Putting the Screws to Her

Jun 09, 2005 00:09

MacInnes, one of the more promising new recruits into the revitalised Watchers' Council, all but burst into my office unannounced. My mouth had opened, a stern rebuke against the young man's apparent ignorance of even the most basic of polite manners, but the frantic excitement in his expression stilled my tongue, for the moment.

"Mister Wyndam- ( Read more... )

This so might not have been my best idea. And ya know, regardless of what people somtimes say when they forget I have Vamp! Hearing...I do have ideas. Good ones even. But this? Maybe not so much one of them.

It's just I was in my newest Suite, settling in for room service (Wasn't he shocked to find out I wanted him with that tray od strawberries?) and flipping the channels when I saw it. Errrr....her. Looking way hot and cool all at once, which is like -- COOL! And hot. I mean, who can touch Sharon Stone in 'Basic Instinct', even if it is the edited version? No one I say! No one.

And I will eat anyone who tries. Unless, they are of course, me. Because I am so that hot/cool too. So I think see (and this is the idea part for those who are following) what better to be like Sharon Stone than to be like Sharon Stone? And since I totally hade these lame-o's after me for the longest time, it should be so hard to make happen. I just get dressed - and not dressed *squee* - and made my way to their main place of whatever it was they did. ( ... )

The blonde vampire was, I had to admit, able to disconcert me with her first reaction-- smiling broadly and pleasantly, with an open, almost vacant expression in her eyes. I had to stop and collect my thoughts for a moment, wondering just what kind of opening gambit Harmony might be planning with that as her opening move. I frowned back at her, and directly addressed what she'd said rather than her puzzling behaviour.

"Who's there?"

I crossed my arms, looking quite sternly at the vampire.

"I beg your pardon? What in the blazes are you talking about? Who's where?"

Harmony's expression continued to stare back at me quite befuddled by my reply.

"Ummmm, hello! You pay attention. You did the knock thing, and then I replied, and now there is supposed to be a joke."Frowning even more, I wracked my brain trying to understand the reference the vampire made. With an almost audible grumble, I at last tumbled upon the words in my memory. A 'knock-knock' joke, an infantile kind of humour that I recalled hearing traded by American ( ... )

"I beg your pardon? What in the blazes are you talking about? Who's where?"

Rolling my eyes I sent my hair flipping out of my face. "Umm, hello. Has anyone ever told ya that you suck at all this. Not vampire suck, just suck suck." Pulling a face I shook my head in frustration.

Was it too much to ask to get a cool movie scene going here? I mean really. What a gal has to do for entertainment these days.

I watched the guy pace for a long time. Almost five minutes. Then that got boring, and ok so it more like started out boring but I was trying to be polite. Wasted effort, that. It got me no where and nothing but these tacky bracelets -- which were *so* starting to chaffe. And hello! Do you know how hard it is to keep undead skin moisturized at proper levels?

I'll tell ya.

HARD!!!!!!

"Was there like, something you wanted," I burst out in frustration when I couldn't take the quiet anymore. There wasn't enough 'me' in this whole thing in my personal, expert opinion. Time to fix that.

Unless he uh, wanted me to fix that ( ... )

The vampire called Harmony regarded me with a disdainful, almost exasperated expression in place. No doubt, I assured myself, it was a case of her innate demonic sense of superiority, that damnable arrogance that almost every supernatural being seemed to carry, as if their extranormal nature were something that placed them on a pedestal above the rest of the world's inhabitants. It was one of the traits I disliked the most about vampires and demons in general.

"Umm, hello. Has anyone ever told ya that you suck at all this. Not vampire suck, just suck suck."Interesting. Harmony was already resorting to an attempt to belittle my interrogation skills. It was almost humourous, considering the number of individuals-- demonic, human and otherwise-- I'd 'convinced' to cooperate with the Council on numerous occasions ( ... )
