... so he asks if he can see me, but I haven't got one of these webcam things, so I just told him what I was wearing... next thing I know, he's gone all quiet. Came back on about 5 minutes later and logged off. I mean, how rude is that? This internet thing is very odd.

What did I tell you about weirdos online? He just wanted to wank off to you.

What were you wearing?

From:

mme_depompadour

Pants.

From:

off_c

It's a good thing you don't have a webcam.

If a guy online asks you what you're wearing, or what you look like, or about anything sexual, he is after a wank and you should stop talking to him. Because he's obviously not going to be interested in making an effort on your behalf.

*snags a glass of wine and drinks*

Unless you like guys being rude and wanking over you.

From:

mme_depompadour

Hmm. Okidoki.
*drinks*

What does assle mean? And rotfle?

From:

off_c

Age/Sex/Location. Wankers being lazy.

Rolling on the Floor Laughing. Lazy overreaction to something mildly amusing. You want someone who bothers to type in complete sentences.

*goes over to your computer and pulls up a web page*
*bookmarks it*
There you go.

From:

mme_depompadour

Oh...
*reads*
oh, I see... thank you. That's handy.

Did you hurt yourself? You're walking a bit funny.

From:

off_c

*blushes*]
No, um... I didn't...

Remember the stuff I bought yesterday? Let's just say inspiration struck. Hard.

From:

mme_depompadour

*laughs*
Well, you brought it on yourself, I suppose. As long as you had fun.

*shuts her laptop down*
I think I'll give up on this internet for a bit. Maybe I will ask Jack for some advice on where to find some casual sex.

From:

off_c

I loved every second of it. I love being sore today. It was worth every penny.

*sitting on her hip*
Good idea. Although I'm under the impression that casual sex finds him.

God, I can just imagine you two going out on the prowl together. You'd probably leave a trail of people passed out in your wake.

From:

mme_depompadour

*giggles*
One can but hope.

Would you be okay to take Penny one evening this week? If he's got time, of course...

From:

off_c

Sure, no problem.

Um, I think I should warn you. He's got Tom in him again. Not to the extent where Tom's taking control, but definitely in there. Maybe you should postpone your trip until that's been taken care of.

From:

mme_depompadour

Oh. Alright.
*sighs*
Back to the drawing board for now, then, I suppose.

From:

off_c

I'd offer to take you out, but I'd have to get Ianto's permission first.

Maybe you should just try going to a bar or a pub, check out what's available, get a feel for the scene.

From:

mme_depompadour

Do you really have to... ? Gosh, that's... fascinating.

Maybe I will. I'll let you know if I need a babysitter.

From:

off_c

Of course I have to. And what's more, I'd really want to. If going out with you is an assignment from him, it makes it so much better, it strengthens our connection. Plus he might give me other things to do, ways to dress, ways to be reminded of him, that'd make it exciting for me.
*smiles*
Oh, it's so worth it, Reinette.

Please, any time at all. We're happy to take her.

From:

mme_depompadour

You make it all sound terribly romantic. More wine?

From:

off_c

Please.
*holds out her glass*

Oh, god, it is, Reinette. It all requires a huge amount of thought and attention on his part. All that time, all that energy, all focusing on how my mind works, imagining ways to make me even more his. What could possibly be more romantic than that?

Have you ever had a man so completely focused on you?

From:

mme_depompadour

*sighs*
No.

*drinks*
I've never even been with anyone who was monogamous.

From:

off_c

Never?

...Is that something you wanted?

From:

mme_depompadour

... yes. As I got older and had children and... yes, I did. I just wanted to be the most important person in someone's life for once... to have someone all to myself. That would be lovely, I imagine.
