The Fourth Sin - Thursday Night

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky gleefully listened to the message on her voicemail again, and decided there was no way she could be misunderstanding it.

Ha. Take that, random radio girl.

She took her spot behind the desk, kicking her feet up on it with a smug smile on her face.

Autolycus swaggered into the Sin, brushing melting snowflakes off his shoulders. "Good evening, my dear Becky. How are you tonight?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"I am fabulous," Becky gushed. "How're you, honey?"

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

"Never been better," Autolycus drew his face into a mock-frown "Except, well, I've been lonely."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Oh no!" Becky said, wide-eyed and pouting. "We can't have that. Well, you're first of the evening. All the girls are free. Any preference?"

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

"Much as I appreciate Dallas's skills, I think I need company more than anything," Autolycus gave Becky puppy-dog eye. "More company than one person alone can provide, if you get my drift."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Twins?" Becky suggested.

Jarod wandered down into the lobby, bleary-eyed from an afternoon nap. "Hey, Becky. Anything going on?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"My Mountie isn't gay!" she said happily. She shot Jarod a cautious look - not exactly concerned, really. But almost there. "And how're you?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Er, congratulations?" Jarod said, not quite sure of the proper response in this situation. He scrubbed a hand over his face. "Okay. I didn't sleep well last night."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Mmm," Becky nodded. "Been there."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

He smiled slightly. "Probably not for the same reason, though."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"No, not unless you saw a few dozen men gutted and were expected not to flinch," Becky said casually.

Being a man of his word, Fraser does, indeed, stop by the Fourth Sin after getting off work.

It's really cold outside so he's rubbing his arms when he steps in the door.

"Good evening," he says, smiling.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Hi, you!" Becky grinned, actually sitting up and moving her feet off the desk. "How are you tonight?"

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Cold," Fraser replies, smiling. "It's just started snowing extremely hard. Roads and sidewalks might soon become unmanageable. Do you have enough supplies in case you were to get snowed in?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Becky said. "We'll be just fine. But do you have anywhere to stay?"

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"I believe I'll be able to make it back to the dormitories. It's not a long walk," he says, eyeing the snow. He takes off his hat and sets it on the counter. "You got my phone message, I take it?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"I did indeed," Becky said, grinning. "Why would anyone make a mistake like that?"

[deadly_little]

Miho came into the lobby and cast a hopeful look at the phone.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Your principal lover has not called, no," Becky said.

[deadly_little]

Miho gave Becky a Look. She wasn't concerned about the principal. Had her pirate called?

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"No one's called for you at all, actually. That'd be a fun conversation though, huh? It'd pretty much go, 'Hi, Miho.' And then silence."

From outside the Sin, Miho--and anyone else who was there-- could probably hear a familiar voice.

"Come on, ye damn zombies!"

The zombies, borrowed from Caritas for this special occasion, looked distinctly sulky to be out in the snow.

They began to play.

Barbossa began singing. Rio, by Duran Duran.

Slightly altered.

Movin' on the floor thar babe ye be a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I be supposin' it be very nice
With a step to yer left and a flick to the right ye catch that mirror way out west
Ye know ye be something special and ye look like yer the best

He grinned at the door to the brothel.

Her name be Miho 'n she be dancin' on the sand
Just like that river twistin' through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows ye all she can
Oh Miho, Miho dance across the Miho Grande...

He coughed. "That not be fittin' the scheme, but ye be understandin' what I be sayin', aye?"

Behind him a zombie snickered.

[deadly_little]

A tiny grey ninja came running out the front door of the Sin, an expression somewhere between 'WTF?' and joy on her face.

[deadly_little]

Miho allowed herself to think fond thoughts of setting Becky on fire.
