Maybe Three Isn't a Crowd. (Hild/Hypatia)

[Yuki Tsuri Kuroyumi]

It was something all people did, it was a nice thought. Just going out to relax on the town, letting everything go and just try to find something of interest to grab one's attention. That too applied to the teachers and students alike. However, being a teacher came with the perks of being able to legally drink and be out at the bars and clubs without having to worry about if you'd get caught or not. Of course, if you walked into the school the next day with bag under your bloodshot eyes, and raged at every loud sound you heard? Well it would be easy to tell what you had been doing the night before. But that only happened if one lacked self control, and that was were a lot of people slipped up. Thinking they could just get away with it so long as they drank a lot of water and did whatever else they could do to level out the alcohol in their system.

The funny thing about all of that though, is that it would still affect the bodily systems and make the day ahead just absolutely terrible. But people were silly creatures and liked to push their limits as much as they could. However, that was just a few observations from one of the teachers at the local University. Letting out a soft sigh as she strolled into the place, wearing her black heels, a nice deep purple dress that showed off her "assets" a bit, and having a black over coat on over that, and of course she had her trademark white lace fan with her. No matter where she want, that was always with her. Even in a place like this, and it was kinda clear that she was here to dance, however she did like three things here. The booze, the music, and the people. And there was plenty of both in this place, which was perfectly fine with her. And who knows, perhaps she would find a way to have a bit more fun.

Making her way over to the bar area she sat there, crossing one leg over the other and ordered herself a drink, telling the bartender in the area to keep a tab for her and that she'd pay for it at the end of the night, which if what she did every time she came to this place. So they knew she could be trusted to do such a thing and then when she got her drink she just sipped at it, taking in the sounds of the music and of the people around her. A calm smile was painted across her ruby red lips as she did this. She didn't mind if people just passed her over, she was used to that by now, however it was a little wounding to see so many people as couples around the place, but then again she just figured that she would have to bind her time and wait. Wait for her chance. For her turn to come to her. She could do that...Or so she thought.

As she drank her drink in her little area at the bar, her mind started to wander. She could have just spent the night at home and had a movie night or something, but she felt that coming out here would have been the better choice. Though she couldn't really explain the reasons as to why. But that wasn't really the important thing now was it? No, the fact that she was out here and trying to have a good time that was the important thing. Though she was sure if the people around her got drunk enough that would be the time that they would start to hit on her. But then and only then. So it wasn't something she was quite looking forward to. Though she knew that the bouncers and the other people at the club wouldn't let people bother her that much unless she wanted them to. The benefit of having been coming here for a few years. She knew a good deal of the staff and they even would meet out outside of the place to have talks and all of that sort of thing. It wasn't that she was completely alone, it was just that she had never had a dating experience, no kisses, none of that. No one was ever really interested.

"Who knows. Perhaps tonight shall actually be worth the time and effort of coming out to this place. Then again I have been telling myself that same thing for years now. Silly me~ I suppose that's just my patience coming into play again. Just have to wait and hope things start to look up for me~" And with that she got another drink and just let her mind roam while listening to the music, trying to not focus on the people at all, for that would only make things all the worse on her. And right now? She didn't need that at all.

[hypatia]

As she walked up to the bar, Hypatia wondered why she was going. Sure, she knew why in one sense, Hild had been pressuring her to go, blabbering on about all sorts of fun things would be going on – how they could meet people, have a few drinks, and then wind up back home. The dark-skinned woman had also said a few things about finding some unsuspecting girl and taking her home, but as far as Hypatia was concerned, Hild was far too into that, into having multiple partners at the same time, something she herself was only really comfortable while drunk or under special circumstances, but Hypatia enjoyed Hild’s company, and so she bent her own rules a little for her roommate/love, if only for the time being. Plus, it never hurts to try new things, at least for a little bit, right? And, hey, she was a sucker for those puppy dog eyes.

When she went inside, Hypatia was surprised at how crowded it was – she did not expect the club to have this many people there on a Tuesday night, seeing as how most people had work or classes the next day. Hell, she had to teach the next morning, and so probably should not have been there, especially since Hypatia had a bit of a problem controlling herself. No, she was not really an alcoholic, she had barely drank since that night with Hild a week and a half ago, but when she went out on a special occasion, she liked to do it big, and even though this was not really a special occasion, she planned on just making a fool out of herself… as long as Hild was paying her tab. Besides, as long as you ate some bread and drank a lot of water before going to sleep, the hangover was usually pretty light – it dilutes the alcohol and soaks it up right? Right? Well, that was what this non-biologically inclined artist thought, since those traditions had served her well in college, and, as long as she remembered, she would be doing it tonight.

The only problem was, there was barely any free space at the bar and without Hild, she couldn’t go onto the dance floor and she would have felt uncomfortable grabbing one of the few open tables. So, she guessed she would make her way to the bar, there was an open stool between some blonde girl in a beautiful purple dress and some brunette who was flirting with the guy sitting next to her – as long as she was between two girls, it would be a bit easier to avoid being hit on by drunk guys, since the other girls might draw their attention, especially that blonde. But still, as Hypatia walked over to the bars, going around the dance floor, she noticed more than a few people staring, not sure if it was her robot blue nail polish, lipstick, and eye shadow, the fact that she was wearing her grandmother’s military uniform (from the old country), or just the two reasons that men usually stared at her – whatever the case, she didn’t mind – she was looking fancy and going out for fun, so people could feel free to stare.

At the bar, she took her seat between the two women, not saying anything to either, and flagged down a bartender to start herself on the path to dangerous intoxication. “A scotch neat, the good stuff, and put it on Hild Ravencroft’s tab,” she told the girl behind the counter, only to be told in response that she could not just put drinks on someone else’s bar tab. Hypatia then just told her to get her the drink and put it on her own tab (she’d get Hild to pay her tab, then), but the girl said no, she would pay as she went along, obviously not trusting that Hypatia would actually pay her own tab, since it seemed to the bartender that the orange haired girl was unwilling to pay. And that was a problem, since her wallet only had a few dollars, her bank account was near empty (and she still was waiting on a check to clear), and she did not let herself take credit cards to bars, not after what happened that one time. So, asking for a water, Hypatia leaned back in her chair, saying, “If that girl does not get here soon, I’m going to leave.”

