006 ┼ I'm Finding Me Out, I'm Having My Doubts, I'm Losing the Best of Me

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Who: Luci & YOU
What: You know what sucks? Everything about the last festival-- especially all the chaos and running. You know what's probably a good idea? Ignoring all of that and having a party. On a yacht.
When: May 20th
Where: The bay outside Vista City
Warnings: IT'S A CARNIVAL CRUISE...!

((Luci just got a strange pay bump and she's using it to regroup after the intense clusterfuck at the last festival-- she's still not sure exactly what happened there, but even though it's probably significant, she'd rather celebrate like one usually does after a lot of work. By renting a yacht for a night. Like people usually do.))





((It's a nice boat. Plenty of food, a couple of bartenders, fire pits, couches, swimsuits for those who need, and music of course. The party is, of course, invite only to keep the paparazzi and gatecrashers and people looking to turn this into a work-venture out, but Luci's given the bouncer clearance to let friends of guests and anybody who seems interesting in-- she knows Luci's type.))

((Try not to get too blitzed and fall overboard!))

[ Kissing Luci is everything she thought it might be. She leans back against the railing and lets the stolen cigarette fall from her fingers to be blown into the waters below. A nicotine fix has nothing on this.

She gives as good as she gets from the kiss. One hand resting on the small of Luci's back to pull their bodies closer even as she parts her lips to invite her in.

In this moment she feels wonderfully, beautifully alive. The ash isn't built up inside her now that she has this. ]

[Luci has kissed a lot of people and more, but this is something else. This is beyond what anyone has managed to make her feel, igniting something inside her that pushes against the very fabric of her being. Like trying to stretch out of a skin that had been wrapped around her so tightly she couldn't see her own face anymore.]

[She wants more of it, and she wants to know why, but for now she'll settle for holding and pleasing the beautiful person who seems to have just dropped out of the sky. Luci draws back to breathe and drags her lips and teeth gently over Persephone's cheek and neck. The longer she breathes in this woman, the stronger she feels. The more color comes back into a flat and gray world.]

I've been singing for you for months. [It could sound creepy, yes, but it's a rare moment of candor for her. She has been singing for this person who makes her feel bigger than she is.] Would you believe me if I said I've been waiting for you?

[ This is the stuff of her fantasies. Persephone wants this, wants everything that comes with it in the greediest possible sense. It's different from any other time and she doesn't ever want it to end. But at the same time she wants Luci to know her.

Luci knew her when she was just Laura Wilson, just like Cassandra. She needs that knowing. Which means she needs to bring Luci's memories back.

Persephone is breathless as she replies: ] Only if you believe me when I say I came here just for you. [ The rest of the world can rot as long as she brings Luci home. ]
