If anything, you're the kitten, because you have cat ears sometimes.

But I figured. Edward doesn't seem to listen to anyone, and Wiktor is...

[He clicks his tongue.]

He's kinda spooky. Where are you gonna go?

From:

anashthetic

Mm, no, only my girlfriend's allowed to call me 'kitten' and last I checked you had no plans to be a girl anytime soon. It's different if I do it at you since I'm actually a cat.

Oh, Wiktor's lovely! He's also a fucking asshole and a bafflingly weird man all in all, which is why we get on; let me get wasted off him once, which was nice...

[HAVING TO EXPLICITLY SAY THEY GRADUATED: SUCCESSFULLY AVOIDED. FOR NOW.]

Moving forwards I'll be in the library? Considering I'm still banned from being infirmary staff I don't exactly have a great deal of options.

From:

astraymoon

I have no plans on changing my junk. I hate my name, not my junk. Unless you're planning on becoming my bae...maybe no kitten for you, honey bug.

[Ashton, graduated? Someone getting upgraded? Nah, never even came to mind!]

Well, good that Wiktor was your donor but...damnit. That would have been super helpful if you were in the infirmary.

From:

anashthetic

You're a decade too young for me, puppy, try again in ten years~

You see, I was. Originally. And then I stalked and killed four people, without utilizing the infirmary in any way, shape, or form in that process, and the staff collectively voted to kick me out of my position and prevent me from returning.

From:

astraymoon

Aww, but baby you know you want me~

[He doesn't mean it, but it's dumb. He needs some dumb.]

You really do love murder as solutions, huh Ashton. Well this sucks.

From:

anashthetic

You wish. Just because your age-appropriate dating pool is tiny doesn't mean you should set your sights above~

--look, I'm not proud of it, it's just I was very good at that sort of thing. And was convinced I was fundamentally evil and broken as an entity at the time, which, you know, sometimes that happens.

From:

astraymoon

I mean, it would be great if I got laid, but I know it's not gonna happen. With anyone.

[Some things are a great escape!]

I'm getting a feeling we got a lot of those around these parts. The whole, you know, think you're evil thing.

From:

anashthetic

Should've shot your shot during the flood - there were a few teenagers back then, statistically one of them would've gone for it.

[Embarrassingly(?) enough, nineteen-year-old Ash would've gone with it.]

As I said: it happens.

From:

astraymoon

There were a lot of babies around too. Little kids. And I don't think anyone would, really.

[He shrugs.]

It's fine. And guess it does. World goes on.

From:

anashthetic

Well, I wasn't talking about those infants, now was I? It's too late to know now irregardless.

From:

astraymoon

Meh.

They would have freaked out about me going down on them any way.

From:

anashthetic

[Before her ill-used, overworked, very fatigued common sense can kick in and stop her from saying it:] Normally that only happens if you're bad at it.

From:

astraymoon

I've practiced enough that I'm good at it.

[He sniffs.]

Porn stars wish they had my stamina.

From:

anashthetic

[Ash laughs, bright and amused.]

Shame that you can't put that on your resume, then.

From:

astraymoon

Too bad I have no idea how to become a porn star.

From:

anashthetic

Step one: don't live within an almost entirely closed community on an interdimensional ship where everyone knows who's fucking each other and we only get proper fresh air four times a year. A step which we've both already failed, incidentally.

From:

astraymoon

Well, good thing the only thing I want is drugs, booze, and an exit.

Nothing too extreme. The drugs, still working on.

From:

anashthetic

Good luck on that. I'd give you an actual hookup if I had one, except the whole 'dead' thing does mean substances only affect me through someone else, so no point.

Have you checked with Hanna Cross? Strange little man, but he should have magical equivalents. [Beat.] And if anyone on this ship might know someone on it with actual non-magical drugs, I suspect it'd be him.

As far as an exit goes... that took me about thirteen months from when I was paired? You'll get there. Just not for a while.

From:

astraymoon

The best hookup you likely have is your bite. No, I haven't met him, or his wondrous non magical drugs.

[Well, at least he doesn't sound as bad as Malcolm. A werewolf and a therapist. Ick.]

...wait. You're a warden now? I thought they were just, I don't know. Kicking you out or something.

From:

anashthetic

My bite's not an option, puppy. You ever been bitten, properly bitten, by a vampire before?

...and you don't have to sound so disbelieving.

From:

astraymoon

Noooo? I've never met a vampire before you, walking biohazard.

And it's not disbelief. Just...I dunno. Feel like...things changed fast, is all.

From:

anashthetic

As best you know, you haven't met any. A great deal of us care more about passing for human than I do and are better at it, besides.

[Yeah, he could put his fangs away and simulate the blush of life, but why would he do that?]

If you'd known me when I first arrived here, you'd get it. It's not about redemption, it's about getting me in a position where I'm not liable to burn down my own life at any imagined provocation anymore.

From:

astraymoon

You mean not everyone wants to be a walking blond gothic?

Well. Makes sense. But if they're also limited to cities and nighttime...I dunno.

And...I mean. It's. It's great. You're. You're...able to leave. Be the bartender you wanted.

So...um. Good for you.

From:

anashthetic

...I'm not planning on going anywhere permanently for quite some time. Certainly not until Sokie graduates her inmate.

So you're stuck having to tolerate my presence, puppy~