[Hild Ravencroft]

Hild was just thankful right now to actually be walking to the joker...It had been a nightmare of a day. She had had to cancel her club, and just about everything cause not only did a student NOT follow directions, she had no idea what the hell they even did. She was just thankful Rune had been in the room at the time and realized the student had somehow made pure nitroglycerin. All the chemistry classes she had attended and taught.. no one screwed up that bad. Sure there had been explosions and other hazardous mixtures.. but nothing that powerful, and that reactive. And just as a kicker, when the bomb squad detonated it in place.. cause they couldn't risk moving it, it blew out parts of the wall.. that hit her car... and her car alone. And then proceeded to spend the next several hours trying to explain what the hell had happened, how it happened, and why the school now had to pay to replace an entire room. And she had to weight for a car that cost her a ton of money to get back from the shop because it thankfully wasn't totaled. But she sure as hell couldn't drive it.

She was just thankful that Hypatia had agreed to go out drinking with her tonight... since they both had some of the same pain in the ass students. And after the nightmare that was this day so far, she needed a drink... no several drinks... you know what, she needed to just lay under a keg of damn alcohol. And not one of those ones you saw at parties either, no, she needed one of those ones that was as big as an old ship boiler. Hopefully, getting drunk and going home with Hypatia would make this day better. And as much as she had been kidding about finding a girl in the bar... considering the day she had, and the fact the Russians were out of town with Sophie for the next couple days... maybe today that wouldn't be a joke.. she didn't care if Hypatia joined or just watched... she knew that while it took a while for the alcohol to actually hit her system.. she was going to be more then drunk to want two girls at some point. Other then her usual attention loving self, which well, after this day having some fun would be good drunk or sober.

She walked into the club, wearing her favorite dress since she had taken the time to try and get herself cleaned up and nice looking. But she still looked a little worse for wear. She looked out at the dance floor, half expecting Hypatia to be out there.. but then again knowing her she wasn't totally drunk yet and would be at the bar. Though, she looked at the crowd and all, looking for a good candidate and all... but they were all too young or too flat... or students, which at least the Russians weren't students, even if they were in a similar age range. Roughly 4 or 5 years younger then Hild and Hypatia, but that was the general limit on her "would sleep with" age difference. With few exceptions of course. She found Hypatia sitting at the bar in a tan military looking form and laughed. She made her way over and wrapped her arms around Hypatia's waist from behind and put her Head on Hypatia's shoulder. "Always got to point out that your the man of the relationship don't you?" Hild said playfully before kissing Hypatia on the cheek. When you saw the two of them together, Hild was always wearing a dress, or something else highly feminine, where Hypatia was usually wearing something more masculine, like her army outfit, or in general pants and a shirt. She then looked at the glass of water in front of Hypatia and sighed. She looked over at the bartender and said "For crying out loud I told you people she could put drinks on my tab.", to which the bartending girl gave a rather impolite reply saying how it was the rules with no exceptions... more in the tone then how she said it. Though, while hild was half-way over the bar to go beat some manners into the girl, Rune grabbed a hold of her and pulled her back down.

"She has an arrangement with the owner.. and she has had a REALLY bad day.. I suggest you do what she says" Rune said, Hild yanking away from his grip. Rune put his hands up and took a step back, not wanting to incur his older cousins wrath. Hild took a couple deep breaths, before fixing her dress and calmly saying "Give me whatever the strongest thing you can give me or make is, and put all of her drinks on my tab...." then looking over and recognizing the girl right next to where she had been trying to climb over the counter. She was pretty sure she taught biology at the university, though, she avoided those classrooms like the plague.. she didn't need THOSE memories dragged up. But she was hot.. and in her age range.. and she did kind of feel bad for her having to see all that... and she was hot. "And put her drinks on it as well.. or will that be a problem?" Hild said, the girl shaking her head as she went to go get Hild's drink.

"Sorry you had to see all that", she said to the long haired blonde, "I have just had a nightmare of a day... you teach up at KU, right?" she asked at the end, truly feeling bad for her little outburst.. well, towards her and Hypatia and other customers anyway... the rude little girl tending the bar.. not as much. The girl came back with a glass that was probably about three shots worth.. and Hild downed it in a single go. "Two more of those for starters" Hild said, the girl going off to get two more.

[Yuki Tsuri Kuroyumi]

So it seemed like more and more people shared the same ideals, shared the same thoughts of coming to this place to relax and to try and get their mind off of the day. Or perhaps, trying to get themselves set up to completely ignore the next day because some of the events of this day or before were just being too much of a stress building for people to handle at the time. Then again, the same might be said for her. Though she wouldn't really admit that, nor did she know if it really applied, because so far she was having a good time at her work. And there were some rather...Nice looking subjects at the University. Which made it all the better to be a part of right?

Then again, given her luck it wouldn't really work out for her either way. She would have to watch all the nice little couples with each other while she, herself was off on her own. It was the same during her schooling years. It wasn't like she wasn't appealing to the eye, and she did try to get with people, but they never were interested. She thought it might have been because of her childhood, because once people learned of that, that's when they really started to change, started to drift away from her because to them she wasn't "good enough to waste time on." Yeah, that REALLY helped with the self-esteem and all of that. It was a bit of a vicious cycle. Making her wonder if she should try to lie about her past and see if that helped.

Letting out a sigh into her drink, she just continued to be lost in her thoughts, though she did notice the woman in the military uniform having the trouble with the bartender, though she didn't understand WHAT the problem was. It wasn't like they would lose money or anything. Though she didn't want to over step any lines or anything, she would have paid for the woman's drinks until the company the other was waiting for arrived. Then again it was hard to say what would have happened if she had done that. Probably would have gotten yelled at or ignored or something. Oh how fun was it that the past continued to torment in the present? Was it so much to ask to have...Something? Anything?

