[Well fuck, she is upset. Why though? They've had plenty of sex since she's arrived here, that's enough right?]

[...this isn't something they want to get into right now though.]

No, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't CURIOUS about it, even if he's not my ideal. The man seems far too engrossed in himself to give anybody a good time.

[pummelgranite]

He's way into himself.
Thats kind of the appeal?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

What, he's into himself so he won't ask you too many questions?

Sounds like a real great time. I love it when men guess where my clit might be.

[pummelgranite]

Fuck you.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[More dots.]

Why? Because I've become an unwilling voyeur into your life after I was dead, or because you don't like my opinion?

[pummelgranite]

Because you don't get to judge me for what I did after you. I asked and he said yes, and it was great . It was so good I actually slept through the night without seeing your corpse. I felt alive for the first time in weeks.

Is that what you want?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

It helps.

I'm the last person able to judge anybody, and I'm not psychic. I wasn't there, if you want me to understand these things, you have to tell me.

Otherwise all I have is a memory I don't want of fucking the guy who thought it would be just dandy if I suffered alone for the rest of my short life.

[pummelgranite]

[ dots. for a long time. like, embaressingly long. ten minutes minimum. ]

Not saying he's not an arsehole.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Well okay, she fucked that, what a great big surprise. She's getting her jacket on to go out... somewhere when her phone dings again.]

Not saying I'm not either. I fucked Inanna, what did I expect?

[pummelgranite]

Do you want a drink?
Or 20?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

You said something about a party?

[When in doubt, go be seen.]

[pummelgranite]

Thats a housewarming party for kids. Also not for a week.

One of Inanna's old devotees haas a set in De Chima, though. Might not suck.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

'For kids' she says-- like that's ever deterred me.

Alright, you pick: twenty drinks, or we stage a coup if the set sucks.

[pummelgranite]

Those don't seem mutually exclusive.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

I'm flattered that you think I have anything in me that's worth singing while twenty drinks in.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh.

[ There's another suspicious pause for dots. ]

OK, better idea than ruining some infant's night.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Boo, I hate it when you're thoughtful.

Pick me up on that nice bike of yours?

[pummelgranite]

[ She was still strangely knotted inside, but they had a gameplan at least. And there's no night that wouldn't be improved riding with Luci.

Sure. See you in 20.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[And twenty minutes later, Luci is standing outside of her church, phone in hand, waiting to be picked up.]

[pummelgranite]

[ And she's more-or-less on time. How did she make it so fast? How does she use magical underground powers in Miami? Who cares.

FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY ]

New outfit?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

It's my bar shirt. Get a lot of drinks like this.

[She throws her leg over the back of the bike and wraps her arms around Persephone.]

You have a place in mind?

[pummelgranite]

How do you feel about Karaoke?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Luci chuckles in Persephone's ear.] Are we going to bring a house down?

[pummelgranite]

That's why we're going to a dive.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Fantastic. [She grins.] Let's go.
