Ah -- fuck.
ashley-bowen:
You got it. Gin it is, my friend. So…yeah.
Thank you. What’d you do today?
Ah -- fuck.
ashley-bowen:
As long as you can still down a few shots, it’s all good. What’s your poison tonight?
Fuck, I don’t even know. Anything that will fuck me up. Gin is always a good choice for that.
Ah -- fuck.
ashley-bowen:
Anything I can do to help? Buy you a drink or something?
Ugh, no. I’m just...falling apart. I won’t ever say no to a drink though, even if my knees might break before we get there.
Ah -- fuck.
ashley-bowen:
I do what I can. Seriously, though, you good or?
Oh, I’m fine. Just -- ow. Falling apart in my old age.
Ah -- fuck.
ashley-bowen:
…you look like shit.
You know, that’s one thing I appreciate about you. You’re always ready with a nice compliment.
Ah -- fuck.
This sucks.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
How does that even work? Do you just…reappear somewhere or? I don’t know. I don’t know a lot about how most of the fae work, I didn’t even know this whole world existed until…well, until I came here, I suppose. Complicated like…are we really going to get that deep here at Thanksgiving ish dinner or? Oh, that…yeah, I suppose that all…that makes sense. Eradicate the immoral threat to society and all that. I guess…there just aren’t really ever going to be a lot of us. Are there…others out there or is it…is it like one of those oh, you’re the last of a dying breed kind of bullshit things?
Nah. The Valkyrie just...this body will die and then someone comes to get me. That’s what we do. Haunt battlefields to clear them of the dead and inspire massive fear. Sometimes we work for armies, sometimes we’re just the vultures. Anyway, someone comes to get me, I’m swept up to Valhalla and I’m just...restored and sent back down. I don’t ever...remember much about that, to be honest. I’m normally sent back with another Valkyrie until my mind starts to readjust. Hah, fair enough. I think this kind of counts as Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll eat later. Mhmm. The Puritans were the worst. So the subbubi and incubi repressed it and then it swept out and they ended up killing humans as they fed. Oh god no, you’re not the last one. There are more incubi than succubi but. I know...well. I’m pretty sure anyway the dark has, or had a succubus before you showed up. Why do you think The Morrigan was pushing for you so god damn hard?
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
So you just…you just die and have to live a whole fucking life again? That’s…yeah, that’s shit. The Ash doesn’t love it, no, but fuck it. I’m doing my thing and it’s just…that’s how it’s going to be. They can shove it. They have enough pawns in their war, I don’t need to be another one. …it’s…complicated. I don’t…you know, it’s complicated. How does all of that even work, I mean…why aren’t there more of me?
Hah, no. I’m always reintroduced at like...peak performance? So mid to late twenties is what I come back as. A lot of the memories are hazy and there are gaps there but. I generally remember how I died and the rest comes back in snippets over time. Fair enough. Neutrality has it’s benefits, to be sure. ...complicated how? You know, I don’t...know, really. I remember back in the...well. The literal Dark Ages, succubi were viewed like witches. Something to be snuffed out because most of the time they were unpredictable and dangerous, and everything was so puritanical, you know? So a lot of the time, the templars just...killed them. So the bloodlines got diluted, some died out altogether, it was...not a great time, generally speaking. I imagine that has something to do with it. That, plus you all don’t...come back like the Valkyrie. You die and that’s it. And with so much death back then, the gene didn’t take root as often as a lot of other species. That and...well. Most succubi or incubi even have very little desire to actually have kids. You guys don’t settle down in that way, most of the time, like a lot of other kinds do.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
Months where you weren’t around? Mm, well, if it comes to that, we’ll see, but you know…I just don’t want to be a part of it. You guys are a whole ass thing that I just…it’s not me. I didn’t ask to be what I am and I’d rather just…stay out of the fae drama. Not so terrible? It’s absolute shit, but alright. I’ll consider it, though, I guess. A partner could help with business, help solve problems faster. Mm, I guess we aren’t…very common?
Yeah. I mean I do die eventually. I just...come back. My lifespan’s long, but it doesn’t last forever because the human body just...weakens after a time. Yeah, I mean, that’s fine. Don’t get me wrong, I know it pisses The Morrigan off, and I assume it pisses The Ash off too but...I don’t care, personally. You do you, good on you for finding a loophole. Why do you think it’s so bad? Genuinely. Why do you hate being a fae so much? Nah, you’re really not. It’s not a bad thing, but I haven’t seen very many succubi and I’ve been alive a long time. Or well...existed a long time might be a better way to phrase it.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
Which, to a normal not quite human like myself, is basically the very beginning, okay. I…don’t think that’s necessary at all. I don’t want to pick a side, there’s no reason for me to get involved. I don’t even want to be a fay. Potentially someone could pop up, who knows. I guess I’m open to the thought of having a partner, maybe. What can I say, I’m a succubus. It’s kind of in the job description to be good at sex.
