let me know if you'd rather have our other thread finished before this and i'll delete! <3

[ You know how he was already feeling guilty during their encounter? He's feeling 100x guilty after reading that first line ]

I hope I don't fall under "all the wrong guys" then.

i'm here for it!!

[motivation]

[ how is it that the ones that have no reason to worry are always the ones that worry the most? ]

you really don't
what did i tell you about worrying?

[ in fact, he's too good-hearted to even count as her usual type. he's more like johnny than any of the men she usually sleeps with. (d'avin and alvis are exceptions, but even they aren't as kind-hearted as johnny.) ]

[spectacularluck]

Is it going to make it better or worse if I say I'm only fishing for compliments?

Okay.

It's a 50/50, being worried and fishing for compliments. That's improvement?

[motivation]

better and worse
50/50

[ ;) ]

[spectacularluck]

Walked right into that one. I'll take it.

So.

You were a queen, huh.

[motivation]

not for long

[spectacularluck]

[ He's going to take that answer as an hint that this specific topic falls under the kind of things she prefers not to talk about ]

I was a scientist.

Mostly.

Among other things.

Not that you asked, but I mean, if you were wondering. I can share a whole lot of embarrassing personal facts that will turn all attention away from you.

[motivation]

[ it's not the bit about being queen she doesn't like talking about. it's how her tutor at the royal harem killed her husband the night of the wedding. how she fled in a blood-stained wedding gown.

it became the start of a new life, just not in the way she'd imagined. ]

what kind of scientist

[ another check in the "peter parker reminds her of johnny jaqobis" column. ] let's hear an embarrassing fact, then

[spectacularluck]

A brilliant, but not very successful one? I specialize in chemistry, biology and physics. Engineering's another one.

I had a company under my name until very recently.

[ But it was never truly his, if he's entirely honest. ]

Which might very well count as an embarrassing fact, since I had to destroy it and just about every New Yorker hates me now.

[motivation]

sounds like you have fingers in many pies, if you ask me
why did you have to destroy it?

[spectacularluck]

That's the most accurate description of my entire life I've ever heard.

Yeah, you could say that ...

As for that, it was targeted by a super-villain. Long story. But it was the right thing to do, and I'd do that again in a heartbeat.

[motivation]

gonna continue that here?

[ dutch has been thinking about that on and off, when she hasn't been punching things or sleeping with all the wrong and some right guys. it seems they're stuck here, at least for the time being.

she hasn't been able to figure out a way back yet and this doesn't seem like the kind of thing she can punch her way out of. ]

a super-villain?

[spectacularluck]

No, let me be charming and mysterious! It's my only chance.

Sorry, just didn't format it well. For the record? Twitter's way easier than this thing. Anyway, I just meant that I do have fingers in many, may pies.

[ He's going to take that question to mean that there aren't super villains in Dutch's world, which means there probably are just regular villains. Maybe with less flashy costumes. ]

Super villains are. Huh. You know, evil overlords, out to conquer the world? Or maybe just rob a bank or two. Like criminals, but with special powers and bad taste in clothes.

You don't have anything like that where you're from?

[motivation]

no clue what a twitter is

[ and, well. ]

we have green parasitic alien plasma goo intent on taking over humanity
and someone called the lady pulling the strings from its pools

can't attest to the lady's choice in fashion, she wasn't wearing her own face for most of when i met her

[ that time dutch was trapped in the green and the lady caught her, got into her head, tortured her... yeah, that was fun ]

[spectacularluck]

Okay. That definitely counts as as a super-villain.

And I'm guessing that's why you've got that protection and fighting experience.

[motivation]

actually, no
that came first, the lady came later

i'm a rac agent.

[ but she knew how to fight long before that. even if most of her early training was on how to kill, not how to protect. thanks, khlyen. ]

[spectacularluck]

And is that something I can ask about?

[motivation]

[ and there it is again. that weird thing where he actually respects her wishes. ]

yeah
reclamation agent. killjoy. but i'm guessing if rac agent didn't tell you anything, that won't either

think mercenaries but better respected than law enforcement

[spectacularluck]

I think I get the idea. Sounds dangerous. Sexy? Can I say sexy? I do like uniforms.

[motivation]

very sexy
but i hate to break it to you
there are no uniforms

[ well ]

except for official functions

[spectacularluck]

That is decidedly less sexy, so I think I can live without the uniform fantasy just this once.

By the way, if it weren't already glaringly obvious, all of this is me saying "hey, I'd like to actually get to know you".

[motivation]

there's lots of leather and thigh holsters in my every day wear, if that helps

[ but then he continues and - ah. get to know her. that brings her up short for a moment. sex is one thing. sex is easy. the same goes for banter. but announcements like that? ]

get to know me how?

[spectacularluck]

In a friendly way? Emotional openness not required unless you ever feel like it.

[motivation]

i hope "friendly" isn't your way of saying "no sex"

[ that's a yes, by the way. ]

[spectacularluck]

I wasn't fishing for compliments this time and somehow it was more effective.

It's a full package. My friendship. My body. My incredibly charming personality.

[motivation]

[ hells, he even has the same cheesy brand of humour as johnny ]

throw in some alcohol and you've got yourself a deal

[spectacularluck]

I should maybe say something about that part, but I've seen the amount of alcohol you can take.

You're going to have to drink my part too, though.

[motivation]

or you could not say anything about that part
and that won't be a problem

[spectacularluck]

It's a deal then. Hooray for friendship?

[motivation]

yay
