Calling on a lady fair~ No wait, it's just Mindfang >(

[devwocean]

Who: Orphaner Dualscar, Spinneret Mindfang and a cameo by the Psiioniic!
When: Early evening
Where: Mindfang's hive
Style: Action
Status: Closed

[It's been several days since Dualscar's seen hide nor hair of Mindfang, and while normally he might claim to be glad of the reprieve, that's not actually true. He knows she was sick, but what he's concerned about is that she might be gone, or have gotten hurt in her weakened state.

So like he did before when she was in a coma, he comes boldly to her hive. He doesn't bother to knock - if she's in a coma or something, she won't answer. So instead he jimmies a window and slips inside, then begins to explore the building in search of his kismesis]

[devwocean]

Wwell. [He frowns, irritated] He certainly nevver mentioned it to me.

[He sits down next to her, eyeing her pockmarked skin] Besides all a that, you smell a liniment and you're a fuckin' mess.

[o8liter8]

Maybe because it's not your quadrant and thus not your business.

And I'm sick, no shit. [ She stretches out with a yawn. ] Of course I'm not going to be looking pretty for you in the middle of an intensely pale platonic moment.

[devwocean]

It's entirely my business. Wwe'vve had more than one discussion about Psiioniic's pale quadrant prospects, not to mention his recovvery, wwhich I'm activvely invvolvved in on account a the fact that I made him that wway.

[He snorts and eyes her up and down, then takes a lock of hair between his fingers and rolls it back and forth] Then wwhy are wwe in your respite block?

[o8liter8]

Well then maybe he just doesn't trust you. Fuck if I know, you ask him, you're his moirail. You know him and his motivations better than I do, don't you?

[ She gives him a flat look, a tight, thin-lipped smile. ]

Because then Psii can leave easily if he wants to without stumbling over us. Just because I don't look my best doesn't mean I trust you not to be sick enough to take advantage of your kismesis when she's ill and marginally more hideous.

[devwocean]

He trusts me just fine! [He does...doesn't he? Maybe Signless didn't say anything because Mindfang is his kismesis. Maybe he was afraid Dualscar would do something to sabotage the relationship. Fuck.

He eyes her, scowling] As if I wwant to lay one hand on your spotted husk. I wwas just comin' to make sure you wweren't dead or somethin'.

[o8liter8]

If you say so.

[ She grins back, irreverent as always. ]

Such concern! I might start to think you flushed for me, you decrepit pile of fishmeat. A text wouldn't do?

[devwocean]

And wwhat about your pale crush? Does he givve you good advvice? Stand up to you an pap you dowwn wwhen you're feelin' emotional?

[He sneers back at her]

If you wwere either culled or ignorin' me I couldn't tell the difference. No one's got the right to cull you but me, as you knoww, so I had to make sure.

[o8liter8]

What makes you convinced it's just a crush? [ wow Dualscar personal questions much. r u d e ]

As if even you have that right. No one culls me till the brownblood, sweetheart, that's how it's going to be. Too bad for you.

[devwocean]

Because you're nothin' more than a child. And because he may not evven be capable a fillin' the role. I wwas only givvin you a bit a advvice, wwiggler.

[Then he frowns] Browwnblood? Wwhat browwnblood?

[o8liter8]

And yet I'm old enough to carry on with you, you old lech.

[ She sighs, frowning as well. ]

You didn't know? Everyone's beloved Summoner is the troll destined to kill me. Long after you're gone.

[devwocean]

I'm fulfillin' an important guidin' role, wwhich is perfectly legitimate. [He smirks, combing fingers through her wild hair, but then the smile vanishes like a rock into a pond]

Summoner kills you?

[o8liter8]

Yep. Going to be my matesprit at the time, too.

[ Her voice is sullen, a touch hopeless, more than a little angry at her own destiny. ]

You ever wondered why I've been down on redrom, there you go, that's your answer.

[devwocean]

[His face is wooden as he considers it. Yeah, he can totally see them together, that's the annoying part. But the part that's shocking is the idea that Summoner would murder his own matesprit. She must have done something that offended his morality - that would explain it. And he can see her doing that, too.]