Fair enough. I have been around a while. Not in one consistent thing though. There were some months where I wasn’t around. Well, I mean...whatever floats your boat, I guess but -- I don’t know. I’m just telling you from experience that when things start to go tits up, picking a side is sometimes just...necessary. Yeah, this whole world is kind of shit, but...I don’t know. Being a fae isn’t so terrible? Yeah, I don’t know, look around. I was shoved with Dyson with no choice and we get along-ish now so. Picking someone you like will probably turn out better. I wouldn’t know. I’ve only ever actually met one succubus before. Heard of ‘em, sure, but.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
Every war from the beginning of time, the way you make it sound. I’ve been fortunate enough to keep my ass out of them and that’s where I plan to stay. All the drama and the bullshit just…I’ll stay out of it, thanks. I guess it could be nice to have a partner, but…it is what it is. I do good work on my own anyway. Well, do I have any reason not to think it?
Well, not the very beginning, no. But I was in them before we had guns. If wars get too bad though Ash...eventually you’ll probably be forced to pick a side. I don’t think this stupid shit will get to that point, but. Still. You could look for one, you know. See if someone in Trick’s bar might be your style. I mean, no, I’ll do it, but jesus. Have it happen once and you’re awful sure I’ll do it again.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
Peace is overrated. Not that it has anything to do with me, though, that’s on you all. Neutral and unaffiliated with either side for a reason here. I don’t need protection, though, I do just fine on my own. Much better, even, than you police. Oh, I’m not trying, I am sleeping with you.
Hah, peace is not overrated. Do you know how many wars I’ve been in? I much prefer peace, or at least playing at it than the alternatives. Wars are messy and gross and give me a constant headache. I’m not saying you need my protection, jesus christ. I’m just saying having a little insurance is kind of nice. ...not that it would matter, I guess. It would for like...Dyson though. Oh? And what makes you think that?
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
That’s fair. I just work out enough to fuel my addiction to shit food. I guess I have to kind of stay in shape for what I do as well since…I do your job, just better and for probably more money. PI work is a much better gig. You are, absolutely.
You know, PI work probably is a much better gig, but the factions do like to play at peace. Plus, you’re not nearly as protected as we are. If something happens to us, at least all our shit is handled. And you don’t do my job better, I hate to tell you. On par, maybe, but not better. Picked up generally implies you’re trying to sleep with me. Are you trying to sleep with me?
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
I kill a good taco Tuesday, absolutely. Mm, that sounds…healthy. Not that healthy food is bad, but tacos are better. I don’t have anything against the holidays, I guess? I don’t know. It’s easier to get into when you have actual plans is all. But, hey, I guess I can’t complain to much. I had a few drinks and picked up a hot girl to come home with me for dinner. Could be worse.
I mean true, healthy food isn’t as good as tacos. But I’d rather not gain a ton of weight. I need to be able to chase some assholes down sometimes. Fair enough. Just kind of makes it another random day if there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go on it. Oh, I’m picked up now, am I?
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
Tacos are probably my best go to. What about you? God, not me. I just don’t have it in me to be patient. I have you know. Needs and such. Oh, I’m sure he would if I asked him to. I just…don’t have that much of a need for a big fuss on the holidays. Weird and difficult to understand, fair enough. Everyone has their shit.
Tacos, huh? That’s not too bad, I like tacos. Ah, mostly grilled chicken for me? Grilled chicken and baked zucchini and some other side. It normally depends how I feel that day. Mm, fair enough. Most people love the holidays, I’m surprised you’re not so into them.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
I have a few things I’m good at, but generally like I’m pretty average with cooking. I just don’t have the patience for it. Uh, I don’t know, most people are still kind of weird about me being around, so I keep to myself more than anything. Ooh, yeah that might just be a step too far. I’d have to be a little more drunk before I start sharing family history here.
What are you especially good at? I have the patience for cooking. Not so much right now but. A few years ago I could sit and watch paint dry. I can be very patient. Mm, makes sense. Maybe Trick could host something for us at some point. Well...okay. Not us. He likes you. He could host something for you. Same though. ...although honestly, my family’s not that bad, really. It’s just...weird and difficult to understand.
Happy fuckin’ Thanksgiving.
ashley-bowen:
I’m not a great cook. I do my best, so it’s like edible just…nothing special. I guess not, though? I don’t have anything against them, just…nothing to do for them either, so. They happen without me.
Nah? I do alright. I’m not great either, and it’s also edible, but it’s even good sometimes. Depending on what I make. Nah? You’ve been in town long enough. You haven’t made friends you feel comfortable doing all this stuff with? I’d ask about parents, but I feel like that might be diving too deep into tragic backstory for both our tastes.
