( i just wanna be someone )

MICK: let your freak flag fly. im sure talia would love to see it

UNSENT: oh i guess i don't really-

MICK: sorry i didnt know it bugged you so much. i can stop if you don't like it

MICK: psh you're gonna make me get all blushy

REAGAN: you know it babes

REAGAN: nah, it's not like that. i'd rather you talk openly with me. i'm just saying, i think you're awesome and i wish you'd see yourself the same way. that's all

NATALIA: And you'll get to see firsthand just /how/ mean in just a bit, hm?

NATALIA: Exactly. Own it, darling.

NATALIA: I'm not naturally intelligent. I have the capacity for it, is all. In high school, I struggled immensely with certain subjects. D level struggle.

REAGAN: can't wait, miss :3

REAGAN: you must be big on pet names

MICK: lmfao duh, it's not like i have dibs. you can scene with whoever you want. and if you're tired, i can find someone else easy peasy

MICK: i- is that a drummer guy? but literally it's not a big deal. i know i don't got a lot to offer so saying i'm like winning the lottery is a stretch you know?

REAGAN: yeah, i know, i just wanted to make sure

REAGAN: one of the best drummer guys. it's kind of a big deal when you're calling yourself trash. like, i get you have low self-esteem and stuff, so maybe you look at yourself like that. i'm sorry if you do and i wish you didn't

UNSENT: but there's no mistaking how i feel--

NATALIA: I'm always hot.

NATALIA: Most people don't, you're right. But it doesn't change the fact that some of the most musically inclined minds of our time are some of the most gifted and beautiful ones to exist.

NATALIA: Oh, no. I worry that I'll fail, but I study excessively until I know I'll make an A. If I don't, then I work harder next time.

NATALIA: Of course. :)

REAGAN: you're not wrong but you're SUPER hot when you're mean

REAGAN: you know what, you're right. im gifted and hot. i don't need to be anything else

MICK: oh huh. the more you know. that's cool though.

MICK: lol you don't gotta lie to me. it's like maybe winning a $5 gift card at best

REAGAN: it's okay, right? i don't want you to assume i can't still scene with you for our biweekly

UNSENT: natalia? like my talia?

MICK: oh shit that's cool. i didn't even know she scened with switches. have fun.

MICK: pft ask and you'll receive

MICK: lol you make it sound like you won the lottery when you're really just picking through the trash

REAGAN: apparently she likes scening with switches or something? she said usually she goes to a club or some shit but the public stuff isn't her thing. i was surprised too. shocked, tbh

NATALIA: Oh, well. They're not worth your time, regardless. Most of them are complete cunts.

NATALIA: I don't think anyone is /just/ anything. And from what I've seen, you possess musical intelligence, which is far more than I can say for most people. Hell, I'm /very/ dumb when it comes to maths and sciences.

NATALIA: I know, let me compliment you.

REAGAN: its hot when you're mean to other ppl

REAGAN: too bad most ppl don't value music smarts. it's all about the textbooks and how fast i can add a meaningless miss or sir to my sentences. i don't think you and dumb belong in the same sentence. are you one of those ppl who go 'oH nO iM GOnnA FaIL!!!!! D:' but actually end up getting like, a C, on the test?

MICK: oh worm? do i know the lucky person?

MICK: it is a damn shame, i was hoping to get up close and personal with them too. next time :p

MICK: duh ofc we can. i'm free after 1:30, so you know, right when you're getting up

REAGAN: yeah actually! its natalia

REAGAN: im gonna hold you do that, smooth talker~

MICK: hey bitch what are you doing

MICK: i have to draw someone's hands for this assignment due tomorrow and guess you're the lucky victim

REAGAN: i'm gonna be heading out soon for a scene

REAGAN: damn tho, thats some tough luck. you missing out on observing my hands for a while :p

NATALIA: What do you mean?

NATALIA: I'll be an hour. Wear something loose, if you can.

NATALIA: You're impressive without it, dear.

REAGAN: im just not used to it, ig. like in passing its chill but usually ppl who talk like you don't give me the time of day. all prim and proper and shit.

REAGAN: can't wait :)

REAGAN: says u. most ppl think i'm just a dumb pothead. and ngl, i am a dumb pothead but im a lot more than /just/ that.

[ ... ]

NATALIA: Of course. :)

NATALIA: Okay, good, thank you. Perfect.

NATALIA: Tonight, then. I'll come pick you up and find somewhere private?

NATALIA: I'm just surprised is all. You're cultured. :b

REAGAN: you're so polite. its weird

REAGAN: sounds dope to me

NATALIA: No, it'd still bother me, just not as much because I feel like it'd be easier to work through it. But.. yeah, she's-- nothing short of amazing. Always has been.

NATALIA: I am. I will say that if orgasms are something you need during a scene, I'm more than okay with that, I just prefer not to be touched sexually until I'm ready.

NATALIA: Maybe tonight or tomorrow, if you're okay with that?

NATALIA: ..you know Gone With The Wind?

REAGAN: ohh! well..,good to know.

REAGAN: i like orgasms but i'm okay without them. thats not where the scene high comes from anyway.

REAGAN: tonight, tomorrow, i'm yours. just lmk

NATALIA: Why I said one of. :) But yeah, I feel like it might be a bit awkward with her. I don't want to ruin our friendship right when we're getting it back, you know? I /need/ her in my life. With you, if things get odd, it's not.. irreparable.

NATALIA: Yeah, or the sexual scene type. And your limits are similar to mine, it seems, so that's okay.

NATALIA: I was thinking about maybe just a simple sensual scene, shibari and some impact play?

NATALIA: I like being called Miss, as well. Or ma'am.

REAGAN: for a second, i thought you were gonna say if things get odd with me, its no skin off your back. that makes sense tho. i'm glad you're trying to make stuff right with her. she deserves it.

REAGAN: that's fine by me. are you a virgin?

NATALIA: Oh, okay. Still.

NATALIA: You're just one of the only switches I know and I prefer.. that. Usually I go to a club, but that's sort of dangerous and public.

NATALIA: But, uhm. When is good for you? We should probably discuss limits and titles and the like, too.

REAGAN: well you know mick

REAGAN: but yeah, i get it. you're not the dangerous and public type.

NATALIA: ..yes?

[...]

NATALIA: Is that bad, should I not do that?

NATALIA: I'm sorry.

REAGAN: no, no i'm just surprised is all

NATALIA: No, not at all. Just shocking.

NATALIA: I need to make my, uh, biweekly.

NATALIA: I was wondering if you might be interested?

REAGAN: hol up

REAGAN: you wanna scene?

NATALIA: Oh. That is.. oh.

NATALIA: I was wondering if you scene at all.

REAGAN: problem?
