Jay- [She doesn't get out his full name before her voice chokes off.

Vibrant blue eyes take in his appearance almost clinically as he curls against her side. A blind man would see that he isn't alright but this is not Enis's area of expertise.

She lightly brushes her fingers through his hair, hoping that it is in some form conforting.

Enis is really not good at this...

FL Studios is open on her computer so she takes her headsets and gently places them on Jason's head, playing the song she'd been working on when he'd first messaged her. It wasn't much but it was a eat insight into her, one that she didn't share with others.]

[snowjoke]

[He flinches a bit at the touch but relaxes after a moment. he was far from alright, Things didn't work out how they were expected to so now he's a sad tired man.


he lets the headphones slip on and he listens, confused but the longer it goes on he starts to enjoy it.]

You make that?

[He finally looks up at her, his eyes bloodshot but at least he's actually saying something instead of forcing Enis to cuddle him.
]

[blindpuppet]

Yeah.

[Enis doesn't mind cuddling but she's never... done... this... before...

She never let herself get close enough to have to worry about things like this. She's had sex but that isn't the same kind of intimacy and she kinda hates how nice it feels to have someone curled up against her side.

Damn it.]

Organizing music helps me organize my thoughts.

[She shifts over so that there is room for Jason to snuggle against her side without possibly falling off the bed and begins to lightly pet his head again since he hadn't seemed to hate that.]

What do you think?

[snowjoke]

[This was new to him as well, he was new to getting comfort from someone who hasn't wanted something sexually.

He wiggles a bit and snuggles against her again closing his eyes for a second. He doesn't have a healthy outlet for his emotions or his thoughts.]

I liked it...

[He's quiet for a moment trying to think of it.]

Sounds like you really felt it, in like... a good way

[smokedout]

[That's a tough question, and for a moment he wonders if she deserves an honest answer. She's been a positive influence in his life, and that's a rare find, but she's just useful. She isn't important and she certainly isn't someone he wants to be emotionally close to. It just isn't worth it to let someone in on that, and Dodger has been burned enough times not to risk it for a pretty face.]

His powerset isn't worth what I want. We'll find another deal for that later.

[It implies he has a plan, when really he's been searching for one since he got here. Loki seemed like a prospect, but he's lost interest in the man and Loki doesn't seem keen to get the attention back on himself. If push comes to shove, he might have to settle for taking orders from Ivar.]

How about this - you tell me what you're capable of, and I'll tell you what he's capable of. Equal exchange for equal goods.

[He needs to pull this conversation back into terms he's comfortable with - information exchange, secret-keeping, and toying with others.]

[blindpuppet]

[Enis reaches forward and lightly runs the tips of her fingers from Dodger's elbow down to his wrist.] That is a fair trade. [She won't tell him everything because he had phrased his question poorly but she will answer him.] I was human, once. Now I am have both hardware and software in my body that allows me to heal faster, replicating my cells perfectly.

[She won't die from natural means.]

I have heightened physical attributes as well but I have never tested it's full range. [Enis is stopping the change that will make her truly dangerous and entirely in-human.] I have mastered computer science and hardware. I do not claim to be an inventor but I can build or program anything.

My last skill and one that you might find interesting is a mixture of chemistry and biology. [She's a lot better at chemistry but she doesn't think that Dodger cares.] I saw the marks on your arm before. I can create a drug using legal components that will be unlike anything you've experienced before.

[She's created a similar toxic that's currently holding back her change.]

It could even use the natural heat in your body to alter it's state. If I get the compound correct. [She lightly taps the pad of her finger against his wrist.] Your turn.

[blindpuppet]

[Her touch gently moves from his head to his shoulders, trailing the tips of her fingers along the muscles of his neck in slow affectionate movements. Enis doesn't want to startle him and makes sure that he knows he can pull away from her if he wants too.

She leans against the pillow and wall behind her and relaxes despite the fact that her laptop is digging into her knee. It doesn't hurt yet and the headphone cable doesn't reach far enough for her to set it on her nightstand.]

I don't know what I felt. [Enis has never been good with emotions of any kind.] But it's good to get it out.

You should find a way to do that too.

[Even if that means crying to her.

She pauses briefly, looking down at him as her fingers run through his hair.] You seemed happier as a dog. [She wonders if something happened with Dodger but doesn't ask. She knows Dodger well enough to guess that he's an ass to Jason, more so after he made it sound like Jason was not his friend.]

Will you be alright?

[Spoken like a truly awkward person who has never comforted anyone in their life.]

[smokedout]

[There's a moment, as her fingers brush over the wraps on his forearms, that he tenses visibly. Her voice seems to fade out for a moment, but he blinks back into reality and tries not to call too much attention to the discomfort. His eyes are fixed on her hands, as if expecting her to hurt him.]

