Losing My Mind
Julian had been gone a while. Minnie was going crazy without him. She'd done without much longer before, but every time back with him just made it more tantalizing when they were separated again. So she threw on her knee-high stiletto leather boots and some black-leather-and-leather clothes which....used less leather than the boots and went down to where DJ Whedon was spinning.

It didn't take all that long for parts of the club crowd to part for the little whirling dervish who moved like she either wanted to kill something or fuck something. Which....was pretty much how she was feeling, except it would be completely inappropriate to kill someone. Minnie had energy to burn and generally believed that black lace required a little sweat plastering it to fit right.

While she dances closer to the DJ's box-thing, she doesn't try to go right up and say hi. She needs him to see her. Notice her. Want her, in all her burning frustration.

	"Thanks. I'd like that." She stares at him tiredly for a while. "It's not like most shapeshifter's signatures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sets the tub to draining and towels off, then lets her dry off some, before picking her up and carrying her bedward. "So... different, how, out of curiosity?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie smiles tiredly when up in his arms. "Like sepia when one expected orange. Navy instead of just blue. That... probably doesn't make a lot of sense to most people. Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He settles into bed after laying her in it, then tucks the blankets over both of them, nestling her up against him. "No apologies necessary, just curious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-20 02:22 am UTC (link)
	She just cuddles. "Thanks, DJ." And she's out like a light. The next morning, though, she'll be up substantially before noon, getting the omelets fixed and... well the floor is spotless. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	On the sleeping, he's a little ways behind her, but not that far. He sleeps in longer than she does, though, awakened by the smell of breakfast. "Wow...you've been busy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-20 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Minnie smiles. "Just a little. You have a very comfy bed, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely." She fixes him a plate of omelet, then one for herself, and eating, it happens. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He digs in hungrily. Long night at work, then the night... without a lot of food. Well worth it, but it sure makes breakfast that much better. "So, anywhere you need to be, up to your performance, and along to work with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-20 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Not really anywhere else to go, no." But that doesn't get to her like it did before. Minnie feels fairly secure now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want a temporary job? Wouldn't pay much, but it'd give you something to do, and just so you don't feel like its charity - it'd put some of your skills to use, and you might be able to more than pay for the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie cants her head slightly. "What is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-20 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"Band manager. Call around, try and get gigs, negotiate contracts, make sure everyone pays what they should, schedule interviews and appearances, hawk CDs... I do some of it, Blue does some of it... but its not really either of our specialties, and working two part time jobs plus gigs is a handful for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-20 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Minnie thinks, then smiles. "Yes. I could definitely give that a try. You and Pauline shouldn't have to worry about that stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And the people we have to meet with definitely do better with a pretty face - who can still draw the line and not get pushed around. I have a feeling you'd be a natural. And if you do a good job, more gigs, better quality ones, public events, CD sales... could all easily rise enough to justify the hiring. We're starting to get better known because of the show... but don't really have the management in place to take advantage of it."

	"Oh, yes. I think I can handle that." Minnie's smile goes practically razorblade. "Any preferences on a particular trick for making sure the venues read their contractual obligations on equipment safety, or shall I just pick one myself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Go nuts, I'm just going to trust you know your contract law and let you go. Pauline has her favorite little tricks for making sure the stage crew is doing things her way, when we play strange places. I've occasionally forgone some of my cut to buy the crew a round after tear-down or the like for crews who really kick ass. Always nice to have people who want to work with us again. Sounds like I'm picking the right person for this though."

	She chuckles. "Quite possibly. Thanks, DJ. It's.. a really nice idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
