dom/sub finder overflow - Molly

(from here)

I suppose it's not as important for you to think about as much.

But with that kind of outlook, I doubt you'll have much trouble finding a willing partner.

[Peter certainly likes the sound of that.]

[mollymocks]

perhaps.

what would you look for? hypothetically.

[rosebyanyother]

I think it's a little bit beyond the range of hypothetical now.

Someone interesting. Or failing that, someone who has no particular interest in my goings on or having much control over my day-to-day life. Or seeing me very often. Preferably BOTH interesting and not interested in my affairs, though.

[mollymocks]

seems undemanding. though admittedly i don't know what your version of interesting is.

[ It's a video of Murphy jerking himself off and then making a nice mess all over himself. The sound is on so you'll hear all the soft moans, grunts and the slapping sound that accompanies every hand job. Enjoy. ]

post-dated to 1/21; hacked

[ecchymosis]

ability: sensory perception manipulation.
current limits: unknown.
other capabilities: tech training, surveillance.
current partner: present locally.

[ that's the message, no context provided. ]

[rosebyanyother]

[Peter watches through clear to the end. It is...minorly titillating, even if he hasn't thought of Murphy in quite that way. (Probably because up until very recently, they've been nothing but text to one another.)

When he's done with the video, he sends a response back:]

What a gift. Though I'm not sure what I've done to deserve it. Are you repaying me for the fashion tips?

[rosebyanyother]

Partner for what, exactly?

[He doesn't recognize this username, he knows this wasn't meant for him at all and yet he's still asking. It's a curious message, he's curious!]

1/2

[mofi]

a gift?
what r u talking about?

[ Murphy really has no clue. ]

2/2

[mofi]

[ And then Murphy sees what his phone sent him. ]

i cant believe this is the one thing that is being sent from my phone
i didnt send it
it came from my phone but someone else is sending it.

[ecchymosis]

[ mark down one more for the running tally of people june's info has been sent to. ]

work partner. we've only slept together once, for quota purposes.
it does bear questioning, doesn't it?

[rosebyanyother]

What kind of work?
It was a little vague, yes.

[The stranger has answered one question, maybe they'll answer another.]

[rosebyanyother]

[It's not a disappointment because Peter was fairly certain already that he wasn't the intended recipient for that. But he's kind of a troll, so...:]

Hm. Disappointing.
But in that case, my condolences. I'll delete, if you'd like.

[mofi]

wait.
why r u disappointed?

[rosebyanyother]

It was interesting. But less so if it wasn't intended for me.

[This is probably one of the more awkward messages to send out. Jon doesn't actually know Peter that well, but... well. He's sort of liked what he has learned about him. Apart from the being a manipulative scoundrel. But properly forewarned, Jon's confident he can deal with that. Guard against it.]

I don't know what your safety situation is, but if you need any shelter in the Up, I can offer my office building.
We're hiding here until all of this fighting is over.
We have a decent stock of food.
Martin's good about keeping a store of it, apparently.

[rosebyanyother]

[Oh. This is certainly interesting.]

That's very kind of you.
The apartments in the Up do seem to be more or less secure at the moment but I'll remember that if circumstances change.

[Or, you know, if he's caught in a bad situation while he's out and needs refuge. But he's not going to say that. Wouldn't want Jon to think he might bring danger to his door.]

Who is Martin?

[compellingstatement]

It's practical.

[Don't call him kind! Or sweet! All of these people.]

He's the administrator for the building.
We worked together back home.
He used to be my assistant.
Now he's working for the man running the Magnus Institute.

[The last message comes several seconds after the others.]

We're also dating.

[rosebyanyother]

As if something can't be practical and kind at the same time

[He ends up grinning when the second message comes through.]

Oh in that case I may have to come by. If only to meet him.

[compellingstatement]

[These people. Rafa was just as bad. Maybe he shouldn't mention the dating thing. But then that might upset Martin... who just tells everyone anyway. Ugh...]

If that's the only reason you're stopping by, then find somewhere else to stay.
This is a place for shelter, not gossip.

[rosebyanyother]

[And now he is definitely laughing. Thanks for the levity in a dark time, Jon.]

I'm only joking of course.
But I am VERY curious now.
He must be very interesting.

[compellingstatement]

More so than appearances would indicate.

[Which is to say Martin Blackwood is exceptionally unassuming.]

He's the sort of person who buys mugs with little kittens on them.
While also orchestrating the imprisonment of the semi-omniscient head of an academic institution.

[He's maybe just a little proud of Martin.]

[rosebyanyother]

Versatile.
I'm impressed.

[compellingstatement]

[As you should be!]

More impressive than I gave him credit for to start.
Of course he was almost completely incompetent when he was first hired.
He lied on his CV and didn't know how to do anything.
He's a very quick learner, though.
And reasonably good at lying, I suppose.

[... coming to think on that.]

[rosebyanyother]

Really, this only makes me want to meet him even more.

[One accomplished, resourceful liar to another.]

Though before you start getting huffy, I still won't drop by in the middle of a war.
