Delia (to Mouse): Aww... I'm not too far. Besides, you'll see me plenty at the club and when I'll bring Tesla over to play w/ Otto. Think of it this way. Now you get to walk around naked w/ Eep w/out worrying about me seeing anything I shouldn't.
Mouse (to Delia): lol, it's cute that you think Eep would walk around naked... cuz, he doesn't. And, I know I'll see you all of the time, it was just nice having you for a roommate. :-)
Delia (to Mouse): Aww, thanks. I suppose I can see why he wouldn't being all corners, straight lines and elbows. He might snag on something. lol
Mouse (to Delia): heehee, it's more because he has hangups from childhood about it. Apparently, walking around naked wasn't really encouraged. Makes sense though, since he was raised by his mom & then when she passed away, lived with his dad & brothers.
Delia (to Mouse): Show me the children that ARE encouraged to walk around naked. That's the fun of it! You're an adult and you don't have to worry about what the parents think
Mouse (to Delia): Well, my parents were hippies, so I was allowed to, but my Nan didn't really like it so much.
Delia (to Mouse): Well… touché! But my point is still valid!
Mouse (to Delia): heehee.
A few hours later:
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, do I have some dirt for you!
Vincent (to Poppy): RLLY. Do tell! Do tell!
Poppy (to Vincent): Apparently, my boss just had a meeting with the other owners of Pandora's Box. They're making the manager of the club & one of them be the contact person for their account. Apparently, they're going to give Inga the choice of being a silent partner or buying her out completely. They're not very happy about her being escorted by the police out of the club on opening night.
Vincent (to Poppy): Oh my! I wldn't imagine. If she wasn't such a horrible troll of a person, I might feel srry 4 her.
Poppy (to Vincent): I wonder, if the police pressed charges against her, honey?
Vincent (to Poppy): I don't know, but I'm DYING 2 know. I wonder if the police det will call again, or if they have all they need frm us. All that dye she slathers on her hair must have finally addled her brain. I can't imagine what she was thinking.
Poppy (to Vincent): Spite will make you do crazy things, honey...
Vincent (to Poppy): Huh. I suppose so. I rlly wldn't know. I always thought being fabulous was the best revenge.
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, I would so love to be a fly on the wall at that club tonight... Maybe, after the work party, I should go & spy.
Vincent (to Poppy): U totally shld! U cld be our sexy goth Mata Hari.
Poppy (to Vincent): You do know how to entice a girl into espionage, honey.
Vincent (to Poppy): If I'm not careful I'll be tapped by the CIA. I do hope the CIA agent is cute if he wants 2 tap me. :-P
Poppy (to Vincent): I would think they'd have to be, honey, isn't that what the C stands for? :-P
Vincent (to Poppy): It SHLD b. They're supposed 2 b our nation's finest, aren't they?
Poppy (to Vincent): Well, then I have a plan for this evening... it's a good thing I'm wearing a black dress tonight.
Vincent (to Poppy): I can't wait 2 see what ur up 2, darling!
Poppy (to Vincent): I'll see if I can take some photos of the club, the staff & the crowd while I'm there.
Vincent (to Poppy): Oooo! Pls do!
Several hours later:
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, I've infiltrated the enemy headquarters.
Vincent (to Poppy): Excellent work, Agent Hotpants! What's ur 20?
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, I've got 3 20's, but I don't know why that's relevant.
Vincent (to Poppy): No, it's... Unimportant, sweetness. What's the club like? How about the clientele? And most importantly, what r u wearing?
Poppy (to Vincent): The club is a lot of red velvet & purple lighting. There's an awful lot of vampyres in here... and I'm wearing a black cocktail number with fringe.
Vincent (to Poppy): Vampyres? Oh Lord. I didn't realize Satanica went in 4 that kind of crowd, tho I'm not at all surprised. Ur outfit sounds like it's the most interesting thing there. Ooo! Send me some pics.
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, if I get asked what clan or bloodline I belong to one more time there will be actual blood...
Vincent (to Poppy): Sweetie, I hate 2 tell u this b/c I know ur feelings on it, ur surrounded by LARPers. Winston isn't there, is he?
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh god, honey, I don't know, what does he look like?
Vincent (to Poppy): Big, shaggy, staring, wearing awkward fitting clothing & staring @ u frm a dark corner. Tho if it's a bunch of vampyres, I prolly just described 88% of the club. Let's just say I had to stop playing The Ruse b/c a gentleman of my quality was a bit 2 rare a commodity.
Poppy (to Vincent): Well, he could be 3 or 4 of the young "men" staring at me. Does he wear a cape, honey?