Finishing her current drink and then getting another she started to look around at the people, noticing that they were looking at the one in the military get up and then she just looked down at the counter, thinking about just leaving, but that was before she saw someone else come in and walk over toward them, and better yet it seemed to have been the company the other had been waiting for. So they were a couple...At that she put on a sad looking smile and then sipped at her drink, trying her damnedest to fight back the thoughts plaguing her mind at the moment, but that was easier said than done.

However, with the arrival of this other woman, things started to get more and more interesting. It seemed that she was wanting the bartender to place the drinks for both women on one tab, but upon that getting refused, this new woman started to rage. It was then that she finally connected where she had seen them. They were Professors at the University. So that's where she had seen them, and then she was sure that the dark-skinned woman was involved with that accident at the school. Which was further confirmed by the other person that had arrived at the same time.

She would have to admit to herself, it was rather amusing to watch, and the girl behind the bar nearly jumped out of their skin as the woman tried to get over the counter. Which of course gave her a nice little view of what the dark-skinned woman was working with, but she didn't look for long, knowing that she was with the other woman. Closing her eyes as she finished her drink again and still thought about leaving, still thought about getting out while she still could before things got too awkward for her. She was never sure why she came here still. That little hope that it might be different? Foolishness really. She just wasn't meant to get into a relationship. Yes. That was it. That made perfect sense...Right?

Though just as she was starting to get up to go she heard the other speaking to her, which caused her to stop moving completely and focus on the words that were being said. Tilting her head to the side a bit as she looked at the two other females and then turned herself to be facing them completely. So now her drinks were also on the other's tab? And she was getting told sorry for the actions. It would be rude to leave after such kind gestures, so she just smiled at them and giggled softly, and when she spoke, she spoke in that soft and almost seductive tone that was her normal speaking voice.

"Well, yes I do teach at the University, and I am aware of the day you've had. I do hope everything was taken care of and you weren't harmed or anything. It was a rather...Loud noise and then all the damage. I do honestly hope everything is alright. And as for your little display there, it's perfectly alright. No need to say sorry to me or anyone else really. You've had a rough day, you deserve to let it out, right?" And as those words left her mouth, those nice ruby red lips of her's curled up into a gentle smile. She would stay for a while now, not wanting to be rude and toss away the kindness that was being shown to her.

Pulling out her fan she kept it closed and poked at both of the other female's noses and giggled softly again. "And unless I am mistaken, you two are together, which leads me to believe that the lady that was here first is also a Professor of the University? I do believe I've seen her around in passing, but that's about all. I suppose now would be as good a time as any for proper introductions. My name is Yuki Kuroyumi. It's a pleasure to meet you both face to face." So, she was trying to make the most of this meeting. That was a good thing right?

And now she had to wait. Wait to probably get told to leave because she didn't belong there, or wait for her actions to have crossed a line she wasn't sure of. There was just so much fear built up from her past, that that was all she could think would happen. But she didn't show it. Instead she just ordered another drink and smiled at the two. Hoping against hope that she didn't make a mistake already.

[hypatia]

It was hard to believe that a club could be dull, but with no booze and no woman, there was nothing really to it except the music and that, well, let us just say that tonight they were not playing the sort of thing Hypatia would have chosen to listen to given the opportunity herself. So, what it was, then, was a loud and crowded place to sit and drink water – and both of those things could be easily done at home, without simply awful music, without a cover, and with the television on or a book open. But, at least she knew that things would change soon, well, they would if Hild ever showed up – while it was like her to be late, it was emphatically not like her to be late when alcohol and dancing were involved, so something might be wrong… not like that would stop her from complaining about how long she took, but she would nonetheless.

And while she sat there, waiting, she wanted to peak over her shoulder every couple of seconds to see if Hild was coming in at that very moment – after about half a minute it became really annoying and, she was sure, made her look a little desperate, so she quickly stopped, though it was a struggle to do so. And, luckily, Hypatia did not need to restrain herself for very long, since she had not even finished her glass of water by the time she felt arms wrap around her waist (she was a bit surprised that those hands were not groping her, but that was just the part of her that liked to make fun of Hild that wanted to mention her false surprise) and the head on her shoulder. Then the joking comment about her needing to look like “the man in the relationship,” something Hypatia had never thought of – she just dressed however the mood struck her, and tonight it was like a soldier girl. After the light kiss on her cheek (and before the outburst at the bartender), Hypatia responded, “I didn’t think I was the man last night, now did I?” A little joke, something she knew Hild would like to be reminded of.

But then, Hild went off at the bartender for not giving her alcohol. To be honest, Hypatia knew it was a long-shot when she asked the bartender in the first place, so she was a bit surprised when her roommate just went off at the girl for it. And as the girl gave her sort of half-hearted explanation for why, Hypatia added, overtop of her, “Calm down, hun, it’s not a big deal, you don’t want your…” she was going to say “your cousin to have to throw you out,” but her cousin had already shown up and was in the process of calming her down and resolving the issue. Well, at least her girl was not going to get kicked out before they had even begun drinking, dancing, and generally behaving badly (the best part of being at a club, well, unless you were… never mind). Though, she was a little concerned about this really bad day thing that Rune (a student of hers who she was uncomfortable with seeing her here doing in a less than professional context) had mentioned. Hopefully is was more like the sort of bad day she had when all her students bitched about how boring (read: difficult to understand) the first day of readings were for the first ten minutes of class and not the sort of general anarchy bad day that the first day of the semester had been.

After that it was more dull things from Hild: ordering drinks, giving orders to the bartender (to who Hypatia apologized, saying “Sorry ‘bout her, she’s just a bit… passionate?”, when the girl brought Hild’s whatever it was and the scotch Hypatia had ordered earlier), mentioning how her day had been a nightmare, chatting to the pretty girl next to them… wait, what? Her day had been a nightmare? That’s pretty strong language – but both her and Rune seemed to be treating it like it was not that big of a deal. Apparently, the fact that the girl next to Hypatia taught at the same university they did was more important than letting her know about what happened that was so bad. Well, actually, that was quite the coincidence, and Hypatia did find her vaguely familiar, and she supposed that it must have been from the university.