That's hard to imagine... I've tried a lot of things.

[Saturn's Blood comes to mind. A cocktail of blood, alcohol, drugs and whatever else Arzial cooked up in his twisted little head, that devoured chunks of time from the drinker's mind and left them at the mercy of fate.

When she taps his wrist, he pulls his hand back and places it pointedly in his lap.]

In my world we draw a line between humans and mutants. They're the same species, but they're not the same thing. Knowing someone's status is a bargaining chip to someone like me - it can mean the end of someone's life if they're found out.

[Not that Jason had much of a life to speak of, before Augustine picked him up.]

Stevenson's got frost powers. His body's cold, he can make it colder - he can make frost appear around him, or make the room into a refrigerator. Last I remember about him, I was trying to show him how to make icicles in his hands, but it's not exactly my area of expertise.

[It isn't like frost mutants are crawling out of the woodworks to work in weapon production.]

He can turn invisible, too. Can still hear, touch, smell him, [taste him] but can't see him. He's a clumsy fuck, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I've seen people with better control of powers like his - he could be real dangerous with some work, but he's not much right now. He's, ah... rough around the edges.

[snowjoke]

[The touches were weird and made him a bit nervous but he doesn't struggle away from them. The headphones are awkwardly on his head but he doesn't really have the energy to do anything about it, he's starting to feel bad just showing up here and moping around like this, he just didn't want to be alone. There's to many new things going on and he doesn't know how to cope with it.]

How would I do somethin like that?

[He doesn't have good coping methods, usually, drugs or he just ignores it till it goes away. he doesn't have anything he's familiar with besides Dodger and he's the main issue right now. ]

I wasn't... I guess.

[He's silent for a moment it looks like he could cry.]


I dunno. Probably... I just dunno what I did wrong.

[He's someone who's never really been comforted till recently and it's kinda messing with him.]

[blindpuppet]

You should try me.

[It sounds more sexual than she had originally meant it but Enis doesn't correct herself. Dodger is confusing but he's a known entity. She trusts him to be himself and that's enough. It isn't really trust but Dodger will always be unpredictable and detached and Enis is comfortable with that.

She leans forward and flashes him a brief smile before leaning back and draping a leg across his thighs.]

I might be able to help him.

Counter to you, I get ice. [There is more to it than that but Enis isn't getting into her fathers work. Hopefully he'd been asleep when the memory had played over the network.][The flirting and innuendos will never stop.]

[blindpuppet]

Find something you like and learn.

[She has no idea what he wants from her but if it's a hobby.] I can teach you about this. [He's already heard one of her songs.] Get you set up to do it yourself too. [Enis pauses in her ministrations to gently take the headphones from his head and put both them and her laptop onto the nightstand.]

Sometimes things are clearer when you stop focusing on them.

[Enis lightly taps his forehead.]

Close your eyes and I want you to describe a beautiful place to me. Somewhere you enjoy. Don't focus on what you did or didn't do. Just tell me about this place.

[snowjoke]

[He doesn't really know if he could do anything like Enis creates, he doesn't have the focus for it.]

It's hard not to focus on them... It's just so out of the ordinary.

[He scrunches his nose as she pokes him looking up at her for a moment before closing his eyes.]

Sounds dumb but alright... [He's quiet for a moment just thinking.]
I think... like a nice place full of plants, it's just full of comfy stuff to sit on and sleep and junk... I've never been to a place like that though.
[He's always been in a city, as a child he wasn't allowed near the garden. ]

It's nice and cozy and I can look at plants, come and go as I please... just a nice place that I can settle my head when it's all fucked up and jumbled.

[blindpuppet]

[Enis settles in next to him and continues the gentle strokes of her hand. She brushes his curls away from his eyes and closes her eyes to listen. It is stupid but this is something that Enis does when she misses dreaming.

Another thing her father had stolen from her that she misses.]

What colors and sizes are the pillows?

[It doesn't have to be a place he's been before. They can create it together.]

Is it on the floor or a bed or a sea of blankets?

[snowjoke]

[He lets out a very small sigh as he thinks about it.]

It's in alot of blankets and stuff, there are big and small pillows good for holding onto tightly and just burying in... I think their alot of colors but nothing to bright and stuff, the blankets are soft and you can just curl up in them and they smell nice and soft. Feels safe.

[He's relaxing quite a bit, almost dozing off as he talks and distracts himself from everything that's tugging on his mind.]

[blindpuppet]

[Enis doesn't stop petting him but her voice softens to a warmer tone when she notices Dodger drifting off.]

Tell me about the plants. What kind? Do they have flowers?

[She slowly begins to form a picture of his world in her mind and it brings a rare little smile to her lips.]

