Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, you'll never guess who I saw sitting in the café with Ripper this morning... Satanica. She looked haggard.
Vincent (to Poppy): Well now, isn't that interesting?
Poppy (to Vincent): Yeah honey, the discussion looked pretty heated... Plus, She looked like hell & a million years old.
Vincent (to Poppy): I know I said I wasn't the vindictive type, but GOOD.
Poppy (to Vincent): I know, honey, I took a picture of the scene with my phone, so we could cherish it for posterity. A bit cruel, I know but I think she deserves it, after everything she's done.
Vincent (to Poppy): Darling, I cldn't agree more. I've been trying not 2 let it vex me quite so much, but I'm still livid @ her.
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, it's quite understandable & I think you're quite justified in being vexed with her. Vex away!
Vincent (to Poppy):Vry true. Ignoring the fact that I had 1 of the most hellish weeks in recent memory... it just burns me up that she tried 2 hurt ppl I care abt ovr something as dumb as a club rivalry. It makes me want 2 throw makeup remover in her face & smash out her car windshield. & that is SO not like me. LOL
Poppy (to Vincent): Honey, I know it's not really the right time to say this... but it's sexy when you're all macho & vengeance.
Vincent (to Poppy): Darling, I don't think there's ever a WRONG time 2 tell me I'm sexy. Wld u like 2 catch a late lunch w/ me & see what else u can get fired up ovr?
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, why don't you come over to my place, order chinese, and we'll see what happens? ;-)
Vincent (to Poppy): I'll b there in few. In my Chinese dressing gown. ;-}
Poppy (to Vincent): I'll just have my chinese fans. ;-)
An hour later:
Ripper (to Mouse): Hey, you wouldn't, by any chance, need a third DJ at Drac's Daughter? Satanica just propositioned me a few hours ago and when I said no thanks, she fired me. So, it looks like I'm out of a gig...
Mouse (to Ripper): Oh god, I am so sorry, that really blows. I warned you about her... I can ask Sasha. It would actually be nice to have a 3rd.
Ripper (to Mouse): If not, I can probably get my gig back at the Metro... but, I was really enjoying not spinning any dubstep, you know.
A couple hours later:
Mouse (to Eep): Hey handsome, how's your day going?
Eep (to Mouse): Not too bad. I've spent most of it sketching. What're you up to today?
Mouse (to Eep): I went grocery shopping & I cleaned my house... It was very exciting. Whatcha sketching?
Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Um, just doodles and stuff. You know. I'm actually wondering if I did get another tattoo, what I'd get. I think visually, so, um sketching. I don't know why I feel embarrassed by that ...
Mouse (to Eep): You shouldn't be embarrassed about that. Tattoos are very personal and permanent, all of mine represent something important. Not, that I have a ton of them or anything... but you SHOULD think about them.
Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. Mine too. I waffled on getting another one for a long time.
Mouse (to Eep): Speaking of tattoos, I didn't mean to put you on the spot about drawing me one. I totally understand if you don't want to.
Eep (to Mouse): No. No. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that, um, well I be afraid to fuck it up. And, I guess I was just a little shocked you'd want me to do something you were gonna ink on your body forever.
Mouse (to Eep): Well, you're important to me & I'd like to commemorate that fact.
An hour or so later:
Delia (to Mouse & Eep): so have either of you heard if satanica is going to be charged?
Mouse (to Delia): She was indeed... Ripper said the detectives came for her on opening night & her partners are renegotiating her part in the club.
Delia (to Mouse): huh.. I wonder how strong their evidence is? I hope she gets what's coming to her for that shit... I heard about her getting hauled away. Didn't hear much after that. I've been preoccupied with moving. Ripper is her DJ that the wonder pervs were trying to maul?
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah. Satanica fired him today, because she propositioned him & he refused.
Delia (to Mouse): Um... he can sue her and her club for that shit.
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah, but it didn't happen at the club & there were no witnesses.
