[This was an inevitable happening.]

Like we can't just grow children in petri dishes... So you put aside some eggs for the unfortunate day you decide you want an organism of your own, and sterilize yourself in the meantime. Problem solved.

[Don't even need men involved, not that Carla would advocate a purely lesbian society.]

Although I wouldn't trust anyone here to be clean on a first glance, none of you keep your papers on you which should be routine, so the condoms are probably a good idea too. At least until you've taken a family trip to the doctor's office. It might save time to do it as a group, rather than waiting on everyone individually... Maybe that takes some of the spontaneity out of it, but you'll have more options in a group. Exponentially more. It probably makes up for it, when you get down to it.

[Thus concludes sex-ed with Carla... Get sterilized, use condoms, get tested, have orgies.]

Comments

I'm not sure I'd trust someone's papers, personally.

[dignity_misery]

It's cheaper to just get the test than forge the document.

[She knows, she'd made a few in her day.]

[cold_dry_pieces]

[And here he's just kind of teasing.]

Wouldn't that depend on the quality of your unsavory connections?

[dignity_misery]

It would, but I could tell a fake when I saw one.

[cold_dry_pieces]

That's a handy skill.

[dignity_misery]

A hobby of mine.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Do you have many hobbies?

[dignity_misery]

Everybody needs a few.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Well said.

[dignity_misery]

Who are you, if you don't do anything for yourself?

[cold_dry_pieces]

I don't think there's anyone who doesn't.

[dignity_misery]

I don't know about that. Domination is an interesting process.

[cold_dry_pieces]

That does fall a bit outside the realm of normal behavior, though.

[dignity_misery]

A daily occurrence. It's just a matter of scale.

[No, she does not have power issues at all, why do you ask.....]

[cold_dry_pieces]

[Well, who doesn't?]

The question of scale is important, for context.

[dignity_misery]

[She actually would prefer not to make any further comment on that, eyes drifting off, a hand scratching at the back of her shoulder thoughtlessly.]

You don't collect stamps do you?

[cold_dry_pieces]

I don't. The idea of collecting things-- keeping and hoarding them-- doesn't really appeal to me.

[He's had his collections, certainly, but never kept trophies for very long.]

That isn't one of your hobbies, is it? You don't seem the type.

[dignity_misery]

Material things have never mattered to me very much.

[She would be a very different woman if they had, never would have left that rich family of hers, never would have gone looking for something more valuable.]

[cold_dry_pieces]

So what does?

[dignity_misery]

...Experiences. Sensations. Challenges.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Artists and liars, you said last time.

What kind of challenges?

[dignity_misery]

Challenges to my mind, to my skills. I don't really know what those are anymore though.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You don't know what your skills are, or you don't know how to challenge them?

[dignity_misery]

One leads to the other.