[snowjoke]

[He hasn't really slept the last few nights, he takes a deep breath thinking of what the plants look like, Enis had a calming presence to her as well as the gentle touches.]

They have a lot of leaves... some of them have flowers. Their big and there's a lot.

[He doesn't know plants at all not really having the time to look into them, but he loves all of them, tropical ones with big leaves tend to be his favorite. His words getting slower as he relaxes against Enis's side.]

Sorry, I'm being a sad sack of shit.

[He wanted to have a good time getting to know Enis but he's feeling really guilty.]

[smokedout]

[There's a slight pause before he lets out a quiet, rough laugh.]

I have tried you.

[His hand moves idly up her leg, before just as casually lifting her up and placing her properly on his lap, straddling him. His fingers stray around to her lower back - there isn't a single scar on her body, and yet his mark is still there. The pads of his fingers trace the shape, so familiar after branding half the people in the city back home.]

Whatever you do with Stevenson is your own prerogative. Our boss isn't here, once he's done being a dog he'll stop being my business.

[This is a lie.]

Closed to Rhys [Working Hard]

[blindpuppet]

[Enis's work area was relatively clean. She knew where everything was and had a two foot section of the table that was cleared of anything that she wasn't giving her immediate attention too. Right now it was a simple repair on a radio and she isn't really paying attention to what she's doing since it's such an easy task.

It's moments like these that she makes herself more aware of what Rhys is doing. They have managed to work in harmony these last few weeks but there are times when he distracts her to the point where it's dangerous.

The soldering iron clips the tip of her finger and she curses, pressing her palm to her forehead to fight back the program that's trying to rev in her head.]

Fuck me.

[Enis groans as she drops everything onto the table.]

[blindpuppet]

[Enis rolls her eyes a second before Dodger pulls her into his lap. She doesn't know about the brand on her lower back but she feels the tips of her fingers glide against sensitive skin and shivers.

It's really annoying how much her body enjoys his touch...]

Huh. [She hums the word in an unconvinced tone.] Then I'll do whatever I want to him.

[Maybe she's just trying to get a rise out of Dodger, it's hard to say. She sits comfortably on his lap, letting her arms drape over his shoulders.]

[blindpuppet]

[Enis begins making a list in her head of everything that Jason's describing. It's a very easy list to make real. It will likely happen in stages and will involve sneaking into his room but there is time for all the semantics later. Right now she just wants to learn what he might like.

Not because she cares... nope... absolutely not that. It's just so that he can sleep and bother her less... yeah... that's it.]

It's only annoying when you apologize.

[She doesn't mind him being sad but if he's going to be sorry about it then he should stop or leave. It makes no sense to be sorry about just existing.] The company is nice. [She's used to being alone, so this is different.]

So stop feeling guilty about being here. I will let you know when I am tired of you.

[snowjoke]

Fine then you're gonna deal with me being a sad sack of shit.

[he just cuddles into her a bit more, this was one weird lady...]

Only guilty cuz I just met you... wanna be like that...

[He lets out a small huff thinking of something to say.]

You keep asking questions about me, but what about you? what's your deal.

[smokedout]

[His eyes light up a bit, seeing how his touch seems to affect her. His hand stray down to rub over the backs of her thighs, properly exploring her as well as encouraging her to shift about on his lap.]

Good. He could use the experience.

[He laughs softly, like sandpaper rubbed together. He leans up and his lips brush against hers, bringing that smell and taste of smoke and gasoline.]

If you don't mind, I'm a little more interested in what you're planning to do for me.

[blindpuppet]

[Stupid body...

Her hips shift and grind gently against him as his palms rub over the back of her thighs. She can feel the heat of his body against her skin but tries to ignore it. It doesn't work but she's trying not to be swept away by him... again.]

I have no plans.

[She admits easily, her lips moving against his as she spoke.]

Why don't you tell me what you want from me in slow excruciating detail and I'll do that. Then I can request whatever else I want from you and we'll be even. [It's so much easier if there is a deal involved and there isn't much that Enis will say no to.]

[blindpuppet]

Mmm? Isn't that what I've been doing? [It isn't as if he hasn't been anything except a sad sack.]

And that's because I'm curious about you. Dodger has told me a little but I'd prefer to hear things first hand.

[Enis exhales a soft sigh in response to his question.]

What do you want to know? My name is Enis Edrin. I like making music which no one else knows so you better keep that to yourself. My father is an ass who experimented on me. [The last part had been a shared memory over the network and is now common knowledge so she doesn't mind repeating it.]

[snowjoke]

[He didn't really have a plan for what he wanted to know about her, so that much was probably enough to satisfy him for now.]

He talked about me? what did he tell ya?

[He's curious about it now looking up at her.]

My old man was a piece of shit to.

[Solidarity.]
