Hmm. Hurricane is coming soon. I have a penthouse, but...

Do I stay up here, all by myself? Seek out shelter with a friend? Try to evacuate, maybe to Chicago? It's not too late yet.

Decisions, decisions...

It'll be over before you know it. If Irene is the sellout they said she was.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I'm not terribly worried.

But what about Chelsea?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

A shame you're busy, or I'd have sent an invite.

She's playing hide and seek.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Next time, darling. Bring up a good squall, and I'll join you for it.

Hiding? Really? And she calls herself a daughter of Poseidon?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Next time then, sugar. Had my hands full this time.

It's the wind she doesn't like. She's got some growing into that title to do. I'm a bit disappointed myself.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

It's a date.

Hmm. We'll have to teach her, then. Wind and water are power. She needs to learn to use them, not be scared by them.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Ignore the limp sea god.

I've bubbly. Soap and champagne.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

On the balcony? I've got a thing for storms.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Ok, minx? The wind is blowing hard enough to blow shit off of construction sites. I like your skin on your body.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I'm tougher than I look, babycakes.

You've never seen me in a good storm.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Yeah well I like the skin on my tender bits too so no deck, toots.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Take all the fun out of it, why don't you?

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Temper, temper, duck. What's shoved under your nails? Snake skin, maybe?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Not hardly. I came from the ocean, born of foam and blood.

Sweetheart, you don't know what I'm capable of when I've got lightning in my veins.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

And my voice resides in the wind and the wild hunt, but I don't pretend for one minute that my arrogance will hold this mortal body up against what's howling outside. You want to play in the hurricane? Be my guest.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

A few minutes is all I need. After that... well. It'l be like nothing you've had from me before.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Well damn, girl! That's all you had to say! Get your tight ass over here.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Consider me there, sweetness. Have your bubbly ready.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Speak for yourself, Norse pig.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

If you ever need a place to crash, I'd be more than happy to send someone to come get you. If there was no water this would be perfect. If I wasn't human I'd be painting the town red right now.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure this is right up your alley, but this kind of weather is my kind. Botticelli had it all wrong--a hurricane was blowing when I was born.

Still, I won't say no to seeing you again sometime, pet.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

You'll have to relay the story to me some time, I'd love to hear it.

Sounds good to me. We should set something up some day.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone. When is good for you?

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Well this storm has put a temporary halt to business, so there's likely to be a burst of activity to catch up when it ends. I should be free in a couple days if all goes well.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Keep me posted. We'll figure something out.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

Will do.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

If you do find yourself in Chicago I wouldn't mind putting you up.

You must be loving this.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

And how!

That's very generous of you, darling.

[Filter: Hades]
You know, we still haven't had a proper dinner date.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

What is family for if not for impromptu sleepovers.

[Filter: Aphrodite]
This is true. Care to rectify that oversight?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Something like that, anyway.

[Hades]
We certainly should. Of course, I fear that won't be possible until this storm blows out, but what's your schedule looking like? Depending on the damage dealt here, it might be wiser for me to come to you.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

[Aphrodite]
My current case has hit a snag so I'm likely to be free for awhile. You have a point. You certain you wouldn't be missed?

[Filter]

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

How long is a while? Once the storm clears up, I'll probably have to do some tasks to make sure everything's on schedule for the next issue and go through inventory to see if anything was damaged. But, once that's taken care of, I'm sure I could take an extended weekend to come see you.

Re: [Filter]

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

At least for a couple days until I get a solid lead again. There is no rush. Anything you'd like to do while here?

[Filter]

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Besides the romantic dinner for two? Good question. What does the Windy City have for nightlife?

Re: [Filter]

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

For a lord of darkness I really don't go out at night socially much. What kind of things do you enjoy doing? I could look into finding compatible places.

[Filter]

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Hmm. The usual things that a girl like me would dress up for. Dinner... drinks... dancing. Maybe a show. I admit, I like being spoiled just as much as I like doing the spoiling.

Re: [Filter]

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Can't wait.
