The enigmatic menace known only as Lil’ Slugger is a corporal manifestation of panic and anxiety, a presence generated and intensified through mass hysteria who plagued the bureau of Musashino, Tokyo, with a series of brutal and unprovoked physical attacks.  Appearing as a young adolescent, riding inline skates and wielding a golden baseball bat, the Lil’ Slugger would target those individuals experiencing extreme psychological duress.  The rising fear of his attacks only acted to intensify people’s stress, offering the entity greater power and leading to more and more assaults.  It was not long before the wide spread panic had engulfed nearly all of Musashino.

Ironically, those who were assaulted by Lil’ Slugger found their lives actually improving.  Having a clearly identified figure to act as the focus of their anxieties provided an odd sense of relief… as though it was easier to fear a boogyman rather than the more diffuse stressors of ever day life.  

As the specter of Lil’ Slugger continued to spread throughout Musashino, a pair of investigators, Keiichi Ikari and Mitsuhiro Maniwa, were tasked with tracking down the nebulous origins of the threat and apprehending the culprit.  Through painstaking effort, these detectives were able to discover that Lil’ Slugger had inadvertently been created by a celebrated cartoonists named Tsukiko Sagi who was coping with the accidental death of her dog.  

The young woman had been walking her dog and accidentally let go of its leash.  The dog wandered into traffic and was hit and killed by a car.   The trauma of it all was too much for Tsukiko to contend with. She created a subconscious fiction that the dog’s death was not her fault but rather it had been killed by a delinquent boy on skates who bludgeoned the dog with a baseball bat.  

The psychic energy of this lie somehow manifested the Lil’ Slugger into being.  It was an embodiment of trauma and denial that continued to feed off of the stress and anxiety of the city.  Once the truth of his inception was brought to life, once the unconscious origins of the entity were made conscious, Lil’ Slugger ceased to exist.  

The villain did not have any actual dialogue, yet his vocal sound effects were provided by actor Daisuke Sakaguchi.  The Lil’ Slugger appeared in the anime maxi-series, Paranoia Agent, debuting on May 28th, 2005.

what is the biggest object you've stuck up that tight little pussy?

I haven't had much in there other than my own fingers but the biggest thing is embarrassing because it's not even that big.

It was a souvenir Louisville slugger and it's almost 3 of my fingers in diameter at the thickest. I used to fuck myself silly with it. I would spend entire nights edging. Sometimes upwards of 7 hours, and I wouldn't stop until I was either sore or I fell asleep with it inside of me.

I only ever got the thick end in once and I could barely move it. The other end was usually just big enough for me to handle.
