She wouldn't shut up. :|

[pulselancer]

Well, alright now.

[In strolls a dark-haired woman, looking the main room over very carefully as she goes, though it seems like nothing more than a passive, disinterested glance at her surroundings. She stops in the center, one hand on her hip, and sighs.]

I'm here. You asked, I came. So what now? Somethin' in it for me?

[She flops backwards into a rather comfy looking overstuffed leather armchair, crossing her legs and drumming her fingertips against the armrests.]

Besides the comfy furniture, I mean.

That's where the "of sorts" comes in. It's more like a world between all the other worlds. There's a ton of places like this, and they're all connected in their own little freaky solar system.

In short, what you do here doesn't really affect anything else out there.

Catch my drift?

[pulselancer]

Really? Now that's interestin'.

[Her attention goes to the moon, but only briefly. She grins at Axel again.]

Alright, I think I'm catchin' on. Is there somethin' I'm supposed owe you for playin' welcome committee?

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

[Axel smiles like kerosene.] How about a name?

[pulselancer]

[That's a dangerous smile. But, Fang lives on the edge.]

Fang. Do I get yours in return?

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

Fang? Simple, descriptive, and very apt. I like it.

I'm Axel.

[pulselancer]

Axel. Not quite as descriptive, but definitely seems to work for you.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty accommodating when I need to be.

[pulselancer]

And the rest of the time?

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

I do what I want.

[pulselancer]

Completely? No strings attached? Best way to live.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that. Everyone has strings attached somewhere. But as long as I do what I'm told, I get to go out and play afterward. [He shrugs.] There's something in it for me, so it's not like I'm being forced to.

[pulselancer]

And here I was, thinkin' you had all the freedom in the world. I was about to be even more impressed [She shrugs~] Oh well, it's probably close enough.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

[Axel almost looks hurt for a moment.]

Is that how you live your life, Fang? Free as a bird? I'm jealous.

[pulselancer]

[That wins Axel a very, very dark and humorless laugh. She shakes her head, smirking at him.]

Now, I never said that. I think you've got me beat, If we're bein' honest here.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's too bad. A pretty girl like you doesn't deserve to be caged up like a thing.

[pulselancer]

It's a pretty big cage. Short leash, though.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

Heh. I've been there before.

... A few times.

[pulselancer]

Sounds like there's a good story behind that.

[pyroantics.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. That's neither here nor there, but... I like listening to other people's stories more than my own voice.

[Sometimes.

... Never.

But she's hot. So he'll listen.]
