fandom_muses, topic 30: Secrets
Telling secrets...that's just not something I do. It's not a part of a Companion's training. Keeping them is. We keep our client's confidence, and as for secrets about ourselves...well. Our mystery, our elusiveness...it's part of our allure. In truth, that's any woman. Not just a Companion, but most every woman ever born. Our hearts are a tangled ( Read more... ) -

Positions, techniques, partner compatibility...honestly, what do you want to know ( Read more... ) -
I don't suppose that anyone is terribly surprised.

fandom_muses, topic 26: How far would you go to get what you wanted?
Sometimes the things we think we really desire we later discover aren't at all what we wanted.
When I was a Companion on Sihnon, I was...dedicated. Focused. Determined. I wanted to advance in standing with the Guild. I wanted to be at a place where I would never have to worry about trivial matters like finances ever again. That makes me sound like a ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, Topic #25: Pet Peeves
A word: Whore.
I am not a whore. And to be honest, I object to even the use of the word "courtesan." I do not demand such a high price for my time simply because I'm, to put it in Jayne's crude language (if one can demean the word 'language' in such a way), 'better than your average screw.'
Companions are not whores, or courtesans. I could argue ( Read more... ) -

If you could do one thing and there would be no consequence to doing it, what would you do?
[Locked to all those on board SERENITY]
I'd tell him everything.
Starting at the beginning. The very beginning. I'd tell him everything about me--my life, my struggles, my heartaches and fears, my hopes, my dreams. I'd tell him why I left Sihnon. I'd tell him ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic 23: Pain
Pain was a careless and hurtful word on the lips of the man she respected.
Whore. How's business? How about I stay out of yer whorin', you stay outta my thievin'? Must maintain the image of a lady. They teach you that at the whore academy?
It shouldn't hurt. It shouldn't even matter to her, but it did. A painful soul hurt that cut deep and festered ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic 20: Three Passions
A Companion is, first and foremost, a creature of passion.
If I were to argue with a certain Captain the true reason that clients seek out the company of a Companion, the answer would not be, as is so often thought, sex. That's part of it, of course, should the client wish it--and most do. But any man--or woman, for that matter--can find a willing ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic #19: Habits
Oh, I have a few. More than most would think. Companions are superstitious creatures--we simply chose not to let others know it. It's...more tradition, than true superstition, I suppose. A Companion won't leave the training house without another Companion striking a flint at her back. They won't sleep with their pillow facing north. They count the ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic #18: Greatest Regret
[locked from the crew of Serenity]
It's funny...I find it hard to look back on one mistake and pick it out as the worst I ever made, the thing that haunts me the most on nights of indulgent self-pity.
Oh, if Mal could read this, he'd mock me to scorn. Yes, every so often even I find myself wallowing in self-pity. It's rare, true. But it does happen.
