The Fourth Sin - Thursday Night

Becky sat in her chair behind the desk sideways, legs draped over one arm.

She was scrutinizing a small booklet.

It could be Cosmo. It could be a highly complicated sudoku puzzle. Only Becky could really know for sure.

GOB walked into the Sin fearing for his life. Since he was going to New York for a couple days, he felt this would be a good chance to figure certain things out, die, or at least do some business. He really felt that the third one would be the most beneficial to him over the long run.

"Err, hi, Becky," he said, walking up to the desk.

Becky glanced up before returning her gaze to the page.

"Hi."

Still alive, unsnarked at, and vaguely disappointed by her greeting, GOB tried to make some small talk. "So. How've you been? Haven't seen you since... um. In a while."

"Since last Friday at Caritas with Angelu - Angel," Becky supplied, not looking up. "I'm fine."

"You missed a hell of show on Friday," GOB said, attempted to switch the subject ever so slightly. He had completely forgotten the fact that Angel was in the show, too.

"I saw part of it," Becky replied. "Was in the back. It was good. The lighting did wonders for Angel's complexion."

GOB may have muttered something along the lines of, "There's a reason he was stuffed in the box."

He then very clearly said, "Okay, enough small-talk, I guess. What can you do for me in terms of business?"

Becky wordlessly shoved the ledger across the desk at him.

"The ones with checks next to their names aren't available. I recommend staying away from Goldie. She's in a mood."

"Yeah, she's not the only one," GOB muttered.

"I'll go with Dally, okay?"

Becky didn't reply except to flip out her switchblade and look up long enough to aim inches to the left of his head.

The blade hit the wall and stuck straight out, shaking from the force of her throw.

GOB stood perfectly still for a full minute.

Then he said, very slowly, "How about Wendy?"

"She's busy. Read the fucking ledger," Becky sniffed, crossing her legs daintily.

She reached into one high-heeled boot and pulled out a small dagger, hardly giving a second glance at her target befor flinging it to the right of GOB's head.

It hit the wall with the same force and accuracy of its predecessor.

Another minute later and GOB still wasn't moving. He did manage to say, "Maybe tonight isn't the best night to do business."

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Go on to see Dally if you want," Becky shrugged.

[identity profile] bluth-illusions.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Fine," GOB said. She hadn't killed him thus far, she probably wasn't going to at this point. Or, if she did, it's not like he hadn't earned it.

"By the way," GOB said as he started to walk towards the rooms. "I'm going to New York for the weekend with the other people from Caritas. I'm sure I'll see you sometime after I get back."

"Uh huh," Becky replied, sounding bored. "Have a grand old time."

Miho comes inside, barefoot and carrying her skates over her shoulder, as marking up the floors of the brothel would be irresponsible of her. She sidles up to Becky and, more carefully than she'd been with any of the people in the park, asks, "How would I get a...water gun?"

Becky looked at her curiously, carefully keeping her gaze away from the knives in the wall.

"You could buy it at a toy store, I suppose."

Miho ignores the knives in the wall, which is only fair, considering the wall across from her bed resembles a pincushion with bits of a photo of Ava visible through it.

"They have stores for toys?"

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Where you can buy toys, yes," Becky said. "Why?"

"There was a boy. He had a water gun. And you know what Dwight said."

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Dwight said something about water guns?"

[personal profile] deadly_little 2006-01-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Miho rolls her eyes at Becky. "He said not to kill people here. Unless we had to." She thinks this may be approaching the mark for longest conversation they've ever had.

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"So you want to retaliate with a water gun of your own? Why not just get some balloons and fill them with water?" Becky suggested.

[personal profile] deadly_little 2006-01-13 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Miho tilts her head, considering this option. "Balloons? With water?" Miho didn't exactly have a normal childhood.

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. And you throw them, they pop, and the target is all wet," Becky explained slowly.
deadly_little: (Default)

[personal profile] deadly_little 2006-01-13 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
This sounds like a concept she could get behind. "Balloons with water. That might work..."

[identity profile] lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com 2006-01-13 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, it's effective. And with your aim, it'd be perfect," Becky said lazily.

Miho nods thoughtfully and retreats to the kitchen. So much talking. She needs tea. And a doughnut.
