Boys:
[Dominic walks into the dungeon, his previous session having been interrupted by all the Simone drama]
Girls:
[Summer nods] Is there anyone here you prefer over anyone else as far as getting along.
Boys:
[Christopher glances around covertly, quietly] Cameron’s pretty cool. [nods toward an auburn haired guy with ice blue eyes] I think he’s part Italian. Ethan’s *really* cool, but he’s already taken. [nods toward Aaron who’s pacing his cell, whispers] He’s a bit of a dick, but.. he’s got some issues I can relate too and I think that’s why he’s dickish. And I think he’s gonna lose his shit if he doesn’t get out soon. [looks back at her, quietly] Cameron’s probably my favorite, though.
Girls:
[Summer smiles] All right I’ll grab Cameron and have Silver take Aaron. [Whispers] maybe being around Roland will help Aaron.
Girls:
[Several of the girls look over when Dominic walks into the room]
Boys:
[Christopher nods, whispers] Or getting laid? [shakes his head] I should *not* have said that. [looks at her] Ro’s really good with people who have… issues.
Girls:
[Summer smiles] Well one thing about Silver.. [whispers softly] She’s a sure thing.
Boys:
[Christopher looks at Summer, smiles, whispers back] I kind of picked up on that.
Boys:
[Dominic walks over to the group with a cigarette in hand] What’s with the little pow wow in the middle of the fucking basement?
Boys:
[Glen looks at Dom] Oh, you didn’t know us “su-humans” are supposed to be basement dwellers?
Boys:
[Dom looks at Glen] The sub humans are in the *sub* basement.
Boys:
[Dom smiles] Aren’t you supposed to be in church or something?
Girls:
[Silver smiles at Roland] That’s Dominic. *He’s* an attention whore.
Boys:
[Ro looks over at Dom] Should that surprise me? Because, strangely, it doesn’t.
Boys:
[Glen smiles] Shouldn’t you be on your knees, begging God [crosses himself] for forgiveness?
Boys:
[Dom smiles again] Nice. I fully expected something about corpse fucking. You exceeded my expectations. As always.
Girls:
[Silver shakes her head] It shouldn’t. [looks over at Glen] Dom kneels before no one unless his a graven image of himself.
Boys:
[Glen looks at Silver, smiles] And then there’s that.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Silver, arches a brow] I see we’re still a little.. touchy.
Boys:
[Dom looks back at Glen] She’s just pissed off because I stopped worshipping *her*.
Girls:
[Silver looks at Dom, smiles] Joke babe… it was a joke..asshole.
Boys:
[Dom looks back at Silver, smiles] Slut.
Girls:
[Silver smiles brightly]
Girls:
[Kendra laughs] And all is right with the world.
Boys:
[Glen shakes his head] So who are you worshiping tonight, Dom?
Boys:
[Dom shrugs] *That* remains to be seen.
Boys:
[Glen nods] I’m surprised you weren’t down here right after Sorrow.
Boys:
[Dom walks down the aisle, perusing the cells] I’ve been down a couple of times.
Girls:
[Kendra nods] Seriously, me too. [grins] You missed all the sacrificial virgins.
Boys:
[Glen smiles] Genja snatch all the ones you considered worthy?
Boys:
[Dom looks at Kendra, smiles] Virgins aren’t really that much fun. They require even *more* pretending than the average woman.
Boys:
[Dom shrugs] I didn’t feel like exerting the effort.
Girls:
[Kendra laughs] Damien’s digging his.
Boys:
[Dom nods] When he’s not face down in a prone position, you mean.
Boys:
[Glen arches a brow] That was wrong even for you.
Boys:
[Dom smiles] Of course, it was. Why else would I say it?
Girls:
[Kendra shakes her head] You missed Heather’s performance.
Boys:
[Dom smirks] *No* one misses Heather’s.. “performance”.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Kendra] Just because I didn’t see it tonight, doesn’t mean I missed anything.
Boys:
[Van looks at Kendra, whispers] Vicious.
Girls:
[Kendra nods to Van, quietly] Yeah. [looks at Dom] Okay babe.. what’s bugging you?
Boys:
[Dom smiles] Nothing’s bothering me. [looks over at Hannah] So, Glen… tell me.. is our newest little bloodsucker worth all the effort you’re putting into her?
Boys:
[Glen nods] She will be.
Boys:
[Dom nods, turns his attention back to the cells, takes a drag] I think she will if that little display outside was any indication. Nice touch with the shadows, by the way. Chloe probably would have destroyed her without them.