But again, more news about this disaster, which started out as a really bad day, was upgraded to nightmare, and now involved being glad that she was safe and loud noises? Was there a bombing at the school or something? Even if she spent the day at the apartment going back and forth between reading Marsilio Ficino and dealing with the Chairmen, Omertas, and White Glove Society, you would think that she would have heard about a bombing. So, after the woman finished telling Hild it was alright (Hypatia spent that time running over in her mind what might have happened), she sort of shouted out, “What the fuck happened today?” and then more calmly, “I mean, every one’s talking about it like there was some sort of disaster.”

Well, leaving that aside, the blonde girl then introduced herself, showed that she deduced that the two were a couple, and poked at their noses with a fan (that last part was a bit weird), but anyway, it wasn’t inappropriate, or anything like that. The only thing that really went into Hypatia’s mind was to answer the questions, “Yeah, we’re together… well, sort of,” at that, she looked at Hild, wondering what sort of response the woman might give, since she was the one who was keen on keeping their relationship mainly friendly and sexual, not romantic, “But yeah, I’m an art teacher at the uni. And you’re right, we’ve never met before, I’m Hypatia, nice to meet you Yuki.”

[Hild Ravencroft]

Hild looked over as Hypatia said about what had happened and was surprised the woman hadn't heard already. Granted Hild hadn't been able to call during the time after the whole fiasco. Though, before she got a chance she heard Yuki and was a bit puzzled as her nose was poked with the fan. This girl was certainly different... and judging by the fact she asked about them being a couple.. she had undoubtedly in hilds mind been eying one or both of them up. But she waited till Hypatia introduced herself to start talking about, well, everything.

"Well Hypatia, One of my student's managed to somehow make pure nitroglycerin in my class by mistake. And we had to evacuate the room as delicately as possible, and the bomb squad had to detonate it in place, which the stuff took out a section of wall, amongst all the other damage, and the debris happened to hit my car, which is now in the shop.That's the short version. And why I was late... I had to try and explain what happened that the student made the stuff... and explain why the school now has to repair the building" She replied as her next two glasses came out and she immediately downed another of the stuff.

"Well, I'm Hild Ravencroft, I'm the general chemistry teacher there." she said, figuring she'd get the introduction out of the way first. She heard Hypatia's semi explanation of how they were, granted Hild was not that surprised she only said they sort of where. Truthfully, Hild did care about Hypatia and wouldn't dare think of running off with another woman on her... but Hild just couldn't bring herself to be totally tied down to one person. She wasn't going to go out and sleep with every woman she could find, just a girl or two that she could sleep with for the sake of doing it and maybe liking each other a bit, but not have a full blown relationship like what she would like to have with Hypatia. She had been making it out as a friendly but having sex deal to try and maybe ease the other woman into just how Hild was. Part of it was nature, part of it was nurture, and she couldn't quite change it. Besides, Hypatia seemed to at least be somewhat understanding of her.

"Well, we are in a sense a couple" Hild said, turning to Hypatia with a grin. Not just any grin though, the one when playful hild came out. She had after all... drunken a bit as she got ready, and while it wasn't enough for the playful slutty school girl, it was enough for Hild to be playful and still be mostly sober. She then turned back to the girl as she added, "But I'm also not fond of being tied down to a single person and am a bit of an attention whore", looking the girl over with the grin still there. She then went and sat in Yuki's lap, lightly wrapping her arms around Yuki as she added, "But it seems like someone was looking at one or both of us, now weren't they?", giving a little laugh. Hild looked over at Hypatia with a smile as she said "Do all you hot blondes with great racks meet here or something?" She liked Hypatia for more then her hot body, but of course she was envious of Hypatia... and as she looked down Yuki her as well. Sure, Hild was well endowed... but both of the blondes actually had bigger busts then hers.

[Yuki Tsuri Kuroyumi]

Now this was truly starting to get more and more interesting. Not really knowing how she should be reacting to all of this, still having that nagging feeling of wanting to get out, but at the same time, she didn't want to leave the presence of these two women. For some reason, she felt a bit more welcome around them then anywhere else, or perhaps it was just her head playing tricks on her. Either way, she wasn't about to walk away from something like this. That would probably be the most foolish thing she could have ever done. Or maybe getting away from it all would be the best choice? It was hard to say, but she was going to stay. Oh yes.

And so, she was checking them both out, it would be a little hard not to. They were both very pleasing to the eyes, they both had things that made them stand out. The blonde woman, Hypatia, she had a nice figure, and her eyes were a nice thing to look at as well. The woman also seemed to be a bit more level headed than the other, Hild. But that was just an observation. It could have been wrong of course, but still she wouldn't know that right off the top of her head.

The other woman, Hild...She had the dark skin, the white hair and a rather fiery attitude, perhaps even playful. So they both had things going for them that caught her attention. But wasn't it bad for her to be getting interested in people that were in a couple already? That would only end bad for her, and yet she couldn't help herself at the moment. It just felt right to be getting an interest in the two of them. Of course, she was well aware that she was setting herself up to be hurt, but she was used to such things by now. She would just try to take it in stride and move on. That's all she could do. That she was ever able to do.

Listening to the two talk and respond to what was being side, all she could do at the time was drink from her drink, and try to behave herself, though with everything that was going on? That was going to prove to be harder and harder. Even more so when Hild walked over and sat in her lap, and then Hild placed arms around her. Normally this is where she would like to be, but she didn't know how to react to this, it was the first time anyone had ever gotten this close to her, and well because of that? She sort of wanted to panic, but she had to admit, she did enjoy this closeness, even if the woman just said she was with Hypatia.

Though there was also the words that Hild didn't like to be tied down to one person, so maybe she would be the toy for the night? If that were so, then she would have to try and do her best, even if she didn't really know what to do. She'd probably get laughed at and told to stay at home once they learned that she was still a complete virgin. Not been on a date, and not even really kissed a person either. She was so far behind either of the two of them from the sounds of it. So at first? She just sat there sipping at her drink and then she slammed the rest of it down to try and figure out what to do. She needed to speak, that much was certain.

