The Bluth Yacht, Sunday night after closing Caritas

[bluth_illusions]

GOB walked up to his yacht with a great many misconceptions about what was going on tonight. Not that anything would be much different if he didn't have those misconceptions. Essentially, things were happening and GOB didn't understand why. All he understood was that he was bringing a woman home tonight

"Not that I remember," said Mary, who also didn't also anything that happened before Saturday. "You live here?"

[bluth_illusions]

"Yep," GOB said, leading her to the deck. "My family's insanely rich, so I get perks like use of the family yacht."

Actually, he stole the yacht. But still.

[montecito_east]

Even if she could not remember, Mary was still a girl from the Nevada desert and walking on the deck of a yacht was unfamiliar. "I guess I haven't been here before," she said, trying to keep her balance.

GOB held out a hand to steady her a little as he opened the door to his living area. It was surprisingly neat, largely because there wasn't much in there. A large bed - of course - a couple chairs, a kitchenette, and several props from his illusion shows. "You get used to it," GOB said. "It's like having a water bed for your entire house."

"It must be nice to be able to move on and take your house with you if you have to get away," said Mary.

She wasn't entirely sure why she said that, but the thought of running away from something seemed awfully familiar.

"I've done that a few times. It's not all it's cracked up to be," GOB said. "For one thing, people keep finding you." He was talking about his family, of course. And there was the time that he ran away and when he came back his girlfriend had left.

"But I can't complain too much. Not when I have a beautiful woman on my yacht with me." GOB closed the door when they were inside and pulled his pants off. Literally pulled. He always wore breakaway pants like strippers wore. It made getting down to business so much faster.

"I believe there's some business we need to take care of before moving on to other things," said Mary. She couldn't remember doing this before, but she had a feeling that she should negotiate her price before taking anything off.

[bluth_illusions]

"There is?" GOB asked. Then he remembered the stripper thing. "That's right. Do you take checks or does it have to be cash?"

GOB had learned not to pay strippers with credit cards. Sure, Mary was his friend and probably trustworthy, but you couldn't be too sure.

[montecito_east]

"Sorry, honey, but I don't take checks," said Mary. At least, she assumed that was her policy since that suitcase in her closet was full of cash.

[bluth_illusions]

"Not a problem," GOB said. He reached into a dresser and pulled out a briefcase labeled "FOR HOOKERS AND STRIPPERS." It was cash that he kept for emergencies.

He pulled out handwavey amount and laid it on a table. "That should do."

[montecito_east]

Mary couldn't help noticing the label on the briefcase. "Seems like you do this fairly often. Are you sure we haven't done this before? Or maybe you usually go with one of my other girls?"

[bluth_illusions]

GOB was confused again. But he was this close. His pants were off. Thinking wasn't about to stop him. "We definitely haven't, but I've done this enough times to know what I'm doing."

He was talking about both the payment and what came after the payment. He thought. He was pretty sure. No more thinking.

[montecito_east]

That might be a good thing. Mary had gotten this far and she had no trouble with everything else. But now that the money was on the table, this didn't seem very familiar. "Guess I should take this off," she said, reaching for the zipper of her dress.

[bluth_illusions]

"Yep!" GOB said. While she was reaching for her zipper, GOB had already unbuttoned his shirt - he had a technique - and was pulling his shirt and jacket off. While he was doing that, he kicked his shoes off.

Faster than would be expected, he was wearing nothing but his socks and boxers. He really did know what he was doing with this kind of thing.

[montecito_east]

Mary took her time unzipping her dress and letting it slip to the floor, leaving her wearing just a lacy bra and matching panties. "I see you don't believe in taking things slow," she commented.

[bluth_illusions]

"I take my time where it counts," GOB said reaching down to take off his socks. That part always took a little longer. Stupid socks. "I'm all for hurrying to that part, though. We're both here, why spend any more time with clothes on than we need to?"