Delia (to Mouse): huh. Smart of her. But THAT is exactly why I would use the newspaper on her. To keep her from getting dracs sued. well that sucks. What's he going to do now?
Mouse (to Delia): He asked me about spinning at Drac's, we could use a 3rd DJ, since I take out of town gigs from time to time but, I don't know if it would be a good idea with the perv twins.
Delia (to Mouse): Yeeeah. I could always bring the newspaper back you know. Sasha thinks its funny.
Mouse (to Delia): Well, I'm gonna ask Sasha & see what he says. I mean, having 2 hot boy DJs can't possibly hurt.
Delia (to Mouse): Seriously. Ripper is nice to look at. He's got this pretty but still masculine thing going. Which is nice.
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah... god, we need some more women working at the bar.
Delia (to Mouse): ha! Yeah.. we've only got 2.5 now...
Mouse (to Delia): We need a slightly younger girl who is cute but not as pretty as either of us. :-P
Delia (to Mouse): I concur. We don't need to be upstaged by a newbie.
A few hours later:
Delia (to Vincent): So, sugar butt, you ready to get up and dance on the bar again tonight?
Vincent (to Delia): Honey, I'm ALWAYS ready. I'll be sure 2 wear something saucy. ;-}
Delia (to Vincent): Yeah I'm not sure what to wear myself. I know its been awhile but should I pull out my leathers?
Vincent (to Delia): The answer to leathers is ALWAYS yes. Ooo! I'll get mine out 2. We can match. :D
Delia (to Vincent): I think maybe you need to bring some clothes over here and help me root around and figure something out. If we're gonna make this a regular thing we might as well look damn good doin it!
Vincent (to Delia): Of course! There's no other way 2 do anything.
Delia (to Vincent): Here, I'll shoot you my new address. Then we can play dress up lol
Vincent (to Delia): Faboo! See u in a few. (to Mouse) Does ur boy own leather pants?
Mouse (to Vincent): Um, I believe so... Why?
Vincent (to Mouse): We're going 4 a theme. Wear something sexy & leather!
Mouse (to Eep): Hey, do you have a pair of leather pants?
Eep (to Mouse): Uh... yeah. Why?
Mouse (to Eep): Apparently, Delia & Vincent are planning something... I'm wearing my NY pants. :-)
Eep (to Mouse): Oh Lord. Why am I filled with dread?
Mouse (to Eep): Well, I figure dressing the part isn't that big of a deal... Anything else they're on their own.
Eep (to Mouse): Seriously. After Thanksgiving, I really don't trust ANY of Vincent's "themes."
Mouse (to Eep): Well, I appreciated the fact that you played along... I thought you looked hot.
Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Uh, yeah. I, um, remember. Heh.
Mouse (to Eep): Though, I will say that what you wore for NYE was my favorite. I wonder if leather pants with a shirt & tie would work?
Eep (to Mouse): Fucked if I know. Uh, I can try it you think it wouldn't look really stupid.
Mouse (to Eep): If you do it, wear a vest, too.
A few minutes later:
Eep (to Mouse): OK. I'm on the porch grabbing a quick cigarette. Do you mind sticking your head out here and telling me if I look like a dick?
Mouse (to Eep): Well, if I do that & I like it, we run the risk of not making it to work on time... or at all.
Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Um... heh. I'll just have to run the risk of looking like a dick then.
Mouse (to Eep): Well, I'm sure you look great & if you want a ride I'm heading out right now...
Eep (to Mouse): Oh yeah, that'd be awesome.
45 minutes later:
Mouse (to Vincent): Alright we're both wearing leather pants per your request...
Vincent (to Mouse): Ooo! Perfect! Just wait. U'll love this. We're doing a Cabaret theme 2nite. :-D
Mouse (to Vincent): How does leather pants go with Cabaret? Wait. Do I want to know?
Vincent (to Mouse): SEXY Cabaret. U'll see. Just b glad we didn't go w/ the song from Oklahoma.
