067: (Not)Working Girl

[livingmyths]

I'm at the Library today even though technically I don't have to be here. But I do love it so and if it's a day I'm not scheduled to work then I don't feel guilty when I spend most of the time pulling books down and reading through them or going up on the roof to watch over the City and feel the wind in my hair.

That's where I am now. It's cold, but oh so beautiful, and I'm warm enough to get by and I have some food in my backpack so I can have a little roof picnic and lay back and watch the sky and pretend I'm like a bird and could go soaring against the clouds.

Though maybe I'm more like a mouse, liking to hide away in tiny spaces and watch without being seen, nibbling away at whatever I can find and maybe one day having a little mouse family of my own.

I just wish...

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, if anyone wants to come have a roof picnic with me I'm easy enough to find and I'd like the company!

So... if you had sex with someone it would kill them?

And you won't let them say no?

Uh....no. I haven't...I...I've only killed people that tried to hurt me or Harry, or someone we care about, really.

...No, I don't enthrall them...it's wrong...I mean, I've used it before, to keep people safe...but it was wrong then too.

Then... I don't understand why you say you're a monster.

You could do bad things, but you don't.

I... there are bad things I could do, but if I don't that makes me good, not bad.

It makes you good, too.

I don't know if it makes me good...but I guess it makes me 'not bad.'

Re: Private//Unhackable

Then you can't be a monster.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

I...

But sometimes.....maybe you can hear it to. It wants me to come and take you...even now, the damned Hunger...the demon...how is a demon not a monster?

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That must be very hard for you. To have that inside you.

But... if you want to... you can have me.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

I would take you, do everything you dreampt a lover would do...more than that, and leave you empty...no!

NO! Don't even...just don't...

Sex is...

I told you I did bad things. I...

From the time I was thirteen I...

I had sex with people to get food or medicine or shelter for the little ones. Whether I wanted to or not. It just hurt less if I did what they wanted and didn't fight.

If you needed... I wouldn't mind.

You're nice and I don't think you'd hurt me.

Sex isn't legal tender, Rain...

...besides, I do hair. It works too.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of people who wouldn't agree with you. On the streets...

But here I don't have to do anything I don't want to.

You... don't want to talk to me anymore, now that you know, right?

Hair?

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

I never said that, Rain. I...I like you.

Yeah, I'm a stylist. When people are in your chair, they trust you. It makes it easy to take little sips of their life force.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Then I'm glad. I... like you too.

I've never had anyone do my hair. But I guess I can see where that would work.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

You should come down sometime. The first one's on me.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I thought we couldn't meet.

At least not yet.

I don't know what you'd do with my hair. It's very long and I like it that way.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

Sometimes it's nice to just let someone else wash it for once.

Um, curls? I could do curls.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...

Someone's hands in my hair. I think I'd like that.

Curls? That might be fun.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

They are. And they bounce, which makes them more fun.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

They bounce? That would make me laugh!

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

They bounce when you walk, anyway. It's fun.

Re: Private//Unhackable

Then... if you think it's okay, I'll come.

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

We'll be open on Monday.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

And you think it's okay if we meet?

Private//Unhackable

[prodigalvampire]

yeah. I...yeah.

Re: Private//Unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You could always come have a picnic with me here on the roof.
