Lilly's been around. She just hasn't been as noticeable as she is tonight after her conversation with Bernard, cheerfully sitting next to a rather large sign with a picture of herself on it, pointing and smirking. The words below the picture read:

Madam Lilly Wants YOU...

...to be a whore. Hey, odds are good that if you've wound up here, you're

Lucy is staring in a cross between complete and utter amusement and complete and utter horror.

She's not sure which to go with.

It's a very odd look on her face.

[awesome_lilly]

It really is. It just makes Lilly laugh more than she already is.

"What up, sai? Come to apply? Because I think Caspian might not love that, although fuck that if you really want to do it. Oooh! Or get him to pay and you can do both!"

[called_lioness]

"--Lilly," she says calmly, "can you imagine the look on Caspian's face if I suggested such a thing, or informed him I was a whore?"

She seems to be going with amusement.

A lot of this might be because she's imagining Caspian's face.

[awesome_lilly]

"Yes," Lilly says promptly.

"And that's why I think you should do it. Just... don't let him be drinking anything at the time."

[spcl_agt_cooper]

Cooper studies the sign.

Studies the girl.

Studies the sign.

And gets up with his newspaper and takes the chair opposite.

He's got a mug of coffee in his hand.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly studies him appraisingly.

"Tall, dark, coffee-drinking... it's a popular type. Okay. What's your name, age, favorite position and how would you rate your overall flexibility -both mental and physical- on a scale of 1 to 10?"

[spcl_agt_cooper]

"Dale Cooper, FBI, thirty-five, Warrior II, ten, and ten."

Beat.

"I assume you're not talking about yoga."

[awesome_lilly]

"Nope," Lilly says cheerfully. "I mean, depends on the client I guess. Someone could possibly have a yoga fetish."

She tilts her head at him.

"Are you dead, alive, or other? Oh, also, are you Bound? And if not, what are your available hours?"

[eldorne_girl]

[Delia Stares]

[and then starts to giggle]

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly catches sight of Delia and smiles brightly.

"Delia, right? Indy's ex? Want to apply? I'm pretty sure you qualify."

[eldorne_girl]

[She makes a little face at that]

Aye, Indy's ex.

[she slides her hands into her jean pockets, and glances from the sign to Lilly and back again]

Might as well.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly arches an eyebrow a little at that.

"Okay, then. I know your name. What's your client type?"

She pulls out a notepad she was half-expecting not to need at all.

[ash__evildead]

Ash hasn't seen Lilly since his well-deserved asskicking. The sign, however, gets a stare and a raised eyebrow.

[awesome_lilly]

Ash gets a raised eyebrow right back.

"If you think I'm hiring you, you're insane. How do I know you wouldn't just pull out halfway through and ditch on your client?"

[ash__evildead]

"What makes you think I'd wanna apply? Sheila'd kick my ass worse than you did."

The fact that Sheila's due to give birth any day now doesn't enter into this in the slightest.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly shrugs.

"You do stupid things. So. Given Sheila any reasons to kick your ass lately?"

[smallestopener]

Ingress has become a much better reader, but there are still many words that are not in her vocabulary. "Hi, Lilly! What's a whore?"

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly smiles warmly at her.

"Hi, Ingress! Good question."

She sits up a little straighter, and switches to her best After-School Special voice.

"A whore has several different meanings, but it's mostly someone who has a lot of sex. Like, a lot, and generally gets paid for it. Some people think it's a mean thing to call someone, too, but whatever."

[smallestopener]

"Like wench? That's a mean word, and I can't call Door that anymore or I get in trouble."

Ingress doesn't really know what sex is, but she has gone to Floating Markets all her life. What she's seen there would be enough to frighten most people.

(Not Lilly, though, I'm sure.)

[awesome_lilly]

"Kinda," Lilly says, looking thoughtful.

"Maybe we need to step back. You know what sex is, right?"
