she likes to rattle her cage here and there. (canon: xena/hercules)

[rageunfulfilled]

How disgustingly accurately put. But can you blame me, it's boring up in here. Is it a problem? Would you like to know how you can get it to stop? It's simple, believe me.

All you have to do... [ Smirk. ] Is let me out to play.

[There's some laughter.]

Poor lamb. Discontented in her little realm.

[rageunfulfilled]

[ She sneers, unimpressed by the choice of words. ]

Well, well. Someone must have struck a better deal, to afford to gloat.

[cassie_of_troy]

Oh, sweet thing. There are no deals.

[rageunfulfilled]

Sweet? [ She grins. ] Why don't you come a little closer and I'll show you just how sweet I can be.

[cassie_of_troy]

That should be amusing.

A wolf and a lioness. I do wonder at it.

[rageunfulfilled]

I'm glad you agree, princess. [ Not that Callisto knows she is one, she's just... mocking. ] Only one way to know for sure, wouldn't you say?

[cassie_of_troy]

I think I would win.

I told you before that there are no deals. There is only force of will. The question is, whose is greater? Yours or your "mundane?"

I have the answer to that question in my case.

[rageunfulfilled]

[ She just grins at that remark, in that slightly unhinged way of hers, before cocking her head like a curious bird. ]

Really now? Do tell, princess - I'm dying to know, and it's not nice to tease. Does your mundane indulge your whims at the snap of your little fingers, hm?

[cassie_of_troy]

I persist.

It's called Bete Noire. The City of Sin.

[rageunfulfilled]

And did you ask to be sent there?

[cassie_of_troy]

I asked to live. The rest is inconsequential.

[rageunfulfilled]

If you like that sort of thing, I suppose.

[cassie_of_troy]

True. But something tells me you do. You would not be here otherwise.

[rageunfulfilled]

Living for the sake of living? [ She scoffs. ] I'm after one thing and one thing only, princess. Revenge.

[cassie_of_troy]

A bit difficult to achieve when you're dead.

[rageunfulfilled]

Been there, done that.

[cassie_of_troy]

As have I.

[rageunfulfilled]

Then you should know death isn't always nearly as final as people would like to think.

[cassie_of_troy]

Final, no. But rather inconvenient.

[topmeup]

Girl, if you want out, looking like you a few gallons short of a full tank ain't the way to go.

[cynicalloyalty]

Something tells me playing with you will just end in pain and suffering.