Vincent (to Poppy): He might. R there actually ppl in CAPES? Tell me they're opera jackets. I may have 2 go in there & slap some ppl 4 crimes against fashion. (to Mouse, Eep, Delia & Leon) OMG. Who wants 2 see pics of Pandora's Box? It's totes what ur expecting!
Eep (to Vincent): Why the fuck do we care?
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, I'm sorry to say there are actually three people with capes.
Vincent (to Poppy): Oh dear sweet God. RUN! (to Eep) B/c I may forgive, but I never 4get. :-P
Mouse (to Vincent): I kinda wanna see but I'm scared.
Vincent (to Mouse): Oh no! I think you wanna. >:-}
Mouse (to Vincent): Alright, show me the pictures.
Vincent (to Mouse): Accrding 2 Poppy, there's LOTS of velvet, purple lights & vampyres in capes.
Mouse (to Vincent): Wow... That's exactly what I was expecting...Vincent (to Mouse): And here some of them are!
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh god, that club can have them.Poppy (to Vincent): So, I made nice with one of the DJs & I got some more dirt on Satanica.
Vincent (to Poppy): I'd love 2 hear ur report, Agent Hotpants. (to Mouse) Told u. The crowd is made up of a lot of LARPers, apparently. Poppy counted 3 lads in capes.
Poppy (to Vincent): So, it looks like she was arrested, charged, & made bail And, honey, you should totally grill your sister about this DJ. He's like a taller, swishier version of you.
Vincent (to Poppy): REALLY? Good 2 know that Satanica is getting what she deserves, but tell me MORE of this interesting DJ.
Poppy (to Vincent): He goes by the name Ripper, he is gorgeous & has excellent taste as he likes my dress. I may have a bit of a crush.
Vincent (to Poppy): Taller, swishier me? Who WLDN'T have a crush? I think *I* have a crush. (to Mouse) So, who is this Ripper DJ & y haven't u introduced me?
Mouse (to Vincent): Umm, his real name is Jacob Rathbone, he was deejaying at a club across the bay... Why are you asking?
Vincent (to Mouse): Poppy met him at Satanica's place & accrding 2 her, he's a taller, more swishy me. Y WLDN'T I b asking?
Mouse (to Vincent): Because, I worried that if you two met the world might explode...
Vincent (to Mouse): Vry true. I'm not sure if 1 room cld handle or hold all that sexiness.
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, he's finishing his set & then we're coming your way...
Vincent (to Poppy): REALLY? Do go on.
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, just imagine it... We'll be there shortly. He's REALLY looking forward to meeting you.
Vincent (to Poppy): Darling, I don't deserve u.
Poppy (to Vincent): Awww, honey, you say the sweetest things. We're on our way.
Vincent (to Poppy): Looking forward 2 seeing u. Seeing u both. ;-P
20 minutes later:
Eep (to Mouse): Oh God... Poppy just showed up and it looks like she's found another one like your brother.
Mouse (to Eep): Oh geez, she brought Ripper here to meet Vincent... This might be a little awkward.
Vincent (to Poppy): Have I mentioned lately that u r a wonderful woman?
Poppy (to Vincent): So, you like him?
Vincent (to Poppy): Darling, he's GORGEOUS. I wonder if he likes boys. I HOPE he likes boys.
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, I think he does...
Vincent (to Poppy): Excellent,
Eep (to Mouse): Christ! Should we run away now? We could go out for a smoke and just never come back.
Mouse (to Eep): I'm tempted to say yes. It should be fine. Ripper is a pro & he won't want to embarrass himself too much in public.
Eep (to Mouse): Ripper might be a professional, but what about Vincent?
Mouse (to Eep): Well, Ripper isn't as big a perv as Poppy & Vincent might like, so they might be disappointed.
Eep (to Mouse): I hope they get bored or disappointed soon because watching them swoon over this guy in tandem is really disturbing.
Poppy (to Mouse): So, honey, is it true that Ripper asked you out & you said no? How could you!?! Are you blind!?!
Mouse (to Eep): He's actually a pretty decent guy, so I hope they're not too pervy with him. (to Poppy) Look you may like the idea of making out with someone who looks vaguely like my brother, but I don't.
Eep (to Mouse): I can ask Delia to throw water on them if they look like they're getting out of control.
Poppy (to Vincent): Awww, where is he running off to?
Vincent (to Poppy): Awwww. I think we might have shocked the poor lad.
Mouse (to Vincent & Poppy): What the hell did you two say to Ripper?
Vincent (to Mouse): Nothing 2 terribly sordid. Y?
Mouse (to Vincent): Well, he made a beeline over this way & is now chatting with Eep.
Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. He seems alright. He's been hiding from the Perv Twins.
Vincent (to Mouse): Awww. All that talent being wasted on a straight boy. The universe is not fair.