Girls:
[Chloe looks at Dom, smiles] That’s why I love you, Dom.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Chloe, smiles] I know. It’s a shame *you’re* not in a cell, all nice and human like.
Girls:
[Chloe laughs] I’d only have eyes for you if I was.
Boys:
[Dom takes another drag, smiles] You know Glen knew you’d destroy her, too, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped her.
Girls:
[Chloe smiles] I didn’t.. I thought he was teaching me a lesson.
Boys:
[Glen looks at Hannah, whispers] Do *not* get hot for him.
Girls:
[Hannah shakes her head, quietly] He’s the one that sees dead people right?
Boys:
[Dom nods] I’m sure he was. And he couldn’t have if you’d won. Hence, the little Shadows 101 primer. She shouldn’t even *have* them. She’s not his childe.
Boys:
[Glen nods, looks at Dom] She’s my *responsibility*. It’s fucking close enough.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Glen] Don’t go turning into Damien on us, now. You’ll lose all your appeal.
Boys:
[Glen smirks] I can think of worse guys to emulate.
Girls:
[Chloe shakes her head] He actually taught me a couple..
Boys:
[Dom looks at Chloe] Well, that changes everything. If you knew them and didn’t use them, perhaps you *did* need a lesson.
Boys:
[Brennan whispers to Peyton] And I thought *I* could be an asshole.
Girls:
[Chloe shakes her head] One I did and one I didn’t. [shrugs]
Girls:
[Peyton whispers back to Brennan] He’s usually not quiet this assholey.
Boys:
[Brennan nods]
Boys:
[Dom nods, looks back at the cells] I heard a rumor we were holding an honest to god gypsy. Is there any truth to it?
Girls:
[Mia looks over at Dominic] Yes there is.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Mia, smiles] Show me.
Girls:
[Mia walks over to the cage holding Kat] She even speaks Romanian.
Boys:
[Dom walks over and looks in] Really? Like our illustrious king. I’m surprised he or Lucien didn’t snatch her up.
Boys:
[Glen shakes his head] Lucien got derailed by a tiny little redhead who told him he needed her.
Boys:
[Dom smiles, nods] Typical. [watches Kat] A little rough around the edges, isn’t she?
Boys:
[Akhiro whispers to Van] Of everyone that’s been down here, this is the first one that actually *feels* like a predator.
Boys:
[Van nods]
Girls:
[Kat sits on her cot, her back very straight, head up, eyes bright, barefoot, with a pair of jeans and a midrif top, all of the brightest colors she could lay her hands on, Kat’s eyes lock on Dominic as he looks in at her, Mia quietly] She cleans up well though.
Boys:
[Dom smiles] Oh, I don’t doubt that at all. [to Kat] What’s your name?
Girls:
[Kat stands and in a very thick Romanian accent] I am Princess Katiana Pelligrino.
Boys:
[Dom arches a brow] Princess? A royal gypsy?
Boys:
[Dom smiles] Insofar as gypsies have royalty, anyway.
Girls:
[Kat nods still in her thick accent] Yes, I am royalty.
Boys:
[Dom watches her, still smiling] Is the term “gypsy” offensive to you?
Girls:
[Kat still keeping her eyes on his] It is not. I am proud of my heritage.
Boys:
[Dominic nods] All right. [in a slightly amused tone] It’s rather rude of us to keep a royal personage locked away among the commoners in the filth, don’t you think, Mia?
Girls:
[Mia nods] I do.. I didn’t know she was royal, until just now.
Boys:
[Dom nods] We will rectify this situation immediately.
Girls:
[Mia unlocks the cage that Kat is in]
Boys:
[Dom moves out of the way]
Girls:
[Kat walks over to the door] Thank you.
Boys:
[Dom nods] Of course. [looks at Mia] I would like you to take her upstairs. Find her something to eat, let her bathe and find her some clothes. I’ll get Jace or Seth to fill in for you down here.
Girls:
[Mia nods] As you wish. Shall I put her in your rooms?
Boys:
[Dom nods] Yes.
Girls:
[Mia nods] I will see to it. [looks at Kat] Come on then.. [Heads out of the dungeon to take care of things, Kat follows]
Boys:
[Dom watches them leave] If she’s a princess, I’m still human.
Girls:
[Silver laughs] That’s great. Yet she interests you.
Boys:
[Dom looks at Silver, smiles] She interests me simply because she insists she’s a princess. I’m intrigued by that. Gypsies are known liars and thieves, however, so we should probably check our pockets.
Girls:
[Silver smiles] That’s great. You’re gonna be checking for all your shinies every time she’s close to you.
