What's a man to do?

[jimmydragon]

Dear Mun:

I appreciate that you have been listening pretty closely to the things I want, the places I want to go, etc. There is one issue, though, and I really think we need to solve it before things go much further.

I need to know how come all of the people I want to date happen to be one kind of Immortal or another and I'm...well, NOT?! I mean we've got Highlander Immortals, Celestials, Fae, Selkies, Vampires, and a host of others I don't even have a name for. Why am I the only human in the neighborhood?

I mean I really don't relish the thought of being someone,anyone's "Mister Right Now." Can we maybe fix this so I know what's up?!

I know how you feel, oh boy, do I know how you feel!

[jimmydragon]

Oh, hey! Doctor Martin!

Yeah, I think I have like maybe two headmates that are fully human and the rest of them....not so much. Hey, maybe I can buy you a drink between sets at Lux and we can trade stories.

Not to break any doctor/patient confidentiality, of course. But it might help.

Hi there, Jimmy!

It's the same with my headmates. I believe there are a couple of fully normal humans, but they're mostly less used muses.

And certainly, Jimmy! I look forward to it. You should hear some of the things I've seen. *laughs* As for doctor/patient stuff, I don't worry about that too much.

[jimmydragon]

Not sure I like the term "used". Maybe we can come up with a different term.....turned lose maybe? It kind of infers that though we aren't immortal, there's still a bit of wildness to be had amongst we poor, lowly human muses, ya know?

I am betting we have quite a few stories to tell around the proverbial campfire. *noting her comment about doctor/patient matters, he gives a small nod and flashes her a smile and...was that a wink?* That's good to know.

[the_devils_therapist]

Poor word choice (I blame the writer for getting tired). I meant those muses of my writer who are in more of a support role, such as Himself's security team, though I believe one of those is now also immortal *sigh*.

Oh, more than a few. *leans forward conspiratorially* I actually met the goddess of all creation. *grins* Jimmy, I'd be a hypocrite if I said otherwise. *winks back*

[jimmydragon]

Hey, no problem whatsoever. I know what it's like. I was supposed to answer this a bit ago, but my writer fell asleep after her morning errands so I apologize on behalf of both of us, I guess, for the delay.

*leaning close to listen to her* Really? You didn't meet White Buffalo Calf Woman did you? People of the Plains revere her - but heaven forbid any man looks at her with lust...they turn to ash on the spot! Somehow, though, I don't think that's who you're talking about, is it? Sounds nasty...kind of like my soon-to-be-ex girlfriend. *stops himself* Oh, shit...I said that out loud didn't I?

[faedefrance]

You realize we are both going to get seriously hurt in this exercise, don't you? I mean, you have peaked over her shoulder and seen what's coming down the road, yes?

[jimmydragon]

Yes. I am well aware of what she and the other writer(s) have planned.
Remember what I told you,Joie. Through Hell and back.

Because that's really what it's going to come down to.