"Well, I'll be perfectly honest. I was checking you both out a bit. After all, having such examples of beauty near me, I couldn't just let the chance slip by. And I'm sorry if that was over stepping my limits, I couldn't help myself, though it seems limits aren't really that big of a deal, having you in my lap like this, which I must say...I find rather nice, however I don't want to cause any problems for anyone. Though I suppose if I gain the approval of you both, that would open the path to do something." She let out a small giggle as she got another drink and just slammed it down, and now? Now she was getting a bit more loose, and so...She talked again.

"See...I live on my own, so I have a lot of free time. I can cook just about anything...Candies, Ice Creams, pies, cakes, all sorts of sweets and other foods. I also clean rather well and do other things like that. I suppose that's what happens when one doesn't have a lover or...anyone around. I suppose I focus on all of that to make sure I don't feel lonely." She then opened her fan a bit and hid her face behind it, not sure if what she just said would make them push her away, which wouldn't surprise her. Given her past, she really had no chance at any of this, but at least she was out and trying to make it be so. Even if that chance was rather moot. Hitting on a couple. How silly.

But again, it was something she just couldn't help. So what if she was girlie, so what if she didn't have anyone to share her time with. She was still herself, and she would do what she could to enjoy her time tonight. It wasn't like she would get turned away just for that, right? She didn't know to be honest but what she did do, was place her arms around Hild slightly as she giggle a bit more, closing the fan back up as she closed her eyes slightly, and then looked over to Hypatia, then to Hild and just smiled a bit. Perhaps...The night would be a good one.

[hypatia]

Wait, what? An explosion at the school? So her guess of a bombing was not far off? It was sort of a shock to her and as the story went on (granted it was not a long story), Hypatia just sort of became, worried – Hild could have died! Her reaction ultimately was to exclaim, “Why didn’t you call me? You could have died today. I would have been worried sick if I had heard about the explosion but not from you,” but as she said that, she sort of realized her crazy it sounded… and how much she sounded like her parents, “but, uh, I guess you, uh, you had better things to worry about than calling, eh?” She gave a sort of awkward laugh after that, as a means of apologizing for her overreaction.

Then Hild gave her introduction, seemingly ignoring Hypatia’s little comment about what they were to one another. Maybe she should have just said that they were roommates, that way it wouldn’t feel sort of awkward, with the girl she wanted to call her girlfriend not even correcting her to say she was her lover or anything. It sort of hung there, in the air, at least to Hypatia – she was sure she was making a much bigger deal of it than she should. Especially since it was not long before Hild actually did say that they were sort of a couple, but then she had to go on. About how she didn’t want to be “tied down” and whatnot. It cut through Hypatia, like a knife. Sure, it was too early in their relationship, whatever that was, to be all we’re going to be together forever and lovey-dovey (they weren’t teenagers, after all), but at the same time, to hear someone talk like that, it just made her feel like it might be hopeless to even try to build something permanent with the girl. If roles had been reversed, she would have said something about how it was too early to really be considered partners or girlfriends or whatever. But just the language, tied down to one person; Hypatia found it liberating to be tied down – she could let rely completely on her partner and bare her entire self to her. But, it takes different strokes to rule the world, eh? And now the girl she wanted to date was sitting on another girl’s lap staring at her breasts (well, for just a moment or two).

You could see Hypatia was a bit uncomfortable with it, and when Hild asked about blonde girls and their big breasts, she had turned to take another drink, a big one, from her scotch – she was going to be drunk if she was going to be able to watch this. It was weird, how something could be nothing, but still have an effect, eh? Like both of them said, they were only sort of a couple, but looking to the future made the present feel weird. Her response to Hild was a bit curt, to reflect her mood, “I don’t know, my hair’s orange, so maybe all blondes do have great tits.” And as soon as she said this, again, she regretted it, and turned over on her stool, drink still in hand, taking another big sip before offering a concession to Hild, “But yeah, I think Miss Yuki here was eying us up a bit, maybe she thinks she can take us both on,” winking at Hild and Yuki. It made her feel better to joke around – maybe there was something to not being such a stuck up bitch.

But when the girl talked, she seemed so, weird. Not weird like she herself was or like Hild was, but awkward and uncomfortable, almost like she didn’t talk in public. Maybe she wasn’t out and it felt uncomfortable to talk to women like this in public (or maybe she was straight). Those made sense to her, the idea that such a pretty women of such an age had never really flirted or dated – that would have stuck Hypatia as a lie, a fantastic story. On the plus side, though, Hypatia loved sweets, and could think of more than one way to use ice cream and pie filling that would be fun for all involved. Despite Hild being on the girl’s lap, Hypatia patted her knee, trying to calm her down and reassure her, “It’s alright, Yuki, you don’t have to be nervous. Hild and I both think you’re pretty and you’re definitely cute, now you just have to calm down a bit and everything will be alright?” Hypatia turned to look at Hild, “See what you’ve done, you’ve got the girl all flustered, and can you blame her – a hot girl jumps in her lap, she doesn’t know what to do anymore.”

[Hild Ravencroft]

Hild understood why Hypatia was worried, and she had wanted to call her, she just couldn't. Though, she saw the oh so familiar action of taking a drink when you wanted to forget something or not care after her version of the situation. To be fair Hild wasn't always sure how to explain what she wanted, and didn't think the direct approach of it would help. The best way to describe it she always supposed was that she wanted a relationship, but also wanted her sexual freedom, but to Hild it always sounded like she wanted to just go off and screw everything she could find. She just wanted a girl or two on the side, or to include with her and Hypatia if she was up for it. She did see herself staying by Hypatia's side in a permanent relationship, just having someone else she can go to bed with as well because while she was fine with a relationship if the sex got boring... why did it have to? That could be saved for if they got old and no longer had any sex appeal... if being that she didn't know about Hypatia but her own family tended to physical age rather gracefully.

