So, darlings.

A couple of things:

Firstly, I'm wondering what people have against one of the oldest professions? Yes, yes, I understand how young I am, but really is that your only objection?

Secondly, I am looking for a hand to hand sparring partner. While my sword skills are impressive, I'm afraid that my hand to hand has gone to the way side. I find that... unacceptable.

[ Her beating had brought that home. But she's not mentioning that. She adjusts herself in front of the console, wearing that ridiculously fluffy robe that she loves. Of course it's white. ]

So, darlings. Anyone willing to step up and answer either of those?

Comments

[looksfine]

[...well, it wasn't the worse reaction Aya had ever gotten for asking a question.]

I see.

[There was no signs of scandal or embarrassment at this revelation. If anything, she seemed that much more curious.]

I am familiar with the concept of most carbon-based life forms engaging in sexual reproductive acts in order to continue passing along beneficial biological patterns to offspring. It is most beneficial to any species which wishes to survive with the passing of time. However, I was not aware there was a profession exclusive to engaging in such acts for monetary gain.

[celticromanstone]

Yes, there is. Based in the Fire District.

[looksfine]

[It's true what they say: you learn something new every day.]

But there are those who...oppose this...profession?

Why?

[celticromanstone]

Because they oppose paying for it. It's rather an ancient prejudice that I've never understood.

[looksfine]

[Oh. Well...in some fashion, Aya could almost understand that much. Or, at least, she thought she did. Form her perspective. In the sense that she was familiar with the concept of others not wanting to pay for things when they believed those things should be provided at no cost at all.]

Perhaps they simply believe it is their right to produce offspring without the need for another to profit?

[There was no judgement here. Merely attempting to logic her way through the opposers train of thought.]

Unfortunately, as I do not have the knowledge nor means for such a thing, I cannot fully comment on the subject matter. I can only speculate, at best.

[celticromanstone]

Well, there are no children involved, as I am unable to procreate. But yes, that might be one reason.

[looksfine]

[Aaaaand...the confusion was back.]

You offer services of procreation, when you are unable to procreate yourself?

[Was that why people were unhappy with her? It certainly did not seem fair to Aya.]

[celticromanstone]

Ah, just the act of it, darling. No real procreation is involved. And to anticipate your next question, we do it because it's fun. OR should be.

[looksfine]

[Ah.]

[...she...sort of got it then. A little.]

How is it fun?

[celticromanstone]

Mutual pleasure should happen during the act. If not, well, you're doing it wrong.

[looksfine]

[Mutual Pleasure.]

I have experienced pleasure before. [Perhaps not the same kind of pleasure, but it was the best relation she could make.] Although I do not recall any one specific act leading to the sensation. I also do not recall ever having to pay for such a feeling. I simply...felt it.

[celticromanstone]

It's a certain type of pleasure darling. You can experience it alone, but there's no fun in that.

[looksfine]

[In her own way, Aya agreed. Even nodding.]

You are correct. The greatest pleasures I have felt have been the feelings induced by others.

[celticromanstone]

[ Heather is so bemused. ]

This would be more... physical pleasure.

[ How to explain orgasm? She doesn't know. ]

[looksfine]

[And it was about to get that much harder because...Aya tilted her head to the side briefly, before realization of a sort dawned on her.]

Ah, you are referring to a more tactile sensory experience.

[Suddenly, her own lack of understanding was that much clearer. Ironically enough.]

That is something I do not possess, either. I can register degrees of pressure, but my physical form was not constructed with the proper nerve endings to accurately process other sensations.

[celticromanstone]

Ah, well, then. I'm sorry I can't explain it further to you. It's a very individualized experience.

[looksfine]

I...see.

That is unfortunate.

[She would have loved to learn more about this, given it appeared to be such a widespread thing among most other living organisms.]

[celticromanstone]

It is one of life's great mysteries that shouldn't be.

But, what about my second question? Do you practice hand to hand?

[looksfine]

There are many mysterious about life itself that I have yet to unravel, many of which appear to be obvious to others besides myself.

[So what was one more mystery to her, in the grand scheme of things?]

A majority of my combat skills are based on my Green Energy, allowing for flight maneuvering, long-range projectiles, and the utilization of constructs to gain the upper hand in battle. However, I do have experience in hand-to-hand. My superiors were insistent upon my learning after I gained a body.

[celticromanstone]

Rather smart superiors, in my opinion. Would you be willing to work with me? I've not really got a set style, but it has gotten sloppy recently.

[looksfine]

They are.

[Yes, even you, Hal.]

If you believe I may be beneficial to your growth in this area, I would be happy to assist you in your work.

[celticromanstone]

That would be wonderful. The dojo in the mornings?

[looksfine]

You are referring to the one that is owned by Bakura?

[She had no objections. Merely verifying the location.]

[celticromanstone]

The white-haired sour-faced young man? Yes.

[looksfine]

I am familiar with the location.

Do you wish to train every morning, or is there a specific time frame that would best adhere to your schedule?
