reawakening an old muse

[carbonnadsat]

So here we are again. Let's keep this short and simple. You fuck up and there'll be no body left for the dogs.

You're getting another chance, girl. I suggest that you don't waste it. Find me an entertaining game.

Well? Get to it. I've wasted enough time with this little chat.

Weird black creature shouldn't threaten mun.

[carbonnadsat]

She's been dilly-dallying enough. If I don't give her a little "motivation" I'll be stuck here all year.

[he_is_fish]

Makes sense. Still harsh for someone who is partner.

[carbonnadsat]

She's failed to act responsibly in our past partnership. I'm being gracious in giving her a second chance.

[he_is_fish]

What about black thing named Slick? Was he responsible to you?

[carbonnadsat]

So you know Slick? You poor bastard.

Yes, I suppose. He kept his promises.

[he_is_fish]

Not exactly. Mun showed me pictures. Is big predator for such short man. Like one that attacked lounge.

[carbonnadsat]

I don't quite follow. Lounge?

I'd say he has a bit of a Napoleon complex. Has to prove himself at everything.

[he_is_fish]

Lava Lounge. I'm bouncer there.

[carbonnadsat]

Can't say I've heard of it. You don't look like a bouncer to me.

[he_is_fish]

Mm wait I'll show you.

[Rather suddenly she will give guttural growl showing off her teeth and claws.

[carbonnadsat]

[He doesn't bat an eye--he's used to seeing creatures like these. He reaches into his suit, lights a cigarette.]

Hmph. I can see how you would scare off most delinquents.

[he_is_fish]

Not needed most times. Is usually just drunk getting loud so Lava has me take care of it since I'm one of the stronger bouncers.

[carbonnadsat]

Boxcars had the same job at our casinos. Though his methods were quite... messy.

[he_is_fish]

Wouldn't work in Lava Lounge.

[Her next line sounded like she was repeating exactly what someone said.]

Any action with intent to harm will not work.

[Then she went back to her own wording.]

If you try to hit someone with weapon it goes away.

[carbonnadsat]

That so? That's quite disappointing to hear. Takes the fun out of being a bouncer in my opinion.

[he_is_fish]

I feed on fear, don't need to hit.

[carbonnadsat]

It's not a matter of need--it's a matter of pleasure. Though the two do closely correlate.

[he_is_fish]

Fear pleases me not pain.

[carbonnadsat]

There's little to no difference between them. Inflicting fear upon someone is the same as inflicting pain. The only difference is that fear is all in the mind.

[he_is_fish]

Is not common but body can be in pain without fear. I only want fear, hurting customers would be bad for business.

[carbonnadsat]

True enough. The money must come first.

[he_is_fish]

Is not money exactly. Abians feed on emotions or people so we get free meal and people get free fun.

[carbonnadsat]

A free meal for you, yes. But I doubt that your employer would let your customers paw their grubby hands all over the lounge without paying first.

[he_is_fish]

Boss is Abian too. Some customers let him feed on them. Is payment enough for Abian.
