The Fourth Sin, Saturday Night

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod had gotten a phone call from one of the girls, saying that Becky wasn't there to man the desk. So here he was, covering for her and completely avoiding the kitchen. Besides, people were busy in there anyway. He'd put the plastic sheeting down earlier.

He made a note to himself about reinforcing the door locks and went back to looking for giant pixie stix and maybe a good present for Jaye. He wondered how she felt about yo-yos and silly putty.

Number Six walked in, went around the desk and simply regarded Jarod, saying nothing.

Jarod kept surfing the internet, bookmarking the pages with necklaces he thought Jaye might like.

Six put a hand on Jarod's cheek. "Are you alive?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"I am." He turned to face her. "Who are you, and do you always start conversations this way?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Ssssh," Six said. She moved her head to his and kissed him deeply.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod kissed her back before he realized what he was doing and pulled away. "Who are you?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Six glanced at the piece of paper on the desk "Jarod's To Do List." "God has a plan for you, Jarod."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

God wouldn't be the first. "Okay?"

Lana wandered in and leaned seductively on the desk, making sure her... attributes were prominently displayed. "Jarod," she purred. "How are you?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod blinked. And tried really, really hard not to stare. "Lana. I'm doing well, thank you." He glanced down, and the tips of his ears reddened. "You look...different."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him, enjoying the reaction she seemed to be having on him. "Different in a good way, I hope," she said lightly, shifting again to bring attention to her chest. "You look pretty wonderful yourself."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," Jarod said, not sure how he felt about her transformation. "You don't look like yourself."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Funny," Lana said, hitching herself up onto the desk. "I feel more like myself than I ever have. More... free."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was beginning to think that maybe she should start charging, not that he said that. "Free, huh? I didn't know you felt restricted."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana flipped her hair back. "Always being the good girl, always trying to do the right thing, not acting on my feelings... I've been all bottled up. Today... not so much."

She slid off the desk and walked around it, reaching out to him with the intention of stroking his cheek. "And it occurred to me that I never thanked you properly for saving my life."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you did!" Jarod said quickly. "I was very properly thanked."

Paul Revere rode into the 4th Sin, shouting at the top of his lungs. "LANA THINKS CRICHTON IS HOT. HE TURNED HER DOWN AND MADE HER FROWN, BUT LANA THINKS CRICHTON IS HOT."

He then went to investigate other parts of the Sin for more news.

Winnie came back to the place where she had woken up that morning once it was dark, with her hands full of a bouquet of wildflowers. "Good evening," she said to the young man. "Do you think there might be a vase for these?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Out of all the weirdness of this evening, the sight of Becky in a dress and carrying wildflowers was the one that surprised Jarod most. "Um...sure." He stared, then got up and remembered they were in the kitchen. "It'll be a little while, though."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Certainly," she replied politely. "This is a very lovely hotel, by the way."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"It's not a hotel," Jarod said, then noticed something else. "Are you feeling okay, Becky? You're in color."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"My name is Winifred Foster," she corrected. "But you may call me Winnie if you'd like."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

And his night just kept getting stranger. "Winnie, then." He repeated.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

She waited for a beat, and then replied, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr....."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Jarod," he offered his hand automatically, then wondered what he was doing.