Wwell, I wwon't say you don't deservve a little misery after all a the pain you'vve heaped on my horns. But howw do you knoww about this?

[o8liter8]

Vision Eightfold. You thought I was just psychic? And fuck off, you don't know my life or what I've been through, bastard.

[ She kicks him a little. Just because he is her favorite hatebitch. ]

[devwocean]

[He grunts at the kick, and punches her in the shoulder distractedly]

I thought you wwere just useless, actually.

[o8liter8]

Rude fish, aren't you?

[ Awkward silence. ]

[devwocean]

Only to you, my swweet. [He sighs and goes back to stroking her hair] I expect you wwant to get back to your pile glubbin' wwith that glorified husktop? Anywway, you're diseased, so I wwon't expect you to do much more than lay about.

[o8liter8]

Fuck off, it's all in how you treat him. [ She closes her eyes. ] In such a hurry to get out now, huh?

[devwocean]

I treat him just fine, an I didn't see you treatin' him any better just noww. [He rolls his own eyes. So vulnerable, girl. But she's probably safe for the moment] I wwould a thought you'd be glad to see my backside right noww.

[o8liter8]

Because you're a self-centered bulgesuck and you were hatched that way. Also, no one deserves to have the torture of watching your backside.

[ Lies, it's quite a nice ass. ]

[devwocean]

Am I? [Okay, no denying that. He smiles and leans over her, giving her jaw a nip with his teeth] Wwell then I'm a good match for a self-possessed little wwhore like you, actually.

[o8liter8]

A whore would imply I got paid and didn't enjoy it. [ She grins, bites at one of his fins. ]

[devwocean]

I'm sure you'vve stolen enough from my - oww - from my holds to count as compensation, at least. [He smirks and shoves at her, slipping a hand over her torso and up to one breast, and giving it a squeeze] Though there's no question that you'vve enjoyed it.

[o8liter8]

That's different. I'd steal from you with or without the pailing, I don't sleep with everyone I rob blind. Gross, have you seen some of those seadwellers flabbing around deck uselessly.

[ oh that

that sure is a hand on her boob

wow sorry if Dualscar ends up being an asshole Psii ]

[devwocean]

Wwell, it's good to knoww you havve some standards, though wwith becomin' flushed for that browwnblood, I wwas startin' to wwonder.

[It sure is. You want to make something of it?]

[o8liter8]

[ She reaches up, tugging him down by a fin, digging her nails in a little. ]

Sometimes I do wonder about my standards. After all, you're here.

[devwocean]

[He growls, fighting the pull, then kissing her soundly when she pulls him down, his own claws digging hard into her breast through the fabric of her shirt]

I'm abovve you, obvviously. An you should feel lucky I'm evven here an wwillin' to givve you a bit of attention.

[o8liter8]

As if. I could get along just fine without you, darling, I'm just indulging you. You, meanwhile, can't even hold off when I'm ill and covered in blue bumps and pink lotion.

[ She gasps a little at his manhandling, but it has been a little while since they got to get into this. She's been sick, after all. ]

[devwocean]

[He snorts irritably] I don't see you sendin' me awway, despite your claim that you're sick.

[o8liter8]

Said I was indulging you, didn't I? You're at least hot.

[ She strokes his fin between two fingers, deliberately just a little too rough. ]

[devwocean]

[He twitches at the stroking, as it sends a bit of pain through the delicate organ, and reaches up to catch her wrist]

Wwell, at least you admit it.

[o8liter8]

Not much else going for you.

[ She bites down on his lower lip in retaliation. ]

[devwocean]

[He growls and leans into the kiss, trying to bite her lip in return, and then thrusting his tongue forward into her mouth]

[o8liter8]

[ Mindfang growls in return, biting down on his tongue, her own swiping up the purple blood that gushes into her mouth. She might be sick, but she's going to give as good as she gets. ]

[devwocean]

[Ow. His tongue hurts now, but he doesn't let that stop him, driving his tongue deep into her mouth and dominating the kiss until he finally pulls back, swiping purple and blue from his lips with the back of his hand]

You need a fuckin' showwer.
