[/color][/font] ------------------------------ "Give me a black night." Kian sighed and ran a hand through her bangs. "Give me the blackest of nights and watch me walk through as though it were light as day." Why'd it have to be now that she got hit by writers block? This one was going well too, much better than her last attempt had been going. Usually saying a line or two out loud helped something come to mind but no, not tonight. Tonight her creativity was going to come to a dead halt and stay there stuck in the mud. Clenching her jaw in annoyance Kian threw her head back against the wall and she found it a little on the hard side."Ouch! Damn it!" Tonight really wasn't her night.
She stretched her legs out into the corridor and leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. Rubbing her cheeks and forehead she grumbled in annoyance and pain. "Gah, why do things have to be so uncooperative?" First she couldn't seem to get any work for the day. Usually there was some sort of job that no one was assigned to that needed to be done but it seemed everything was covered. Kian had returned to her room and run through it for her newest writings and figured she'd see if she could work on one a little. The silence and solitary room had quickly left her instead out in the corridors with hopes of at least seeing people rather than being lonesome. Though it hadn't really been lonesome, she was never really lonesome as Nikka was always around and sticking close but the Gardevoir had decided on a nap shortly after returning to the room, and there she still lay now. She slept like that from time to time, for long hours, Kian was certain it had to do with her being a psychic pokemon, it must've tired her out after a little while. But while the pokemon slept it got a bit too quiet and a little too lonely for her. She'd accomplished what she wanted, getting a hello or two as people walked by, a wave and maybe a little chat. It was better than staying cooped up in her room but it would have been better if someone stuck around longer.
"Well, looks like I won't be getting anywhere anytime soon again." Sighing and shaking her head Kian, gently this time, leaned back against the wall. Wincing a little at the pain as her head touched the wall she let her hands fall to her lap atop the laptop she had there. Her's was a little outdated, not so much as to be unusable nowadays but it wasn't the newest. She didn't mind it though, the only thing she used it for was the writing program, she would love to one day be a successful writer but until she could properly finish a story that wasn't going to happen, she needed to be satisfied with it before she'd let others read it. Looking down at the screen she frowned.

have you heard of the big bad wolf? that lives to steal and eats for pleasure [atrb=width,450][atrb=border,3,true][atrb=rules,none,true][atrb=bordercolor,000000,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,10,true][atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/2ppa59f.jpg,true]
“If things aren‘t working out then I‘d suggest you take a break.”
He had heard her voice from the vicinity of several feet, responding to her spacious comments as he approached her. Now he could finally take a break from clearing all of the job posting on the public BBS. Being left with nothing to do today, after stealing away and finishing the job that Kian was used to, Spiral would find his solace with wandering the station and hitting it up with any woman who crossed his path. Luckily for him Kian had neatly presented herself for his sampling by placing herself out in the open of the corridors and saving him the trouble of passing through the female dormitories. As was custom to any professional womanizer Spiral would have to verify his prey was good enough to satisfy his rather lax pallet.
A quick glance over was all it took, the action obscurely hid behind a blink as the predator approved. Little did he know that coaxing the minx would probably result in some feisty resistance and perhaps brawl should he prod too hard. None the wise Spiral would adjust his movement as needed be. The artisan knew his work well, slaving away his life to perfect his craft. Thank Damian that he wasn’t popular enough to have his rather promiscuous behavior spread around through word of mouth, his cousin did a good job of soaking up all the chitter chatter. Last thing he needed was for Kian to be aware of who and what she was dealing with.
Rather than take a seat next to her and her lofty laptop he kept himself standing over her, peering down from above. “So I’m not entirely sure… but from the description I was given I take it you’re the woman who takes any job? I can’t promise anything but it may be just the umpth you need to help you out with whatever you’re doing~”

