Curt Wild, do you have an update for me? I assure you I won't extort the information for chips.

My condolences to those of you close to Dorian Gray. He'll be missed.

...is there anything of his you want? Dorian's I mean.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't ask for something not set aside to be mine, but thank you.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm considering getting rid of the lot, so if there's something you want, I can make you a deal.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

What's your price?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

What are you interested in?

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

What do you have that's left?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

The clothes went to Caspian, I'm keeping the house and the alcohol. Everything else is negotiable.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

He had a cane he favored.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

What do you offer me for it?

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

Let me offer you something you need, if you'll tell me what that is.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

...I was thinking making one of the rooms an artits' studio. I don't suppose you have any easels or racks for drying paintings?

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I have more than that. Part of the Palace is a gallery, I have enough to equip a small but professional studio.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

You do?

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I do. I pride myself in being a patron of the arts.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'll end up buying from you.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I thought we were negotiating a trade.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

A full room's worth of art supplies and furniture is worth a bit more than a single cane.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I have no objections to playing fair but let's have you tour what I have to offer before we close any deals.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Very well, when would you like to meet?

[thewildone]

I've got a band together and we're called Time Bomb. Things are definitely rough around the edges, but I'm looking into venues for a short set. I think it's time to see if we sink or swim, you know?

About that last curse

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I like that attitude.

If I'm ever thirteen again

I'll let you know where and when, as soon as I know.

2/2

[thewildone]

By the way, if you were wondering what was up with thirteen-year-old me, the main answer would be electroshock.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to pry but if you're entertaining questions I'll ask more.

[thewildone]

Go ahead. It's something I'm used to most people knowing, anyway, even if what they know is mostly rumor.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

What was it for. I have some ideas but I'd rather hear it from the source.

[thewildone]

It was supposed to keep me from growing up into a fag. I guess there's a sense in which you could say it was successful. There's also a sense in which you could say it was a total failure.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

You'll have to clarify that contradiction for me.

[thewildone]

Well, one of my very favorite activities is making love to a pretty girl, but that's never really kept me away from the boys.

[caughtthebullet.livejournal.com]

Either you're bisexual or you're an opportunist, but I suppose you can make a case for being both.

[thewildone]

I'm bisexual. I might also be an opportunist, but that's not the point. I mean, it's not just anyone, not always.