Delia (to Vincent, Mouse & Eep): we're doing the dancing on the bar again tonight since it went over so well last week.
Mouse (to Delia): Well, if we're going to do Cabaret, we should totally do 'Two ladies'. :-p
Delia (to Mouse): Well since there isn't 1.5 ladies it'll do I suppose.
Mouse (to Delia): i suppose could come & do it with you two.
Delia (to Mouse): that might work! It'd force Leon to stay behind the dj booth and not drag me away in the middle of it lol
Mouse (to Delia): Though I feel way over dressed in comparison to what you're wearing...
Delia (to Mouse): I... have all the important bits covered. Granted electrical tape had to come to the party but still!
Mouse (to Delia): Well, it is hard to compete with electrical tape.
Delia (to Mouse): It was your brother's idea. He almost insisted on putting it on himself lol.
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah, be careful with him... He's still a dude, no matter how swishy he acts.
Delia (to Mouse): Oh I'm aware. It was the smarmy smirk that gave him away this time. Really... still. He did a good job picking it all out.
Eep (to Vincent): Dear God... What the fuck have you got on?
Vincent (to Eep): Aww, sweet. Don't b jealous. U look cute 2. If a little conservative.
Eep (to Vincent): Go die in a fire.
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh, look your girlfriend is here... And your boyfriend. :-p
Vincent (to Mouse): Ooo! Woman! Ur lucky ur so adorable. ... Course I DO look esp tasty 2nite. No harm in causing their hearts 2 flutter a bit. :-P
Mouse (to Vincent): Ummm well, good luck with all of that... & if you ever see Ripper's tattoo, please don't tell me about it.
Vincent (to Mouse): Aaaaaand where wld that tattoo b located that wld offend ur sensibilities & y do U know where it is, sister dearest?
Delia (to Mouse): if you tell him he's just going to want to look.
Mouse (to Vincent): uh, it's on his right hip & never you mind... It was a long time ago. (to Delia) oh god, it's true... Shit.
Delia (to Mouse): have you MET your brother? It'll be a pervy where's waldo.
Mouse (to Delia): I forgot who I was talking to...
Vincent (to Mouse): Whaaaaaaat? Oh my fucking God. Mouse! I'm... I'm impressed. Just when I thought I knew all there was 2 know... Of course, I RLLY wish u hadn't told me abt that tattoo. I'm going 2 b SO distracted all nite now.
Mouse (to Vincent): it was right before you started working here... I don't tell you everything, that would be weird. I'm sure he'd show it to you... He's not shy, despite his recent behavior.
Vincent (to Mouse): I'm going 2 throw a lemon @ u if u don't behave!
Mouse (to Vincent): Actually, I'm making all of that up & he doesn't actually have a tattoo. I just wanted to mess with you.
Delia (to Mouse): Well looks like its going to be a busy night. You don't think its because the video went viral do you?
Mouse (to Delia): Probably... You two are internet sensations.
Delia (to Mouse): weiiiiiiird. But hey! More biz more money. I think sasha did us a favor taping it.
Vincent (to Ripper): OK. Odd question, but humor a lad. Do u happen 2 have a tattoo on ur hip?
Ripper (to Vincent): hmmmm, do you wanna find out?
Vincent (to Ripper): U do know how 2 RLLY distract a lad, don't u?
Ripper (to Vincent): I've been told it's one of my best qualities. (to Mouse) Is there a reason why your brother is asking about my tattoo?
Delia (to Vincent): Do you need me to use this glass of ice water I have here? I can...
Vincent (to Delia): U may! Keep it on standby. :-P
Delia (to Vincent): heh.. alright. Imma watchin' you young man.
Mouse (to Ripper): I was just tormenting him.
Ripper (to Mouse): Uh ok. But if I remember correctly you were the one who turned me down. So, why do you care what he does?
Mouse (to Ripper): I'm sorry, I shouldn't be using you to shock my brother. Sometimes my ego can't handle his ego... I'll stop.
Vincent (to Delia): What time r we dancing, darling?
