[TOWN] Random Locations Thread II

[Recaiden]

And . . . ?
That wasn't so hard, was it? she asks him, smiling as she resumes walking along.

[Je dit Viola]

No, honestly, nothing...
No, it wasn't. he says, smiling and walking next to her.

[Recaiden]

I imagine they're just about back to the inn.
Cleo nods, smiling and looking to him.

[Je dit Viola]

I imagine so also.

He smiles back.

Nope, no white text.

And what do you know? They're pretty much back.


And I have to deadtime right now.

Goodnight!

[Recaiden]

Cleo goes to open the door and let Zophiel in.

Goodnight. And no, there was no white text.

[Beans]

The curtain rises on a blissfully happy, half-awake Vo.

[Dirk Kris]

Blissful happy Delilah there? Could that have something to do with it?

Anyway, Delilah is out on the balcony, undressed, smoking what appears to be a cigarette made of illegal substances. She leans her elbows on the railing, watching the town below with a bemused smirk.

[Beans]

Vo gets up and watches Delilah.
After a long moment, she speaks.
... Thank you.

[Dirk Kris]

Delilah looks over her shoulder and smiles. "For what, Vo? I was just having fun. I SHOULD be thanking YOU."

[Beans]

She goes and hugs Lilah from behind.
In that case, you're welcome, sexy.

[Dirk Kris]

Delilah chuckles and takes a long drag from her illegal-substance cigarette. She exhales a plume of smoke and rests her head on Vo's shoulder. "I think I should be getting outta here pretty soon."

[Beans]

... Huh?
Vo goes a little tense.

[Dirk Kris]

Delilah turns and looks Vo in the face. "What? I told you I'm not your typical girlfriend. I can't sit idle. If we hit a lull, I gotta find something to do." She shrugs slightly. "I love being with you, and you're certainly never a drag, but it sounds like this whole 'running a city' thing is gonna keep you chained here for a while."

[Beans]

Vo puts on a smile for Lilah.
Yeah, well... yeah.
... Want a drink before you go?

[Dirk Kris]

"You gonna spike it and keep me chained up in a dungeon for your personal use somewhere?" Something about Delilah's tone indicates that the idea intrigues her. "Yeah, I'm up for a drink." She notes Vo's...reluctance...and tries not to care. After all, she's a cold-hearted merc, right? RIGHT?!

[Beans]

Actually, how 'bout I spike my own drink and let you chain me up? She giggles---a pale, hollow giggle---and gets the brandy and two glasses from the nearby cabinet.

[Dirk Kris]

Delilah creeps up behind Vo and catches her wrists, spinning her to press her back against the wall. "Speak your mind, Vocusta. I deal with enough people who lie to me. Tell me what you're thinking." Her red lips are tantalizingly close.

[Beans]

Lilah, I'll be fine. Sure, I might mope for a few hours when you leave, but I'll buck up and build some new laser cannons or something.
I'm not exactly jumping for joy at the prospect of you leaving, but I'm not gonna be cutting myself and writing poems about it either---or tying you down.

She gives Lilah a kiss, then tries to snatch the cigarette and get a puff or two off it.
By the way, where'd you get this stuff? 'S pretty damn good.

[Dirk Kris]

Delilah is kissed and chuckles quietly as Vo takes it from her. "It's a secret." She watches Vo for a moment in open admiration, then leans forward and kisses her again. "You DO know that I don't want to go, right?" She releases her boss and steps back, considering. "How about this? How about YOU be the boss, and I be your bodyguard? Then you can order me to do whatever you want, and people won't think to use me to get to you. I can run patrols, tinker in a workshop, stuff like that. Plenty to keep me busy. To keep me close. Whatcha think?" She smirks, a flash of hope in her eyes.

[Beans]

Vo grins.
Yeah. That sounds just about perfect.

[Dirk Kris]

"I'll drink to that." Delilah grabs the bottle of brandy and pours a bit onto Vo's bare shoulder. She watches it trickle a moment, then licks the shoulder clean of liquor, nibbling a bit in the process.

[Beans]

She giggles for real.
Mmm.
She grabs the bottle back, handing back the not-quite-tobacco cig. Then she pours a little into the area between Lilah's collarbone and neck, and licks it clean.
Two can play that game.

[Dirk Kris]

"Mmmmmm. Does this mean I get the day off, Boss?" Delilah digs her nails into Vocusta's back, growling quietly.

[Beans]

Hmm... yeah, why not?
She nips up and down Lilah's neck.

[Dirk Kris]

"Did we find the linen closet yet? I think we'll need new sheets after this. Body shots tend to be messy." Delilah chuckles and saunters over towards the bed, taking a long drink from the bottle as she goes.

[Beans]

Yeah.
Heh. The bigger the mess, the more fun we can have...

[Dirk Kris]

Curtain time!

[Beans]

Wow, these two are curtaining nigh-constantly.
Maybe they're both mutants, like X-Men!
And their powers are both... super-libido.

[Dirk Kris]

Meh, new love. It happens.

[Beans]

As the curtain rises, Vo rubs her fingers together.
I'm all sticky now... but damn, that was fun.
