black preferred but as long as it isn't hot pink i'll consider it

Yeah. And I already know about the nicer ones who will cough up a little extra. It's not really enough.

[not that she'd know, sight unseen. it takes a fair amount of additional calories to maintain fighting fit for SOLDIERs and other mako-enhanced people.]

You're not the only one who isn't quite ready to be a cheap date.
Do we have a deal?

[vampirella]

( he's right, she's not looked into it much. vampire and everything. all the more reason she's making out like a bandit on this deal, it isn't hard to give up something she doesn't need to begin with. )

deal. though it'd better be black if you're going to take the food out of my mouth for it

( not really. but he doesn't need to know that! )

No. Nothing you can't afford to give up.
Take care of yourself first.

[vampirella]

i need to not be constantly reminded of what i left behind a lot more than i need food.

( and not just... because she doesn't need food. she's not as detached about her second death as she's putting on, and these clothes are a particularly unwelcome reminder. )

[noncertus]

And clothes are supposed to help with that.

[Because she died in them, remember? Shit.








Way to stick your whole foot in it, Cloud.]

Sorry.

[vampirella]

if it makes me think about it even a little bit less, then yes. it will

so do we have a deal or not?

[noncertus]

[he can relate with that more than he cares to mention.]

We have a deal. You're Elvira?

[vampirella]

close enough, we're both mistresses of the night

( she's always been cagey about providing a name, even if she has a good dozen anagrams to operate behind. still, there's probably nobody here to tail her different personas, so what's the harm? )

it's carmilla.

[noncertus]

[whomst?]

It's fine. I'm a mercenary. How you make your pay is your business.

[that sure was a misinterpretation]

[vampirella]

not that kind of mistress of the night, slugger, though your progressive acceptance is duly noted
