[cosmicmistake]

What?

[overarches]

i think the city’s having a laugh at our expense

otherwise people here are more open sexually than i assumed

[cosmicmistake]

[ fuck. ]

Fuck. Sorry about that.

[overarches]

don’t be. i’m not offended.

where do you work?

[cosmicmistake]

I own Subversion.

I'm Hope.

[overarches]

sounds like an interesting environment

( not that he's making notes of where to find all these oversharing strangers. )

archie.

i don't know why but i feel like this isn't the most unusual way to meet someone here.

[cosmicmistake]

It's a BAR. Thanks.

It's really not. Could have been stuck under the sex rain or had the fuck wine.

[overarches]

with private rooms?

( he's guessing from the context of the message unless she'd been referring to her office. )

please tell me there's a wine actually labeled 'fuck wine'.

[cosmicmistake]

Yes, private rooms. But yeah, I have an office.

There isn't, but there should be.

[ a pause and then. ]

You used to work here, you know.

[overarches]

i guess that would take all the fun out of whammying people. too on the nose for surprise! you're naked now and you definitely wanna screw!

( bunch of jerks. )

i did? did i clean the floors or something?

[cosmicmistake]

No, you were a partial owner.

[overarches]

duplicity is full of curveballs. i own two business back home but not to any degree of success.

( they're standing? )

so what happened? it rolled over to you by like, an inheritance kind of deal?
and since i'm asking, do you need a janitor?

( he's not too proud for any level of work, dom or not. )

[cosmicmistake]

Something like that, yeah.

[ with a few more of those duplicity curveballs. ]

I'm sure we can find something better than janitor. What kinds of businesses do you own back home?

[overarches]

a construction company and a community center that moonlights as a boxing gym. it's a part of it. we teach the kids self-defense and try to keep them busy.

( off the streets, away from a life of crime. )

i guess what i'm getting at is i'm not afraid of hard labor.

[cosmicmistake]

If you want to be a janitor, you can be a janitor.

Or a bus boy, or a bar back... a lot of things.

[overarches]

only if you need a hand? i'm only asking because you're the first person i've met with a bar.

[cosmicmistake]

I can always use a hand and I'd love to have you back.

[overarches]

what exactly am i living up to?

we were friends before?

[cosmicmistake]

We barely knew each other so I guess it'll be a fresh start for both of us.

[overarches]

to be honest, i apprieacte that more. i don't have to pretend to be something i'm not.

[cosmicmistake]

Yeah, I like it better that way, too.