Delia (to Vincent): hmmm... its still picking up. Don't want to make it too late. How bout.. round midnight? we should be round the peak of the night and everyone will be liqoured up but not too much. (to Ripper) So... since you've had a rough day all things considered. I feel that warrants a free drink. Just lemme know what you want.
Vincent (to Delia): Sounds good 2 me, hun. We r WORKING the tips.
Ripper (to Delia): Your choice, my only request is to make it strong. I'm having a bit of a shit day.
Delia (to Ripper): well.. is there anything you absolutely don't like? I wouldn't want to make it worse. (to Vincent) Skill, celebrity and being nearly indecent will do that. Not complaining. I might make most of rent if this keeps up.
Ripper (to Delia): Not that I can think of, I trust you.
Delia (to Ripper): you flatter me. Hmm.. something strong... something happy as well. Absinthe and lemonade with extra absinthe?
Ripper (to Delia): Sounds perfect.
Vincent (to Eep): I take it back. U r WORKING those pants. Bend ovr some more.
Eep (to Vincent): Yeah. Right. Go die in a fire.
Vincent (to Eep): Hey now. I'm just trying 2 earn u some xtra tips. It's called working it, hun.
Mouse (to Eep): So, I really like what you're wearing...
Eep (to Mouse): Oh... heh. Thanks. Yeah. I, uh, really like what you're wearing too. But you already knew that.
Ripper (to Vincent): So, I really like what you're wearing tonight.
Vincent (to Ripper): TY. Who doesn't? ;-}
Ripper (to Vincent): So, you said there was wiggle room in your relationship... How much wiggle is there?
Vincent (to Ripper): Mostly makeouts.
Ripper (to Vincent): Oh... Need a break?
Poppy (to Vincent): Hey honey! I'm feeling terribly neglected over here.
Vincent (to Poppy): Aww, sweetie. I'm srry. I seem 2 b a popular lad 2nite. Head ovr 2 the bar & I'll make it up 2 u. (to Ripper) Ask again after Delia & I dance.
Ripper (to Vincent): Well, while you're dancing what is Poppy up to? I could go keep her company, if that's alright with you?
Poppy (to Vincent): Well see, this is why I think you should go out with Ripper, honey.
Vincent (to Poppy): What? Y is that, sweetie? (to Ripper) U'll have 2 ask her, hun.
Poppy (to Vincent): Because your sexiness is just too much for one woman...
Vincent (to Poppy): I'm not the only 1. Ripper offered 2 keep u company while Delia & I do our bar dance. ;-}
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh? How you do feel about that?
Vincent (to Poppy): Honestly? I don't think it wld bother me. Wld it bother u? Tho I'm not sure how. I'd feel abt making out w/ Ripper since sister dear seems 2 have already tapped that ass.
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, I wasn't bothered about it until you mentioned your sister... Are you sure she wasn't just messing with you?
Vincent (to Poppy): Usually, I can tell if she's fibbing. I don't think she was.
Ripper (to Poppy): Want any company while Vincent is dancing?
Poppy (to Ripper): If you just want to sit with me, sure... So, honey, did you have a thing with Mouse?
Ripper (to Mouse): So, does it count as cockblocking if the person doing it doesn't have one? You know two can play at this game? Not that I'm going to do that... (to Poppy) If, by thing, you mean one night & when I asked her out, she said no... Then yes we had a thing.
Mouse (to Ripper): look, that was not my intention...
Poppy (to Ripper): Oh honey, I wanna kiss it & make it better... She's an idiot.
Delia (to Vincent): So you ready to shake it all steamy like sugar butt? I just got the go ahead from Sasha.
Vincent (to Delia & Mouse): Of course. Showtime, ladies!
Delia (to Mouse): I think we broke your bf. And maybe half the crowd.
Eep (to Mouse): That was... wow. You were really... uh, that was good.
Mouse (to Delia): heehee, I guess that's a good thing. (to Eep) Thank you.
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. You're welcome.
