XUB3: Downtime Week 2

Postby Winston Sharpe » Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:33 am

"Maq," Winston trembled as he slid his empty shotglass across the bar, "Hit me again."

His figure was prone to awkward fits of shivering as he sat huddled over the bar. His mind for the most part was suprisingly empty, the only thought being on how horrible he felt, like a patient etherized upon a table, the pit of his stomach being sawn at by blind surgeons.

Winston hacked a cough as Maq slipped him another drink.

Ayami shuffled in.

"You look like you've been run over by a truck," she said, bluntly.

"Hmm?" Winston turned around unsure if he was being talked to before smiling faintly, "Hey 'Yami, what's going on?"

Ayami would be able to feel a powerful surge of yearning emanating from Winston, as well as a tinge of lonliness.

"Need?" Winston shrugged and turned back to his glass, "if you want."

"It's nothing you should worry about," Winston sighed before taking his shot and wincing, "It'll resolve itself eventually..."

Winston returned to face Ayami with a smirked, "Well, if you'd like to help I reckon I could think up something."

"Do you think you could mess with my head, relieve it of, um, I guess stress is the best way to put it, that'd be great."

"Please," Winston nodded before his eyes took on a slightly more absent tone, "though I guess if it's a hassle or you don't want too or whatever, then that'd be fine."

"Sure," Winston pushed his empty glass away, focusing himself for Ayami. He began feeling it almost instantly, the rush, emotional adrenaline that soothed and made Winston feel that tiny bit giddy.

He started flexing his fingers and grinned shakily, "Neat."

"It's like making a cocktail--you gotta make sure you add the right layers at the right times," Ayami said, as she added a level of euphoria...

The feeling of joy heightened and came as a great relief, though he could still feel there was something he needed, Ayami's ability was working wonders to dampen it, help it be forgotten.

"Right, right," Winston grinned, "Speaking of cocktails, would you like a drink?"

"Heh, no problem," Winston dug out his wallet and took out a ten pound note which he placed on the bar, "Um...what would you like?"

Winston called Maq over and motioned him for something along the line of Ayami's description.

"Thanks 'Yami, this feeling, it's nice." he smiled back at her.

"Go as in from here?" Winston pointed to his head with his left hand as he passed Ayami her drink.

"Mmhmm. Think about it.

There are six, I guess, cardinal directions, each with a thousand slight variations. The first is fear--abject terror to light anxiety. It's not all bad; that's why some people ride roller coasters. The second is sadness, be it pure hoplesness, actual hurt, or a light embarassment. Not recommended.

Anger. Anger can be powerful and enticing. From your standard light grumpiness to your full blown, room-destroying rage. The primal inner self. Number four is surprise--a sense of astonishment, of amazement and wonder.

Then we get to the desserts. Joy. Pride, triumph, rapture, glee, eagerness--pleasure. And, of course, then there's love, stretching from a tad of affection to full blown passion.

Your choice."

"Sweet, that's quite a selection." Winston scratched his arm as he pondered the options before grinning, "Suprise me...as in do the suprise thing, if you'd be so kind to let me be amazed and filled with wonder."

"Well, if you say so. Amazement it is," she said, twirling her little umbrella in one hand.

Winstons eyes gradually went wider, "woah..." his heart slowed and he looked like he had come to some highly important realisation. Taking a gulp of air Winston continued, "Ok... thanks... can we go back?"

"Sure, but we may need to bring you down juuust a tad. Give you something to focus on to dull the amazement--look at me," she said, turning off the amazement.

And replacing it with a sense of enthrallment.

"Yes..." Winston melted a little, his focus now completely upon Ayami, all other thoughts now only a very weak nagging sensation buried under these emotions, "Ha-have I said thank you yet? For doing this for me?"

"You haven't, no," Ayami smiled, nodding almost inperceptably as she added a level of arousal to the mix of emotions.

"Well," his mind wasn't really even thinking any more, just blurting out how it felt, "For starters you're damn cute and you've struck me as a fairly decent person, what with helping me out without anything in return...is there anything I can do for you?"

"That's sweet, Winston. But I really can't think of anything you can do for me..." she said, slyly, cranking the raw arousal up.

"Let me go get this one," Ayami smiled, leaning across the bar and turning her back to Winston as she orders up another pint.

"Here you are," she said, taking Winston's hand and wrapping it around the glass.

"Thanks..." Winston spaced out, staring longingly at Ayami for a few seconds before snapping back to reality, "Um, I could take you for a walk somewhere if you'd like? Or not if you don't want to..."

"Where do you want to take me?" Ayami said, perhaps not noticing any innuendo due to her second language.