[/color][/font] ------------------------------ Would seem she'd be getting some company after all, though she didn't recognize the voice any so it certainly wasn't one of her usual employers or any of the other workers she usually encountered during her daily jobs."Take a break? That won't be changing this issue much, never does."She said, half to herself and half to her company, though her eyes were still on the words sprawled across the screen. She didn't look up either, busy clicking away, closing down this piece or that folder and saving the work she had managed to get done before her stranger could get close enough to read any of it over the top of the screen or from beside her should he sit. Somebody she knew reading it was a bad enough thought, someone she didn't was never going to happen, and hopefully if he'd heard her earlier he hadn't heard much.
Closing the laptop she looked up to find that as she clicked away at the numerous windows her company had stationed himself standing and looking down at her. She definitely didn't know him, not that she minded she liked meeting knew people every now and again and as long as he avoided prying too much they'd likely get along fine. At least she thought as much unknowing as to who exactly she was about to talk with. "Depends on your definition of 'any job'. Even I've got a limit or two." Kian planted a friendly smile across her lips and crossed her ankles as she shifted the computer in her lap so as not to let it fall. "Feel free to try and hire me though, I could use something to do besides sit on my ass and type."
She really could, she was sure half the Raines family were turning in their graves (or the closest they had to one) at the fact that one of them had gone a day without some sort of real work getting done or at the very least getting in a good work out. At least her parents has supported her writing when she was younger, the rest of the family had insisted she be trained like any other Raines kid, for work that wouldn't be found on this station. But then again, had the rest of them not been hit by old age or been taken by some sort of sickness much like her parents they probably would have created a black market one way or another up here and ruled just as they did back on the planet, all was likely for the better that they hadn't. And that wasn't even touching on the crazies that had taken up science in her family, once you started dabbling into that part of the history it was speak and die sort of classified. At least this way, as the only one left the station wouldn't need to worry about that, just her getting pissed off and breaking something as no Raines made it past the age of ten without knowing how to break a bone. A grin still on her face Kian added. "Whatever you've got I'm sure I can get it taken care of in a timely enough manner." ------------------------------ I'll tell you why I'm awake[/color][/font] ______________________________________________________________________________ Lyrics:Are you a ghost-B*Witched

Oh?
When Spiral took his place beside Kian, looming over her he noticed that her screen had seemed rather blank. Now that he thought about it her model was one of the more solid styles, keeping the same standard as earthen use and avoiding the transparent holographic models that were fresh off the line. Sure they were pricey as hell, short in supply, and saved for some of the highest figures but he was sure any woman could get their hands on it if they really wanted. But putting one and one together Spiral figured she must’ve wanted to keep whatever she was looking at a secret, nothing more embarrassing than being caught watching porn in the middle of the hall. People could be so weird ~
But the fact that she had a limit made her seem more normal. Everyone had boundaries they wouldn’t cross so Spiral would have to tread carefully to not cross hers too quickly. Personal experience had told him it was okay to bound over that line but he’d have to get to know her better and weasel his way into her approval. “Well the job I have in mind can be done quite quickly… But it’s one of those where it’s better to take your time.” Huehuehue. The comment would seem innocent and maybe a bit enigmatic to her but Spiral couldn’t help but be amused at the underlying meaning behind his statement.
“But it’s a special type of job so I might be a bit selective of the taker. I already went through the job board, finishing off everything and couldn’t find any of the other takers being suitable for it. So I hope you don’t mind if I want to get to know you better,” his tone seemed genuine and he said it with a warm grin. There was no malicious intent behind his word because there was nothing malicious about wanting to horse around with a pretty girl like Kian. Or at least Spiral thought so which made acting so much easier and bordered being real. Although now that he noticed it Kian seemed a bit… He couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Her appearance was fine, slim but well built and more that capable of taking some tussling on the good ole’ love bed. Something about her appeal made his head bother him, a clouded thought nagging him at the back of his head.