But as she heard Yuhi's little thing and Hypatia's comment about getting her flustered, Yuki sounded like a perfect third wheel for the two. Hild had had images over the last week in her head of her and Hypatia getting out of the apartment and into a house... without the russian girls since they were obviously hot for each other more then Hild and Hypatia, and just hadn't figured it out yet. But now she imagined Yuki there as well, as a friend and all of course but also doing all the things she listed in a some what skimpy maid uniform, and her and Hypatia playing with her. She had plenty of ideas though involving both girls and some of the dessert stuff. Playing with food in that sense could be fun. Plus.. well... as much as her parents didn't have maids and all as rich as they were, going to her cousins house (since his family did), she always thought it'd be hot to have a maid or something like it in her house to bang. And even hotter and kinky if she had a partner she was in a relationship with and they both enjoyed "fucking the help" as it were, separate or together. How much of Hild's little fantasy scenario coming true was questionable at best.. Though in that scenario she was pretty much content with only one other girl.

But she was going to put that to the side for two seconds. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable Yuki" she said with a smile, and making it clear with her tone she was in no way done with Yuki yet. But she had to attend to Hypatia as well, she was, in Hild's mind, her girlfriend after all. She got off of Yuki's lap and went over and sat in Hypatia's, giving her a kiss. "I wanted to call you my love, but the cops wouldn't let me talk to anyone except a lawyer while they questioned me on what happened." she said first, not thinking when she had added "my love" to the sentence. "And to me, it actually looks like a deeper blonde, or strawberry kind of blonde, but your not jealous are you?" she added, pressing her body up against Hypatia's as she gave her a longer and more intimate kiss. She slowly broke it before she said, "you know it's only because my body want's so much more attention, not like I'm gonna go run off on you with her." She was serious about it, but making it sound playful. The bit with the drink and the orange hair bit to Hild had her thinking she had made Hypatia jealous or hurt her. Which she didn't really want to do. Hypatia was the only girl so far to NOT totally take advantage of the fact Hild wanted to be able to have a little bit of freedom to have a little something on the side that she could also bring to the party.

She then looked to Yuki with a grin, and then back to Hypatia again, that naughty school girl smile back on her face. "Besides Hypatia, I was thinking of when we move out of that apartment.", scooting up as close as she could to Hypatia. "Just think, we can bring her along in place of the Russians and dress her in a sexy little maid uniform, and just think of all the fun we can have with each other and her with the stuff she can make." Hild added then looking over with that same smile to see Yuki's reaction to what she said. "Besides, then she wont be lonely" she added, while looking at Yuki, but then turning to Hypatia again as she continued. "And you got to admit that if she's the help, then banging it would be really hot". Though, with all the little thoughts going through her head, she decided regardless of who's place they went to... cause she was truly hoping Hypatia liked this girl enough that she could be a permanent third, but no matter what, they were just going to have to get some whip cream or something for tonight.

[Yuki Tsuri Kuroyumi]

It really did seem like she was doing the one thing she didn't want to do, it seemed like she was causing issues for the two, simply by being here. Perhaps she was right, perhaps she shouldn't try that love thing. It just seemed to be more and more stressing. But at the same time, even if it meant she was just an added feature, something extra...It would mean something to her. Because it would stop that annoying feeling of being alone. But that was going to be a long shot it seemed. One liked her or, rather wanted to play with her already, but the other seemed to be getting a little...Testy. Perhaps moving to another area of the club would be a wise decision now?

Hearing all the talk about her chest and all of that made her think that was one of the only things either of the others had noticed, and if that was true, then so be it. She knew she didn't have much else going for her, but at least there was something there. Even if it was something more physical, but that wasn't quite right as she would find out soon. She was just there, and unsure of what she should do. It was almost as if this alone should show to the two that she wasn't exactly the most well versed in sexual encounters of any kind. But for these two? She could see herself going full tilt lesbian.

Though saying that to herself and then saying that to them? That was something so very different. Then when she felt the other slip from her and go back over to Hypatia and saw and heard everything, she suddenly felt even more out of place, a main thing that showed this was that she had touched her lips and then turned away from the two a bit, focusing more on her drink than being a thorn in their side. Yes, that's probably all she was being. Just like when she was growing up. No matter how hard she tried, she'd always been...That little thorn in people's sides that was better off forgotten. And she -knew- that.

Or...So she thought, it was then that she heard all the lines about her wearing a sexy maid outfit and them doing all sorts of things to her and all of that other stuff that Hild was saying. Now, the inner her was wanting to freak out and get up and leave, but only because she had never heard anyone talk of her in such a context. However, the outer her? She just smiled slyly and took bit of her drink, letting out a happy little giggle at the thought. Because quite honestly? She loved the thought. However, would Hypatia go for it? If they both wanted something like that, she would gladly do it. Let them play with her all they wanted. She certainly wouldn't mind.

Though they couldn't really read her mind, now could they? And if they could? That would be a little scary because that would mean they would have already knew what she was going to do and say. But she was fairly certain that things like that were completely fictitious, and going off of that feeling she looked to the tender and got a new drink, slowly drinking more of it and then turned to the two of them, her ruby red lips still curled up into that smile as she let out a playful little giggle at the two.

"Well now, that sounds like it could be fun. Being the sexy little maid for the two of you that is. Well so long as the outfit was a dark color. I'm not a huge fan of white, but I suppose I wouldn't be in a place to ask for what colors I get to wear in that case. However, I think I would make a good little maid for the two of you. After all depending on how the outfit is, I might make it even better by wearing, or perhaps not wearing certain things with it~" And now her own playful side was out. Though she was completely serious with becoming that little maid thing Hild was talking about. Of course, it was all up to Hypatia on how it would play out. After all, needed them both to be okay with it.

Taking in a slight breath she closed her eyes and then nodded a bit. She had to make sure they knew she was being serious. After all, if they just thought she was playing? They might see it as her mocking them or something, and she wouldn't want that to happen. No, that would be a horrible turn of events to what would have been a nice night, right? At least she thought so. And now, now her head was tilting to the side as she was thinking on just how to word all of this, on how to convey that she was completely serious. Of course, she could always be blunt. That seemed to work well. And so? She did just that, looking right at them both as she spoke.

"Well let me say this. And I hope it makes things easier. Should you both approve of it, I'll gladly become your little maid toy~ It would certainly give me something to do, I wouldn't be on my own anymore, and well...The fun that could be had with everything I could make and then all the things that could be done...I think it's a wonderful idea personally. But like I said, both of you need to be alright with it. I don't wish to cause rifts or problems for the two of you. I think that's all I can think to say about that little tidbit."

