Ugh. I'm sick of being on the council already and I've only been to a couple meetings. "I can second you at the next meeting. Having food that hasn't come out of cans would be beneficial to patients." I offer. "But I'm not going to stick my neck out…
Anger flashes in my eyes. It's her own damn fault she broke that tooth and she should know better than to tell me what to do.
"I do think it'll be good for the show, but it'll also give you a chance to shine- you're a better performer than her." It…
I think he's being too hard on himself, but it's always good to push them to be better. "Was just talking to Velour about the two of you doin' an act together." I say
OOC: Read Chiffon incoming.
I raise an eyebrow at her comment, but don't say anything. She's not even one tenth the lay Silk is.
I go about the rest of my list- what was it again? Why don't I have my own frakking assistant?!?
That is incredibly tempting. I got back to work as soon as I was out of the infirmary bed. And I haven't left the Ascendant in weeks.
"Yeah." I agree. "That sounds good."
Yep, Felt's the one. Like I said- some girl wanted her, and Felt was amenable, so we did the deal. That was a couple years ago. It might have been a client's kid- hell, even mine. I don't care- as far as I'm concerned it's Felt's kid and that's that…
"Ugh." I don't even want to think about that right now. I'd rather just lay here with Metro for hours.
But I have patients to see. And he's right- the sooner I can get out of the chair the sooner I can operate on Ollie and hopefully get all those t…
My clients expect to not have to concern themselves about breeding- they have other thoughts on their minds. Someone expressed interest in the girl and she was amenable, but I ended up taking a loss because she was pregnant. Some clients are into pr…
We've screwed- I audition everyone in my show. Since then it's happened a few times, but mostly when she doesn't get booked by private clients and she's lonely.
They aren't slaves, but I do require them to earn out before they can leave without pay…
The numbers for the show are all tease- I save the rest for the private clients. "Or he, you." I suggest. We could alternate, even- get them coming back to see both versions. The jingle wheels spin in my head.
I'll play along for a while, but I'm n…
My ass hurts, but it's probably Janco's therapy doing that. I don't care. I wrap my hands around the back of his neck and kiss between panting breaths. "I'd ask you to be gentle with me... but that's not really what I want." I whisper in his ear.
This is... odd. It's one thing for a girl to want to make sure her spot is safe, but today I feel like territory that's being marked. Repeatedly. Not that I mind... I rub the whiskers on my jaw, looking her up and down.
"You need to make your act s…
"No, dear, you're not." I say, not breaking eye contact. "Although most of my crew is always on the market for the right price." I smile.
"You're worth more here, though he offered me a gas generator for you." I tell her.
I jerk my hands back just an inch- not taking them off the table, just testing him- a wicked grin on my face. Almost before he finishes his sentence my mouth is on his, exploring.
"No. I didn't say that." I say after kissing him. "But I won't let six criminals loose in my infirmary."
I'm thinking this might be a matter for the council. It's not my ship. Not my call. The problem with that is possibly exposing my own past. I d…
They didn't used to be so competitive- I'm not sure what it's about. Not that I mind the attention...
"Yes. He made an offer, but I didn't like it." I answer her. "Were you hoping I would make the deal?"
I work to cultivate the appearance of a sta…
"Well we were in stasis for a hundred years." I say. "It's not my job to judge..." The thoughts that were swirling around in my head start to melt away.
I close my eyes for a second. "Mmm." It's been... a while, for Metro and me. Stupid chair.
"No omissions, though I do have some weird memories from stasis..." I touch the ring that isn't there. "They didn't say, though our group was more volunteers than convicts. There was money for volunteers. Rumor was that Svenja killed someone, though…
I smile back at him. "Well, I mean, you could lock me up..." I hold my hands up, wrists together. "I volunteered, remember? Running away from my violent boyfriend?"
"Names, ages and crimes. The chronometers were suspended. That's... odd." I tell him. "I don't know what to do- I don't think they should stay in stasis, but I don't know that I can just let them out." I chew on my thumbnail a bit.