[/color][/font] ------------------------------ Kian simply shrugged as he said it was something one would rather take their time with, whatever he meant by that she'd wait and see. It's not like she had much to do anyway, she could use to kill some time. Instead she turned her attention down to her ankles and began to slowly make circles with her left foot, if she was going to get up and do something she'd need to loosen it up a bit. The long ago wound she sustained being the culprit of the slightest pain that the action gave her left her with a frown as she returned her attention to Spiral, though the friendly smile from earlier returned in time to hide it.
Her brows furrowed as he mentioned getting to know her better, the rest of it going in one ear and staying long enough for her to know he'd said it before going out the other while 'get to know you better' lingered. She clenched her jaw behind her smile, of course he'd want to get to know her, while it made her question this job of his a little she couldn't really say much as she'd rather someone she knew do any job she might have for someone herself. No what bothered her about it was the question of how much did he want to know? She disliked that greatly though she wouldn't show it, what better a way to push someone away than make it known you'll only ever let them see the surface of the water? Kian looked him over, if she was going to even consider letting him get to know her, even if only a little she'd be observing him far more closer now than she had been. Actually before she hadn't even given it much thought and hadn't even given him a good look over.
"Depends," Without realizing it she let her smile fall to a more neutral straight line, her eyes continuing to drift over him as she talked. "I'm not about to tell just anybody anything." More like she wasn't about to tell anybody anything. Her eyes returned to his face with the slightest of smiles tugging at the corners of her lips. Despite the look on her face before her tone was fairly friendly, at least enough to not sound like he'd hit too touchy a subject. While she wasn't keen on the idea of sharing anything about herself the guy in question didn't seem too bad, maybe even a little on the cute side, at least on the surface. But she knew better than that, the surface told you little of the truth. Depending on where he decided to take this bit of getting to know her she'd be picking him apart just as much, or just as little. ------------------------------ I'll tell you why I'm awake[/color][/font] ______________________________________________________________________________ Lyrics:Are you a ghost-B*Witched

have you heard of the big bad wolf? that lives to steal and eats for pleasure [atrb=width,450][atrb=border,3,true][atrb=rules,none,true][atrb=bordercolor,000000,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,10,true][atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/2ppa59f.jpg,true]
Hiding your feeling was easy and their exchange had been full of it. Spiral had missed her frown at the pain of her ankle but he did snag a glance at her brows creasing as her response to his request. Was there already a snag in his road to bed this fair maiden? From here it was a game of holding pretense and getting her to lower her guard for his next attack. It was time like these he’d be able to use what he studied and researched to see if what he did was really a waste of time. Time to pull out the magic and go for another clutch save!~
If Kian was going to observe him then she’d also be under his own scrutiny but his would be harder to catch. All of her actions would be analyzed and broken down to motives, which may not be correct but that’s what field work was for. You couldn’t just sit and read about human behavior all day without at least examining a real person. But that reading would serve him well as he deciphered the disappearance of her smile into a confirmation of edginess on his earlier comment. That or she had been forcing herself to smile and her mouth finally got tired of holding an unfamiliar stance, which was unlikely but still a possibility. He had to look at it from every angle, or at least until he got to a certain stage in the relationship where he could prance around with his more open persona.
“I didn’t mean it like that,” he shifted a bit seeming a bit more nervous, which was just a ruse, “I don’t want to pry into your life story… if that’s what you think I meant. I’m more interested in your character, see what type of person you are.”

[/color][/font] ------------------------------ It was a reasonable request, to know her character, especially if the job was of some large importance. If you wanted a job well done it was best to go with someone reliable and bound to do it right. But while that's what he may want to know now, she knew it would only be a matter of time before he'd want to know more, that was how it always went. She was more than selective about the people that got to know more. She kept her eyes locked on his even when he shifted and picked up on what seemed to be nervousness. She knew some people found that unnerving, especially since her stare tended to almost be harsh, but she was intent on keeping eye contact.
"Well I can't really argue with that." She brought a leg to her chest and leaned an elbow on the knee pressed her chin into the back of her knuckles and she continued to talk. "As long as it's reasonable I don't mind sharing a little. Just be sure you intend to share as well, I'm not one for being the only person putting something up in this sort of exchange." Her face softened into a smile in an attempt to be more friendly, it matched with the tone of her voice and the hint of playfulness that may have been picked up in it. She disliked coming across as unapproachable with any subject, despite it being touchy, she didn't like it much but this might just end up with her walking on egg shells. Dancing around this and trying not to show that and hopefully avoiding any need to explain herself, this was starting to look like a it may be a longer job than she thought. Good thing she had nothing better to do. ------------------------------ I'll tell you why I'm awake[/color][/font] ______________________________________________________________________________ Lyrics:Are you a ghost-B*Witched