So now she would have to sit and wait, wait to see how this all played out. She was sure Hild was already all over the idea, since the woman had come up with it. And if she was alright with it, that just left Hypatia. However, she didn't know just how the woman would react, so she just continued to smile at them and hoped for the best. Even if the best meant she was a maid, a plaything for the two of them, it would certainly be VERY much better than what she was now and she knew that. And...She wanted that very much.

[hypatia]

The part about why she did not call made a lot of sense (though she could have called after the police let her go) and the thing about hair, eh, she didn’t care that much about it (though she was probably going to go get some hair dye to make sure that it was bright orange instead of blonde in the next couple of days), but Hild was right about the jealousy thing – she was a bit jealous about Hild sitting in the other girl’s lap and had been more than happy to receive her into her lap and get a kiss from her. Sure, it was not her proudest moment being jealous, but, it was what it was, and she answered Hild’s little question, which seemed as much to make fun of her (which Hypatia deserved) as to actually find out if she was jealous, by saying, “Well, maybe a little,” and then kissing her again, before the discussion of Yuki moving in with them.

Wait, was she hearing things correctly? Hild wanted to hire this girl, who was a university professor, to be, in the immortal words of Frank Reynolds, a bang-maid? Hypatia wondered if it was just her or if people over here around KU were just completely insane, or at least she wondered it after her first meeting with Hild and the first class she taught this year and then now with Hild. Maybe it was something they put in the water, that just drove everyone off the deep end. Surely, though, this girl, though shy and awkward, would not be so desperate that she would welcome the opportunity to be what was essentially a whore. Well, maybe she would after all? Hypatia was just shocked at this, though she hid it as best she could. She must be in some sort of asylum, surrounded by maniacs. Calm yourself down, she told herself, Don’t get all worked up about it – clearly they’re just joking. No sane person would ask someone they’ve just met to come live with them as a bang-maid, it’s just a little game they’re playing, like really intense, absurd flirting. So don’t bitch out on them like usual, play along and just let it go. Tomorrow morning, this whole thing about bang-maids will not even be something worth remembering. At least, that’s what she thought and hoped.

Still, it was hard to hide the fact that it made her a little uncomfortable. She squirmed a bit under Hild as she responded to the propositions the two had made, though at first, she did not really say anything about the whole maid proposition, in fact, she almost wanted to just ignore it completely, though she knew that would quickly become impossible. “Yuki, hun, you don’t have to go off like that, eh? Sure, it makes you look adorable, like a little school girl, when you start talking out of nowhere about stuff like what colors look best on you (and frankly I think whatever colors you choose to wear would look good on you), but you don’t need to be nervous around us. Just have a drink, calm down, and talk to us like you would anyone else, eh?”

But, now, she supposed she had to directly address the bang-maid proposition, not just in what words Yuki had responded to it. Really, though, what struck her oddest about the entire scenario (which was hopefully just a fantasy or role-play sort of thing), was that Hild was talking about them moving out into a house together – Hypatia thought she was the one who wanted a stable relationship, not Hild. The difference, she supposed, was that she wanted to take it slow and be essentially monogamous, while Hild wanted to move into a relationship quickly, but put no sexual limits whatsoever on it [at least in Hypatia’s mind, right or wrong though she might be]. Still, it struck her as odd that Hild was willing to indicate that extreme level of commitment (i.e. buying a house together), so it must all just be some sexual role-playing scenario, right? So play along, just have fun, and tomorrow or the next day you can have a serious discussion about your relationship, not here in the club, she reassured herself… again. Still, it was hard to mask that this did make her feel a little weird, “Uh, yeah, why not, let’s have a live-in sexing maid, handing out massages and hand-jobs like hotcakes. And maybe, when she’s been bad, we can, uh, punish her and all… yeah.” Yeah, that was all a bit awkward coming out, but why not let those two have their fun, at least for tonight.

[Hild Ravencroft]

Hild was slightly dumbfounded to say the least when she heard Yuki's reply. A neat little idea for one night or so as far as the whole dressup part (but the aspect of her staying with them to maybe help out and play with was true.... not like Hild could cook worth a damn). But for the most part, it had actually been a joke to mess with both girls. She had expected some comment out of Hypatia on any of it and Yuki saying no, but this was all well... weird. If they could figure out some way to deal with their different definitions in a relationship, she could see her and Hypatia moving out to a house together... other then to get away from that professor next door that always came over to bug her for alcohol. Cripes he made Hild feel like she only drunk a little. But, Hypatia seemed like she thought she was serious and all... and Yuki was serious.... this was nuts.

"Well... I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of reply...." Hild said, looking over at Yuki. A fellow professor had actually agreed to be a bang-maid, which to Hild was a little odd. Was she that desperate to hook up with them? She resisted the urge to ask if the girl was a virgin if she was that eager yet nervous. Though, she then turned back to Hypatia as she said, "Give me some credit Hypatia.... I may want a little something on the side and to maybe share... but I wouldn't hire a fuck maid... let alone have a co-worker be one.... unless we want to do something like that for a single night or someone loses a bet...." Sure, the idea was kinda hot and kinky.... but she'd do it as a one off deal... she did have some rules, standards and lines. "Besides... it should have been obvious I was teasing on it... you know I'm almost as broke as you are and can't afford a house... least not for another couple months."

She saw someone else leave, and quickly grabbed the stool they had been on and put it between the two girl's, sitting so she was facing the two of them, one on each side. She turned briefly and got her next glass off the bar, taking a sip as she thought on what she wanted to do next. She was in a playful mood... Yuki seemed ridiculously submissive... and Hypatia seemed jealous and all. Though, as she thought of it, she wanted to play with both girls... and get a little payback on Hypatia for the first time they were in the bar together. But of course she had to be wearing pants to make it that much harder. She grabbed the other two's stools, pulling them so they were next to each other, and directly in front of her as a little grin crossed her face.

