13 - [video/action] - curse: Groovy New Feelings

[firstaid]

[Estelle is well aware of the birds and the bees, how babies are made and everything. She's actually well educated in such things despite her innocent nature, though knowing is half the battle, right? It means she won't get curious for herself and accidentally scar herself in some way.

Though the City has decided that she's ignorant of such matters. To the point that it decided to change the very book she was reading into a rather... educational scene. Sure, she was reading a romance novel, but she always makes sure to choose rather clean ones. She's been warned of the City and what books it may throw at her...

...and now reading, she had a bit of difficulty deciphering what this current passage was, so she read it outloud.]

"He came back to my mouth and I kissed him, tasting myself which he tasted too."

What does that mean?

[She reads on…]

"I kissed him back and kissed his bare chest all the way down to the top of his… jeans…"

[Okay, this isn't what she was reading, or what she thought it was about, but she's rather sure she didn’t pick up that kind of book.]

"He moaned, stared at me wanting to take his co—"

[And with her face now completely flush, she slams her book shut and throws it across the table. Then looking towards her device, notices it's on and meekly moves in to shut it off. Oh, why of all things was that just broadcast. Curse her luck…

Of course it'd be a curse…]

[At first she thinks that term is unrelated to the topic on hand, but then realizes that it's more than likely slang. Except her curiosity isn't even going to allow her to question him on what exactly that means...

...part of her doesn't even want to know!]

...huh?

[ironmanic]

You know- the anaconda. The bacon rod. A beanstalk. Free Willy. And the ambitious ones go with Excalibur.

[firstaid]

...huh?

[She, doesn't get what all those metaphors have in common...

What is 'Free Willy'?]

[ironmanic]

Never mind. Seriously-- never mind.

Feeling enlightened thus far, madam?

[firstaid]

I believe I could have gone without knowing any of this...

[As informative as it may be, and that much wiser she is in this topic... just... no.]

[ironmanic]

Better now than later- think of it as a kindness. The City's doing you a favor. Most kids have to go to school for sex ed. And it was terrible, by the way.

[firstaid]

They have school... for this sort of topic? [She pauses, thinking over her own tutoring.] I suppose I was taught the basics of human reproduction as well as the means to reproduce... [She looks away from the device, blushing as she said that.]

[ironmanic]

Boring. Utterly, completely boring. You're missing out - terribly, I might add.

[firstaid]

Well, if they're boring, then how am I missing out?

[And if they're regarding the topic of sex-ed, she's pretty sure she's not...]

[ironmanic]

I meant you only know the boring bits. Clearly that guard didn't, though.

[Though Tony scrunches his face at the thought. He prefers his women raunchy and very sexual, so the thought of anyone taking advantage of someone like Estelle is a little disconcerting.]

[firstaid]

I'm still afraid I don't quite follow, but then again, I'm not sure if I want to...

[This topic is a rather awkward one, and as much as she's grateful that Tony is willing to define some things for her, maybe this was something that was best left alone, at least for now.]