Boys:
[Dom nods, smiles again] Which should make life rather interesting, don’t you think?
Girls:
[Silver grins] Until she tries to steal your cock ring while you’re fucking her.
Boys:
[Dom laughs] Please. I’d probably enjoy that. [smiles] And I’d let her just to watch her decide whether she had the audacity to actually try and pawn it.
Boys:
[Glen smirks] Do I or don’t I hock the platinum cock ring. Oh, the dilema.
Girls:
[Silver looks at Ro] This is going to be very interesting to see what happens. [whispers] He’ll probably end up making her his slave.
Boys:
[David laughs] Shit. Fuck that. Imagine the pawnbroker tryin’ to decide if he should buy it or send her to a porn shop.
Girls:
[Hannah laughs] Are you kidding, the pawn broker won’t know what it is and when she tells him he’ll flip shit.
Boys:
[Van laughs, nods to David] No shit, right. “On the one hand.. it’s platinum. I buy platinum. On the other hand.. can I really sell a platinum cock ring and *still* consider myself a pawn shop?”
Boys:
[Ro smiles at Silver] And on the other hand.. do porn shops actually do buy backs?
Boys:
[Akhiro shudders] God, I hope not.
Boys:
[Tristan blinks, laughs] Oh.. ew.
Boys:
[Ethan and Conrad crack up]
Girls:
[Hannah laughs] Would *you* but a used cock ring? I would think that’s like a girl buying a used vibrator.
Boys:
[Akhiro looks at Hannah, smiles] I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say we wouldn’t buy *any* used sex toy.
Girls:
[the girls all shudder, Summer] Oh gross.
Girls:
[Hannah nods] Exactly.
Boys:
[Ro nods] However, that doesn’t mean that some.. less reputable.. shops *wouldn’t* in fact buy them back, repackage them and sell them as new. Think about that the next time you’re on the sleazy side of town looking for condoms.
Girls:
[Silver shudders]
Girls:
[Chloe groans] Eeew
Boys:
[Christopher looks at Ro like he’s appalled] I can’t believe you even *think* about things like that.
Boys:
[Ro looks at Christopher, smiles] I’m sorry. Mostly.
Girls:
[Silver looks at Glen, puzzled]
Boys:
[Glen looks at Silver, smiles] Please tell me that look isn’t “what’s wrong with that?” or anything even remotely like it.
Boys:
[Dominic summons Seth and continues his walk around the dungeon while the others discuss used sex toys]
Girls:
[Silver laughs]No.. I was wondering about your tentacles.. do *they* count as used sex toys and what happens to the stuff when they dissipate.
Boys:
[Glen arches a brow] *Why*, Sil? Now *everyone’s* gonna be wondering that.
Boys:
[the boys crack up]
Girls:
[Silver shakes her head, smiles] You asked.
Boys:
[Glen sighs] That doesn’t mean you actually had to answer. Or.. I don’t know.. lie.
Girls:
[The girls shudder again Chloe] Silver that’s…just.. nasty.. and considering he uses different shadows everytime not used.
Boys:
[Dom smiles, listening] They don’t count because they aren’t the same tentacles every time. They’re formed from the shadows. It’s not like he walks around with his own actual set of tentacles attached to him.
Boys:
[Glen looks at Chloe} Thank you. [looks at Dom] You too.
Boys:
[Dom nods] Of course.
Girls:
[Silver smiles, Chloe looks at Glen] No problem
Boys:
[Glen smiles at Chloe] So.. you’ve actually *thought* about this.
Girls:
[Chloe sighs, obviously embarrassed] Well yeah..
Boys:
[Glen arches a brow, still smiling] Interesting.
Boys:
[Glen laughs] Was it in there with “things we could *do*”?
Girls:
[Chloe smiles] I *am* the live anime girl.. what *else* would I think about?
Boys:
[Glen laughs again]
Boys:
[Seth walks in and walks over to Dominic who’s stopped in front of another cell, nods toward Saige] Release her and take her upstairs to Mia.
Boys:
[Seth nods, unlocks the cell door, looks in at Saige] Come on.
Girls:
[Saige smiles stands, looks at Dom] Thank you.
Boys:
[Dom smiles] You’re welcome. We’ll speak later.
Girls:
[Saige goes over to Seth]
Boys:
[Seth closes the door, heads toward the stairs]
Boys:
[Seth closes the door, heads toward the stairs]
Girls:
[Saige goes with him]
Boys:
[Dom finishes his cigarette, drops it on the floor and crushes it out, heads upstairs after them}
Boys:
[the boys watch Dom leave, Van] That was… interesting.
