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.

	"Finalizing how much we'll be paid for the gig, making sure equipment is up to standards, making sure safety regs are in place, he wants to make sure we're insured and all enough that any trouble from protestors would be covered... fun stuff.

	"Personally, I hate these meetings. Pauline is better at them. I have the legalese to do it, so usually tagged along, but I'm usually a lot better at talking with the crews and all, and just being the heavy for this stuff. But, honestly, I'm really trying to let Pauline focus on the new relationship stuff and all, and have to deal with as little as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The joys of being an up and comer. Saving money and building up means doing a lot of things yourself.

	He winks. "I prefer to do the tying up. But seriously... yeah. Eventually, it'd be nice to have someone to handle all of this, make sure its safe, make sure the crew will read Pauline's instructions to the letter, and so on. But that takes someone the clubs will take seriously if they want to book the band, and we're on limited resources." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie nods. "We'll see." And once they get there, Minnie will indeed stand by, polite and nicely dressed, and watch and listen intently to the whole situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Routine, boring, detailed, both people trying to make sure they get the best deal out of the situation, and more or less ending up with an agreement neither is totally happy with, but gets what's absolutely needed - which is usually a sign of a reasonable compromise in a situation where everyone knows there'll be protestors, alcohol and loud music.

By the time he's done, DJ is very obviously ready to get out of there.

	And Minnie has carefull committed everything to memory and is not happy to see DJ stressed. She'll walk close to him as they head out. "Yeah. You shouldn't do that anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can get the next one," Minnie says with certainty, her hand reaching up his back to get at the tendons in the back of his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He leans forward, relaxing a bit at her touch. "If you're sure? I can get you the list of the things we need to make absolutely sure we get, and spend the next week going over the legalese and such... the stuff they'll want to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. We can talk supplementary information later," she says, her hands kneading in thoroughly. "And if you want to be certain before I do one of these, you can quiz me thoroughly. You know, if I give the right answers, I get a spanking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Indeed, he has to get to work. "More than welcome. To my benefit, of course. Anyway, you ready to go get changed for the night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-22 06:47 am UTC (link)
	"Probably for the best." And off they go. And she'll change into in outfit the same color as her dress, with substantially less fabric, but still still meeting certain standards of decency. Certain very special standards, as it manages to do more with the imminence of revelation than many would do by just revealing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