"Now why don't we just worry about having some fun in the short term" she said, sliding a hand up Hypatia's leg, before sling it down the waist of her pants, but kept it on the other side of the underwear, the fabric separating her hand from the rest as she let it roam around, her grin widening as she did the same to Yuki, but slid it up the dress. Though as her hand traced lines along the underwear and all, as she toyed with both girls she realized Yuki was very different. Sure they were two different women, but she had felt this kind of difference before... not that she wanted to remember the lesson.

A smirk crossed Hild's face as she looked at Yuki, letting the finger tips press against the cloth a little more. "No wonder Yuki want's to get with us so bad, Yuki's never been with anyone has she?" Hild said as she toyed with both girls and waited for Yuki's answer. Though, she quickly pulled her hand's out of the other two's clothing when she inadvertently made eye contact with rune, who's look was enough warning that she was pushing her luck. Part of her wanted to suggest going to her place to keep talking and drinking... that way she could bring Hypatia onto her lap and really play with her... but she didn't want to rush that since they had only just met Yuki, and she wasn't sure what Hypatia's feelings would be on that idea. Hild was both impressed and a little annoyed she actually had some level of impulse control at the moment. She leaned in and kissed Hypatia, holding a bit, before moving up to Hypatia's ear, and whispering so only Hypatia would hear and not Yuki, "Maybe we should take her home just to teach her", her tone one of being playful about it. She wanted to fuck Yuki, yes, but she didn't want Hypatia thinking she had another absurd reason to bring her home, and she didn't want Yuki to say anything from hearing it that might make things more awkward even for hild herself. She was still thrown a bit from her agreeing to be a sex maid.

It somehow seemed that the two of them were actually believing she was serious about all of that. Well, maybe she would have been a little bit, but it wasn't THAT potent of a feeling. She was mainly trying to joke around, to make sure she was having a good time with them, but it honestly seemed like they believed her when she said she would do it! Well, maybe for a night. That wouldn't be SO bad right? You know, agreeing to play that role for a night or time, get some experience and practice in, have some fun...Stuff like that. But to actually consider doing that for real? That would be something that she would have no idea on what to do. That would have to surely be addressed, it seemed like while trying to play around with them, it was taken a bit more seriously than she thought it would be. Though it might be fun to continue running with it to see how serious they really thought she was, but that would probably end in a very, very terrible way if that were the case. So as she drank down her drink she giggled a bit and then took in a breath. "My, my you two are silly. You really thought I was serious about that? Maybe for a night or two at the most, but other than that I don't think I could do it that well. I mean if you want I can cook things for you and just give it to you at the school or at home, since I think we all live in the same apartment complex. But being a um...Sex servant? I don't think I would be very good at that at all." There, that wasn't so hard at all now was it? At least she didn't think so, but still the way they reacted to it, it was as if they didn't want her to be around the two of them at the moment, and so the thought of leaving was once again playing through her mind. She knew she had overstayed her welcome now and she just wanted to leave before she made an even bigger fool out of herself. But the thing was, would they really go for that? Would they let her leave that easy, or would they keep her there to where she would get to regret her silly words and foolish choices to try and play along with them? It was now more clear than ever that she had no idea what she was doing with all of this. She was probably just a joke, a laugh for them at this point... And sadly, those thoughts were having a bit of an effect on the woman, she got a little silent and looked down at the bar, she was nearly convinced now that she didn't belong here around the two of them, even if Hypatia was telling her to calm down and relax. It was a little harder than that for her, seeing the two of them being so close and how she was more or less intruding on that. If she could try this meeting all over again? She would probably try to keep her head about her better, but there was no such things as second tries and the damage had already been done. So now...Now she ordered one more drink and took in a deep breath, getting herself calm and all in time for Hild to have moved and shifted around a bit, blinking a couple of times she watched what was happening. And in the next few set of events, she felt as if she wanted to die. Watching closely as Hild moved her and Hypatia close, and then watching the hand going into Hypatia's pants. Which she thought was normal, they were together and that was fine, but then? Then she felt the hand going up her dress and playing with her as well. This caused her to freeze on the spot and turn a nice shade of red. And judging from the reactions of Hild? The other knew she was a virgin, the other knew she had never been with anyone and now she just wanted to crawl away and hide under a rock or something. And it wasn't because she got played with like that. That she didn't mind. It was just the fact that it was now a confirmed fact that she had never had -anything- before. Looking back down at the bar as her face got even more red she tried to steady herself and order a couple of drinks this time, slamming them down to try and get over the pure feeling of shame and embarrassment that she was feeling at the moment. Looking back over to the two after Hild pulled away from her, she wanted so badly to just get up and leave than, but she couldn't. She didn't know why she couldn't, but she just didn't want to move from the spot, or at least her body didn't want to. Letting out a soft sigh she placed her gaze over the two for a few moments and then spoke one more, not knowing what else she COULD do at the moment. "So, as I'm sure Hild knows quite well from her little exploring she just did, I am in fact a complete and total virgin. It might be part of the reason I was trying so hard, but it's not the only factor about it. I'll be perfectly honest, I've always thought the two of you were beautiful in your own ways when I've passed by you at the school. So please forgive me, and well...I do believe I shall take my leave at this point. I've already made a fool of myself enough to last for quite some time, mm?" The words she spoke were almost choking her, but she had to say them. She wanted so badly to go, but at the same time... Though it was a long shot, she wanted at least one of them to stop her, but what would be the point in that? She was just a third wheel, and an unexperienced one at that. So she was clearly in a spot that she had NO idea how to handle, so it would be best to leave right? But still she couldn't. Her body refused to move and so she was left sitting there between shame and foolishness. And all for the sake of what? Being some form of toy for a night? Well, it was better than nothing, but at the same time...Was that really all she could be worth? It was all so confusing. And so, the only answer she came up with? Go silent and just get a drink every once in a awhile, trying to push all of her silly reactions and everything else out of her mind. It was clearly something that gnawed at her heavily. And the next time she spoke it was just loud enough for the other two to hear. "I'm sorry...It's just a subject that hits me rather hard. Even now I feel like I should go as to not intrude on the time you two are having. I would like to know what it's like, but...No luck in that are at all. So forgive me for my terrible reactions and nervousness. I just...Don't know any better." And with that? She waited to see how badly they would react to her. Table by Cloud from KC and Ventus from KU
