Hey Kitty. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to take some time off from dispatch. Been doing it a while and I think I just need a break. I'll probably still drop by HQ every now and again and if you need me in a pinch chances are I'll be free to help out. But I've just got some stuff to sort out right now and get my head squared back on my shoulders.

[Private to Spike]

You still up for shots, popcorn and maybe some nail painting? I've got a load of bad rom-coms and a stack of horror flicks if you're interested. I promise no blood smoothies. Though seriously, you have to wonder what they'd come out like.

	I didn't say that, just that I wasn't the only one. [ Don't rib nudge him when he's doing your nails! Okay, he's nearly done with the filing. ] You need a break? Can't go hitting me with wet nails and I'm not doing this twice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm good, I'm good. Well... [She huffs, flopping around on the sofa before planting a pillow over his lap and laying her head on it. One arm bent up and the other hugging the popcorn bowl, she's comfy and with a great view. (Of the TV.)] Okay, now I'm good. Paint away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I see how it is. You just invited me over because you wanted the royal treatment. [ He's not complaining! This is just playful ribbing and he doesn't hesitate in the least before getting to the painting. Clear bottom coat, followed by deep red soon as it's dried enough. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, man. This is the life. [She's grinning though, periodically flicking her eyes up to look at her hands in wonder. And then as time goes on, struggling to drink more booze with wet fingertips.] These look so hot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 08:56 am UTC (link)
	You need a straw? [ Don't mess up his work, Becca. ] And I'm not finished yet. [ Out comes the black and he works with great concentration until her nails are deliciously gothy. ] There. Just need a top coat and you're all set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 09:00 am UTC (link)
	Damn. [No really, she's admiring them. Slightly tipsy which is making it more intense but you know, little details. She holds up her hand to admire it, grinning before gently returning it to lay back down. Top coat. Right.] I am going to scratch the shit out of Aidan with these. And probably myself.

	Good thing I didn't make them razor sharp, then. [ Secret talents, amirite? He's also biting his tongue from saying something like bit of a wuss, isn't he? Trying so hard to be a friend here. ] How's it going with that guy? He know I'm here tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's not my keeper. [She says, still eyeing her nails. So she hasn't gotten in that deep with Aidan to get past the friendship and sex to really detail the fact she hangs out with probably one of the previously most dangerous inmates in the dome but the fact they're sitting together watching a movie and painting nails doesn't exactly make it that big of a deal. And she's not lying at all - her and Aidan are banded but it's not like they're wed up in monogamous bliss here.]

But it's alright, yeah. We get along pretty well. The band's just... you know? A why not.

	Why not. [ No judging here. He may be madly monogamous but that's starting to ease up a bit. Can't go kissing librarians and time agents and still claim to not be a bit sexually liberal. ] Me and Rose were like that... I mean, it wasn't just sex but we weren't attached at the hip.

You two worked good together. [She knows losing Rose was tough on him, even if they weren't 'attached at the hip'. There was some attachment going for sure.]

More than just an attraction's a good thing. Though I understand if a fling's just a fling, too, but bands are a lot of effort for that kind of thing. Might as well stick around for the more substantial, yeah?

	[ He loved her. Not with the firey passion as he loved Dru but no one will live up to that. ] I've never done that. Flings. [ Is that weird? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Not your type of thing? [Said without the teasing it could. She's learning so much about him.] It's not everyone's. I'd probably be more monogamous myself if I had a chance of planning a future. Maybe. [Depends on the person she'd be with, really.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Never saw the point. Like you said, if you're going to do it, might as well do it proper. [ Okay, he's a mad romantic, as she will find out in a couple of days.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Is this 19th century chivalry? If only more of the living had a similar approach. [There'd be less fuckboys in the world. She reaches up to try and pop popcorn into his mouth.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Nah... 19th century chivalry was a lot more... [ He makes a gesture, picking up the popcorn from her hand in the meantime. ] ...curtseying and poetry and absolutely no shagging whatsoever until you've gotten married and probably not even then. Except for the pervs, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	I'd be such a 19th century perv. [She says, eyes drifting off in thought. Okay, loose woman would probably be a more period apt term even if it wrinkles her nose.] Poetry though, that could be cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Whoa whoa whoa what did you say? ] You serious? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	That I'd probably be ostracized by 19th century circles for getting frisky more than a proper girl should? [Is this such a shocker? Obviously that's what you're asking, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Well, when you put it that way... [ Obviously that's what he's asking. Nothing else. ] Bet you'd bring in a pretty penny though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Are you saying I'd be a good prostitute? [Half flattered, for some reason. Damn well would be.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	No Ripper would dare cross your path, that's for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	Psh. [She snorts though, if only her timeline was on the update she'd have more to say about that.] What else was the 1900s like. Anything missable? It's not every day you get to hear the details from a person who was there. Storybooks always tend to lie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	You're asking me to summarize a whole century? That's a tall order. At least narrow it down some. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Was it... beautiful? When I think of it - more like am told about it - it always sounded a bit stuffy. Even what you said just now about there being a lot of rules and decorum. Maybe it's just because I don't see myself fitting in that it feels stale and uptight. I'd just like to hear that at least some parts of it were fun, fresh and exciting.

Or was it all just... balls, marriage proposals and poetry on scented paper? [She knows she's asking the vampire but part of her still wants the human answer.]

	Oh, the 1800's. [ That's easier. Stupid years being weird. ] Probably one of the worst times you could be alive, if you ask me. Lots of colonization and syphilis... China was more fun. Opium dens, revolutions. Better than Britain by a long shot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
