video: un; apparition (characters 18+ please for the first portion)

[unphase]

[Tinya lounges back wearing a little black dress in her sunroom with her batkitten, her kittens, and her Omen, Moonlight sitting at attention on the armrest of her chair]

So! This may seem like an unusual request, but I'm looking for friends. Friends with benefits, actually. I know that may sound strange, but I miss being close to someone. All are invited to apply, if that makes sense. I want to know whom I'm dealing with before I say yes to anything.

[and a Mona Lisa smile] And is it strange to spend more than five years bouncing between worlds? Who else has been through this? [a teasing smile] You don't necessarily have to be auditioning for the first role to answer, I promise.

I'd have thought subtlety is out of the question once you're propositioning people for relations.

[unphase]

[Tinya laughs heartily] For some, yes. For me, a daughter of Bgztl? A little discretion is called for!

[givetheslip]

I suppose, if you feel you need to.

Should I wish you good luck?

[unphase]

Well...if you really want to wish me luck, you'll buy me a drink? [she says in a tone that makes it clear she's fine either way, they can still be friends no matter the answer]

[givetheslip]

I suppose? I could probably use one myself.

[She says in a tone that says she doesn't quite get it, possibly because she remains fairly clueless in matters of flirting and subtext, despite the exchange they just had. Someone please help her.]

[unphase]

Sounds like a plan. Is there a particular place you like, or should we simply meet at Earworm? [/is more than willing to help]

/sails in after a week+ of vacation

[givetheslip]

That would be fine. I'm not much for going out so I wouldn't know the best places.

[If there are any. Maria generally settles for "affordable, can be consumed without causing stomach upset." The standards are not high.]

no worries, I play at work! And am on verge of sending an inbox invite! Should it be welccome!

[unphase]

Well, I happen to be a night walker, so I know all of the best. Nothing but the best for us.

[Earworm, maybe? then dancing could take place after? Tinya knew all about dancing, from the least provocative to the most]

too late but yes ofc haha

[givetheslip]

[Maria has no idea what she's gotten herself into.]

Sounds better than the worst.

no such thing as too late, I can and will tag on threads for months! 😎

[unphase]

[Tinya will fill her in along the way]

Thank you! So, I'll meet you at Earworm? It's remarkable there, the music seems to fit whatever the mood is. And you can have a conversation, unlike most nightclubs imaginable.

[givetheslip]

Certainly. That sounds fine.

[Seems like a reasonable place for a meeting of gals being pals, she supposes.]

[unphase]

Good, good! So I'll see you there soon!

[and what. to. wear?!]
