[backdated to Thursday]

[poison_puppet]

Himiko is fixing her bike in the garage/room of her appartment. There is music blaring on her speakers and her costume is completely covered in grease. After a few minutes, the scenery starts to warp; the bike remains the same but somehow becomes shiny-er and the room smaller. Himiko doesn't seem to notice; she just keeps working.

Then a door opens and Dayran glances in, saying something in a teasing tone of voice. She flicks oil at him, marring his costume. But instead of snapping at her, he merely tugs the shirt off and throws it at her.

She ducks, blushing furiously, then drops the wrench she's been using. The clang echos throughout the dream, starting her back to reality. Dayran is gone, the bike is back to normal...

but she's still blushing.

Is that your boyfriend?

[poison_puppet]

Wh- ack! No! He's just a friend! Nothing more. Really!!!

Oh god, why did it post that?

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

Oh, then you just like him?

[poison_puppet]

He's a friend. Whether or not I find him attractive isn't important.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

No, finding him attractive isn't that important. It's the other things that matter.

[poison_puppet]

Like the fact that he might see this and figure out...oh no!

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

He's part of the community?

[poison_puppet]

Yes. That's how I met him, and now he's living in my world.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

To be with you?! That's wonderful!

[poison_puppet]

No, no. He was going to be killed if he stayed where he was. I just offered him a place to stay in a world where he'd be accepted.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

That was very kind of you!

Why where they trying to kill him?

[poison_puppet]

He killed somebody while on a job.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[poison_puppet]

Um...that he killed someone. And was then convicted and sentenced to death. Rough, huh?

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

I think "why?" would have been the right question.

[poison_puppet]

He was hired for a transportation job - same thing that I do - that went wrong. Its just something that happens in the business, the whole kill-or-be-killed thing, but I guess people don't think like that in his world.

[material_guy]

So he's yer type, eh?

[poison_puppet]

No! I mean, well, yes. But that's beside the point!

[material_guy]

Just had some porn of that guy thrown in my face a while ago. He ain't my type, but I still got it somewhere around here. Want me to share?

[poison_puppet]

What?! No! Why would I want to see porn of one of my friends?

[material_guy]

You sure? 'cause I'm just gentleman enough not to throw porn at a lady who don't want it... and I'm not gonna keep it around too long if you change yer mind later...

[poison_puppet]

I doubt he'd be happy if he found it lying around my appartment, so even if I did want it I'd have to say no.

[material_guy]

Real soft core... couldn't be any madder than he'd be if he saw you imagining this... But if yer not interested...

[poison_puppet]

I'm not. [Though there's not much conviction in her voice...]

[material_guy]

You know, it's straight out of the head of another one of his friends. Or almost a friend. They called each other friends, anyways. So don't that almost make it okay? And it's probably pretty accurate, since this's a friend who's probably known him a lot longer than you have... but then again maybe you've gotten closer with him.... Hey, don'tcha wanna see who's got a better idea of what he really looks like?

[poison_puppet]

This 'friend' isn't Klaver, is it? Because if it is, then that's doubly wrong. Gay porn is all well and good, but seeing the guy you like banging another guy really isn't the encouragement I need right now.

[material_guy]

You know that little fuckwipe too, huh? It's a sandwich. With a pretty nice lookin' girl in the middle.

Shit, you could cut the asshole out real easy. Say please and I'll do it for ya. Like orderin' a sandwich with no onions. Or're you the all around jealous type? The girl gonna be a problem, too?

[poison_puppet]

Ergh. Thank you, but no. Give it to some poor, porn-less person who will appreciate it, 'cus I'm pretty sure I wouldn't, at all. Girl or no girl, Klaver or not, it'd still be really embarrassing.

[material_guy]

Y'know, if it makes you feel all hot in the face, there's another "feeling" that does that besides embarrassment.

[poison_puppet]

I am aware of that, yes. Its not like I object to porn and what it does in general. Its just that I'd feel like a voyeuristic creep that's just asking for trouble.
