Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday Afternoon

Apr 06, 2009 11:46

Done with classes for the day, Hannibal had wandered into the common room with the intention of bonding with the couch and television set. It seemed like a good way to start forgetting the past few days. He was just going to avoid things with dead people and...hell, he was just going to watch cartoons ( Read more... )

Lois had no idea what she was walking into but, damn, was she going to be happy she brought her cell phone with her into the common room.

"Let's welcome Lois!" Hannibal bellowed. Of course he knew her name. He had CARDS with all that information. And a teleprompter. Which was just the television. "Please, have a seat dear."

Hannibal was just going to stand behind the couch and be queen like.

Lois stopped dead in her tracks and kind of stared at Hannibal for a second. "Uh...okie dokey."

She went over to the couch and sat down slowly. Who was she to argue with a crazy person?

"Now, Lois," Hannibal said, crossing one arm and looking at her sympathetically. "Would you like to tell us your story?"

Hannibal was ready to tell it himself is Lois clammed up. Some guests did. She hated when that happened.

"...I have a story?" she asked.

"Now, now, Lois, there is nothing to be ashamed of!" Hannibal said, voice taking on its most empathetic tone. "Tell us how you became a transexual hooker?"

The audience 'ooooooh'ed, their eyes on Lois.

"It's why you're here, after all."

"WHAT?" Lois squeaked. "I'm not transexual!"

Wait for it...

"Or a hooker!"

"I know this is difficult for you," Hannibal said soothingly. "To have this shared on national television..."

Or the radio.

"...but this is healthy. There are other transexual hookers like you and you can help them. How old were you when you lost your virginity, Lois? Did that cause you to become a transexual first or a hooker first?"

Lois stared.

And stared some more.

Oh, fuck it.

"I lost my virginity when I was twelve," Lois lied. "To a sheep farmer from Nebraska. That's what led me into hookering."

Somewhere Chloe was facepalming.

"How awful!" The audience made a slew of sympathetic noises. Save for that one woman who kept throwing Lois the bitchface. Not that Lois could see that. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you ever try and get out of that life?"

"No, not really. I love being a hooker," Lois replied, figuring that would get good imaginary ratings. "Those men and sometimes women made me feel loved. Sure I could do without the pregnancy scares and the rug burn but other than that..."

Hannibal just shook his head sadly. So young, so tragic.

"And when did you realize you were a transsexual?"

"Around the ninth grade when I signed up for the cheerleading squad just to wear the skirts," she said. "Oh, I was a dude first, by the way. My real name is Louis."

"You're so very open about your issues!" Hannibal enthused, clutching the mic to his breast. He looked like he was hugging a ketchup bottle. "Do you need a tissue?"

Lois wasn't crying but Hannibal damn sure thought she was. He thrust a box of tissue at Lois.

"Let it out!"

Lois took the box of tissues into her hands because it seemed like the polite thing to do. "All I wanted was to be Prom queen and dance with a hot football player and they said I couldn't because I had five o' clock shadow! It's not fair! I just wanted to be pretty!"
